It seemed to be the opinion In Min
nesota that he would have been a
fourth time governor of his state.
Thinking national democrats rather
held to the expectation that. If Bryan
or a New York man did not come to
the presidential nomination of hla
party In 1912, Governor Johnson's
availability would have lifted htm to
the position.
Alwava In America It la doubtful
the situation of the Johnson
boyhood is not a high educational ad
vantage. How can a toy learn more
than by "going through the mill?"
What better for mental growth and
character building can he do than de
fend hla mother and provide for her?
Johnson -grew steadily In hla news
paper profession, In legislative prac
tice and in public speaking. Long be
fore his death he was able to meet on
equal terms any man In public life.
Often, since he reached a position
of more than state-wide reputation, he
has been likened to Lincoln. The
spare figure and frleodly manner sup-
j plied the out ward resemblance and the
life of poor boyhood Indomitable de-
termination and plain speech supplied
an additional likeness, yet there was
a wide difference between the back
woods life on the slavery border and
the Swedish-American atmosphere of
Minnesota. The two great Americana
were, after all, not at bottom much
alike. The similarity might have be
come more pronounced with ten or
twelve added years.
Governor Johnson was a son of the
northwest and a natural product In
blood, manner and development. If he
had reached the presidency the nation
would have been proud of his great
ness. English-Speaking Alliance.
In America we have seen Lord
Charles Beresford before, but we do
not know him well enough to have
an opinion on any but the friendly
personal reason which led him to
hope for an English-speaking alli
ance to put an end to unnecessary
strife In the world.
It Is not quite the Beresford we
have known to be alarmed at the
British "unrest" of which publicists
write. Nervousness has a tinge of
alarm and cowardice. Beresford la
not a man to be nervous over the bud
get or whether the lords reject the
bill and dissolve Parliament or not.
There la no precedent for a, rejection
of an Important supply bill sent from
the commons. But the end of the
empire would not come with a Par
liamentary disagreement. Beresford
has little confidence In either the
army's or the navy's preparedness, but
surely he believes In the British ability
to "swim out."
We cannot be sure Just what the
admiral meant by his alliance sug
gestion. In any formal sense It Is
Impossible. It Is not a conclusion at
tainable through diplomatic agree
ment. It cannot follow a natural
course of racial fondness, for there Is
no such thing. We have been slow to
recognize the great service England
performed for us during the Spanish
war. The thousands of Americana
who see London every summer In
crease Inharmony rather than cement
mutual amity. Almost every sporting
vent of an International sort ends in
friction.

newspaper controversy that has gone . i -
by that name haa been stirred tip j In the monetary discussion the
mainly by others thai( the principals ! skilled exponents have reached the
figuring In it.
A studied effort has been made In
certain quarters, mostly hostile to the
administration, to make out. that the
plans for the conservation of our natu
ral resources, outlined during the
Roosevelt regime, had been, or were
about to be, abandoned, and that what
ever policy Mr. Taft should pursue he
would have to dispense with the serv
ices of either Secretary Balllnger or
Chief Forester Pinchot. Mr. Pinchot's
declaration indicates that there Is no
such conflict between the different
branches of the administration that
would prevent them from working In
harmony toward the desired end.
There Is no question that Mr. Taft's
confidence in Secretary Balltnger Is un
shaken, and that he wants him to re
main In the cabinet, and, further
more, that he is In hearty sympathy
with the work under the Jurisdiction
of Chief Forester Pinchot and desires
It to be continued under his able di
rection. In a word, Mr. Tnft wants
the nation to have the benefit of keep
ing both Mr. Balltnger and Mr. Pin
chot In the public service, pulling to
gether In the same direction, carrying
out the conservation policy of the
Roosevelt administration, of which Mr.
Taft, an a member of the cabinet, was
a part, and which he has adopted for
himself.
Both Mr. Balllnger and Mr. Pinchot
have repeatedly declared that there
Is no such antagonism as would pre
vent them from working together, and
their continuance In their respective
positions will be the best proof that
any differences that may exist are of
minor moment.
No Violence.
The street car strike leaders should
Impress It upon themselves, and upon
their followers, that resort to violence
and disorder, no matter what the
provocation, would seriously Jeopar
dize their position In the community,
and before the public generally.
Whether the street car strike now
on can be won by the men must de
pend largely upon good generalship,
but that It canT Tost quickly and Ir
retrievably by lawlessness should be
palpable to all. Omaha has bad strikes
before, some successful and some un
successful, but It has never had a
strike whlcn achieved success through
the assaulting of men or the destruc
tion of property.
At the inception of the strike The
Bee said that the people of Omaha
were in no mood for a street car strike
and regarded the present difficulties
as the result of altogether too precipi
tate action. We are sure we stated
the situation correctly, and can say,
with equal confidence In Its truth, that
the community Is In no mood what
ever for disorderly outbreaks in con
nection with this strike.
When such outbreaks occur strike
leaders usually assert either that they
cannot control their mpn nr that tha
hoodlumIsm ls )nclted by th(J
But blaming resort to violence on one
another would be fruitless. It Is not
excuses we want, nor recrimination,
but prevention.

Tried to Make Good
Jl.
An Ssplaaatloa of ts Derelop
tnant of Ooveraor Jobs A.
Johnson as a kTatlonal rig-nre.
"I Just tried to make good.'' was the
atmple and direct ansaer the late Gov
ernor John A. Johnson of Minnesota once
gave to an Inquisitive group who Imag
ined there w as eome magic In his devel
opment as a force In state and national
politics. There was not a trace of etul
i si inn In the answer It was characteristic
of the strong, plain man. unaffected by
popular suet ess or the adulation of the
multitude. From a humble beginning to
the close of hla 47 years, the last seven s
chief executive of Minnesota, he aturk to
the path hewn by his own efforts, and
"made good'' In every occupation and po
sition. Qovernor Johnson was drilled In th
school of adversity. Poverty was the spur
of his boyhood years, and filial devotion
the Incentive. At the age of 13 young
Johnson wu obliged to take up the bur
den of providing for his mother and sit
children, lie had an Insatiable thirst for
learning, and had already reached high
school; but he made tip his mind that hla
mother had done the work of the family
long enough. He sought a place In a gen
eral store. The man to whom he applied
said: "Mrs. Johnson's boy can have a Job
here If I have to quit myself." After that
day his mother did no more work for
hire.
How the family lived on the meager
earnings of the boy was known only to
the breadwinner and his mother. He spent
months trying to get employment In a drug
tore. The Job there would pay aa much
money aa he obtained for the manifold
jobs he did around the general store.
He pumped the bellows In the blacksmith
shop which hla father had owned. Once
a week he was employed with Inking the
roller of the press in the local prlntshop.
He anticipated the rural route service by
carrying mat) and newspapers to outly
ing house.
Fventually securing the coveted drug
store Job, he absorbed auch wisdom aa fell
from the mouths of the oracles that gath
ered round the barrel stove of the estab
lishment. He worked four years and
studied books behind the prescription case
and men In front of It. He wanted to
take a course In pharmacy, but there was
always the family to take care of. The
ordinary expenses of the household ate up
everything. Then, when death came, aa It
did three times during the minority of the
future governor, there were heart-breaking
times. It ls recorded that the only
credit the Johnsons ever arcepted after
John became ita head was from the un
dertaker, and for five years that gloomy
personasre, by reaaon of the three funerals,
took what might be pinched out of the
money needed for the living expenses of
the family.-
It was to meet this extraordinary de
mand on him that young Johnson put
aside his ambition to study pharmacy, and
took a place In a general store, where the
work was harder but the wages higher
Put he was not. to be thwarted In his
desire. He worked In the general store
only long enough to get even with the
! world, then went back to the druggist and
; managed by some means to obtain a cer
tificate, and registered under the s'ate law.
"My certificate was No. 13," he said,
"but I never believed much In hoodoos."
! At times he got an Idea that he might
!do better away from St. Peter. He was
tempted once by the promise of higher
wages, to take a position in Iowa,
He d d not remain there long, only a few
months. At another time he was made
, "tsint paymaster by a firm of railroad !
contractors. He earned 175 a month, and
was enabled to lift the mortgage that hla
father had left over the cottage. An ad
dition to the house was built, and the sur
viving brother and sister were educated.
Later be was offered a half Interest In
the St. Peter Herald, together with Its
editorship. H. J. Essler, who wanted him
l""' " '"-'. Mini inn ins piani
eou,? be 'or the debt which he
would Incur, and that It was not an obli
gation that would embarrass him.
So John A. Johnson became a democratic
editor of a country weekly In a territory
fiercely republican. He continued to make I
good. He wrote with the directness that I
characterised his speeches. He did not i
write much, but what he wrote was to j
the point. In five year he waa secretary
jof the State Press association. In three
jyeara more he was president of that organ- i
Ixatlon.
I Twice Johnson ran for office as state
'senator and was defeated. The third time'
jhe ran he waa elected. "There la nothing
like not knowing when to quit," aald the I
j governor In telling about It. 1
In the aenate he was popular and Influ-
entlal. though a member of the minority.

! "I cannot," he replied. !
The allegations were true, but he met I
