State capitals usually hear Of move
ments to change capitals often enough
to remind them that they are capitals.
The big city sometimes wants to be
the capital because it IS big. The
little city wants it, having the idea
that this would make 1t big. The
former case prevails in Maine this
winter, where the legislature is be-
seged to move the capital from
Augusta to Portland. Spokane is am
bilious to be a state capital, but can
not hope to get the prize away from
erect a new state out of parts of Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho with
Spokane at the center. A newspaper
in western Nebraska has made the
biennial threat that the capital of Ne
braska will be moved to the sand hills
unless Lincoln. is awfully good and re-
spectful to other parts of the state.
The desire to be a state capital per-
sists in all cities in all states where
the slightest claim to eligibility ex-
lists, despite the open fact that the
capitals of the states are in compara-
lively few instances large or rich
cities. Hardly a dozen states have for
their state capital their largest city,
and hardly a state, perhaps none, has
a large capital city made large by
the fact of it's being a state capital
Still. no big city and no little city
would feel like declining an opportun-
ity to entertain the state legislature
every year or two and meeting the
governor on his ally walks like any
common man.

THE WORLD


39V YER $50 lives were lost on the 18th
III by collision between two boats
off the coast of Rhode Island. The
schooner Harry Knowlton struck
the Joy Line steamer Larchmont
bound from Providence to New York,
sinking her within short time. There
were 1856 persons aboard the Lareh-
mont, of whom all but nineteen per-
ished. The weather was bitterly cold,
and the victims who We're thrown IN
to the water froze before they had
time to drown. Captain McVey Of the
foundered vessel was one Of the nine
teen survivors, he having left the ship
in the first boat to leave. This catas-
trophe occasioned the largest loss or
life from any single disaster in this
country since the San Francisco earth
quake of a year ago.

was returned to power. King Edward

A MAN OF DESTINY

Governor Johnson of Minnesota has been mentioned so often and SO prominently in connection with the democratic presidential can 1idacy for 1908 that many persons are beginning to take him serious ly. The fact that he is Colonel Watterson's clark horse" helps him only to the extent that the colonel joins a good many. other democrats in thinking that he would be good man for tho candidacy. Johnson is the editor of newspa per in a little town in Minnes ota, has been a member of i'the legislature. and is serving his second term as governor of a stalwart republican state. The last named circumstance shows that he has some personal popu
 larity in his community.
 Governor Johnson has certain elements of attractiveness for the democracy. He has won som. victories. In year in which Roosevelt carried Minnesota by 161, ,O0O. leaving all previous records far behind, Johnson carried the state for governor on the demo cratic ticket. He carried the state in 1906 by 76,0OO. Tens of thousands of republicans must have voted for him in each of his two elections. He has given Minnesota the best government it has had in years. He is young able, active, and an orator who attracts big audiences. For these reasons. it is not surprising that many democrats, disheartened at their party's long series of defeats and miliations, turn to him for ieliverance. It is not at all certain that Governor Johnson could carry his state for president. It is no, entirely certain.that he could not carry the country. But in these anti democratic days Governor Johnson would probab bly make as strong a run for the presidency a- any man who could be thought of as a democratic nominee.
