JOHNSON FOR ROOSEVELT
California Governor Declares for Ex.
President.

New York, Feb. 20.--Hiram John
son, governor of California, heretofore
an ardent supporter of Senator La
Toilette, issued formal statement
here saying that in his opinion Theo-
dore Roosevelt should be the next Re-
publican nominee for president of the
United States.
The statement was issued, he said,
with Mr.. Roosevelt's knowledge, but
not necessarily with his sanction.
"The admiration of California pro-
gressives for Senator La Toilette is un-
diminished" said Governor Johnson,
land they recognize his splendid serv-
ices and great sacrifices for the cause.
In California, however, it is obvious
that progressive policies can best be
accomplished at present through the
leadership of Theodore Roosevelt.
ITO him the West ever has looked
% guide In righteousness in govern
ment for all and as the champion of
popular rule. Today there Is not a
hamlet or city in this country where,
upon a ballot legitimately taken, the
people would not by five to one prefer
him to his principal opponents

P|NCHOT DECLARES
FOR ROOSEVELT
Says La Toilette Cannot Hold
Progressives Together.

Washington, Feb. 20.--Gifford Pin
chot, in signed statement, announces
that he has withdrawn his support
from Senator La Follette's presiden
tial candidacy and that he will here
after advocate the nomination of Theo
dore Roosevelt.
Mr. Pinchot declares that the events
of the last month have made 1t ap
parent that Senator La Follettes can
didacy will neither hold the progres
sive Republicans together as a fight
ing force nor prevent the nomination
of "a reactionary Republican"
"The course which the senator has
elected to pursue" says Mr. Pinchot
will not keep the progressives to-
gether, and in that course | cannot
follow him"
"The struggle which until recently
has centered around Senator La Fol
lette's candidacy was undertaken fol
two clear and specific purposes; first
to hold the progressives together as
an effective fighting force, and, sec
ond, to prevent the nomination of a
reactionary Republican for the presi
dency. Within the last month circum
stances have made 1t impossible tc
accomplish by means of the candi
dacy of Senator La Toilette either o1
these two purposes, and the impera
tive need for another leader has beer
made plain"

MINORITY REPORT IS FILED
Recommends That Stephenson's Seat
Be Declared Vacant.

Washington, Feb. 20-United States
Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wiscon-
sin is not entitled to his seat, in the
opinion of five members of the SEN
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tions, who filed minority report with
the senate. The majority report on
the investigation Of Senator Stephen
sons campaign expenditures was SUBJ
mitted Feb. H. In substance it held
that the charges of corruption In the
primary of 1908 were not proved.
The minority report is signed by
Senators Kenyon, Clapp and Jones,
Republicans, and Lea and Kern, Demo
Gratis. II contends that enough evil
dence was deduced by the inquiry to
warrant the senate in declaring Sena-
tor Stephcnson's seat vacant.

Roosevelt Feels II Is His

Washington, Feb. 20.-Ex-President

he is to make before the Ohio consti-
tutional convention at Columbus

brief, 1t is understood Colonel Roose-
welt will say simply that he is not
now, and has not been, candidate;
that he will not turn hand to secure
the nomination, but that if his party
nominates him he will feel ii his duty
to accept. This will not necessarily
imply that the colonel will be a pas
sive candidate, once that he is before
the public. He realizes that the fight
thus precipitated will be one of the
bitterest in the history of the Repub-
iican party.
He does not harbor any delusions as
to the certainty of his nomination, but
is said to be willing to go down to de-
feat IL necessary, leading the progress
sive movement.

After his Columbus speech, his
friends say, there will be no further
cause to question that he is progress

vors popular government. The speech
will show a profound respect for and
confidence in popular rule and will fa-
vor the referendum under certain limi-
tations, and without favoring the ju-
dicial recall. will declare that some
restraint should be placed upon judges
who prove recreant to the people.
Clifford Pinchot's espousal of Colonel
Roosevelt's cause, of course, was not
made without advices from headquar-
tsrs. That Mr.. Pinchot would not take

Senator Borah last week expressed
the opinion that Roosevelt would be a

he would be nominated. This opinion
was given after Mr. Borah had visit

Wilmington, Del, Feb. 20.-General
T. Coleman Du Pont is so well pleased
with the plans for the $4,000, 900 boule-

to leave practically his entire fortune
to be used in building good roads not
only in this state but in several ad-
joining commonwealths. The general
has decided to make this disposition
of most of his fortune rather than
leave 1t to his children, all of whom
will be adequately provided for In ad-
vance.
Dwelling on the benefits to be de-
rived from good roads General Du
Pont says in his announcement:
II believe good roads will do more
good than Libraries, hospitals and In
fact any OF the usual forms OF philan-
thropy."

from YOU. But what about the boyF
A boy and dog are in many respects
alike. Treat either one Of them In
any way decent and they will stano
by you when the last friend you have
on earth has deserted you. Let your
enemies point out our evil ways; let
them emphasize your few failings; le
them back up their cruel statements
with evidence-what matters 1t to the
boy? He doesn't know, and he does
not care. You are his friend-you
have been true to him, and that Is al
he cares about 1t. Let them shout and
malign, he can stand it, and all he
hopes is that you will be able to
stand II in like manner.
But what's the use Of continuing in
this strain? You've been boy,
Don't you remember how you felt
about these things? Don't you re
member how your boy heart respond
ed when father suggested that you be
made a member Of every outing tri
that was under consideration? Have
you forgotten-can you ever forget
bow much you appreciated the conf
dence father reposed in you upon any
thing? Why, you just felt as though
you had suddenly, been made the Gus.
todian of some sacred heirloom. and
as for betraying that confidence or
proving unworthy of it you would
have died first.
Now these boys of ours are much
like we used to be. They are largely
moved upon by the selfsame influ
ences as used to dominate our lives
They love their mothers, brothers and
sisters, and above all-they love theil
'Daddies.'" "Give them a chance

Fathers, rise to the full dignity Of our
station as men-American men-and

achievement the sacred trust which
has been so graciously committed to
our keeping.

And hearts to understand,

WHAT ABOUT
THE soYs2
i
Now that the summer with it's
charm of field and forest is calling
SO insistently to the wonderlust with
in us, we make bold to raise the query
what about the boys?"
Many Of the fathers are planning
fishing and hunting trips to the can
yons or elsewhere, but in too many
cases the boy is left entirely out Of
the planning. Give the boy a chance!
There is something seriously wrong
with the head of ethics of a man who
calls himself father and yet neglects
20 give his boy the consideration he
deserves. These boys need your COM
pnnionship. They need to be made
better acquainted with you, their
father. In nine cases out of ten
wherein boy goes bad it invariably
proves out that he has not been made
the close confident of his father. He
has been left largely to himself. True,
his father has provided him with his
clothes and his living, but what, af.
ter all, does that amount to? The
boy wants something more, he wants
his father.
And after all is said and done, what
in all this wide world is more to be
desired than the friendship of boy?
Talk about the friends you make in
business, politics, or elsewhere, where
is the first one of them who will
stand by you through thick and thin
like the boy?
Let the wind of scandal catch your
fair name upon its foul breath ar6
send 1t careening down the line and
note how soon your money-made or
business-made friends turn away
