John G. johnson Won Laurels
Through Personal EndeaVor

Philadelphia, April 14.-John G.
johnson, the widely known lawyer,
died at his home here today. Death
was due to heart disease.
Mr.. Johnson stood in the front rank
Of his profession, having been retained
largely by corporations in many of
the great legal cases that have come
before the supreme court Of the Unit
ed States in the last twenty years. He
appeared before that tribunal in the
famous Northern Securities case, the
Standard Oil Trust case the United
States steel suit, now pending, and In
all the anthracite coal trust cases that
have been instituted in the last ten
years.
Mr.. Johnson refused positions IS
vice presidential candidates and twice
declined offers as appointment to the
supreme bench.
John G. johnson was born in Phila-
delphia, his father being a black
smith. Left fatherless in boyhood. he
was graduated from the Philadelphia
High school and succeeded in being
admitted to the bar in 1868 without
going to a law school.
Hardly second to his legal prestige
was Mr.. Johnson's standing as art
connoisseur. The fine collection OF
the later Peter A. B. Widener owed
much of it's prestige and value to the
fact that it was chosen under Mr..
Johnson's assistance.
Mr.. johnson leaves no direct heirs.
He married late in life.

PLATTEVILLE MINER HAS
HAIRBREADTH ESCAPE

Thos. Alcott had a hair breadth es-
cape Monday while digging in the En-
terprise shaft, gophering for lead. He
was down about Is feet and had dug
in from the ladder until he had open
ing of about 2 feet wide and stepped
in to this opening. The rock above
him caved in and pinned hime there.
Had this happened before he got into
the opening, he would have fallen
some SO or 60 feet AS it is he is suf-
fering from some broken ribs, but is
thankful his injuries are no worse
His wife heard his cries when she
went for bucket Of water, and Les
Hinkins and John Butt assisted in get
ting the injured man out after he was
imprisoned some hours.-Journal

JUDGE LANDS adopts
THE 342ND REGIMENT.

Camp Grants prairie regiment, the
342nd, was formally adopted" by
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands on
Thursday who was accorded a great
ovation by the soldiers.
"This is America" cried the Judge,
Tets win the war! I want you to be-
lieve me when | say that every man
and officer in this regiment may come
to me with his troubles. [ want the
privilege of your confidence and
want to help you when you need help,
not in words and empty promises, but
in the living, personal things that
prey on mems minds and souls.
eff any man or officer in this regi-
ment is confronted with a personal
trouble while he is defending his state
and nation, | want to know about it.
Write me if there IS a thing within
my power to do that may relieve the
worry. If the matter is urgent, wire
me at my expense. I'll adjourn court
if necessary to attend personally to
your requests.
I'm proud Of this regiment, I'm
proud of this nation and I'm proud to
say that every interest of mine, every
power Of mine, is with you in your
days work. We can fight at home.
Try me and see!"

A MILWAUKEE PACIFIST.

Robert Schilling Of Milwaukee, made
a speech at Schleisingerville last
week Schilling abused the admins
tration, made jokes about the flag
praised La Toilette to the skies and
finished up with TRADE on President
Wilson I'm a damned sight better
American than Woodrow Wilson and
can prove it. fought for the Union"
Schilling is reported to have said.
There was plenty more but this is
enough. The audience laughed at
Schilling and maybe that was better
than the rotten eggs and plenty Of
them lie would have received in less
tolerant communities. Perhaps it was
his copper button that saved him.
He is disgracing it now.

ONE OF THE STOCK LIES.
Denver Times.)

A young woman in local business
Office was asked a few days ago to do
some work for the Red Cross. This
was her answer:
mo. | am working girl, just earn
ing my living and no more 1 have
given to war charities every cent
can afford. [ would work for the Red
Cross, perhaps, but | have heard so
many strange stories about the Red
Cross recently that | do not want to
do anything until l know the truth"
That young woman is not alone in
her attitude, and in justice to the Red
Gross, which is doing wonderful, glor-
ious work for humanity, we believe
the truth about a lie" should be told
again. 1t is the old lie concerning the
knitted sweater, the SO bill and the
sale of the sweater by the Red Cross.
1t runs like this:
i. A woman knitted a sweater for a
soldier. She took pains and care in
her work and into the garment she
knitted also a secret pocket into which
she tucked $40 bill. Then she sent
the sweater to the Red Cross, expect
ing some soldier of this country would
receive the benefit Of the work of her
hands and her heart. A few days later
she saw a woman on the street wear
ing the same sweater. She stopped
the woman, who admitted she had
bought the sweater from the Red
Cross. Further investigation disclosed
the $40 bill still in the sweater, proof
conclusive that the garment was the
one knit for a Sammy.
That lying story has been spread
in Detroit, in Cleveland, in Cincinn-
att, in Washington, in every big city
in the United States, in fact-and now
the same falsehood has gained wide
circulation in Denver. 1t is only an
other phase Of the insidious pro-Ger-
man propaganda which this nation
must fight. 1t has done a great harm
to the Red Cross, and has deferred
many loyal women from working for
that organization. There is not an
atom of truth to the story, for the only
truth about the American Red Cross
and it's work in providing sweaters for
our soldiers is this: All sweaters
knit for soldiers are stored in branch
supply houses Of the Red Cross. On
receipt of orders from Washington
these sweaters are shipped to Wash
ingtOn headquarters and from there
are distributed honestly to our fight
ing men. That is the simple, honest
truth, and it should be made clear, we
believe, in order that no lies, no false
and wicked stories can in the slight
est way check the continuance Of Red
Cross work that is bringing comfort
and help to the men who will soon be
lover there" giving their lives to
guarantee safety for those among us
who cannot go.

READING WAR NEWS.

Do you read war news? Yes, we
know you said year ago that the
whole story day by day was hideous
rehash of carnage and misery and you
were done with it for good and ALL
Still you inevitably drifted back to
eagerly reading everything you could
get on the subject simply because the
war itself is the biggest thing ever
placed on the world stage. Read war
news from legitimate sources; keep
yourself informed on every move of
the great game-in the end you will
be a bigger and better citizen and
without doubt manifestly much bet
ter informed one.

FEAR. THE CONQUEROR.

The greatest impeachment to your
progress as a successful and free man
is the thing you have struggled against
since you were frightened at ghosts
and bogies as child. That thing is
Fear. Fear has kept it's hand upon
you since your inception making you
afraid to meet issues, making you lie
when the truth was vital but too big
to utter. Fear kept you from taking
the courageous business step and
caused you to hedge and mark time
when you knew in your soul you were
sliding to ruin. Fear has stifled your
intelligence and ordered you to ac-
cept fetishes for standards. Fear has
forced you to surround the cruelties
of the world with the glamour of illu
sion and you have worn rose colored
spectacles because you were afraid to
face unpleasant things.
Fear is the greatest enemy of hui
mainly because in it's wake follow in
evitably cruelty and oppression. SUI
perstition and ignorance are it's high
priests and the Frankensteins of the
world have ruled your ancestors by
means Of them.
Fear will conquer you, assail you
every moment of your living days and
render you worm Of the dust unless
you summon Courage and with it's
mighty aid drive Fear back into the
abysmaI cavern from whence it came
Conquer fear and you will be
Free Man; Nay, a brother of the Gods.

THE RISE in PRICES.

How are you standing the rise in
prices? Because you have to We'll
warrant. So are we. The increased
cost of everything affects one and all
in varying degrees according to their
occupation. The farmer is one of the
favored ones along with the manufac-
turers in being able to get more, much
more, than he ever did before for his
the laboring man is ground between
the millstones.
All this is horrific but must be
stood. Speaking of the farmer the lat
ter should not be blamed for getting
all he can for what he has to SELL
We all do the same and it is only of
recent years that farming has been
profitable occupation. Independent it
always was but not profitable.
In the old days when there was a
glut of farm stuffs no one stepped for
ward to lift the farmers mortgage,
lessen his ten per cent or save his
home from ruin The farmer bore the
burden and went broke as he fire.
quently had to, because Of economic
conditions. Corn is worth $127 now
but we can remember when it sold for
ten cents and the farmers burned it
for fuel!
The farmer is on the top of the
wheel now instead of the bottom.

A LESSON FOR AMERICANS

The inevitable result Of high flown
ideals, pacifism, obstruction and moon
shine is now to be seen in the Rus
sian debacle. That such influences
allowed to gain the upper hand would
work the same pass in this country,
seems almost too ridiculous to men
ton. But we cannot help but feel that
a failure to strongly realize our integ-
rity as a nation among nations, to
uphold the hands Of those placed in
power by the people and in general
adopt a policy Of complaint, obstruc-
ton and do-nothing, leads strongly
toward the slough the RI ian people
are now floundering in. Don't blame
them; profit by their example.

THE PURITANS AND THANKS.
GIVING.

The fact that we observe the last
Thursday in November as a Thanks
giving Day is strongly indicative Of
the indelible impress left on the life
bearers, the Puritan fathers and
mothers. Time has amalgamated the
Puritan blood, softened it, swept away
much of the harshness but it is pleas
ing to think that the robustness Of the
Puritan character remains with us
even though the blood itself has gone
forever from the country. Puritan
ism, the characteristics and thought
processes of the Pilgrim, dominate
this country and the thoughtful OBJ
server can trace this influence in
nearly every public alignment and act
The narrow side Of Puritanism frOwns
on sports, dancing and kindred amuse
ments as frivolities leading away
from the consideration Of serious
things, today just at it did in the time
of Governor Winthrop. This intoler-
ant phase is regrettable just as the
sturdy honesty and idealism Of Puri
tanism is to be applauded.
We celebrate Thanksgiving as a part
of our tribute to the Puritan influence
emanating as it did from d mere hand
full of strong souls and we cannot
gainsay that Puritanism remains with
us forever and a day.

SECRET MEETINGS B-R-R-H!

The Germans are holding secret
meetings!
So the Herald was informed a few
days ago.
BOsh!
Rubbish!
Fiddlesticks
Don't you believe it.
Such talk, unless known to be SO,
is foolish and cruel. In the first place
there are no Germans here. There are
people here with German blood. in
their veins, lots of them But they're
American citizens and have the right
to be called such just as you and
have this right.
Search your own ancestry and you'll
probably find some German in it. The
writer has and is not ashamed of it.
We know hundreds of people with
Teutonic strain and almost without
exception they are good citizens and
anxious to do their bit as such. To
suspect them Of dislOyality, to talk
about them surreptiously, to endeavor
to wall them off as apart from our
national brotherhood is wicked, mar
row and silly.
AS good Americans we will stand
together. We do not ask the people
of German ancestry to be Americans
because they are already Americans.
The vast majority Of them will stand
with the nation as an undivided wall
against Prussianism. They know bet
ter than we it's evils.
They will help us deal with the NAL
contents as the exigency needs. They
will support the union even though
they might be driven away by unfair
talk.
Let us be fair; our hands upon it.!
