~ OIL. S. L. JOHNSON, Of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer" has returned
~ from attendance on the meeting
of the Democratic State central
committee at Columbus. Colonel John
son has long been prominently identi-
fed with Ohio journalism, and for many
years was one of the leading members
of the staff of John r McLean's great
Democratic newspaper. For something
over fifteen years he has been either the
head OF the Washington bureau OF the
Enquirer or the principal editorial
writer of the paper. At present he con-
ducts the short but bright editorial page
of the Enquirer" from the Office in Gin
cinnati or his desk in Washington, as
he finds most convenient. He is one Of
the most popular members of the fra
ternity here, and was one of the ablest
presidents the Gridiron Club ever had
His interest in Ohio politics has been
active for many years Ito say how many
would give his age away, but he has
never sought office. He was proposed
at last weeks meeting of the Buckeye
Democratic State committee for tempo
rary chairman of the State convention
at Sandusky. This, of course, meant
that he would have fired "the opening
gun" of the campaign, which is consid-
cred so important In politics.
Mayor Tom !. Johnson, of Cleveland
running In his own behalf, was chosen
over Sam johnson by majority of one
third of one vote In the State commit

Democratic convention of an opening
address of uncommon brilliancy, for Col.
Sam Johnson is know in Washington as
q spell binder" His talents in this
direction have never been on parade.

There is probably 20 class of people

blunders as amateur photographers, and
one of the stock dealers relates an ex-

planned that his films were as black as
ink and that no trace of a picture ccnld
be discovered on development. From
inquiry it was learned that the amateur
had been careless in the use of the shut

structions as to the correct methods of
exposure the tyro was requested 10 give
the camera further trial. This proved
as unsatisfactory az the first attempt
and the films were brought back TO The
dealer for a solution of the difficulty.

The outing OF the camera club for
Decoration Day, after considerable dis
cussion. was abandoned for want Of
interest. and for the further reason that
sufficient members could not agree on a
suitable location for the excursion. In
the matter of outings this city seems to
be far behind some of the cities Of Cali
fornia. A recent letter from a member
of the San Francisco Camera Club states
that an outing of three days, in which
over 100 of the members participated,
has recently been held, while at Los
Angeles, at their annual club outings,
a special train is chartered and the
coaches are tastily decorated with the
name of the club and photography and
a social time is given the best of oppor-
tunities.

The recent death of Mr.. Howard G.
Douglas closes the career of one of the
most eminent amateur photographers OF
this country. Mr.. Douglas at one time
had one of the finest collections of sun
set pictures ever exhibited. and it was
on work of this class that he secured
the highest ward in an exhibition of
American work that was collected by
Alfred Steiglitz and sent to Scotland to
be passed upon by ]. Craig Amman. In
this collection Of pictures the names OF
the contributors were not made known
and Mr.. AMMAN was requested TO select
the best work and award the prize by
the number affixed to the print. In
later years Mr.. Douglas has confined his
Photographic work to photographs of
the interior of the Library of Congress,
and the prints have found ready sale
both in this and ii other cities.
