SPENDING STATE MONEY.
How II Should Be Done as Viewed by
Governor Johnson.

How II Should Be Done as Viewed by
Governor Johnson.
AS an example of Governor John
sons neutrality-suspicious. an incident
may be cited that recently occurred at
the capitol A commission had been
appointed to select and present silver
service for the battleship Minnesota as
a gift from the state. The legislature
appropriated $4,000 for the purpose.
Those who have been concerned In
similar undertakings Will admit that
usually when appropriations Of this
sort are made part of the money is ex-
pended for the silverware and the re-
mainder for the junket say $1,000 for
the gift and the balance of the $4,000
for champagne. railroad fares, hotel
bills and expenses of those concerned.
When the commissioners met for the
first time they Immediately agreed that
not one dollar of the states money
should be expended for expense, but
that every cent of the appropriation
should go into the gift. The commits
sioners also decided that should 1t be
necessary for them to attend the formal
presentation, they would consider 1t
their duty to pay their own hotel bills
and travelling expenses.
Just then Governor Johnson came
into the room. The commissioners told
him of their agreement. subject, OF
course. to his approval. The governor
replied in effect: Gentlemen, I quite
approve your ideas, but ! would also
like to call your attention to another
condition. The legislature has given
us $4,000 for this purpose. While
the bill was being considered I talked
with several legislators opposed to It.
They thought $4,000 was a large
amount to spend for silverware. told
them l did not know about this, but
that Minnesota should neither be
wasteful nor shabby. and l promised
them that should the bill pass I would
see that no more Of the appropriation
was expended than was necessary to
do the proper thing They voted for
the bill, and II passed. Now, I would
propose that we go ahead and get
suitable service for the battleship; that
we do the proper thing In the right
way. Let the incident be a credit to
the state, by all means, but when this
is done, and well done, turn the re-
mainder Of The appropriation back into
the state treasury. Do not think that
you are obliged to spend $4,000 be-
cause that Is the amount appropriated"

LEADER IN INSURANCE REFORM
Whole Country Benefited by Action of
Governor johnson.

Governor johnson.
Having had some valuable experience
In recognizing powerful Minnesota
insurance company, Governor Johnson
was well prepared to deal with the
emergency which arose when the cor
ruption and extravaganza of the man
agement of the great national life in
surance companies were revealed In
1905. In November of that year he
wrote letter to President Roosevelt
which placed him In the front rank OF
national leaders. In this letter the gov
ernor suggested a conference OF gov
errors and attorneys general to be
called by the president at Chicago
The conference was held In the follow
ing February, and Governor Johnson,
as its chairman and dominant figure,
named the famous committee of if
teen" whose recommendations were
embodied in the law in Minnesota and
In about 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 Governor
Johnson In Minnesota, the fact remains
that he has done what he set out to do
and secured the enactment of popular
and benefcent 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, it be-
comes of particular significance that
one OF the earliest acts OF Governor
Johnson's career as a member of the
Minnesota legislature was the intro
ductlon of memorial to congress to
extend the powers of the interstate
COP nerce commission, a memorial
which antedated the extension of those
powers by some four years.

To give positive testimony in every

unique in the annals of medicine.

Husband suffered from kidney trouble
for several years and the doctoring
that he did failed TO give him the
desired relief, however, when he used
Doan's Kidney Pills, which he pro-
cured at COnnell Broth ers, drug store
which | think was in the year of 1901.
he obtained the much need relief,
and has since this occurrence always
given Doan's Kidney Pills a hearty
endorsement. He was often taken
with sharp twinges in his back, and
his suffering from this trouble was
hard to endure, but the benefit that
he received from the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills has been permanent.

FIRE IN DRUG STORE

 Partially Insured.

Litchfield, June S.-The drug store of Pratt & Granniss on North street, just north of the county jail, was yis- ited by a bad fire at half past nine this morning, and before it was under control the place was thoroughly cleaned out. What was not burned was damaged and spoiled by smoke and water. The loss will be about $S,0O0, partially covered by insur- ance. The fire was started by the explosion of a gas stove which was In the rear of the store. Postmaster Pratt, the senior member of the firm, said this morning that several hun dred dollars had just been expended in fitting up and redecorating the store in preparation for the summer trade, which is always very large, as the place is headquarters for the business of Litchfield's summer coll ony. The place will be put in shape at once as soon as the insurance can be adjusted. Fred Granniss, the jun for member of the firm, also conducts an automobile garage which is pat ronized by Waterbury people. This is the second fire Postmaster Pratt has had in about year. The last one being in his buildings on West street.
