Looking twelve months ahead, DR.
B. ]. Patterson, of Pratt. Kansas, sees
the Federation of American Motor
cyclists just double its present size.
DR.. Patterson is the newly elected
president of the Federation. and in
making the closing speech at the an
nual F. A. NJ. meet at Columbus the
other day, he proposed that everybody
go to work with a view to having
80, 5000 members when the Federation
holds its next annual meet in July,
1918.
At present the F. A. NJ. has nearly
1900 members, having gained approx
imately 1000 members during the last
twelve months. DR.. Patterson has set
higher mark for the next twelve
months and hopes to gain $4,000.
That's the sort of a man the new
president is. He's willing to tackle
most any job, and when he takes it
he gives it his time and his attention.
He puts things across"
One of the new presidents hobbies
is touring. He is secretary of the
Short Grass Motorcycle Club of Kan
sas, a motorcycle club that docs
things" One of the reasons why the
club docs things" is because DR.. Pat
terson is secretary.
The big event of the Short Grass
year is the annual motorcycle tour,
a tour in which automobiles take part,
and which is conducted through
several Western states to the music of
quartet, the clicking of camera
shutters and the hum of a moving
picture machine-all of which are to
be part of the tour. The 1912 tour is
about ready to move and DIR. Patter-
son is hurrying back to the West with
the F. A. M. presidency tucked under
one arm-ready to handle his new job
with the same dispatch and energy
that characterize all of his actions
The new president is a practicing
physician, and he uses a motorcycle in
his practice. He studied for the law
in his youth, practices medicine now
and breaches motorcycling to all who
will listen.

chief opponent was the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, his ancient foe. He
faced William F. Herrin, chief of the
railroads political forces, and Patrick
Calhoun, magnate of the United Rail
ways. Both were stalwarts. Neither
had ever lost fight in an election.
Johnson had neither money nor or
ganization, but after having traversed
$4,000 miles of the states area in an
old automobile he swept the country
districts and carried San Francisco.
Soon came the Chicago convention
which nominated Mr.. Taft for a Sec
ond term, and to the convention came
Governor Johnson, an insurgent-a
Roosevelt man. He lost his fight for
the seating of Roosevelt delegates
from his state, and refused to partici-
pate in the "steam-roller'' nomin-
atoms.

JOHNSON A FIGHTING MAN

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Governor Hir-
gressive party's nominee for vice pres
ident, has been known as a fighter
since the day he matrIculated at the
university of his state. In college he
was an insurgent; and after leaving
the university he entered public life
as an insurgent.
AS a college student Hiram Johnson
was noted for his athletic prowess.
His determination to win there was
the slightest opportunity-often when
the odds seemed hopelessly against
him--was supported by the ironlike
constitution and physical vigor OF
which his mates on the varsity nine
were proud, if not envious.
Johnson eloped and was married in
his junior year-one of the first evil
dences of his insurgency. He was ad-
mitted to the bar at the age of 81,
and began practice in Sacramento.
Politics attracted him Immediately,
although he did not run for office in
his early years. But he did take an
state.
One of his first political achieve
ments was the thwarting of the will
of the Southern Pacific machine, hith-
erto considered invincible.
George H. Clark, Mayor of Sacra-
mento, had been defeated by the ma
chine for the office of State Railway
ond in rofo1iati0n
fused to appoint as Chief of Police a
man selected by the machine and the
gamblers.
Suit was instituted to GUST Clark
from the office of mayor. Johnson,
already popular as criminal lawyer,
was employed to defend Clark, and he
won his case in one of the most bitter
fights in the history of Western Coast
politics.
In this case the young lawyer was
encountered by a witness known as
a gunfighter Every one predicted
trouble of a dire nature, and when the
bad man invited Johnson outside of
the courtroom, the spectators thought
the climax had come.
Shall we go now" inquired the
lawyer. smiling as he arose to COM
ply with the suggestion. The gun
man hesitated, then sheepishly said
he was merely 'foolin'.''
The lawyer had called his bluff, and
had laid the foundation for reputa-
ton as a fighter himself.
Johnson moved to San Francisco
soon after the Clark case was con-
cluded. In the larger city he was
equally successful in his fights against
the interests" Here he encountered
another bad man, and again carried
away the honors of the day.
Then came the famous Abe Ruef
case, and an opportunity for John
sons browning glory. Johnson's pros
ecution of Ruef after the shooting of
Prosecutor Heney, is history. Ruef
is wearing stripes at San Quentin
Johnson is governor of the state and
holds the pardon power.

state as an insurgent. of course. His

AppIe Pie Without AppIcs.

A guest at an old fashioned home
dinner was eulogizing apple pie and
her hostess when another guest. who
had been California pioneer. recalled
the apple" pie given the children of
1852 to appease their homesick crav-
ings when apples were a dollar a
pound. 1t was made by breaking four
soda crackers into an earthern bowl
and pouring over them a pint Of cold
water rendered very tart by citric
acid When soft the crackers were
laid on a pie plate on the undercrust.
Over them were sifted two table
spoonfuls OF light brown sugar and a
little allspice and cinnamon. A pretty
perforated top crust was added. q nd in
a few minutes a perfect apple pie was
taken from the oven to delight young
and old.-New York Sun.

indianapolis, who claims the middle
weight championship, and Bill Dono-

no doubt be the best ever seen in

are already coming in from nearby
towns. Dillon according to indianapo-
