MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1S.-Pres-
ident Taft came to the twin cities of
Minnesota today with the shadow of
death hanging over Governor John
son, and received a cordial but not
demonstrative welcome. The crit
ical illness of the governor, who is
probably the most popular execu-
tive Minnesota has ever known, en-
tered deeply into the spirit OF
day, while dreaded eventualities
threatened for time during the
morning, and seriously curtailed the
programme for the entertainment,
both here and at st. Paul.
The president was deeply affected
soon after his arrival to receive a
personal message from the COVER
nor. His reply was filled with ex-
pressions of sympathy, and a fer
vent hope for speedy recovery.
In speech in the auditorium at
st. Paul the president called out
prolonged cheering when he de-
clared of Governor Johnson: 81

The intimation that Canada and Australia

which we have already referred, in contributing
TO the increase Of the British navy Is quite
plausible and is suggestive OF some interesting
possibilities. OF the ability of the colonies to
fulfil the plan proposed there can be no doubt

without difficulty provide ten or twelve Dread
noughts, fully equipped Nor is their willing
ness much more in doubt than their ability. 1t
is well remembered that in the Boer war the
three great colonies contributed troops to the
British army, and there is no doubt that they
would do it again, and that the Beers them
selves would now do so if there were need The
spontaneous giving of tariff favOrs also, even
when the United Kingdom refused to reciprocate
in any way. indicates the disposition of the
colonies to aid and sustain the mother country
The chief question, then, is rather what would
be the British attitude toward such proposal
We have recalled the refusal of the United
Kingdom to grant tariff favors in return for
those proffered by the colonies. But that was
of course because the government now in office
AT Westminster is committed TO Cobdenism. If
n tariff reform government were in office such
reciprocity with the colonies would doubtless be
of the government TO accept military aid from
the colonies. nor do we imagine that there would

political complexion of the government. Indeed
