Different Opinions.


The anarchist says the best thing
eor 9ociety is no government at all.
The lawless say the best government
lis one which you can obey or siolate
just as may best suit you. The selfish
man says government is best when he
gets most out OF it, regardless OF how
1t affects his neighbms and fellow
citizens. The extremist says govern
ment cannot be good unless you forget
and abandon all other things and EN-
ploy all your time, energy and ability
in trying to promulgate some fad or
fancy, which. Ii success ully done
might result In business stagnation or
unsettle and disturb we'll established
law, laws chat may have, proved their
wisdom and beneficense by a decade
or more OF trial.
We are toll on the one hand that
the states have delegated too much
authority the national government
and on the other that If the federal
authority could be extended along GER
tain lines 1t would be better for both
the state and the, nation.
There must be organized govern
ment, otherwise society would be in a
state of confusion and anarchy. Gov
eminent is the machinery invoked and
devised by man for his benefit and
protection. Government was made for
the people and not the people for the
government. Good government in
spires confidence encourages bust
ness, makes for tie contentment and
Happiness of the people and promotes
prosperity. Good government insures
the protection of life. liberty and
property the right to acquire and hold
property and enjoy the fruits OF ones
Industry, labor and thrift. Good gov
eminent means the happiness, prosper
ity, success and welfare Of the people.
How to bring about goo5 govern
ment should be the aim Oh the highest
craftsmanship. 1t is a problem OF
the centuries, The evolution Of secie-
Ity works continually towards good
government. Man surrenders some OF
his natural rights that he may secure
through government better protection
and larger rights.
The chief aim OF good government
should be to secure to the individual
the largest measure OF liberty and pro.
lection and the enjoyment OF the
fruits Of his labor.

From a newspaper standpoint

risked their lives in a vain search
for the topmost spot of the earth.
Many returned to acknowledge
their defeat, while others were
: never again heard from. Within
: the last fifty years several ex-
: petitions, equipped with every
means thought necessary for
successful journey, failed to reach
the coveted point. and the average
reader, with only passing in
terest in the search, had come to
look for nothing but failure from
these expeditions.
When. however. DIR. Cook an
nounced in a. brief dispatch from
the Shetland islands, that he had
located. the slong-sought North
Pole the world began to sit up and
take notice.
Notwithstanding the contro-
versy between DR.. Cook and Com

the pole first, the world is keenly
(" interested in DIR. Cooks official
story of his trip and its history
making end. The readers Of the

Rochester, Minn., Sept. 20.-while
Governor johnson is somewhat better

who called on him early today in st.
Mary's hospital, the doctors still con-
slider him In a grave state. the dan
ger period not having been passed.
DR.. Charles F. McNevin issued the
following bulletin on Governor john
sons condition at $3.50 o'clock this
morning:
THE governors pulse is 102s
temperature. 99.S; respiration, 80.
He Is little restless but not SO
much as yesterday or last night.
He Is a little weaker but is not
suffering much pain now. He has

es will grow better"
DR.. McNevin explained that Nv
solid food" he meant some weak tea.
The high respiration of this morning.
the doctor explained Is due to q dis
tension caused by gas.
1t Is, OF course, a symptom that
causes some anxiety but is not nee
essarily nervous breakdown, but the
condition is causing the governors
friends much worry.
Governor johnson was given LIQUID
nourishment twice this forenoon.
three ounces of strained chicken
broth at a time. which he success
fully retained on his stomach. DR..
Mayo dressed the wound at noon and
reported that he found it in good con-
dition. The governor has been suf-
fering no pain since the 10:3O q. m.
bulletin was issued and has had about
an hours sleep. DR.. Mayo in the bull
letin issued at 1880 said:
Governor Johnson has passed
the full five day hospital crisis
but his condition is yet critical
and l cannot now say that his
chances are better than even. His
weakness is progressive. His
vitality is keeping up fairly we'll
however. There are no indica-
tions of complications. The gov
ernor's weak and general condi-
ton does not prompt us to say
that he has passed the critical
period. We cannot say this until
we know the effect of the nourish-
ment he has taken. 1t may not
agree with him."
