1909 has quickened all the great
industries of Europe. When, in
1900, Count Golnch wski, Austria's
foreign minister, urged Europe to
combine against the "American in.
vasion," he had the inflow Of
American goods in mind, But the
American INVASION which confronis
Europe to day is intellectual, social
and political as well as industrial.
The prize of polar research which
was sought by several nations Of the
Old World lore before the
Declaration of American Independ-
ence was thought Of has been seized
by America, And now Europe
fears that if peary or Cook ha
discovered land in the polar regions
the stars and stripes which PearY
nailed to the pole may stay thtre
Probably it will. Al the earthquake
in Italy in the closing days of 1905
it was the United States and no
any European country which wa
on hand with relief earliest, anc
which dealt out the relief in large
measure. The food of immigration
from Europe to the Unlted States
which ceased for q year during th'
acute stage of the recent panic, ha
been resumed, and once NOR,
several countries over there arr
giving their attention to devices t,
stop this exodus to US. Thus, or
every side which Europe's scientists
statesmen and social philosopher
turn their eyes they meet America

GOV. JOHNSON DEAD.

John A. Johnson, governor OF
Minnesota, died in the hospital in
Rochester, that state, early Tuesday
morning. Mr.. johnson had endured
an operation for: complications
arising after an operation for
appendicitis. He was serving his
third term as governor of the state
and was prominent in nationa
politics. He was about Al years
old. Mr.. Johnson was surrounded
by very adverse circumstances in
his early childhood and only rose to
positions of honor and trust by
oonst mt hard work.
No man in Minnesota enjoyed
the popularity and respect of the
people of his state as did Governor
Johnson. The loss of such life is
distinct loss to the state and the
nation.

Long before show time the streets
we're lined with people. The street
parade was big and attractive. 1T

The mammoth tents OF the big
show were well filled in the afternoon.
The country people from far and near
were out In force. The crowd was
estimated at from ten TO twelve
thousand.
At night it was much smaller.
The display of animals was surely
great ard very interesting. And the
1iug performances were all tina

GOMPERS AND ITALIANS

While Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of
Labor. was investigating labor
conditions abroad a very disastrous
strike was iRaugurated and ended at
Mekees Rocks, Pa, in which eleven
lives were sacrificed and financial
loss estimated at three millions OF
dollars was incurred. AS to the
merits or demerits of this strike we
have no comment to make here.
But one thing stands out promin-
emily in the lamentable affair that
cannot be ignored. This is the fact
that most of the disturbances were
caused by the Italians and Croatians
and not by the American workmen
who joined in the strike. The
(oreign element of the workmen
hook the lead in violence and all
efforts of the company and the
4 American workmen to arrive At a
settlement of the trouble were
baked by the ignorant and vicious
foreigners.
So strained grew the relationship
between the American and foreign
strikers that the former determined
to abandon the strike and 60 back
to work. When this announcement
was made the Italians and Croatisns
declared that they would kill any
American who returned to the factory
But the Americans were not to be
baked. They gave notice that they
would return to WORK in a procession
under the protection OF the American
flag, and that anyone offering insult
10 that flag or showing violence
toward any returning workman
would be shot. This had the desired
effect and today, whether justly or
unjustly as far as the strikers are
concerned, tho trouble between the
Pressed Steel Car Company and its
men is settled.
But what of Gompers? This
leader of organized labor who is
supposed to be loyal to American
workingmen is ROW in Italy, and al
the very moment when there was
grave danger of clash between
Americans and Italians at Mckees
Rocks he was encouraging Italian
emigration 10 this country. Mr..
Gompers is trying to make it easy,
aud pleasant for the low and vicious
Italian la aborers to come to America
and enter into competition with
honest and intelligent American
labor. What Gompers seeks is
power, and still more power. All
nen of organized labor, whether
Americans or the outsceurings OF
lower Europe, apparently look alike
to him. There was something
inspiring aud splendid in the fact
that American workmen carried the
Stars aad Stripes in defiance of
Italians and Croatlans at McK:es
Rocks. 1t was significant that,
after all, the Americans were loyaI
and true TO the principles of orderly
government. But what can be said
for ths president of the American
Federation Of Labor, who is trying
to send to this csuatry more OF the
same sort Of ruffiAns who threatened
American workmen that decided
to return to work2 How long will

American workmen tolerate such
