Convict Regiments,

At the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the British army had bad
reputation at home, and it was very
difficult to get recruits for 1t. For this
reason it was officially proposed to find
the men by an impressment falling on
"any sturdy beggar, fortune teller or
the like idle, unknown, suspected fell
low in the parish; or, If there be none
such, then any one that has already
been in a gaol or before justice of the
peace for his idle, disorderly life" The
advice was acted upon. Debtors were
released from prison on promising to
join the army or the navy, criminals
were pardoned on the same terms and
persons with no visible means of sub
sistence Were marched off to death and
glory. The system worked out better
than might have been expected. In the
peninsular war, for instance, three new
regiments We're composed entirely Of
convicts, and one made for itself an IL
austrious name.

leader. Gov. johnson was roundly
criticised by good folk everywhere be-
cause he had failed TO accept what
looked like grand opportunity. Not
once had he taken his stand with men
like Folk and la Toilette. Not once
had he reused the people with ring
ing utterance on the crying evils OF
the day. Not once had he stepped out
of his role of pleasant, hand-shak-
ing gentleman to become the embodi-
ment of the popular protest against
existing wrongs.
But he was reelected by an enor-
nous majority giving good proof that
personal popularity is bigger factor
in politics, eftentimes, than public
record.
The magnetic qualities of his per-
sonality had done for him what dis
tinguished public service had done for
La Toilette.
And success determines its own con-
ditions.
Because he had been purely pleas
ant governor genial, Misunderstanding
execute ye-touching none of the great
issues with final and decisive vigor-
it was generally agreed that his future
would end when his term as governor
ended.
But fortune was guiding him.
Not only was his policy of master
~ inactivity" and 'ssuperlative hand
shaking" sufficient to give him a sec
ond term as governor, but it turns out
that democracy is looking for just such
a man to lead the national fight in
1908.
Democracy has had its full experi-
ence with candidates who have done
things. 1t has stood often enough be-
hind a man with record.
Today it turns it's eyes over the coun-
try seeking candidate who has no
record.
| Mr.Hearst, with his socialistic ideas,
and Mr.. Bryan, with his government
ownership hobby, would seem to be the
ideal democratic candidates for the
next fight, but democracy wants a can
didate who can stand on any platform
it adopts whose past career will in
,, nowise contradict any of the high
sounding things which it may pro-
mulgate in that platform.
And all the time that the situation
was framing up for this sort of
candidate, John A. johnson was
quietly and unconsciously growing
toward that ideal of candidate, I'M
til today he stands as almost the one
man who fits all the conditions de-
manded.
Democracy must take it's candidate
for president from the west It can
not take a man Bryan will not in
dorse. Bryan, strange as it may
seem, will not oppose Johnson.
! And johnson fits all the conditions.
| The personal qualities which made
johnson governor second time by
the biggest majority ever given
governor in Minnesota are absolutely
essential in the next democratic presi-
Dental nominee.
His personal magnetism would
supply the first necessary factor, while
his policy of passivity would furnish
the second
Having stood for nothing definite
during the administration, his nomi-
nation would not necessitate apology
tor things past
Having never been an over-ardent
democrat he would not give unusual
offense to republicans.
The one lone embarrassment which
might arise would be the fact that

however. for both churches know

it be great if something should hap
pen to the bag, and finding themselves
in the same coach, they would go on
praising the Lord together!
The Baptist church is the young
est and worships- in the finest build
ing in town. The pastor, Rev. Mr..
Neal, is young man with all the ar
dor and enthusiasm and activity of
youth. Under his administration the
church is gaining rapidly in numbers
and influence, and it's story is not
yet told.
The Universalists were shepherded
for years by Rev. Mr.. Amber from
Massachusetts, a strong man and a
beautiful spirit. But the years have
borne upon him, and now there is no
pastor except occasionally as they
bang some fitting bird down on the
wing. This church ought to become
famous because of the economy and
common sense upon which 1t was
built. The cost, think, was $500 and
it is ample for their use, substantial,
convenient, and pretty as doll-houS.

spittoon.
The Episcopalians have their coy
little chapel, and now and then SER
vice. The members are loyal and hold
together, believing that the time is
near when a regular pastorate can be
sustained.
The Christian Science people occupy
the Universalist church when they
please. No doubt we are behind the
times in according them Christian
courtesies. Our faith is in great dan
ger of being uprooted. Henry Ward
Beecher's old church in Brooklyn has
just turned the key on them to save
