"TOO MUCH JOHNSON"

California has a case of "too much Johnson" or
johnson has too much office He is both United States
senator and governor of California and he refuses to
give up the latter job until certain legislation he has
sponsored is taken care Of His dual position has caused
report gain credence that he intended to resign his
senatorship and remain governor This he emphatcaly
denies and asserts he will be the job when the extra
session is called His stand has caused considerable sore
ness in southern California from which the Lieutenant
Governor comes and who will become governor when
Johnson resigns That section Of the state says it helped
elect Johnson senator and at the same time elected
Representative Stephens governor and it demands that
Johnson give him the place. This is exactly what John
son will not do until the end Of the second part OF the
legislative session. One of the given for demand
ine the change made at is that stephens as presid
mo officer Of the state senate has to commit himself on
many important questions by his vote" This is some
thing politician always objects to doing.
Logan Bingsley star witness in the trial OF Mayor
Hi Gill for accepting bribe, after telling remarkably
straight story and sticking to it for several days. finally
broke down Saturday evening under severe cross eX
animation and got badly tangled. He had described
graphically his meeting with Gill; his placing an envelope
containing S4 900 the table before the mayor and OF
the latter putting it in his pocket When he finally broke
down he admitted he had not Gill at all At the same
time he exoneraed Sheriff Hodge trial with Gill; and
stated the money advanced to aid Hodges election was
not solicited by the latter and that he had nothing to 90
with the witness in his liquor deals Apparently the case
has fallen flat and the redoubtahle Hiram the hero OF
innumerable political scraps, will come through with
flying colors.

but while this is happily true.
1t must be admitted that there
have been certain additional in
dicattons and expressions on the
part of the German press and
the German authorities which
have increased rather than les

ships and our people are spared,
1t will be because of fortunate cir

manders of the German subma-
rtnes which. they may happen to
encounter, exercise an unexpect-
ed discretion and restraint rather
than because of instructions un-
der which those commanders are

1T would be foolish to deny
that the situation is <raught with
the gravest possibilities and dam

President Wilson'S Address to CONGRESS-

Washington. Feb. 26.-Presi-
dent Wilson spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the congress:
have again asked the privilege Of
addressing you because we are
moving through critical times
during which 1t seems to me to
be my duty to keep in close touch
with the houses of congress SO
that neither counsel nor action
shall run at cross purposes be-
tween us.
ION the third Of February I
officially informed you Of the sud
den and unexpected action of the
Imperial German Government in
declaring its intention to disre-
gard the promises 1t had made
to this government in April last
and undertake immediate sub
marine operations against all
commerce whether Of belliger-
ents or Of neutrals. that should
seek to approach Great Britain
and Ireland. the Atlantic coast
of Europe. or the harbors Of the
Eastern Mediterranean and to
conduct those operations with
out regard to the established re-
striction Of international prac-
ttce. without regard to any con-
siderations of humanity what
ever which might interfere with
their object. The policy was
forthwith put into practice. It
has now been in active execution
for nearly four weeks.
Its practical results ara not
fully disclosed. The commerce
Of other neutral nations is suf-
$rnfv1or h,,$
very much more severely than it
was already suffering before the
first Of February when the new
policy Of the Imperial Govern
ment was put into operation. We
have asked the cooperation of
the other neutral governments
to prevent these depredations, but
I fear none of them has thought
1t wise to join US in any COM
mon course Of action, Our own
commerce has suffered. is suf-
fering. rather In apprehension
than in fact, rather because so
many Of our ships are timidly
keeping to their home ports than
because American ships have
been sunk.

been sunk. the Housatonic and

Of the Housatonic. which was
carrying foodstuffs consigned to
a London firm. was essentially
like the case Of the Frye, in
which It will be recalled, the
German government admitted it's
liability for damages and tho
lives Of the crew. as in the case
of the Frye were safe guarded
with reasonable care.
"The case Of the Law. which
was carrying lemon box slaves
to Palermo. disclosed a ruthless
ness of method which deserves
great condemnation. but was ac-
which might not have been ex-
pected at any time In connection
with the use Of the submarine
against merchantmen, as the
German government has used It,
''In sum, therefore, tho ait-
uation We find ourselves in with
regard to the actual conduct Of
the German submarine warfare
against commerce and its effects
upon our ships and people is
substantially the same a. It was
whom I addressed you on tho
third OF February. exoept for tho
tieing up Of our shipping In our
