our streets and court rooms that no.

and conduct that knowledge of him

THE posToFFIcE BUILDING.

Collector Winchell is entirely right
In the position he takes with regard
to the repair of the present postofflce
building The postofiice itself has
outgrown the quarters allotted TO II
and on that account the repairs should
be made at once. The amount of
money appropriated by the senate,
which will doubtless be approved by
the house of representatives. is none
too much in bulk but II can he utlll-
lied In n way TO ease up present un-
comfortable conditions.
The argument that It would be UNI
wise to accept the proposed appro-
priation on the ground that II would
tend to discourage an appropriation
later for a new postoffice building
near the new railroad station does not
run on all fours. The idea would be
to retain the present structure for
other federal purposes than those Of
the postoflce II a new building was
erected elsewhere. The repairs Il
would receive now would make its
renovation less onerous. SO that in
urging the acceptance Of the proposed
sum of money for repair purposes on
the ground that bird in the hand
Is worth two in the bush Collector
Winchell shows his usual excellent
judgment
The refrain OF New Haven should
be to repair the present building and
then begin thoroughly organized
campaign for a new postoffice build
ing to be erected as near to the nov
railroad station as possible.

the White House conference. In per-
sonal appearance he is attractive, Tall
in stature, two or three inches over
six feet, he moves quickly He talks
Of his presidential boom with engag-
ing frankness but does not permit II
to turn his head a second.
The conclusion ono reaches of this
young man Is that he Is being trained
for future political honors beyond the
borders of his state rather than for
impending political honors of that
grade. There is no good reason to
question the nomination Of Mr., Bryan
1t Is recognized by the national, lead
ers of the democratic party that
whether 1t Is possible or not to win
with Mr., Bryan, 1t is impossible to
win should he be deliberately discard
ed by the national convention. These
being the conditions as they are view
ed at Washington, the enthusiasm
with which Governor Johnson Is
greeted there and elsewhere bears a
relation to four years hence. The
democratic leaders make no secret OF
their belief that Johnson Is the man
who Is ultimately to lead them out OF
the wilderness Of repeated defeats If
any man can within this generation,
Should Mr. Bryan be nominated and
elected, on the other hand, 1t would
be Johnson who would necessarily be-
come the star OF the presidents cabi-
net,
Under these circumstances 1t Is not
surprising that Governor Johnson
should have become an interesting
public figure. He is supporter OF
Mr. Bryan as party man rather thar
a supporter of his policies Less rad
ical and experimental than Mr.. Bry.

fence with 1876 minor organizations The
proposal Is to ally all these forces into
one party movement that will do away

Ing with legitimate business,
Just what political party the business

They believe in something much more

oned with in the coming campaign, just
as the merchants had to be In the Nc
| Kinley- Bryan campaign Of 1896, who
felt perfectly free to advertise their
sentiments with transparencies and
banners everywhere.
II is. OF course, not to be expected
that the movement will put its own
candidate in the field. Instead It will
limit its activities to impresslng on all
parties tho great necessity that all can
didates should be Of sound business
principles, II business prosperity Is to
be permanently with us. 1t can Inn

need there Is for caution on his part

A NEW POLITICAL FIGURE.

The popular applause which follows
the appearance In public OF Governor
John A. Johnson of Minnesota attests
to the susceptibility Of the American
people for new political idols to wor-
ship This time II would appear that
popular idol has appeared who pos
sesses the ability to improve constant
ly upon his political bank account
During the past week at Washington
where all the presidential candidates
but Mr.. Taft were on public parade, so
to speak, Governor Johnson went
through the ordeal of close inspec-
ton with definite amount of success.
He was pronounced by the critical
politicians VI the capital city as Of
presidential size.
Until three years ago Governor
Johnson was the editor of an obscure
newspaper IN the state of Minnesota.
He owed his nomination for governor
and his election to his forceful pro-
test against the election Of railroad
representative to that high office.
Thousands Of republicans focked to
his standard and thereby placed him
in the most conspicuous way before
the country as young man who had
wrested the govcrnorship from q re-
publican stronghold. SO ably and
tactfully has he administered the du-
ties of the Office that it Is admitted
that should he run again this fall he
will be elected, though the republican
candidate for president will carry the
