which placed him in the front rank of national leaders. In this letter the governor suggested a conference of governors and attorney generals to be called by the president at Chicago The conference was held in the follow ing February and Gov. Johnson, as its chairman and dominant figure, named the famous committee of fifteen" whose recommendations were em- bodied in the law in Minnesota and in about a dozen other states
 While the momentous decision re- gently given by the supreme court in similar cases coming up from North Carolina and Minnesota may have the effect of invalidating some of the rail way legislation secured by Gov. John son in Minnesota, the fact remains that he has done what he set out to do and secured the enactment of popular and beneficent Legislation. If, as now seems probable. the epoch making de- cision of the court in large measure transfers railway legislation from the states to the national legislature. 1t be. comes of particular significance that one of the earliest acts of Gov John. sons career as member of the Min nesota legislature was the introduce tion of memorial 10 congress to ex tend the powers of the interstate com merce commission, memorial which ante-dated the extension of those pow CTS by some four years.

MAN THE NATION REQUIRES.
John A. Johnson the Ideal Occupant
 of the Presidential Chair.

AS president. Gov Johnson would have the qualities that might described IS logically and historically needful at this time. representing both in thought and by concrete achievement all of the progressive reforms to which the American people are now thorough ly committed His personality and his methods are such that, coming into office after the strenuous and even terrifying political and financial ex- perlences of recent years, he would be prepared to hold all that has been gained, restore an era of good feeling and smoothly and comfortably prepare the way for such additional advanced Legislation as the times require In a word Gov Johnson is precisely the kind of leader the nation requires at this time, ready for new legislation to meet new needs, but careful and con servative in his methods The same contidenceinspiring, vote-getting at tributes that have made Gov. John son so popular in Minnesota that there Is absolutely no question that he could carry the state as the Demo cratic presidential nominee will make him equally popular with the voters or the nation, once they have an op- portunity to become acquainted with the man.
 Every political campaign has its in dividual conditions. It is found in this contest that Gov. Johnson possesses strength peculiar to him alone and by which he is certain to bring to the Democratic party upwards of million votes in the middle west that have hitherto been Republican This condi- tion insures beyond a reasonable doubt victory for Democracy and Gov. Johnson in the following states Min nesota North and South Dakota, Hi nois, Wisconsin. Iowa, Kansas, Ne braska, Colorado. Montana, Washing ton and Michigan.

A COACONUT FLOWER POT.

Have you ever tried to make a pot
for ferns or other plants from a cocoa
nut? 1t is a very easy thing to do.
and when you have obtained a cocoanut
YOU should cut it in half. either by
fling with a sharp saw, or else with a
chisel and mallet If you use these
latter tools you viii need to gently tap
round the point of division till a series
of marks have been made, when a saw
will speedily complete the work.
Having cut your cOcoanut in half
YOU will now need to bore three little
holes an equal distance apart with a
large knitting needle made red-hot.
You will next want either small chains
or else pieces OF wire with which 10
suspend your novel pot, and these you
will very easily fix
Now have another hole made In the
. base of your pot to act as drainage.
The next thing viii be to place a thin
layer of broken pieces of flower pot at
the bottom inside. and then I'LL up the
J nut with soil You can plant seeds or
. have a fern or a cTeeper 10 hang over,
I and / am sure you viii be pleased with
! this little novelty.

worth several hundred thousand dol
lars from the Silver King mine Thorn
TN lodged into the cave to escape a
mountain lion he had wounded. and
when he struck a light he found the
glistening ore.
For years the owners Of the Silver
King mine tried to stop the systematic
stealing OF their ore. The owners knew
they were being robbed. but they were
unable for a lsng time to learn how
IL was being done or who the thieves
were. Detectives were employed 10 hunt
down the thieves, but none OF them
was captured. After two years OF
watching, the detectives learned how
the ore was beiTis; stolen from the mine,
and they stopped the thefts.
How much silver the thieves stole,
the owners OF the mine never were able
10 learn. All OF II was IN its virgin
state, being almost pure metal The
silver found by Thornton corresponds

mine.

r. OLD COLOR

Since America took possession Of the
countries where they wear Panama hats
the women have made the best OF such
headgear. They are few, indeed, who
do not own one or more of them
Being women. they are rather tired Of
them by this time. They like the light
ness and the GOODNESS. but they are
weary of the straw color and the plain
black band
Some girl started in dyeing her .Pana-
ma hats, and she had so much success
that dozens followed her example. They
are not hard to dye. and they are usual
ly far more becoming than in their
natural color.
They are wound about with the Indian
2 scarf, which has taken such a grip on
the heart of the public. It can be
bought IN all colors and in a wide range
Of prices.
Some OF these hats are dyed crimson,
with the red. blue, and black scarf
wrapped around the crown. the frtnged
ends crossed at back and caught with
