The incident is recalled because Of
the peril of going too far in the mat

have tried it in the south and the

comment upon it this way:

JOHN A. JOHNSON

THOMAS ". LAWSON.

Thomas W. Lawson was an inti-
mate friend Of Governor Johnson.
Upon hearing of his death, he wired
the following, which is one Of the
finest things that has been said of the
dead governor.
Yesterday and yesterdays when
the suns red-brown halo blended
my hollyhocks and sunfowers to nod
ding evening gods, he used to loom, a
soulful, heart-loving Inspiration.
From my gardens twilight quiet /
have often visioned him, this tall,
swaying pine of the west, and the Wis

things and men glowed the heart and
soothed the soul and clarified the
mind and made for love of good and
for shame of petty meaness and sor-

No human ever entered the atmos-
phere of John Johnson without being
better. He was indeed a man, a

Wives looked upon his wife and bles-

have been sold upon speculation to
sepculators all over the United States
from Maine to California. Many of
them are dead. and others cannot be

there was no one to pay them. The
