/ GOVERNOR JOHNSON, OF MINNESOTA, DEAD Hs Struggled From Poverty to ~ Eminence. CHIEF EXECUTIVE THREE TIMES The Son of a Itlaeksmilh, He Rose Rapidly to Re a National Figure and Prospective Presidential Candidate. Rochester, Minn.— Governor John A. Johnson died as the result of an operation performed several days be fore. The end came peacefully. Mrs. Johnson and other members of the family being at the bedside. The life story of John A. Johnson [Is one of the most engrossing tales of men who have struggled from pov- lerty to eminence. For several years [he has been a national figure, having [fought his way to this position from [from an unencouraging start. Johnson, thrice elected Governor if Minnesota, was the son of a pau- |per. His father, who came from iNfiden a short time before the birth |bf the future Governor, was a black smith, but died in a poor house. H4s mother, desiring to give her son an education, took in washing. Johnson was born In St. Peters, Eton., on July 28, 1861. In the ime town, thirteen years later, he >ok up the task of supporting his [Family. For a time he worked in a rocery, and then got a job in a drug ire. He was studious, but also dis mayed, even in his early youth, a leep interest in affairs about him. le took an active part in the affairs if the town, eventually becoming ed itor of its newspaper. On June 1. [894, he married Elinor Preston, a foung drawing teacher. In the same fear he was defeated when he ran for the State Senatorship. Four [rears later he won the office, but at [he expiration of his term, in 1902, ras again defeated. This was fortu- Jiate for him, however, as, had he keen elected, he would have been in- [llgible for the governorship. In 1904 Johnson was elected Gov- |rnor for the first time. Although Democrat in a Republican State |e ran 92,000 ahead of his ticket, le was re-elected in 1906 and 1908. fhile at the head of the State gov- Irnment he made a name as a re- irmer. It was he who brought |bout the model insurance law which fas fostered by Roosevelt. In 1908 Governor Johnson was lentioned prominently as a possible landldate for President, and prob ably was the closest contestant of tllliam Jennings Bryan for the Dem- iratic nomination. Governor Johnson. In the last two lears of his life, was regarded as a |eyeloplng nat.onal figure. Colonel Henry Watterson intro- luced him to the Democrats in 1907 one worthy of their votes for president. His present term as Gov- Irnor was generally understood to |ave been a preliminary movement in definitely formed plan which con- implated sending him to the Sen ile upon its conclusion in 1910, and follow this by urging his name [pon the next national convention of le Democrats in 1912.

He drew up and ha4 a drink. Then, spying me, he said: ** 'W har ye from, stranger?* “ 'Richmond,1 said I, “ 'Not good old Richmond, Va.?* he exclaimed. “ ‘Yes,’ said I; 'do you know It?' \ ’Know It?', he shouted. ‘Know it?

Everyone who admires the stately trees of the old New England towns — a nd who does not?— will be grati fied to know t h a t tree planting Is be ing carried on systematically on the Massachusetts roads. The report of E. W. Breed, forester of the State Highway Commission, shows that during the year ending November 30, 1908, 1184 new trees were planted and 744 old trees were replaced. During the preceding five years, 13,- 113 trees had been distributed among fifty-five towns. . The cost in 1908 of new trees averaged $1.29 each, and the average cost of maintenance w a s f twenty cents per tree.— Scientific American, A Diminishing Audience. *T hope,\ said the captain, a d d r e ss ing the passengers on a small coaster, \that we all twenty-five will have a pleasant trip.\ The soup then ap peared. \I trust, too, that we-er- twenty-four will reach port bene fited by the voyage, and, as I look upon you-er-twenty-two smiling faces I am sure this group of-er-seventeen will be a happy family.

It won’t cost you a penny to reach out a helping hand to a great army of honest, hard-working and deserving men and women. Just your moral support will insure work, a living, and comforts which are now either partly or wholly de nied them. How so? Come on, let’s have a look. You’ve often been importuned and many have been commanded by ad vertisement or otherwise to “refuse to buy anything unless It bears the union label.\ Looks harmless on its face, doesn’t it? It really is a “ d e mand” that you boycott the products made by over 80 per cent, of our American working men and women, who decline to pay fees to, and obey the dictates of the union leaders. It demands that you ask the mer chant for articles with the “union label,” thus to Impress him with its importance. It seeks to tell you what to buy and what to refuse. The demands are sometimes most insolent, with a “ holier than th o u ” impudence. It demands that you take away the living of this 80 per cent, of American workingmen and women. Is t h a t clear? Why should a small body of work men ask you to help starve the l arger body? There must be some reason for the \union label” scheme. Run over in your mind and remem ber how they carry on their work. During a discussion about working or striking in the coal regions, about 25,000 men preferred to work, they had wives and babies to feed. The union men said openly in their con vention that if the employers didn’t discharge these men they (the union men) would kill them. So they dynamited about a dozen homes, maimed and crippled women and children and brutally assaulted scores of these Independent workers. The big boys of the union men were taught to pound the school children of the independent men. How would you like to have your little girl short ly grown from the toddling baby who used to sit on your lap and love “Dad dy” pounded by some big bullies on her way home from the school where she had gone to try and please Daddy by learning to read? The little bruised face and body would first need tender care while you ponder the inscription writ deep in your heart, by that Master and Guide to all human compassion, “Inasmuch as ye have done It unto one of the least of these My brethren ye have done It unto Me.” Then perhaps you would drop to your knees and pray Almighty God for strength in your right arm to strike one manly and powerful blow for baby’s sake, even if you went to death for i t ' Helpless children were brought home, with faces black or bleeding from the blows and kicks of these fiends, teaching independent Ameri cans t h a t they must stop work when told and pay fees to the leaders of “labor.” Thousands of men, women and children have been treated thus. From somewhere. Oh, Father of us all, we try to believe t h a t You look with pitying eyes upon these brutal blows, cuts and scars on the many human bodies made in your likeness and image. _ They are beautifully and wonder fully made, each the dwelling place of a Divine Soul. Is it Your wish that they be crushed by iron shod heels, cut by knives or torn asunder by bullets and dyna mite? May we venture to think that a long suffering patience is extended in the hope that the men and women of America may some day wake to a realization of the awful cruelties per petrated by this spirit of oppression and that they will some time learn the lesson t h a t the “sacred gift of hu man freedom and liberty\ was given by God and must be defended even to death Itself. Our forefathers were used by the Infinite God to establish our freedom In 177 6. and our fathers gave freely of their blood and treasure to estab lish the freedom .of the black. Now again It seems we are called upon to protect our brothers and ourselves from that old time spirit.of tyranny which comes up from time to time to force people to obey t y rannous rules and bend the knee of the slave. In Wellston, Ohio, thirty Amer icans sought employment in a factory. They were seeking to earn food for their families. They were bombarded by rocks and pounded with clubs In the hands of union men. One of the injured, John Branni- ban, was taken to the city hospital with a broken jaw, crushed skull and Other cuts and bruises. He was the fatHer of two children, and was thought to be dying. Perhaps he did. I don’t know, but I sometimes wonder what the children said to Mother when “ P a p y ” didn’t come home, and how they and the little woman got any food, and how they could place their wrongs before their own Amer ican fellows. Mayhap sometime some kind per son will equip a home where the or phans and widows of the victims of the Labor Trust may be cared for and fed. It would take a big home. It has been said there were 31 Americans, many of them fathers, killed in one strike, (the teamsters in Chicago) and over 5000 maimed, many for life. T h a t ’s only one “ lesson” of these bullies. There are literally thousands of cases wherein your fellow Amer ican has been assaulted, maimed or killed by these men. The same work is going on day by day. Suppose you make a practice of picking out each day from the papers, accounts of bru tality to American workingmen who prefer to work free from the impu dence and tyranny of self constituted leaders (?) than to be always subject to their beck and call, pay them fees and be told by them when and where to work, and for whom. You will discover the same general conditions underlying all these daily attacks. In every case the workingman pre fers to be free. He has that right. He then tries to go to work. He and his family sorely need the money for food or he wouldn’t run the risk of his life. Many such a man has wiped the tears away and quieted the fears of a loving wife, left with a kiss on her Bps, set his manly jaw and walked Into a shower of stones and bullets to win food for the loved mother and babies. A good many have been brought home on stretchers with blood oozing from nose and ears, some cold, while some gradually recover, and carry for life the grim marks of the “ union label.\ They are your fellows, my friends, and yet you supinely read the ac counts and say “too bad.” Have you grown so calloused that you care nothing for the sufferings of these men who need food and these helpless ones who rely on the life and strength of husband and father? Let us hope t h a t soon you may be moved by a just God to rir^^to your might and by voice and pen, by vote and right arm you will do a m a n ’s part in protecting yourselves and your brothers from this onslaught on American citizens. This cruel war fare is carried on not always to raise wages, but to establish union con trol, kick out the independent men and establish the “label.” Unfortunately the “ Labor move ment\ which started many years ago honestly enough, has fallen under control of a lot of tyrannical, vicious “ men of violent tendencies.\ There are too many to attempt to name. You can recall them. They include men who have planned the murders of miners, teamsters, press men and carpenters, shoemakers and independent workmen of all kinds. Many of them have escaped hanging by an outraged public only because juries became terror stricken and dared not convict them. Some have been punished slightly and some, including the principal offi cers of this nefarious crew are now under sentence to imprisonment but have appealed their cases. Right here some apologist rises to protest against “speaking thus of laboring men.\ Bless your dear heart. It Isn’t the honest and real workman who does these things, it Is the excitable ones and the toughs and thugs who d o n ’t work except with their mouths, but have secured control of too many unions. I don't even at tempt to specify the criminal acts these persons have assisted or winked at in their plan for destroying free workingmen and forcing men to stay to “the union\ and hence under t h e ir controL The newspapers for the past 7 years contain almost daily accounts of the criminal, lawless and tyranni cal acts against American citizens and haven't told half the tale. Right here it becomes necessary to say for the ten thousandth time that there are scores of honest, law-abiding union men who deplore and are in no way responsible for the long infamous rec ord of the “Labor T r u s t ” under its present management, but they don’t seem to stop it. The men who manage, who pull the strings and guide the policy have made the record and it stands, as made by them. Examine, if you please, the record of a string of members of the Amer ican Federation of Labor and you will view a list of crimes against Amer icans, stupendous beyond belief. They defy the laws, sneer at the courts, incite mobs and are avowed enemies of the peaceable citizens of all classes. This band wields an iron bar over their subjects and drives them to idleness whenever they want to call a strike or exact extra pocket money for themselves. Men don’t want to be thrown out of work and lose their livelihood, but w'hat can they do when the slugging and murdering committee stands al ways ready to “do t h e m ” if they try to work. The poor women and helpless chil dren suffer and no one dares present their case to the public. They must suffer in silence for they have no way to right their wrongs, while the no toriety-seeking leaders carry out their work. These men cannot thus force op pression on the weak and Innocent or use them to bring newspaper notice to themselves and money to their pock ets unless they can “ hold them in 1 ine. ” Therefore, with the craft of the fox and venom of the serpent they devise the “union label” and tell the public to buy only articles carrying that label. Smooth scheme isn’t it? They extract a fee from every union man, and in order to get these monthly fees, they must hold the workers in “tho union” and force manufacturers to kick out all Inde pendent men. Can anyone devise a more com plete and tyrannical trust? If allowed full sway, no independ ent man could keep working in a free factory, for the goods wouldn’t sell, no matter how perfectly they be made. Then, when the factory has been forced to close and the employes get hungry enough from lack of wages the workers must supplicate the Union leaders to be ’’allowed” to pay their fines (for not becoming mem bers before) and pay their monthly fees to the purse-fat managers of the Labor T r u s t Thereupon (under or ders) before the factory be allowed to start they must force the owners of the business to put on the “ union label” or strike, picket the works, and t u r n themselves into sluggers and criminals towards the independent workers who might still refuse to bend the knee and bow the head. In the meantime babies and moth ers go hungry and shoeless, but who cares. The scheming leaders are trained to talk of the “ uplifting of la bor” and shed tears when they speak of the “brotherhood of man,” mean ing the brotherhood of the “Skinny Maddens,” “Sheas,” \Gompers et al., always excluding the medium or high-grade independent workers. Perhaps you have noticed lately that the makers of the finest hats, shoes and other articles have stopped putting on the union label. Natural ly the Labor Trust managers have or dered their dupes to strike, lie idle, scrap, fight, slug and destroy proper ty to force the makers to again put on “the label.” But for some reason the buying public has been aroused to the insults and oppression behind it, and in thousands of cases have re fused to buy any article carrying, what some one named the “ tag of ser vitude and oppression.” The bound and gagged union slave Is fined from $5.00 to $25.00 if he buys any article not bearing the “ union label.” Nevertheless, he, time and again, risks the penalty and buys “ free” goods simply in order to help the fellow workingman who Is brave enough to work where he pleases without asking permission on bended knees from the bulldozing leaders who seek by every known method of oppression and bate to govern him. Along If these poor wageworkers will | of certain workmen to ‘organize?* thus brave fine and slugging to help out other men who seek to live a free life under our laws and constitution cannot you, reader, help a little? Will you reach out a hand to help an independent workman earn food for his wife and babies? Or will you from apathy and carelessness allow him to be thrown out of work ana the helpless suffer until they pros trate themselves before' this stupen dous and tyrannical aggregation of leeches upon honest American labor? The successor of Henry Ward Beecher in Plymouth Church, Brook lyn, says: \Union labor hatred for labor burns like a flame, eats like nitric acid, is malignant beyond all descrip tion. But the other day, a woman representing a certain union visited many families in Plymouth Church asking them to boycott a certain in stitution. * * • Alas, this union woman's hatred for non-union women burned in her like the fires of hell.” She was pitilessly, relentlessly and tirelessly pursuing the non-union women and men to destroy tht- mar ket for goods, to ruin their factory and to starve them out. In the French Revolution only 2 per cent, of the French people be lieved in violence. The 98 per cent, disclaimed violence and yet the 9S per cent, allowed the 2 per cent, to fill the streets of Paris with festering corpses, to clog the Seine with dead bodies, to shut up every factory in Paris, until the laboring classes starved by the score. The small per cent, element in the Labor Trust which hates and seeks to destroy the large per cent, of inde pendent Americans sends out letters declaring \free” industries unfair and ; own workmen? Oh, yes, brother, when real workmen manage wisely and peacefullly, but I would challenge the right of even a church organization when its nffalra had been seized by a motley crew of heartless, vicious men who stepped industries, incited mobs to attack citi zens and destroy property in order to establish their control of communi ties and affairs, and subject every one to their orders and exact the fees. When you see work of this kind being done call on or write the prosecuting officers of your district and demand procedure under the Sherman an11«‘ trust law, and prosecution for con spiracy and restraint of trade. We have the law, but the politicians and many of our officers even while draw\ ing pay from the people are afraid to enforce it in protection of our citi zens. and now the big Labor Trust is moving heaven and earth to repeal tlie law so their nefarious work may be more safely carried on. Rut You. Why ‘don’t you strike out and demand defense for your fel lows? Put your prosecuting officers to t h e test and Insist that they do their sworn duty, and protest to your Con gressmen and legislators against the repeal of the Sherman Anti-Trust law. Its repeal is being pushed by the La bor j rust and some big capital t r u s t s in order to give each more power to oppress. Do your duty and protest. In this great American Republic every one must be jealous of the r i g h t of individual liberty and always and ever resent the attempts made to gain power for personal aggrandizement. Only the poor fool allows his lib erty to be wrested from him. Some one asks “ how about your tries to boycott their products. If they could bind every one it would bring suffering upon hundreds of thousands, immeasurable ruin upon the country, and land it absolutely under control of the men now at tempting to dictate the daily acts of our people and extract from each a monthly fee. There are babies, children, women and honest, hard-working and skill ful fathers who rely upon the protec tion of their fellows, when they seek to sell their labor where they choose, when they choose, and for a sum they believe it to be worth. Every citizen having the rights, privileges and protection of a citizen has also the responsibility of a citizen. The Labor Trust leaders may suavely “ request” (or order those they can) to buy only \union label” I didn t intend to speak of my own affairs, but so long as the question is almost sure to be asked I don’t mind telling you. The Postum workers are about a thousand strong, men and women, and don't belong to labor unions. The Labor Trust has, time without num bers, sent “organizers” with money to give \smokers etc., and had t h e ir “orators” declaim the “ brotherhood of m a n ” business, and cry salty t e a r s describing the fearful conditions ot the ’’slaves of capital” and all t h a t But the “confidence game” nevep worked, for the decent and high grade Postum workers deceive 10 per cent, over the regular wage scale.
