Reflections on the Life
OF John Johnson.

When left an orphan in st. Peter,
Minnesota. at the age Of thirteen. with
mother to support, John Johnson
entered upon the struggle of Iife-a
child pitted against the world. Eveu
then he displayed the indomitable
courage which was always his TO a
conspicuous degree and faithfully tie
voted his immature brain and heart
and muscle to the maintenance Of a
home.
But he failed not during his leisure
hours to read good books; to COM
mune with the great minds which
have stamped themselves upon the
scroll OF time for the guidance, 9difi-
cation and uplifting of all who VIII
seek their counsel and obey their
mandates. One can see the ambitious
child, the blacksmith's son forged of
the strongest metal earth and heaven
can provide, resting not after the toll

has been ever thus:
The heights by great men reached
and kept,
Were not attained by sudden flight;
But they. while their companions
slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
And he was a keen student OF con-

crete man, man that walks through
the streets, Disgusting his inner 7elf-
his hopes, desires, designs, but whose
inner soul may be penetrated by the
keen eye Of genius and forever after
own a master. For Johnson knew
human nature. GuiIeless himself and
filled to OVERLOOKING with a generous
federation and love. he yet possessed
the wisdom of the serpent though
harnessed with the harmless dove.
That this great leader, this demo-
crat among democrats should have
been called from the scene of his past
victories and promises of greater
triumphs yet to come at an age when
a man is ripe in experience yet IN
marred by age is indeed lamentabIe
and full Of sorrow. Though a demo-
crat Of the most advanced school of
the northwest, he yet held the conf
dence of the republicans of his state
many of whom thrice combined with
the voters OF his own party to elect
him governor. And it was, doubtless,
the very righteousness Of his democ-
raey, the allegiance Of self aggrandize-
ment in his heart to an honest al
truism that placed the interests Of the
people before everything else, which
| compelled this support from nominal
political opponents.
Yet, despite his training in this
western school Of craftsmanship which
is educative largely along lines dis

south, Johnson had fully grasped

A Future Write Up.

Here is the way the papers will
write up weddings ten years hence:
The bride looked very well in a
travelling dress, but all eyes were Cen
tered upon the groom. He wore a
dark suit that fitted his form per-
fectly and in his dainty gloved hands
he carried a small rose. His curly
hair was beautifully done, and a deli
cate odor of hair oil Of the best
quality fioated down the aisle as he
passed. The young people will miss
him now that he is married He Is
loved by ali for his many accom-
plishments, his tender grace and his
winning ways. The bride commands
a good salary as bookkeeper and the
groom will miss none of the Injuries
to which he has been accustomed. A
crowd OF pretty men saw him off at
the depot--Uniontown (Ala) Cane

There's No Comparison.

The Jasper News asks: why not

why not make bacon to buy cotton
with? Try it and see how it works.
And that reminds us that one day
last week we noticed a farmer of this
county leaving town with a canvas

sugar cured ham ever put out OF the
factory OF any packer could compare

the Importance Of the two great

the preservation of the rights of the
states and the limitation of a tauE
to purposes of revenue, as opposed to
the protective theory. Anyone read
ing his notable speeches made during
the spring and early summer Of 1903
could not have failed to note this with
admiration and with no small meas
ure of surprise. But he had read the
thoughts of the founders Of the gov
ernment-had read them, understood
them and pinned his faith to them.
He blended the old with the new and
made them harmonic completely and
beautifully.
1t is a sad day for America when
such men are snatched away In the
midst of a patriotic and useful career.
The nation may well form a vast pro-
cession in spirit and stand beside tie
grave where all that is mortal of this
true statesman will be inferred today;
for John Johnson was a courageous
soul to teach us strength, a courteous
gentleman to teach US kindness to AL,
a true American to teach US patriot
ism, a righteous man to guide our
footsteps toward the Elysian fields.

It is probable that the law be will de-
clared unconstitutional on the grounds
that the Indians are wards of the govern

wardens have declared that they would
not arrest the Indians for hunting and
fishing without II license, for they are
entitled to roam at will over the domain
they were the sole inhabitants ut one
time. Many of the Indians have no
means with which to exc out their exis-
fence and derive the necessities of life
from the streams of the state. They
are poverty stricken to the extreme
and if forced to pay an unjust license
would suffer Il hardship.
While we do not think the provision
relating to the exemption of the Indians
from paying the license was omitted by
the Legislature Intentionally. we suggest
that every justice who has an Indian
brought mp before him for fishing or
hunting without complying with the
the law. promptly discharge the
defendant. Tonupah Bonanza
