The last notable utterance of Gov
ernor Johnson was an appeal for The
west to stand together and look out
Tor its own interests. President Taft
regarded this as of sufficient import

death.
Governor Johnson was born at St.

Some pessimists say that oppor-
tunity for the American boy has pass
ed. but the career of the late John A
Johnson, governor of Minnesota, does
not prove it. When Johnson was nom
mated for governor in 1904 to lead a
forlorn hope. as everybody supposed
his political opponents published
broadcast the statement that his father
had died drunkard in poorhouse
and that his mother had taken in
and proved true, but it did not have
the effect that its circulators had
hoped.
The American manhood of Mime

hood that had elected the railsplitter

He was elected, although the remain
der of his ticket was showed under by
nearly 10000 majority. Not only
this, but he was elected twice after
ward, the only Democrat chosen in his
strongly Republican state.
1t was later shown that the elder
Johnson was suffering from alcoholic
dementia and that on the request OF
village authorities he was admitted 10
the poor farm where he could be kept
away from liquor. The father lived at
this place from the early seventies un
til 1889. during which year he died.
In 1900 Johnson was one of the most
prominent candidates for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination and
was second only to Bryan.

When he was first apprenticcd to the
printer he slept in the rear of the
shop. His employer WAS kind hearted.
but thrift often got the better of him.
So. seeing that his kerosene bill was
about doubled with the advent of
young Johnson. he called the boy %

ut night for reading purposes. John
son solved the problem by buying a
supply of candles. This went we'll un-
til one night he went TO sleep and left
the candle burning. \ small fire was
the result. When the man asked him
the cause of the fire he confessed the
entire affair and further added that he
would gladly work and pay for the
damage If he might be permitted TO
still burn candles so he might read at

IGNORE
SHIPPERS APPEALS
Companies Are Now ExaCting
the 10 Per Cent Increase
in Rates

The shippers of California have ap
pealed TO the railroads in vain. Their
protests remain unanswered
The increase of 10 per cent in trans
continental freight rates went into ef-
feet yesterday. Every shipper and re-
ceiver of merchandise in California is
now, paying an additional tax on his
supplies 1t has been estimated that
the cost to California will reach
s10.000,O00 a year
notwithstanding their failure to Sc
cure anything more than common
courtesy from the railroad officials, the
members of the executive committee
have determined to fight the increase
to the end. The campaign will be con-
tinued by carrying the fight direct to
the interstate commerce commission.
The committee realizes that silence
on the part Of the transportation COM
panies means that war has been de-
clared and that the members will have
TO defend their protests by legal steps.
The challenge has been accepted. The
affected interests of the state are
unit in their support of the stand taken
by the executive committee.
The meetings held throughout the
state December 80 indicated that the
people have spoken in no uncertain
terms. Reports are still being received
from the various meetings. They all
indicate the feelings of the people of
California.
Three other steps besides an appeal
to the interstate commerce commission
are proposed and will probably be
taken. They are: Action by the state
Legislature; an appeal to congress-; the
establishment of an independent steam
ship line between San Francisco and
the isthmus of Panama.
The executive committee has re-.
quested that every merchant keep a
strict account of his Increased freight
bills. so that it can be used as evidence
later on and so that it will assist him
in securing reparation in case the de-
cision of the interstate commerce COM
mission is favorable.
