Gov. John A. johnson.

| The expressions Of regret at his death
show that Gov. johnson Of Minnesots
had made a profound impression on thu
country. They come from all sectionl
and from men and newspapers Of al
parties, and are couched in terms o,
warm appreciation of both his abilities
| and his character. He stands out In al
| the appraisements made as an unusua
man. who was worthy Of and equal te
all Of his opportunities. and who did his
duty as man. as citizen and as Official in
| a way to deserve the confidence he In
spired and the admiration he enjoyed.
We have in this mans life and achieve.
ments another illustration, and very
inspiring one. Of the reward of merit and
high and steady purpose under our In
stitutions. His extraction was not only
humble. but burdened with failure. HIS
fathers household was under the shadow
Of his fathers thriftlessness and intem.
perance. This obliged him to become q
breadwinner when but lad. and de-
prived him practically of all schooling.
He had to teach himself. and to make his
way without money or influential connec-
lions.
Fortunately, his mother was a woman
Of superior nature, and, ~ many another
man of success has done. he drew from
her the qualities that gave him useful
ness and distinction. She gave herself
as he did under her inspiration, to the
small, and even mental, employment
forced by poverty and adversely. and took
In washing to help provide for her house
hold.
This fne chapter might have remained
buried. as many another Of like characte,
has done. except for the folly of the sons
political opponents committed in hls first
race for governor. They considered thai
the story would cheaper him In the public
estimation, and 30 put It into circulation
To the glory Of the people Of Minnesota
It had the very opposite effect, and con.
tributed materially to the success Of ths
candidate thus attacked. Tho voters
were the prouder Of him for the dis.
closure.
1t IL the belief Of some prominent demo-
Gratis that had the johnson boom 70,
President been launched earlier. the gov.
ernor would have led his party last year
and the same men hold that had he
lived he would have led his party In 1912
It is q matter Of opinion. but this opinion
is not persuasive. From the day OF
Judge Parker's defeat, in 1904, Mr.. Bryan
had the democratic situation in his hands
1t was never possible to wrest control
from him. And 1912 would have found
the johnson forces under the ban of the
Bryan forces: and the leader then, II |,
10 not Mr.. Bryan again. must have Mr.
Bryan's unequivocal Endorsement.
But had he lived Gov Johnson would
have continued to be Z most attractive
figure in the political world, and demo.
cratic success At the polls would prob.
ably have made him a national adviser IN
q cabinet Office.

A Crisis in Affairs.

e
There's a time Of subtle sorrow for the

That the poets somehow never paused

A mist Of melancholy gathers o'ss thil

And the shadow Of Z sob 10 In your
throat
When fortune. always tickle. has been
moro than ever rude,
And the study Of your wardrobe brings
dismay,
AS you take an inventory and reluctantly
conclude
You must wear your Sunday clothes
for every day.
Oh. the latter past all trimming and the
shine that won't come on
And the break that now dedes the
needles art

pathetically grim:S
A picture Of old friends compelled ia
The tailor s a. you seek Il. shop and care.

Has nothing that's encouraging to say,
And you know that he Is thinking Of that
little balance due
You must wear your sunday clothes for
every day.
This gala raiment. once the garb OF
laughter and OF song.
Becomes mournful uniform at last.
Oh. better far were sackcloth and the
penitential thong
Than this mockery so sleek Of pleasures
past.
All. what will be the next relief when
this has had its prime.
And seam by seam 1t finally gives way
You know that fate's .toboSgan has you

When you wear your Sunday clothes FOL

THE NEXT SENATOR.

The wase-earners OF Nebraska are
very much concerned-or should be
about a successor to Senator Elmer
j. Burkett. 1t should not matter so
much with them whether Senator
Burkett's successor is republican or
democrat. but his attitude ON several
quetsions of vital interest to the wage
Garner is of grave moment
The Waseworker feels neigh
borly interest in and personal friend
ship for Senator Burkett, but it can
not overlook the fact that he is the
man responsible for the political pre-
ferment of one of organized labor's
bitterest opponents Nor can it over
look the fact that Senator Burkett
seemed to have very little concern
for the consumers of Nebraska when
that Payne tariff bill was being
framed. although he took lively in
terest in looking after the welfare OF
the manufacturers. Senator Burkett
may be able to explain himself later.
but he will not do it by delivering
long-winded dissertations on the I'M
desirability of government ownership.
The Waseworker is not going TO
ask particularly about the political
affiliations of the men who will stand
forth as aspirants for Senator Bur
kett's toga, but it is going to inquire
f.,,, r,as, he,
tariff question, the question of organ
ized labor. the question of reform of
judicial procedure, the question OF inn
migration and the question of govern
ment by Injunction.
Be he democrat or republican, The
Wageworker will oppose the election
to the United States senate of any
man who favors giving the manufac-
turer more consideration than is
given the consumer. Neither will it
support any man who tries to make
| us believe that the protective tariff is
a benefit to the wage-earners as =
whole. 1t will oppose any man who
will not pledge himself to support q
constitutional provision providing for
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people.
| There are many men in Nebraska.
who would reflect credit upon the
state uron the floor of the senate. In
all candor it must be admitted that
this state has not been conspicuous
in senate affairs by reason of the
commanding personality of any OF its
L senators.
4 There are men mentioned for the
Burkett succession who may be relied
upon as being the firm friends o.
organized labor. and VINO win give
the interests of the consuming masses
quite as much consideration as they
will give the interests of the trusts
and combines If the editor of this
little labor paper were asked TO name
his first choice he would unhesitat
ingiy say Bryant" No better friend
of the organized workers lives. Hi:
friendship has been demonstrated
time and again He would give the
consumer a chance, and would compe
the manufacturers to be content witt
an even break.
The Wageworker asks the wage
earners of the state to act on thi.
senatorial matter without partisan
prejudice. 1t asks them to conside
only the candidates attitude towards
those matters of most vital concerl
to the workers and their families
1t asks them to quit voting for pc
litical machines and begin voting TO
