Johnson the Feature.

ment was the appearance of John A. Johnson governor of Minnesota, and a presidential possibility. Tuesday, on which day the governor made his notable address before the Society of the Alumni drew the heav- fest attendance.
 It is the consensus of opinion that had Johnson made his visit to Alabama prior to the recent state primaries, he would have made a much better race against MT. Bryan. He made new friends wherever he went. This was especially true as concerns Tuscaloosa, for while the distinguished gentleman remained but short while in the Druid City" there are local enthusi- asts for him, whereas a day or so ago they cast a vote for the Peerless Nebraskan."
 But the visit of Johnson was not the , cause for the remarkable success of the commencement just concluded. The university was exceedingly for tunate in selecting its commencement speakers, and while Governor Johnson was unmis takably the drawing card, such brilliant men as Henry Van Dyke. Princeton professor, poet, critic and literary light, and George E. MacLean. the eloquent and learned president of the State University of Iowa, could not
 
 tention.
 Dr. Van Dyke delivered the com mencement sermon Sunday, Governor Johnson spoke before the Society of the Alumni Tuesday, and this morning President MacLean made the oration before the graduating class. Each eff fort was a masterpiece of it's class.
 Perhaps the most brilliant of the three was the sermon of Dr. Van l.s tract laden with truth and strength, and delivered within a period of 30 minutes, with all the ease and grace of an eloquent orator
 The Departing Guests.

 By tlfat time the old city will have resumed it's natural bent. Tie resi- dents will have removed the bunting with which the houses for the week were so gorgeously decorated Iie Commencement atmosphere" will be disspafed, and a great quiet and calm will descend.
 When the visitors to the 18th com mencement arrive on the scene next spring, there will be two new build ings to please lem. The foundation for the "Comer building" has already been laid. This structure will arise to the west of the university, and /ill be the home of the engineering de- partment. TO the right the Eugene A. smith" structure will soon begin it's growth. This building will be used by the geological department of the uni versity, will be the home of the Ala bama museum, vastly superior in all respects to any other in the state, and will be equipped nn such building of such n university should.

A Notable Commencement.

There has never been a more success full commencement in the history or ne university.
 There has never been a more hota- ble commencement.
 There has never been commence ment in the history of the university which brought more people to Tusca- loosa There will never be a more successful commencement until the coming of that year in which the cen tennial Is celebrated.
 The hotels of the city have been taxed to their capacity. The homes or the residents have been thrown open to attractive guests from all over the state. Men prominent in Alabama, from every county of the state, have been enthralled without the seductive influence of politis. The prettiest girl from every township in Alabama has entoyed the festivities of commence ment week, and the charming women of neigh boring states have not been lacking.
 The citizens of Tuscaloosa, as is the custom have taken holiday. me streets are thronged with people sight seeing, and enjoying themselves The commencement programme at the uni versity has been a splendid one. Ine exercises at the university have been elaborate and attractive. The soica' features of commencement were never more brilliant In the years gone.

Political Frame-ups Missing.

Unlike in other years no polltlcal schemes have been matched during thls commencement.
 The cause for this Is not that the politician has been absent, but because he has found more profitable employ ment for his leisure.
 From Governor Conner down, the en- tire official family has been on the scene While the governor chatted of the iniquity of the railroads, and the lasting hurt of predatory wealth he has not lain any sch emes for future operation. While General Brandon has been a prominent figure in commence inent exercises, as for as learned, he has pledged few votes in furtherance of his gubernatorial aspirations. While Walter Seed has been constant min yler with the throngs, it cannot be said that as result of that fact he 5 nearer the governors chair While Henry Gray was one of the merriest of commencement visitors. he has, as a result of individual inactivity, gained no adherents.
 In fact, politically, it was an off year. Tn ere was an effort to spread the rumor that John W. Abercrombie, president of the university, was seji- ing the gubernatorial nomination, but this was nipped in the bud by prompt Q6nld1 OI LHe ulltS II ofCii 'teAP pened that few inquired of Governor Conner as to the progress of his ef- forts to defeat Senator Bankhead in some future years. No one expressed himself as confident that the govern or's recent educational tour was political campaign in which he was urging his own nomination for the Sen ate, and that of John Lusk for the su- preme court; in which General Brandon furthered his scheme for the guberTl,- torial nomination. and kept Judge May field constantly before the people.
 No. As stated, this was political "off year." and while the entire body of politicians and office holders was present from the first to the last day there was little doing" True, some wag charged General Brandon with conducting a campaign for the guber- material nomination throughout the state, and while in Tuscaloosa for the probate judgeship. But this amounted to nothing.
 Locally, there is very little regret concerning the recent defeat of Sena- tor Lusk, not because of any unpopu- larity on the part of the candidate, but because he was receiving the open sup port of the state administration.
 To this support, incidentally, the low position that Senator Lusk assumed in this race is attributed
