remain. The son was shocked profound
ly to hear of his fathers death upon
reaching home at $50 this morning.
Mr. Johnson underwent his operation
at $3.50 Saturday morning. CAL
stones and an infected sail bladder
were found. The gall bladder was re-
moved together with the appendix and
the spleen. Mr. Johnson rallied nicely
from the operation, and continued TO
show Improvement until he was strick-
en- with the heart complication pro-
duced by shock. Mr. Johnson had been
in the best of spirits since the operation.
and to the end expected to make Il
good recovery. DR.. Percy, who per-
formed the operation, said Monday al
ternoon that, barring shock, which he
did not anticipate, he saw no reason
why the patient should no; recover.
Mr. Johnson had been failing as Il
result of the gall bladder trouble since
the first of the year. He grew anemic

going to the Chicago hospital on Feb
% had two blood traEsfus'cns, enc on
Feb. IS, when ms son Sidney gave new
lifeblood to his father, and the other
on March 8, when the blood was taken
from the elder son.
Popular Among Friends.
Mr.. Johnson was a man OF many
friends. and he had happy faculty OF
making friends. In conversation not
long ago he said: Il hope when | am
gone that my friends will look back
upon me and say, Johnson was good
to his friends IF they will remember
me as their friend it is all | shall ask.
Mr. Johnson's death brings an end to
a busy career and Il career that has
had many interesting angles. Mr..
johnson had wide acquaintance po-
litically, and in North Dakota, where
he lived before he came to Marshall
town. was deeply interested in politi-
cal affairs. In the carly '90s, when the
populiSt movement was rampant in
North Dakota, Mr. Johnson came near
receiving the party's nomination as
United States senator at the hands of
the second and third general assem-
bles. He also was nominated for gov
ernor of North Dakota on the populist
ticket.

belief that autocracy has no place In
the world. Since the issue has changed
the speaker pronounced himself no
longer a pacifst, but one who wanted
to see the United States prosecute the
war with it's allies in order that our
children twenty years hence would not
have to wage another war against
Prussian militarism..
In connection with the entrance OF
the United States into the war, held
back by President Wilson until the
people of this country could enter as
an undivided nation, Dr. Willett
sketched at length the policies OF
Frederick the Great and Otto Won Bis
marck and told of the crimes against
civilization they had committed will
fully in order TO enlarge the BLACK
plague spot of Prussia" in Europe.
Contrasted to this were the wars or
the United States from the revolution
down to the present warm which
this nations aim was freedom and
humanitarianism The possible eXcep-
ton he made was the Mexican war,
which he said was the nearest this
country has ever approached the Pots
dam principle.
For tho neople of Germany as peo-
pie DR.. Willett is very charitab able. He
said civilization can never forget what
Germany has done for science. art, lit
erature and music. but on tho other
hand during the last quarter OF CEN
turv she has produced but one poem,
"The HYMN of Hate" has offered no
art worthy Of the name, and has done
nothing hut invent to break down
civilization. He trusts that the United
fight for the German people as such
the same as for all free peoples, and
that while we fight we will fight with
out hate but for the principles OF
democracy.

That report OF a severance Of relations between
Turkey and the Central empires ought to be received
with considerable caution for while 1t expected
that such a break eventually would occur, 1t not
expected so soon What actually has happened, IN all
probability, is the first open clash between the states
Of Turkey and of Germany. 1t is easy to believe
that the matter will hurry to a crisis and perhaps final
break for Turkey in all probability is at the end OF her
resources, while the TeutOnc governments may not be
in position to make any concessions which would have
a tendency to arouse the hostility Of Bulgaria, the
greediest Of all European governments All of-ths has
special interest to the people Of America aside from
its general bearing upon the military and economic
situation in Europe because of all the governments
ISOLATED in the upon the Central powers and their
allies the United States is the only that is not at
with the Turkish empire In this day Of topsy
ry political arrangements It would be quite possible
for to conclude arrangement with Turkey to put
fleet though the Dardanees and not only make the posi-
ton OF Bulgaria most precariOus but seriously embar
Germany in any effort to get provisions from
southern Russia the most important wheat growing
ton Of that vast country. This is Of course bizarre
idea and might enter the heads Of the who
sit upon the Interaed conference at Versailles but
there is no political obstacle to it II Turkey and Ger
many actually have to the end Of their always III
assorted arrangement.

DO YOUR OWN KICKING.

N DECIDING that the individual members Of the
various locals ought personally to report nraetons o.!
the act regulating weights and measures, the Monongahea
Valley Trades and Labor Council took a step in the
night direction, but il may be doubted that they were en-
trey Just IN saying that the local sealer Of weights and
measures is not doing his duty The local at least
entitled to al. and perhaps he felt hat he had the
support Of part of public that willing to fight for its
rights he might tum out to be all that he ought to be
public officer.
AT bottom the public itself is to blame when it Is
overcharged OF cheated That has been proved time and
again in widely scattered communities. Most merchants
are hones: They will not take undue advantage or use
weights and measures that are not true bu, they would
have 10 be something more than human If they did take
all the profit they Car and it right there that miltancy
on the part Of the consuming public comes into play The
prof. will always y reasonable if the merchant knows
that the consumer going to put up powerful kick every
time It is not
But it should be clearly understood that the consumer
cannot pass his kicking responsibility to public Off
ca and expect it to produce the desired reaction. l. has

tempted to charge on the item Of bacon for instance more
than the fair price calls for, the mailed
plant to the County Food administrator it would soon
be borne in upon all the merchants selling bacon in this
town that charging more than the fair pce-even under
any of the transparent subeuges that skinned bacon
sliced bacon costs more than Just bacon-is troublesome
business that does not pay.
Trading is a two party matter. even if the commodity
dealt in is no more than box Of matches The purchaser
can make his share Of the terms when he wants to. The
trouble has been that the past in th; town too many
people have been letting the merchants make all of the
terms When that changes permanently. there will be
some lowering in the cost Of living

get himself in shipshape for military
duty should he be called, was the re-
ason why Senator Howard Sutherland
went to the Walter Reed Hospital a
few days ago 10 undergo a minor sur.
g,cal operation ioT hemeroids. He Is
still at the hospital, but will be dis
charged in a day or two and when
he gets out he will complete some i'm.
portant business for some constitu.
ents and will then go to his home
at Elkins to remain until after tho
primary. Mrs. Sutherland and the
younger children are there.
Senator Sutherland Kissed but one
day attending to business and that
was the day the operation was per.
formed. The following day he was
visited by Secretary Helm ard every
day after that. They spent the after
noon with com espondence and look
ing after office routine.
One very consoling thought that
Senator sutherland has to compen.
safe him for his trip to the Hospital
is that the big army surgeons made
thorough examination OF him and
found the agreeable verdict that "Sen
ator Sutherland is in the perfect ply
steal condition OF a man OF thirty
five" The Senator is very proud OF
that finding. also, 1t explains better
than anything else how 1t is that he
can stand up under the long hours
and hard work that he puts in. No
member Of the Senate works as hard
as he does. because none OF them can
stand the paca with which he goes.
