There was no indication that his policy of front porch campaign would be modified.

JOHNSON INITIATES HE MAY NOT TRAIL
 WITH REPUBLICANS
Will Insist Senator Harding Not Evade The
 League Issue.
FAILS TO SAY WHAT
 HE WOULD DO IN CASE
As Californian Seek c. 0. P. Plank on Covenant It Admits Best One Interpretation and
 that's His Own.

Boston, July 19.-Senator Hiram Johnson of California, in letter to Bancroft Abbott, leader of the John son forces in the pre- convention cam paign in this state, made public to- night, that if Senator Harding in his speech of acceptance should "honest- ly, frankly, courageously take his po- sltion in favor of the Americanism that is ours," he could "cheerfully and enthusiastically go forward with the republican party"
 If, in his speech of acceptance, Che should evade the issue," Senator John son added, "a more difficult situation will be presented to men like my self"
 The republican platform plank on the league of nations, Senator John son said, "was not such as I would have written, but nevertheless it's language seemed to me capable of but oHC CoHS ITuCtlOn.
 "The big issue, which has engrossed me for so long and which has become a part of my life, seems to have been met by both platforms, the re- publicans assuming the position have taken from the first, and the democrats the contrary position in favor of the league.
 "Under these circumstances it seems to me that men who viewed this over shadowing issue as 1 did could con sistently follow but one source and that was the acceptance of the party opposing the league and opposition to the party approving it.
 q do not wish you to think for one instant that I am unmindful of the conditions, which obtained at Chi cago, or the system which we saw, in it's ugly nakedness, exemplified there; nor do I forget the men who repre- sented that system.
 Because. of the big thing, I am willing for period to declare truce upon these men, but you may be cer- tain that in the short time I shall re- main in public life, my work hence forth will be to attack the system and, to hold up to public obloquoy the men who have founded such cynical and contemptuous disregard of the ex-' pressed will of the people,"

or,gln Of the word canada.

The origin of the word Canada is obscure, but 1t is now generally ac- cepted that it is derived from an h. dian word, "Kannatha,' meaning a village or collection of huts, and it is supposed that Jacques Cartier. hear ing this word used by the Indians with reference to their settlements, mistook its meaning, and applied it to the whole country. Quebec is said to be derived from the Indian word 'Kebec. !" meaning strait, and was given to the site of the present city of Quebec from the peculiar configuration of the St. Lawrence river at that point. for the river there grows narrow and from US deep waters rises the bold height on which the ancient city stands.
