Having boon asked by the teachers of our Summer school to make a report through your paper in regards to our Summer school work, I kindly ask that you allow mo space in your widely read journal to speak of the same.

S, principal of the Whittamoro (1 raded school of Conway, as our instructor. The work was begun with very Mattering indications, and there was an unusual interest manifested on the part of the teachers which lusted until t lie end. Arithmetic, algebra, and grammcr were the studies taken up. The vision of Sir Launfal and Knoch A rden were also read and discussed with great interest. At the calling of the roll each morning the teachers responded with unotations. Cur rent literature was also one of the prime features of our institute, and Prof. Lcvullio spared no pains in laying great stress upon the same, and many of the teachers have decided to read more than they have heretofore been doing. All the teachers expressed themselves as bavin# boon much benefit ed by attend in# the Summer school. During our sessions, we were favored with a very fine and eloquent address by our County Superintendent of Education, Mr. Prince, which was much enjoyed by those who heard him. Mr. Prince is well fitted for his position, and for a talk to teachers lie' feels at home. In short, our institute was a success and Prof. Lovallie's talks - 'from time to time were always very timely.

I HEED OKOUNTRY, Triumph of Democratic Principles Is Imperative. THE MAN AND THE HOUR. With tho Nomination of John A. Johnson, Progressive Democrat of Integrity, Ability and Achievement, Success Is Assured. Wearied of twelve years of overwhelming defeat In national elections, during which time the party has lost national political control of every northern state and has witnessed devastating Inroads even on the southern states, hundreds of thousands of Democratic voters have In the lust few months asked, "Who Is the man who can load the party to victory?" The best of armies, military or political, require some measure of success to maintain their spirit and cfllclcncy. Continuous and overwhelming defeat oven In the worthiest of causes disheartens the strongest men. Conditions arc such In this year IPOS that a united Democracy supporting a strong presidential nominee can win the presidential oflleo and open the way for a return of tho Democratic party to power. Not only do the hest interests of tho Democratic party call for a victory this year, but so also do Hw? l.nul tli.. W? 11...? M' 1.. i >7v?h mivi vmn wi illv i ill I lull, ? l?l \ V years of almost unopposed government of the republic by one party and Cor eight of those years practically by one man have brought about conditions that are repugnant to the elllclent and satisfactory administration of a government supposedly of the people. Principle With Victory. Victory can bo achieved this year without sacrificing one lota of flu; stand for principle that has boot) made with so much sacrifice by the Democratic party of the United States for the last dozen years, it Is merely a , question of changing leadership. Three times in succession our party has go no 1 to defeat because Its leadership has not been able to Inspire confidence In i the masses of fho voters, patriotic, progressive and sincere as that leadership has unquestionably been. The party Is greater than Its Individual membership and greater than Its leaders. The time has come when It should name its leader in a presidential campaign and no longer permit itself to be defeated by a sentimental, though liorolc, devotion to a great name that has dominated It for a dozen years. If in the ranks of the party there is a man whose principles, whoso party fealty, whoso success in political battles, whoso actual achievements In legislation and statesmanship?and a man holding a commanding political situation?are such that victory under his leadership is indicated, Is it not the duty of reasonable, thoughtful, dovoted Democrats desiring the success of their party to turn to him? Johnson the Man. Tho friends of Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota, who have watched Ids remarkable career la recent years, as well as Impartial observers and journalists throughout tho country, believe that he Is the man of the hour, tho man In every way equipped to make a successful campaign and afterward to be a chief executive of the highest order. Let us brlelly review his career. John A. Johnson was born in Rt. rotor, Nicollet county, Minn., July 2ft, 18(51, of Swedish parents. Ills childhood and youth were passed In great poverty. At thirteen years of ago ho was compelled to leave the public schools of his native city In order to support himself and the parental family. Though Ids formal education was thus early cut short, Ids self education never stopped. A student at all times, a wide reader and a thoughtful one, Mr. Johnson, after some years of obscure toil as a drug and grocery clerk and railway timekeeper, became at tho age of twenty-four editor of the Rt. Peter Herald. He soon became known as one of the ablest of Minnesota journalists and was recognized as one of the leaders of journalism in a stato romarkablo for the number, vigor and Influence of Its periodical press. As a country editor ho was gradually drawn Into politics and In 1808 was elected a member of the senate of tho Minnesota legislature, and his first public political work was as a member of that body. Prom the first he was identified with various reform measures which have Since become law In Minnesota. Wherever Governor Johnson has gone he has Impressed men as being a man of tho Lincoln typo. IIo has tho faculty of making many friends and few enemies. Qovcrnor Johnson's Legislative Results The governor recommended a per- i manent tax commission. The legislature gave It to him, and tho Ink was tinrdly dry on tho document before ho i ippointed n commission so slrong In Its personnel that the Republican sen- < Ue resolved by a rising vote to conlrm the appointments without delay, i while tlie equally Republican house, hough without the power of conftrina- i Ion, expressed by a rising vote Its ap- l evolution of the excellence of the gov- < >rnor's appointments. i In northern Minnesota nro tho great- I ?st Iron ore fields In tho world. Tho 1 itato of Minnesota owns oxtenslvo I irons of these lands. Ry leases they 1 vorc largely In tho hands of tho Unit- i ?d States Steel corporation, and the 1 itato was receiving only an Inslgnlfl- i ant lncomo from Its royalties. The t covernor advised tho withdrawal of y ill such lands from mineral lenses, and y ho legislature concnrrod. i Minnesota has enjoyed but scant In- f f I come from tho wealth of tho privately owned lion mines. Tho governor recommended ft royalty tax on tho output of these mines. Ilo dhl not got it. Imt tho United States Steel corporation hound itself ns a substitute to establish a $20,000,000 stool plant at Puluth. Tho newly created tax commission, together with the state board of equalization. which precoiled it (the members of which were appointed by Governor Johnson), have in the four years of CJovernor Johnson's administration Increased tho assessed valuation of the steel corporation's iron ore holdings In Minnesota from $32,000,000 to $100,000,000. Tho sleeping car companies of Minnesota had never paid taxes In Minnesota in proportion to their earnings. Tho governor recommended a change In tho system of taxing those companies, and a satisfactory law was en acted. Similarly a rational law as to mortgage taxation was enacted. Railway Regulation. Taking up freight rates, Governor Johnson In a powerful Rpooch so exhaustively and conclusively bared existing unequal and exorbitant rates that tho railway companies voluntarily made a reduction of 10 per cent on grain rates on their lines in northern Minnesota. Ily order yt tho railway commission, re-enforced by subsequent legislation, this voluntary reduction was followed by a horizontal reduction in maximum freight rates of about 13 per cent, and there was created ft now class of merchandise tariff in which the rates wore reduced about 'JO per cent. The railways took these reductions into the United States courts by enjoining tho attorney general of Minnesota from enforcing the law. Tills action lias opened up some of the most Important litigation involving constitutional interpretation that has come before the supremo court in this generation. The Two Cent Law. The enactment of the two cent passenger tariff law was an example of Governor .Johnson's celerity of action. Invited to address the Minnesota Editorial association, instead of making the usual platitudinous address on such i^cnslous, "he exploded the two cent ilxnnb" and urged that an end be put to the giving of passes. IIo talkod on the same subject to a convention of commercial travelers. Immediately the state was allaino with this innovation in railway legislation. When the legislature met he naked for a law embody* ing this idea, and the legislature quickly responded. Nclghliorlng states followed with reductions, and now throughout tlie middlu northwest the two cent rate prevails. About the time Governor Johnson camo Into otllco there was a widespread agitation for reciprocal demurrage laws which would compel railways to allow shippers demurrage charges for failure to deliver cars on time. Governor Johnson, ever abreast of popular progress, recommended such n In ur niwl I* Thanks to Ills Initiative, the orders of the Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission are now Immediately effective pending appeal. In Defense of Labor. Governor Johnson, In consonance with his thorough democracy and believing In equal rights, has not been neglectful of the Interests of labor. lie desired a free state employment bureau designed to eliminate the many abuses that have marked private employment bureaus In the great labor centers of Minnesota. Such a bureau was created and has lieon thoroughly helpful and widely oOlelent. Slnco time immemorial that relic of feudalism, tho common law doctrine of nonliability of employer to employee for Injuries occurring through the negligence of a fellow servant, has prevailed In Minnesota as well as In many other stales. "Thin undent rule of tho common law," said Governor Johnson, "coupled with the other rule generally referred to as the doctrine of the assumption of risk by employees, has cast upon the Individual laborer a risk and responsibility out of proportion to tho wages he receives." During his term of oflloo Governor Johnson lias had to deal with one great conlllct between labor and capital?namely, tho strike of tho miners 011 tho Minnesota Iron ranges, lly direct personal Intervention, by advice to tho employers on the ono hand and tho strikers 011 tho other, the governor succeeded, without the use of state troops, In preventing violence and bloodshed. In the forests and prairies of northern Minnesota are great extents of fortilo lands which, owing to lack of drainage, have not Ixjon available for cultivation. Thanks to Governor Johnson, additional legislation on this subject was secured, and hundreds of thousands of acres of fertllo land will be added to the rolls of tho state's wealth. Governor Johnson bollovows I11 the inimfpliinl mvnni*oliln nfimi.... r?iul, following his suggestion, n modified form of tho Illinois Mueller Inw was adopted by the Minnesota legislature. Under Its provisions a municipality may bond Its street railways or Dther public utilities to pay tho cost of the purchaso and operation of tho same. Minnesota, a leading agricultural date, has long had to contend with tho cordage trust, which has a practical monopoly of tho binding twine ised in harvesting. For many years tho state has had a twine plant in which prison labor was employed. Tho trust erected a factory In Minnesota ;o competo with tho state innde twine, tnd Governor Johnson's answer was, with tho consent of tho legislature, luthorlzatlon for tho state twino plant :o sell its product outside as well as wltldn the state. Tho cordage trust will now hnvo to light the cheap Mlnlesota stato mndo twino in other states is well ns nt homo. * i a OWNE !S.">0 ff> Pounds Nitrate Soda, 10350 Pounds Muriate* rl * isn.
