Governor Eberhart occupies a trying
position. He succeeds loved and

parison will be made. Yet it IS pc.
culiar thing, and a striking thing,
about American institutions, that men
suddenly elevated to positions Of
power and responsibility rise to the re-

acquit themselves other than we'll. All

The memorial exercises OF yesterday
in Little Falls in honor of our late be-
loved governor, were a credit to the
spirit of appreciation of worth and
manliness which prompted them. They
were fitting in manner and expression.
The North Star state was in tears
yesterday, and the pain of the eternal
parting Will linger in all hearts for
years TO come. We are not likely in
this generation to see such a profound,
sincere and widespread manifestation
Of grief as was shown yesterday.

at st. Peter, MINI.
: ST. Paul, Sept. 22.-The death of
Governor John A. johnson has cast
deep gloom over the entire state and q
IN this city, where he was we'll known
expressions of personal sorrow were 5
heard on every hand. To the little &
group of mourners at Rochester a
sympathy of more than statewide in
terest goes out, for the dead governor
had become prominent figure in the
nations life. He was continually
growing in prominence nationally at
the time of his death and sympathy
and regret are widefelt and sincere.
After battling against death with
determined resistance for almost a
week. Governor Johnson's life had a
peaceful ending. Grouped about his
bedside when the end came were Mrs.
Johnson, Miss Sullivan, her personal
friend; the attending physician and
two nurses. The last thing Governor
Johnson did before lapsing into
comatose condition one and a half
half hours before his death was to
take his wife affectionately by the
hand and weakly whisper: & well,
Nora, made good fight but I guess
I've got to go.' Then as the last
gleam of intelligence began to flicker
he pressed her hand gently to his
cheek, parting caress as he prepared
to obey the divine will. -
Not Told Of Approaching End. g..
Governor Johnson was not notified
of his approaching death, but it was
very slowly borne to him and there
seemed tc be a mutual understanding
of the situation without word hav-
ing been said on either side, except
these addressed to Mrs. Johnson.
Abont two hours before he became
unconscious Governor Johnson said:
! II want to thank every one in this
room and especially DR.. William
MAYO, for what you have done for
me- e'.
He then added to DR.. William Mayo.
personally:
Doctor, don't think there is
single person on earth who could have
done so much for me as you hava
DONE" -, ..>.
Then the governor shook hands with
all of them. It was the final leave
taking of Minnesota's beloved gov.
ernor to his dearest personal friends
Mrs. Johnson is bearing up we'll un-
der her afuiction.
The body of Governor Johnson was
brought to st. Paul on a special train
and taken to the state capitol, where
It will lie in state. The funeral will
be held Thursday afternoon at st.
Peter and the services will be held in
the Presbyterian church. Governor
Johnson will be buried beside his
mother.

FRIDAY, SEPrEMBER "a, 1909.

MlnneSOCaS neaTC IS broken.
Her best beloved lies cold in
death. Yesterday there was con-
signed to earth the mortal re-
mains Of John Albert Johnson,
governor Of Minnesota, and the
kindly heart, the generous and
lofty soul, the great intellect, are
but an affectionate and enduring
memory.
No loss to Minnesota so great
as this, not one that is so uni
versally and deeply felt: The
career of Governor Johnson en-
phasized that Opportunity Of
which America is a symbol. His
rise above the clouds of misfor-
tune and poverty into the sum
shine Of great achievement, will
ever be an inspiring example to
his countrymen and will spur
youth on to high endeavor. The
charm of his wonderful person
atty touched all who met him,
and even those who disagreed
could not but respect and admire
him. The verdict of the people
can not be wrong. To have been
so loved and to be so mourned
proves John Albert Johnson to
have been indeed a prince of
men. -.-.-
. In the very prime Of life, Sc
cure in the hearts of his fellow
citizens, with every indication
that the sun of his political ca
reer had not reached it's meridian,
when opportunity for high SER
vice to his countrymen seemed
near and the bright past and
present were to be but the fore
runners of a golden glorious fu-
ture- the shadow of the death
angel fell upon him. Oh, the
pity of it.!
The dread news fell like a
thunderbolt Of despair on the
people of the state. Scarce can
il be realized that one so loved,
50 trusted, so willing and ready
to serve, should be no more.
The faith and courage of the
governors last days, when the
great heart rose superior to NOR
tai ills, revealed heroic traits in
his character. With so much to
live for, and yet to leave, was in
deed hard. The greatness of soul
and character which. illumined
the sick bed all now know, and
the knowledge will be a precious
heritage.
To the brave wife who so nobly
bears her awful burden of ire
parable loss, the sympathy of all
goes forth. Millions of hearts
bleed with hers. .
Goodbye, and God be with you,
John Albert Johnson. The state
you loved so we'll, and which
counted you her dearest, will
never forget you. Your story
will be among the brightest
jewels in her diadem, and in the
hearts of her people your name
and fame will rest secure for
evermOre. " s

The Sin of Omission.

The tender word forgotten,
Its the thing you've left undone,
Which gives you a bit Of heartache
At tne setting of the sun
The tender word forgotten.
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight
The stone you might have lifted
Out of brothers way.
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say
The loving touch of the hand, dear
The gentle and winsome tone,
That you had not time nor thought
for,
With. troubles enough of your own,
The little acts of kindness,
So easily out of mind;
These chances to be angels
Which every mortal finds
They come in night and silence,
Each chill, reprOachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging,
And blight has dropped on faith.
For life is ali too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great
To suffer our slow compassion.
That tarries until too late.
And it's net the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Objects to Beggars on Streets.

ODJectS 10 DeS&arS on streets.
To The Herald:
The general sentiment of our citi-
Izenship is that we would much prefer
that these poor beggars who roam
especially along the walk leading to
the ferry, be required to keep of
the streets. If these people are
American citizens and their homes
are here in Brownsville, and have not
drifted in from some other county,
then we think they should be cared
for as wards of Cameron County and
it is thought to be the duty of our
county and city officials to look the
matter up.
1t strikes the writer that a goodly
number of these street beggars are
not properly Brownsville citizens. 1t
seems they have come here on ac-
count of this being a central point of
visitors from the north. We often
hear it said they are very distasteful
to the new people who come in hire,
and when looking the matter over
the visitors say, a very large per cent.
of these people, down in the richest
country on earth, seem to be depend
ent upon others for a mere existence.
Trusting some official who is in
position to correct the annoyance will
take the matter up and see if the mat
ter can be remedied, we are for a
more attractive appearance of our
streets READER.
