MORE POWER TO JOHNSON.

Merits.

Hon. John A. johnson has risen
from the ranks on his merits. He has
won fair degree of material prosper
ity, not by the reckless arts of dema.
gogue, but by the constructive work OF
a citizen who grows up in and with
his country.
He has political power shecause he
has deserved public confds ee. How
ever any of us may disagree With some
of his political ideas, he is recognized
by all who have taken the trouble to
arn anything about him as a man of
Ind and sincere character.
He is self-made man who Is well
m ie-who has done a good job in
the making of himself AS to his
general attitude toward the questions
of the day, it is enough to say that
he is not a man who believes in burn
ing the barn to kill the rats.
He is exactly the kind of man that

No Pockets in His Garments.

The story of "A Man Without q
Country" is familiar to almost every
schoolboy, yet in many ways an
idiosyncrasy Of an employee of the gov.
eminent printing Office at Washington
takes the cake" when considering tho
fixed habits of the male gender. The
popularity of this man-and he is old
enough to be grandfather-is that he
has not had pocket in any of his gar.
ments for 20 years And thereby
hangs tale:
Twenty years ago young man was
wearing an expensive overcoat for the
first time ON the streets Of Kansas
City. He was also smoking a pipe.
Invited into friends house, the pipe
disappeared into pocket of the over.

coat was a smoldering ruin. The young
man swore a fearful oath that thence
forth he would not have pocket in
his garments, and he has kept his VOW
Verging into old ages yet his tailor is
instructed not to place pocket in

Congressional Bell Signals.

On the floor of the house the door
keeper has his desk and it is here that
the bells are struck that, give notice
of the needs of congress. One bell
calls for tellers, when the house is II
committee Of the whole; two bells
indicate call for yea and nay; three,
declare recess; with four bells the
red light over the door goes out; five
bells mean "call of the house" under
which the sergeant-at-arms is sup
posed to summarily arrest any mem
Der on sight and bring him in, wheth-
er on foot or horseback; any member
who is not present at call of the
house is subjected to a severe repri-
mand.
Looking down the corridor, the
going out of the red light gives curl
,ous suggestion of the tail end of a
passenger train dashing through a
tunnel. While the red light burns
bright and clear 1t means that con
gress is under way, but when the
light winks and goes out, then the
visitors understand that the wheels OF
legislation have ceased to revolve.-.

The governors part In the insurance
reforms OF recent years is too well
known to require attention here, be-
yond allusion to the fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt publicly recognized
him as the leader in the nationwide
campaign for reformation of the great
insurance companies.
Gov. Johnson Is a man of strict ad-
herence to political principle, but he
does not believe In confusing every
passing fancy or fad with political
principle. He believes that there are
few basic political ideas which char
acterize Democracy. He is not a man
who was a Republican yesterday,
Democrat to-day and an Independent
tomorrow. Throughout his career he
has been Democrat.
Although there can be no question
that Gov. johnson is a believer in
sweeping tariff reforms, and believer
In the necessity for vigorous leglsla-
tion to meet certain modern industrial
conditions, he has such an abundance
OF common sense, so much intellectual
balance, and Is so tactful in his meth
DDS that he achieves his ends without
that excessive friction and violent dis
turbance that has been characteristic
of some Of our recent reformers. Gov.
Johnson is a big man. He is not we'd
ded to particular political fad. He IL
In craftsmanship something of an OPP
portunitist. Although guided by some
big principles, he prefers to decide
questions as they come up on their
individual presentation.
AS a Democratic candidate he is
strong, because between his genuine
devotion to reform and his careful and
effective methods of getting reforms,
he should have no difficulty In uniting
In his support both the conservative
and radical elements In his party. This
should insure him the normal Demo-
cratic strength, carrying with 1t, of
course. the solid south and such states
as New York and New Jersey. In ad.
dition. Gov. Johnson will draw an i'm.
mense Republican vote from Scandi-
navian-American citizens, as well as
other classes, in such states as iii.
nois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota. Montana, Nebraska and
Washington. There is no question
that he could carry Minnesota and the
two Dakotas, Wisconsin and Illinois.

Gently as he seated himself in COM

Mr.. Ryan said that the jotting down
of odd and unusual names he beheld
on signs had become quite fad with
him.
Frequently" he continued, "the
names on the doors of business places
are exceedingly appropriate, and then.
again, they are quite the reverse. For
instance, have often noticed on my
way to the capitol the sign of to-
bacconist. 1t is Plugge. Another
speaking sign is that Of Needle, a

gagged in the business Of plumbing.

ness to attend to the wants of their

"Barnwell Robinson Is veterinary
surgeon, and his name should appeal
to the owners of live stock. There is

minds me of similar place in my
town of Buffalo kept by German
named Sauerwein! But l never could
understand why two Of my constitu-
ents at home, Drinkwine and Mumm,
by name, formed a partnership and
opened a tonsorial parlor instead of a
sample room. Overturf would seem
to be very appropriate name for q
real estate dealer, and a gentleman
of that name in Buffalo appears to be
doing a thriving business in that line.

VAST RESPONSIBILITIES.

We are confronted by vast opportu.
mites and responsibilities, and with

and decent with our sister country
across the boundary, the trade of Can
ada would have been ours. and com.
mercially II not politically the two
countries would have been one. We
are told 1t is now too late. Canada
has grown away from us, instead Of
toward us. A false policy has robbed
us Of our own. Congressman elect

procity with Canada have gone To
