more of poverty and friendless-
hess in the days OF their boyhood
than Andrew johnson. He came
from parents who belonged to
the class we call "poor whites
in the South. The mere sugges-
ton that he might one day be-
come President OF the. United
States would no doubt have met
with ridicule had any one made
such a suggestion when he was a
boy in his poverty-stricken Sou
thern home. He first saw the
light OF day on the Doth of De-
cember in the year 1903. There
lay before him a future OF great
stress and strain. He was but
Ave years old when his fatherlost
his own life while trying to save
a friend from drowning. This left
the mother OF Andrew Jonson en-
tirely DEPENDENT upon her own ef-
torts for a living.
The boy Andrew could neither
read nor write when he was ten
years old. At this age he was ap.
prenticed to q tailor instead of
being sent to school. The tailor
lived in Raleigh and had a num-
ber of boys in his shop. There
was a peculiarly kind and benev.
.olent old gentleman in the town
who thought it a pity that these
young boys should be growing
up without any education, and
he went to the tailor shop every
day and read to- them while thay
worked. In this way they acquir-
ed a good deal OF general infor-
nation. The little chap, Andrew
Johnson, acquiring q thirst Tor
more information, and some OF
the things the benevolent old gen.
tleman read fired the boy with a
desire to be something more,
than a tailor. He was seized with
an ambition tolearn to read and
write. and he began to learn the
alphabet. Some OF the workmen
in the shop helped him and in
time he was abl. to read. He had
a bright mind and learned about
as rapidly as one could expect'a
boy to learn when he worked 12
hours a day in a shop, and had
to do his studying when his long
days work was done.
After he had learned to read; ];
young Johnson asked the benev-
olent old gentleman if he could
loan him some books. This was
done gladly, and the more the
boy read the more eager he be-
came for an education.
When he was eighteen, young
Johnson went to Greeneville in
Tennessee to live and took his
mother with him. Here he work
ed as a tailor, and while in Green
vile he Was married to a young
- woman who had a fair educa-
tion and she became notonly his
wife but also his teacher. We are
told that she read t. him while
he stitched away athis work, and
in the evening the evening she
helped him with his studies and
encouraged him to improve his
mind to the utmost. He became
very ambitious and SO enthusi,
astic over his studies that he
learned rapidly. ~
He soon acquired the reputa
ton of being mighty smart y
an i when he was twenty years
old he was elected to his first
public office, which was that oI
alderman of the town in which
he lived. During the two years
he held this office he made such

1t Is all JingOism.

Our jingoes, mostly democrats, with
occasionally a brawler like Roosevelt,
expressing themselves as very much
alarmed, that when the war in Europe
ends, Germany and possibly other
powers now engaged in the war will
attack this country. There is no dan
ger, not in the least, for when the war
ends, each of the nations involved, will
be so impoverished in men and capital
that it will require a quarter, if not a
half century for them to recuperate
and get back to where they were when
the present war began. While it may
be well to be prepared, for if this
country should be attacked and a war
follow, it will be by an Asiatic and not
an European race; and there is not
much danger of such an attack, the
jingoes, Notwithstanding. If we mind
our own business, as we should and
are not influenced by the demands of
capital, we shall have no trouble,
peace will reign within our borders
and our people continue to prosper
and be happy.

from the Boston (Mass.) Herald, the
leading paper in that state:
I'VE ought to go back to a simpler
system of nominating candidates. The

state is now going though, under the
direct primaries, is burdensome to the
aspirants, in time and money, and pro-
ductive of no good result 1t is limit
ing our choice of candidates to those
who seek the office, and those who can
afford to do so. 1t is, however, weary
ing men with the turmoil of politics,
its contests coming one after another
in ceaseless procession. The move
ment under way for the short ballot
is wise and necessary. 1t should be

We have had a like experience in
Wisconsin at the last state election
only 325,559 votes were cast, there
being over 100000 voters in the state,

ercise the right to suffrage, being in

mary election for the nomination of a
governor, only 1877, 569 votes were cast

only 308,0002 votes were cast, more
than 100000 not voting. 1t is GER
tainly time that the voters of the state
should send men to the legislature
