THINGS LOOK DIFFERENT.
Washington Begins to See the Prob ability of Gov. Jofnson's
 Nomination.

Washin9tou. D. C--Well informed political observers who survey the conntry from Washington have noted q wonderful change in the campaign for the Democratic nomination at Den yer within the last week. No so very long ago it was taken for granted that Col. Bryan would be nominated with practically no day it is a question whether ne will be nomin- atod al all. Gov. Johnson of Mime sota has loomcd Hp as the man be- tween whom and Col. Bryan the con- vantion at Denver will have to choose Gray of Dcla Ware. GlneN of Nassachu- sets, and Harmon of Ohio, are no longer considered in the running, h. decd, the suddcnness in which the Minnesota man has come t3 he font is almost dramatic.
 Reports ponrins into Washing gton from all parts of the country indi- cate that the Johnson men have made wonderful progress, largely without noise or publicity. in sections Of the country where they were not supposed 70 be at work al all.
 As the situation stands 10 day. prac- tically all of the New England, all of the eastern states and q large portion Of the southern states will send John son. or what is the same thing, prac- tically uninstructed delegates to Den yer Friends of Col. Bryan Were some what perturbed over reports drifting into Washington regarding such states as Utah, Colorado. Oregon, Montana Washington, Michigan, and Kentucky Reports are also coming in that a tremendous Johnson senti- nent is appearing i'll Missouri, and a large number of uninStrUctcd, or John son, delegates being sent up 10 the Illinois state convention. revealing an uncN Foated Johnson strength under meath the surface. All political ob- servers in Washington are agreed that thefe Will be lively contest for the nomifiatjon at Denver.
 II is even claimed that two-thirds of the delegates to the convention will i be unpledgod and such Democrats as Representative John Sharp Williams, l Boufne Cochraue Senator Culberson and Senator Daniels. declare that the ! Denver convention will be q deiber- ative body, which, before it nomin- ates. will consider the qualifications ! of the aspirants and their prospects of winning.
 { There is a feeling here that John ] son as a poor boy and a self-madc man with romantic and even tragic life history, coming from an early life as
 obscure and painful as Iincoln's, and now risen to state power and national fame-would make a candidate oi such espect-commanding, vote-gettin2
 power that under his leadership the
 Democracy would have splendid l chance of winning.

A GREAT DEMOCRATIC GOV-
 ERNOR

Is the title of an exceptionally inter- esting and concise study of Gov. John X. Johnson of Minnesota in The Worlds Work for April. Mr. Winthrop F. Chamberlain, the author, sums up somewhat as follows: Gov. Johnson has often been compared with Lin coin, whom he resembles ill physical makeup as well as in the success with which he has overcome un- toward circumstances and has em' braced opportunity as it arose. But his political career thus far recalls rath- CT that of Grover Cleveland up to the time of his triumphant election as gov ernor of New York. Like Cleveland, he was the instrument used by the peo- yle of great state to rebuke poltical corruption. Like Cleveland, he has
 proved that the popular reliance upon
 him was we'll founded. But he pos. sesses some characteristics valuable in a public man that Cleveland lacked, such as geniality, approachability, readiness as speaker. He has the
 courage of Hughes tempered by the tact of Taft He is as convinced of the supreme necessity of law enforce ment as Roosevelt, but impulsive de- nunciation of those who do not agree
 with him would be quite foreign to
 his character. It is the charm of his
 personality that makes a friend ot every man who comes within the ra-
 dlus of his influence. Often radical : in utterance, he is usually conserv- ative in action Conservative states
 manship he has never as yet shown in great measure. yet he Is sensitive to the thoughts of the masses and knews how to give 1t efectivs ex. prsssion. :.

WHEN WEALTH GETTING
 BECOMES 4 CRlAiE

Personally would rather be able to write beck that would live a hundred years than be able to amass wealth that would enable those who inherit Il to live for generations in luxury. and yet the amassng Of wealth may be of vast industrial serv. ice to the country and to those who seek honest work and wages.
 But wealth getting becomes a crime when the man obtains it by the sale of all his finer in stincts. by the sacrifice of his character. by the violation of the nations laws and by tres. pass upon the rights of others to the pursuit of liberty and happi- ness. It is this spirit and not the thing which determines the nobility of career and the de gree of success.
 The highest victories may be what the world calls failures. GOV. JOHN A. JOHNSON.
