Johnson of Minnesota Tremoves from our national political life a man unique in hi rise from obscurity and rare in his conduct in the days of his glory. American history recites the financial and political | Success of many men who began life under circumstances as trying as those which surrounded Governor Johnson, but few] fn the zenith of their fame have held the hearts of the Amer ican public as he | Governor Johnson more closely approached the American ideal as typified by Abraham Lincoln, the simple, clean-hearted big-minded man. Happier times and lesser events did not call on Governor Johnson to display that marvelous human | genius which has indelibly graven on time the name of Lin-| coln, but Governor Johnson showed what manner of man he was That “ been president of the United States, had not death intervened, is firmly set in the minds of many persons, not unskilled in presaging political events. Unquestionably in the last cam paign he was the strongest man in the democratic party, with the possible exception of Bryan, and there is question whether Johnson could not have achieved the nomination had he as sumed the part of the aggressor.

And it may have been that his political as tuteness—for Johnson was a keen ‘ him to bide his time. But be that as it may, there is little | doubt that three years hence he would have been the choice of the democratic party, and with the turn republican events} have recently taken, the possibilities for democratic would have been exceptionally great Johnson a democrat and Roosevelt a republican, making political reasoner—te victory allowance for personal characteristics and modes of expres-| sion, were closely allied in thought and sentiment, and as such more nearly representative of the feeling of the brow unpolitical democracy of the land than any other political leaders. Today the people are sighing for the days of Roose velt, and Johnson would have been the man to restore them But death takes no heed of the plans of man or men, and Governor Johnson, with life’s highest honor almost within reach, has lain down and died—died as he lived, bravely and with good cheer, Wall st. may not tremble, but the United States has suf fered its greatest loss for many a day back. ® Bven when it is done under the} From now on Dr. Cook will more| most respectable auspices, they than make up for the rubber boot don't ever really give you “your ragout of the Polar regions. money back” you, know. : Mr. Pinchot is sitting confidentiy | have been the easiest part of the like @ man who has cornered the| whole business visibly supply of aces. } + Dismissing Mr. Glavis appears to!
