A SElF-SUPPORTtNG STATEMENT

Governor Hiram Johnson. on be- half of himself and other former sup porters of La Toilette, has deemed t advisable to answer at length the charge of treachery and desertion which has divided California into two hostile progressive camps. His state ment. including letters from various associates, occupies practically d page of the Los Angeles Tribune, which regards it as conclusive proof that La Toilette was not abandoned by Johnson and others un- til they had been released by La Follettes manager, Walter L. Hous- CT.
 What Johnson says is said to 1e fully confirmed by the Pinchots, Clifford and Amos, Medili Mccormick, Congressman Kent. Gilson Gardner. Bristow, Clapp. w. R. Nelson, John D. Flackler. all of them included in the charge of tre2chery. There is not a word of outside corroboration of the Johnson statement, not line from Houser, and not even quoted word. Testimony of this sort will, of course. be received with great al lowance, coming as it does, at this late date, when the progressive schism is becoming so alarming. Such statement, presented at the time it ought to have been-at the time of the alleged assertion would, per haps, have been more effective.
 The "corrcboration" or "conirma. tion" reminds us of Mark Twain's profane description of the beginning of a religion which had it's origin ID the discovery Of certain copper plates bearing a mysterious message which was afterward miIaculously translaJ ed. The plates had been jointed out to the chosen discoverer by an angel Some doubt was expressed by misbe- Iievers concerning the very existence of the plates, but they were resolved most conclusively by the CiAcjyerer with the assertion that he had moi only seen the plates with his own eyes. but the angel saw him see them"
 There is one strong circumstance against the truth or the Johnson state ment which overshadows all thf "conhrmation" of it by the allege' co-conspirators. That circumstance is that Houser, who is something Of press agent as well as poiitca manager. has never ceased to pro claim through the press the candida cy of La Toilette.
 Immediately after the collapse 0 La Toilette at Philadelphia. the mo ment alleged to have been seized upol for the commission of the act o treachery complained of. Houser per sistently and daily stated through th' press that La Toilette, after brie rest. would renew his campaign Wit veor Moreover, Houser sought | stop the stampede at the first sign Q if and steadily since then he ha been rebuking the stampeders.
 Another circumstance against tn Johnson statement is this. Senate Clapp. who is one of the "eonhrmers' long after the Johns9n act of desc tion declared his adherence to L Toilette He could not then hay heard of the latter's withdrawal of Houser's release" The more V ,cShsiddsfi1 johnsoas ststepent u u mors we must regard it as an ate thopshl.

1t has been announced there that Rus
sia Will assist the Chinese revolu-

extent
The Russian legation here denies
that such an announcement was au-
thorzed by the imperial Russian gov
Vernment. but there is little doubt felt
in diplomatic circles here that the
Cars ministers will go to almost
any extreme to secure the independ-
ebce of Mongolia
The denial by the Russian legation

not made formal demand on China
to release Mongolia she has queried
the Chinese government regarding its
attitude in the matter.
