The Stumbling of Governor johnson.

Governor johnson, it appears, has
been violently snubbed by the presi-
dent. 1t is said that all Washington
is laughing at him, though probably
that is an exaggeration. Washington
need not 90 so far away from home
for subjects of mirth.
The president is in the habit of turn
ing on his most tireless fatterers with
merciless snubs, when he suspects that
they fawn on him more for their own
glory than for his: In this case,
Whatever his motive, he has done a
distinct public service by reminding
governors of states of their own dig
nifty and self-respect. The chief ex-
ecutive of a sovereign state is not the
head of national Department., to be
summoned to Washington for instruc-
tions or to offer to wait on the presi-
dent to learn what he wants the state
legislature to do.
1t is enough to have reduced the
members of the cabinet, intended bv
the constitution to possess some inde-
pendent initiative, to mere executive
clerks. Let us have no pressing of a
button on governors of states. Above
all, let them not solicit that degrada-
ton. It is not so long since the gov
ernor of a remote and little considered
western state told Grover Cleveland
to mind his own business. We have
been drifting too far the other way.
There has been too much talk of
calling governors to Washington and
their running there without invitation
to see what the president wants them
to do. The motive of it was generally
excellent, but an example is set for
doing it for less worthy motives. It
should be possible to prevent conflict
among national and states laws with
out the subordination of provincial
governors to an emperor. Some little
friction can be borne to save the bal
ance of our federal institutions.
There will be no conference of gov
errors in Washington, to learn what
state railroad legislation the presi-
dent wants and convey his instruc-
tons to the state legislatures Gov
ernor Johnson's servile conception
OF his relation to the president is too
strong even for Theodore Roosevelt.

Does Not Like California.

Will Mirick writes from Oakland,
California, to the effect that he finds it
impossible to become accustomed to
the transforms in that country. It is
rain, rain, all the time. Will says
that wages are good in California,
but at the same time all the necessa-
ries of life are very high. In con-
his letter he adds: "Now,

S. B. SMITH IS DEAD
Grand Old Man Passed Away at Home
of His Daughter in Bremerton,
Washington,.Aged 50.
Mr.. Smith Was Formerly a Contrib
utOr to the Union and His Arti-
cles Were Widely Read.

News has reached US that our good
old friend S. B. Smith died at Brem-
erton, Washington, on March 20, 1907.
About four months ago Mr.. Smith
was attacked with Ia grippe, but his
last letter to the U n 10 n said that he
was slowly recovering from the all
ment. Later, however, he sustained a
relapse, which terminated fatally. On
the 30th of next month Mr.. Smith
would have been SO years of age.
S. B. Smith was born in Bangor,
Maine, came west in 1853 and located
in Lake City, where he remained
about twenty years, when he went to
New Hampshire and there resided five
years. He returned to Minnesota in
the fall of 1880 and settled on farm
in Stevens county near Morris, where
he resided some seventeen years. In
1897 Mr.. Smith came to Mile Laos
county and located in Milo, remaining
there until April, 1906, when he and
his wife moved to Bremerton, WASH
intgon. He was married in October,
1850, to Miss Mary Hidden of Nashua,
New Hampshire, and nine children
we're born of the marriage, four of
whom survive him, namely, Mrs.
Lizzie Williams, Manette, Washing
ton; Frank G.. Smith of Foley: Mrs.
Abbie Van Kleek of Milo, and S. J..
Smith of Princeton. His wife also
survives him.
The interment took place at Bremen
ton on Friday, March %.
S. B. Smith was an honorable man
he was a truthful man. He was a
man for whom the world is better that
he lived. Kind hearted, and endowed
with true Christian spirit, our old
friend set splendid example for
younger generations to follow. Mr..
Smith had not accumulated any large
portion of this worlds goods, neither
did he seek to obtain it. His ambition
was to live the simple life-to serve
God and do to men as they would be
done by. $50 - = .44-.'s' a7. p .',s+-5@'
Mr.. Smith was for many years a
correspondent of the Union and
previous to his leaving for Washing
ton wrote under the pseudonym of
''Hopeful Harry" His articles were
at all times interesting and logical:
He made it point to seek out facts
and possessed the faculty of placing
these facts lucidly before his read
ers. There was no guesswork about
Mr.. Smiths writings-no conjecture.
His articles we're widely read-especi-
ally by the farming community and
received much favorable comment
from the country press.
IT'S beyond the efforts of the pen to
do full justice to the memory of this
grand old man.

SECRETARY TAFT
TALKS OF PROJECT
SAYS "GovERNoR CHARLEs E.
HUGHES. OF NOW YORK,
WOULD nE A STRONG oANDI-
DATE"

Washington. Dec. 26.-"Governor
Hughes, OF S5N York. would be a
strong candidate"
This is the declaration Secretary
of War Taft Us credited with having
made to one OF his congressional Wis
itors. since his return to Washing
ton. in reviewing his prospects for
the Republican nomination for the
presidency.
The secretary refused TO make
any comment for publication since
coming back, but he talked more
politics than anything else during
the last two days. Many western
senators and Representatives have
waited upon him ostensibly to pay
their respects, but really to give the
secretary their views on the political
outlook and to gain from him an idea
OF what he thinks of the situation.
II is said that the secretary ex-
plains his estimate OF Governor
Hughes on the ground OF the popu-
lar impression the people outside OF
New York state have gained OF the
latter. In tie west II is said that
Mr.. Hughes Is regarded by the peo-
pie as a man who stands for much
that La Toilette OF Wisconsin, had
advocated without having any OF the
galleries. and that he is as progress
sive as President Roosevelt without
being as demonstrative' as the latter.
The governors fight for the public
utilities commission and his purpose
to put corporations under more
complete supervision OF the state
have been the cause of the popular
impression just described.
THINKS HUGHES POPULARITY
STRENGTH.
1t is said that Mr.. Taft rewards
this public estimate OF Governor
Hughes as the latter's strength. He
believes that the people form their
own estimate from a mans record
and they will express their prefer
ence In the selection OF delegates to
the convention. He is reported as
expressing the belief that this popu-
lar estimate will make Mr. Hughes
one of the strongest men I'm the
neld.
