st. Paul, Mimi, Oct 19-On the
broad plaza in front of the great white
capitol TO which John A. Johnson had
been sent three times as governor in
a state strongly opposed to his pOlit-
iCal party, a bronze statue of the late
governor was unveiled this afternoon
in the presence OF several thousand
persons.
The statue, made by Andrew O'COI-
nor, the noted American sculptor, is but
slightly above life size and is startling
massive base of Minnesota granite
and is fianked by four groups of
statues which typify phases OF life
and industry i'll Minnesota.
The total cost was paid by a fund
Contributed soon after Governor John
sons death in September, 1909, by the
people of Minnesota and other north
western states, and by former Mime
sotians then residing in various parts
of the world. No contribution of
more than 81 was accepted from any
person. Altogether several hundred
thousand persons of all political par
/ ties Joined in providing this peTma-
nent testimonial to their esteem Of the
man who was born in poverty, strug-
gled to support his mother and himself,
won fame as editor, legislator and eX-
/ eCutive, and of whom in the demo
cratic pre-convention campaign of
1908, Governor Cleveland, in the last
long letter ever written nv him said .
81 have lately come to the conclusion
tlat our last hope rests upon the nom
ination Cfor the presidency of John
sen of Minnesota"
But the people remember most WV
idly the delightful personality, the
charming manners, the generosity the
tolerance, the integrity of John A

Johnson and these things were the bur
den OF the tributes paid by the speak
eCs today-C. ID. O'Brien, president of
the Johnson memorial commission,
who presented the statue to the state;
Governor Adolph o. Eberhart, Cover
nor JOhnson's successor, who accepted
il, and w. S. Hammond, representative
in congress from the First Minnesota
district. The viel was drawn from
the statue by Miss Jeanette Lynch,
daughter of Fred b. Lynch, democratic
rational committeeman from Mime
sofa.
Prominent in the great crowd in the
unveiling We're several hundred school
children. To them, and to other pu-
p,ls throughout the northwest, Cover
nor Johnson has been held up as a
type of American most worthy of emu
( lation. To them Johnson has been
ljkened to Lincoln, each rose from
poverty, each was devoted to his
mother, each was denied education in
the schools yet educated himself, each
maintained outspOkenly his own Opin-
ions, yet was markedly tolerant of the
opinions of others, each was clean in
habits and speech each was an effect
i've public speaker, with a seemingly
iroXhaustable fund of homely, pat,
amusing but never offensive nor Of
Tending stories; and Johnson resem-
lied Lincoln strikingly in stature and
in rugged countenanCe. Little in the
I life of either need be omitted from the
analogy, save that Lincoln attained the
presidency and Johnson was appar-
emily, in direct line for it when he was
stricken; and Johnson being a local
man of the immediate not the remote
yesterday. has been far more vivid. far
more real" TO these children than
Lincoln has been or can be

BOARD IN FIGHT
FOR PURE WATER
Water Commission Seeks Fund
to Buy Land Around Con-
taminated Reservoir.

Members of the city water commits
sion planned today to make a vigorous
fight before the finance committee of
council the first of the year for an APP
preparation to purchase the property
around the city water reservoirs which
is endangering the city's water supply.
At the meeting of council yesterday
the board presented a communication
along with a letter from the city health
doctors, condemning the conditions of
surface closets around the reservoirs.
The board wanted council to set aside
the $4,000 secured in premiums from
the sale of the water bonds for the pur-
chase of this property. City Attorney
Mayson ruled that this could not be
done, as the bond ordinance specified
how every cent Of the BOND money
should be spent The board, therefore,
will take its fight before the finance
committee on January /.

Believe me, there is the meanest man
in Atlanta that ever was. Gracious sakes,
but he is mean-the very limit
Hes pretty swell dresser, too, and
believe he has money, and If he would
loosen up he never would miss it. But.
holy smoke-he's mean! Stingy? Say.
stingy amt the name for it! He's down
right parsimonfferous!
You know what he does? No? Well,
listen to me-listen carefully, and get
wise to this guy!
He gets his nails manicured here about
twice a month-and, heavens above, he
always needs it-and, do you know what
that thing does?
You know, we charge cents finger
SO cents for the two hands-which Is
cheap enough. with everything SO high,
especially ice cream soda and Saturday
candy 80 cents a box-and that person
has one joint of one finger gone!
And do you know he makes me knock
off nickel every time 1 manicure him
he won't pay me but 10 cents, for the nine
whole fingers. you know!
