JOHNSON'S FEIENDS
BACKING HIS CAUSE
(Hearst Newt by Loturert Leased Wire.
Chicago, Sept. 18. Governor Johnson
has long been considered a Democratic
candidate for the presidential nomina
tion in 1912 by local party chiefs. Roger
suiiivan, Democratic national com
mitteeman, today said that Frederick
a. Lynch of Minnesota was In his of
fice only a few daya ago and talked of
pians ior a jonnson campaign. Lynch
it waa who financed tne Jonnson cam.
v palgn in 1908 and' who managed the
canvass from the Chicago headquarters
. anu in jjenver.
Local Democratic leaders assert that
the Johnson campaign of last year was
only a preliminary move to a deter
mined fight for his nomination in 1912.
They explain that Lynch and others in
the John ton movement against Bryan
knew all along that the Nebraskan had
the Inside track and that the beat that
could be done for Johnson was to start
him In the presidential free for all, with
the 1913 nomination aa th vnai I
When Governor Johnson was in Chi
cago on his way home to submit to an
exam nation by his physician he did
not discourage talk connecting him with
the presidential nomination next time.
When the reporters told him he should
get an earlier start than he did last
time he said:
"Well, if r start next time we will
make it early, you may bet on that."
George W. Brennan. member of the
Democratic state committee, said Gov
ernor Johnson has been looked upon aa
a candidate for the 1912 nomination.
Brennan and others In the Illinois del
egation wanted to vote for Johnson at
iim Denver convention. Instructions,
however, bound them to Bryan. .

of Clover Hill farm. But at that the
picture is furnished only groundwork.
Get first the location; 80 miles from
Portland, with all out of doors for
miles around, yet little nooks where
pent-up town babies and some of the
older folks could have the best kind

Vond of HI Farm.
Mr. Thompson, the banker, had
turned eagerly from banking' duties to
ward Clover Hill farm, his guest of an
afternoon knew why. About a mile
away the straggling frame houses of

house. On the hillside brush was burn

Columbia barely seen here and there
through the trees.
And the dairy! It was really the
object of the visit. Relief, pure and
unadulterated that . at last, in the vi
cinity of Portland bad been found a
dairy with cows not harassed by flies,
with stalls not floored with filth, with
the fetid barn odor gratefully absent
this was the first. sensation.
Dairy Can Be Clean.
Mr. Thompson, be it understood,
started last spring to develop a theory.
It being that a dairy can be at once
clean and profitable. He did not, there
fore, buy expensive equipment (and this
Is a first point to be noted), but' pro
vided no article not essential . to the
work. He built a barn, red painted out
side, whitewashed within. He caused
the rows of cow stalls to be reversed

Another wins; of the barn from that
occupied by the cows holds the hav and
the feed. Talking about feed, It was
not possible, look as one might, to find
fermenting malt such as was found dur
ing Inspections at dairies otherwise san
itary. So, lacking feed racks overhead.
Ban Xaslly Cleaned. -
It waa very evident that thla kind of
a barn can be more easily kept clean
than allowed to be dirty. The supposi
tion was verified by the man In charge,
George Bacon, who said heartily:
'"Why, It's much easier to be clean
than dirty. We save money, because
the cows don't get sick. Then a man
has more respect for himself when he
knows everything about him is clean."
uieaitr simple, cneap; tnese woras
should attach to the memory In recall

man might not imitate to his advan-J
peclally to the health of the cows is
the fact that they are turned out each
night after milking into a stable yard.
In this way they are not headbound for
long in the stanchion and they get
free opportunity for exercise.
Now for a look at the cows, then a
trip to the tnUkhoua. A printed slip
with a government check -mark showed
that every cow had been tested for tu
berculosis, and every one marked
healthy. "Why," said Mr. Thompson, "I
wouldn't have a cow that hadn't been
tested for the tuberculin rea'ctlon on
my premise for anything. She can

Washington, Sept 18. It Is now the
talk of political weather seers that the
Pinchot-Balllnger storm Is more than
likely to blow overboard not only Chief
Forester Plnchot, but even Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, from the ship
or state.
With United States Treasurer Treat
severed from the public service the dis
placement of the venerable cabinet
member would be only another step
in tne cnanging oi tne tooseveu re
gime.
Certain politicians profess to see in
tnese changes tne ruirmment or certain
promises that might have been made
by Mr. Hithcock, who managed the last
f residential campaign. Many a Washi
ngton official is secretly quaking and
wondering where the Taft lightning
will next strike "my policies."
Wilson Is undoubtedly a faat and firm
friend of Plnchot. and both he and Pln
chot are fast friends of Roosevelt and
his policies. Ordinarily, if a member of
the president's cabinet should come home
after a trip out went and find that his
friend and ally. Plnchot. who is fishing
on an Island in California, had been be
labored, so to speak, by wireless tele
graph messages from the president, that
the secretary would state boldly that
Plnchot deserved rebuke, or he would
II y to the defense. But Mr. Wilson haa
said nothing. The rumor bere is that
becretary V Uson, who approved Pln-
cnot s acts aa enter rorester. has him
self been hit by the bolt that struck his

On my part, on the other hand, who
knew Cook very well, the news did not
come as any surprise. The man waa en

Cook was born on June 10, 1864, in Cal
licoon, Sullivan county. New York. His
parents cam from Hamburg, Germany-,
to America, about 18S0. where his father
settled down aa a surgeon. Ia 1191 Cook
nimseir becanta a surgeon. Tne same
year he went an Pearv'a aw r addition to
Greenland. As sure eon In this expedi

polar explorer. ,
Later orl I had an opportunity to
speak with the young Norwegian. El

Peary expedition on the aledge trio
through the Inland ice of Greenland.
From him I rot a most distinct Imnren.
slon that the expedition of Peary owed
lta good results to Cook In a very hlo-h
degree.

This was Cook's matriculation in nnlnr
exploration. La tar on he made other
trips to polar region, but It was not
until six years later that I got to know
him more closely and concluded a friend-

it was also ana particularly as a prac
