Gov. johnson has served a purpose: II

dog attributes. his brusque personality,
to effect the release Of the State from
corporation rule, and for this good serv-
ice we withhold no praise. But his early
training does not conspire to a high or

man OF ungoyernAble temper. self-cen-
tered to a painful degree, without due
regard for the law, Is witness his re-
peated reprieves for sordid murders hav-
ing not the slightest claim to leniency.
