A GREAT AND A GOOD
MAN

Governor John A. Johnson is dead.
He was thrice elected governor Of Min
nesOta and had served and was serving
his state and people with ability and
faithfulness. From poverty he had
risen to the highest position within the
gift Of the people Of his native state.
The bonors bestowed upon him were
rightly bestowed. At the age Of thir-
teen years he manfully took upon him
self the task Of supporting his widowed
mother He overcame hardships and
conqured in life's battle. He studied
books; but it is said Of him, that more
than all, he studied men. He served
two terms in the upper branch Of the
Minnesota legislature before his election
as governor. AS state senator and as
governor, his was a high career. Had
he lived there is a strong probability
that he would have been the Democratic
nominee for President in 1912. The
people Of the nation, without regard to
party, mourn his death, because Of his
devotion to duty and the services which
he rendered the people Of his state in
bringing about reforms in the affairs OF
government.

1t is we'll known fact that yields on

Patriotism of Peace

M. E. church, the closing number
being a lecture by Ex-Gov. ]. F.
Hanly, of Indiana, on the above
named subject. Those who missed
the lecture, and they were few,
missed the treat of the season. Mr..
Hanley is an orator in class with
the very best of the country. Clear
and logical in his thinking, easy,
ready and forceful in his speech, he
held the closest attention of his
audience for an hour and forty
minutes. He showed that there is a
patriotism of war, worthy patri-
otism, but also patriotism of peace,
even more worthy. He linked to-
gether the names of Washington,
Marshall, Webster and Lincoln as
those who made this nation of
freemen, and called for men who
are ready to-day in time of peace to
defend the nation from the triple
danger, Greed, Avarice, and Lust
for Gain. The lecture was fitting
climax to most successful season.

Tante aus der PrOvinz

The German sketch, "Tante aus

German class in the school as sembly
room last Saturday evening proved
a complete success.
The students were exceptionally
entertaining in acting their parts
and spoke their German lines with
the ease and fuency of professionals.
Miss Cora Bulman, as Frau
Schwindell" delighted the audience
with her realistic depletion of a
German matron laboring under the
responsibility of the disposition of
her five manageable daughters.
Miss Ethel Houston, as Justine"
the prina donna, opened the play
with pleasing German solo, Miss
Sophy Shultes, as Euphrosine," "
pianist, playing the accompaniment.
Miss Alice Clark as Frau Werner"
the aunt whom the Schwindels were
attempting to impress favorably on
account of her eligible son and heir,
acted her part in splendid form.
Miss Margaret Spencer, as Ernest
ine," artist; Miss Svea Grendahl,
as Irene" authoress; Miss Marie
RICHTER as "Friderika," student;
Miss Lois Beddall as Elsa" the
governess, who finally is the only
one to win the approval of Frau
Werner" and Dorothy Rogers as
"Karoline," the cook, all performed
their parts exceptionally we'll.
The success Of the entertainment
and the proficiency of the students
in he German language is due to
the excellent training Of Miss Stein
fort, German teacher at the Normal.
