The death of tioMTiior Johnson tias
liaused a pang of regret turmignnui
Iho nation. Hi ltC. story would read
I ke a romance In any country ext . -pi
AmerUa. still ihe land of equal op
portunlty. where Industry may over
come poverty and natural ability
welsh far more than social position
and advantage. Johnson1 boyhood
was i;rrouitded by the direst poverty,
hi fa'her a worthless drunkard, com
pelling the boy mother to work over
the washtub In order to support her
children, until the future governor
was old enough to take up the bur
deu of labor himself. And yet this
man, of foreign parentage. became
governor of tils tate In the early
thirties, won distinction and power,
and gained the respect of the entire
nation, without the assistance ot
....aithv nr Influential friends, and
without resorting to the methods of
the demagogue. Hi was a typical
American career, ending all too soon,
and bringing a touch of sorrow to po
litical friend and foe alike, who feel
that his death is. a national bereave
ment. At the time of his death, he
was still a young man who gaveprom
Ise of great usefulness to the plain
people one of whom he still remained
although by force of ability and lnteg
rlty he had thrice been elected to the
governorship of a great state.

monster political, machine that it
would eclipse ail other boss rule ev

-about time for the republicans who
went crazy over the U'Ren fallacies
to regain their senses and adhere
Btrictly to representative government.
The election in New York city in
