John A. Johnson's Fame From an
UnrepOrted Speech at Washington

men who heard 1t daily In house and
senate until they were sick of It. 1t
was the most trying audience, the
most cynical and slxeptical audience
that q man could have addressed.
It Is wholly within bounds to saw
that no such hit was ever made before
that audience which Is pretty much
the same from year TO year-as John
A. johnson made that night.
His human enjoyment of the hit he
was making and the surprise he was
creating was perfectly obvious In mis-
face and manner as he went on. He
was facing such an audience as, four
years before, the obscure country edi-
tor in Minnesota could never have ex-
pected to confront-an audience that
Is given TO few men to confront: an
audience made UP OF the nations
leaders In every walk of life. and an
audience which takes no interest In
oratory, even good oratory-and he
was conquering It. establishing his
dominion over 1t. and raising that do
minion higher with every sentence.
The matter OF that speech has es-
capped from the mind of the writer.
He recalls one occasion when johnson.
In the midst Of keen, clever euIogy
OF Minnesota, enumerated the pro-
ducts In which she excelled every
other state, and concluded, with a
humorous glance at vice President
Fatrbanxs:
"And her production OF artificial ice
exceeds even that of Indiana
A witticisn which brought the vice
president, chucl1ling, to his feet. while
everybody else reared and stamped.
But jokes and sarcasms inevitably
lirger longer in the memory than the
more serious matter of speech. To
sum 1t up, 1t was a fresh, vigorous,
direct, typically western, and vet
broadly national review OF the polfti-
cal life of the time. The enthusiasm
Of his auditors mounted every min
ute. His delivery was appropriate to
the matter--a slashing. easy running
delivery, without a suspicion of DEM
agogy on the one hand or pomposity
on the other. 1t was like q western
breeze rolling over the jaded east.
Cannon Began II.
As the governor finished and sat
down there was a scene such as sell
iron club. Speaker Cannon began 1t.
He leaped up from mis- place and dart
ed around to Johnson's table to grasp
his hand in both of his. Hardly a Sec
ond behind him came Senator Foraker
and then Secretary Root, and after
them there piled up q mass Of states
men, business men, newspaper men,
lawyers, and judges, all excited and
delighted, all falling over themselves
to scramble for Johnson's hand
Among the guests were many men
who were emphatically hoping for
some not too attractive candidate
against Bryan. They had not hoped
for q real leader; they had hoped only
for a respectable name They went |
away from that dining haN filled with |
real enthusiasm for the first time.
The name, the respectable Scandina-
Wan, had turned out to be 9. man.

RELIGIOUS PROGRESS.

/ DIR. Robert Hume of Ahmednager,
India, one Of the foremost living mis-
sionaries, has issued a pamphlet set
ting forth the principal results of mis-
sions In India. These he notes as the
practical abolition Of idolatry among
the classes of Hindoos, and their adop-
ton of the main principal OF christian
ity, the new interest in the neglected
Glasses and interest in humanitarian
work among the lepers, the blind and
the similarly afflicted, and great change
In the status Of woman In India as in
non-christian lands generally, the re-
suit of missions is not to be estimated
by counting the heads OF protested
converts, but in deep social changes,
in higher moral standards and spirit
ual appropriations. Although other
forces cooperate with missions to pro-
duce such results, it is universally adj
mitted among the best informed resi-
dents from western lands and by the
leading natives that the chief agency
lis christian missions, and that without
this influence the others would be
largely imperative.
