President, they picked him as a
fighter and as governor of state
that under his leadership was fast be-
coming one of the most progressive
states in the Union. He was chosen
governor of the state in 1910. when
he was selected to be the standard
bearer of the Lincoln Roosevelt
Club. The state, at that time. was
run by the railroads. by the South
ern Pacific in particular. His
promise during the campaign was
that he would kick the Southern
Pacific out of politics" l asked
him the other day if the railroad was
still out of politics. Absolutely"

His record has not been that OF

he "stood at Armageddon" with

More than a quarter of 4 century

used to pitch. himself. He tried his
hand at tossing 'em over with con-
siderable success while he was an
undergraduate at the University of
California. And his love for the
game has never tagged. It used to
be a by-word in California that if
you wanted to find Hiram johnson
all you had to do was to go to the

Californians will tell you that
Hiram johnson has. for the last
twenty years. been one of the leading
lawyers of the state. The most IA
nous case with which he has been
connected was that Of ABE" Ruef
and the grafters' ring in San Fran

Francis J. Heney. the bulwark of the
prosecution. had been shot down in
the courtroom, and carried the case
through. putting the grafters in Jail.
But Senator johnson today is not a
wealthy man. He has made a good
living, Of course. But. while living
without ostentation. he has always
lived well. He and Mrs. Johnson

various quarters that tuberculosis
could be transmitted, the fact of its
infectious character was now proved
beyond a doubt. 1t is interesting to

great doubt and opposition, but he had
many warm supporters among medi-
cal men of that time. The structure
was studied more fully, and the cell in
the tubercle, known as the giant celf'
was described by Laughaus, altho it
had been previously by Virchow and
Rokitansky. TubercleS were found by
Freidlander, 1875, in lupus, which was
later proved to be tuberculosis of the
skin. Tubercles were also found in
the lymph glands by Schuppel in 1871.
| Epoch 3.
Because of the many changes of
| opinion and the doubt in the minds of
the foremost students of the time, the
| existence of a specific cause for the
disease had to be assumed. Klebs and
| later Cohnheim had already, without
reserve, defined tuberculosis as a spe-
| cific infectious disease.
The firm and ancient belief of the
| contagiousness of tuberculosis led to
| the successful search for the cause. :
The announcement of the end of the
| search came in 1882 from Robert
| Koch. Koch was a health officer in
| an obscure German town and his re-
port was SO complete that since his
announcement hardly a single essen
| tial detail has been added.
! Koch's discovery was that the germ
| was found in all tuberculous LESSONS,
such as chronic tuberculosis, tubercu-
| losis of the intestines, bone and joint
! disease, in the sputum and in cattle.
| The germ occurred in no other disease.
! 1t was cultivated by him, inoculated
| into animals, with reproduction of
| tuberculosis, thereby fulfilling what
has become known as Koch's laws.
