A MAN OF GOOD SENSE Our Washington dispatches have predicted that a ‘'boom" for Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, would be launched within a month, provided he would consent to the use of his name. Like Governor Hughes, of New York, Governor Johnson is not bothering himself about the future. It is even doubted whether he will permit his name to be used in connection with the Democratic nomination. It is said that he wll certainly refuse to become a candidate against Mr. Bryan, and that he will not allow himself to be made the candidate of any faction of the party. He no doubt feels, as many others feel, that if the Democrats do not get together very soon they never will get togeher. But without reference to what the future may have in store for this man, and judging him solely on the record that he has thus far made, it must be said of him that he is in every way worthy of the respect and confidence of his party and of all the people.

j Governor Johnson is a reformer, dnd I yet he is at the same time a man of good sense and sound judgment, leaning perhaps a little to the conuservative side. He has been confronted with the same situation as that faced by Governors Glenn and Comer, but he has not indulged in any violent talk, or threatened to resist the process of the courts of the nation. Minnesota’s interests will be as well protected as those of the two southern st. tes in Which such an outcry has been raised. There is nothing spectacular about Johnson. He is a plain man whose only aim is to do his duty. His honesty is above reproach, and his ability is good. It is not surprising that many Democrats should be looking to him as the man to lead their party out of the wilderness. He has "made good" as an executive officer. He is a genuine Democrat, both 'in creed and life. He is popular in jhis own state and throughout the northwest, as is shown by his carrying ; Minnesota in the very year in which i Mr. Roosevelt was elected. Minesota i cast her vote for Rosevelt and Johnson. Finally he represents no faction, and is involved in none of the | quarrels which have so long distracted | the party. We should say that, with I Bryan out of it, Johnson's chances j would be bright. —Indianapolis News. Not one man in 500 pictures his future w’ife in the surroundings of the ordinary girl. Where is the Adam who dreams of meeting his Eve short of skirt and strong of arm, in the hockey field, or striding over the turf I with a golf ball; or plunging madly [after a tennis ball? Au contraire, he [pictures her clad in "something soft , and clinging,” a being more angel than woman, who, as a daily companion, would undoubtedly prove the most withering bore a man could be cursed with.

BAR RESOLUTIONS In Memory of Attorney C. M. France SHOW HIGH ESTEEM In Which the Deceased Pioneer Lawyer Was Held by His Former Associates. The esteem in which Attorney C. 'M. France was held by the members of the Adams county bar. is told in the following resolutions by the committee appointed to draft same: Whereas, the members of the Adams County Bar have learned with profound sorrow of the death of Charles M. France, at Van Wert, Van Wert county, state of Ohio, he being at the time of his death, a member of this bar, one of the oldest of this body, and a pioneer practitioner of the courts of this county. For the past several years he had discontinued the practice of law and the last few years had resided in a sister state, but he continued a keen interest in the welfare of the courts of Adams eounty, and delighted in relating the history of the administration of the laws in Adams county in the pioneer days. Those who knew’ him best, recognized in him a lawyer of much natural ability; they knew him as a man of tireless energy, and unyielding faithfulness to his clients; he was of sunny disposition and jovial manner, of kindly spirit and generous of heart. Daily contact with him could not help but leave an imprint on the tablets of the memories of his associates, his many good and amiable qualities. Therfore. Be it resolved, That the bar of Adams county deplore his death, but recognize that man is born to die and death, is but a part of our Creator's plan, and Be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the widow of the deceased, that a page of the Order Book of the Adams Circuit Court be set apart and dedicated to the memory of our deceased brother, on which page these resolutions shall be copied in full. Respectfully submitted, J. W. TEEPLE, D. B. ERWIN, DAVID E. SMITH, Committee. o — Devonshire Terrace.
