"My wife," mark you, not "Mrs. Johnson," as now and then a $10-a- week stlpendary might have Bald when it came t'me to fetch his better half into the conversation, and she did all the housework herself until her successful husband got to be the governor! We have heard of public men who did not put on any airs, but never until now of a great state's governor so frank and unconceallng as this man in his allusion to the days of quiet home life and economy in St.

Paul, not many years after John A. Johnson had risen enough in the world to emancipate his mother from the dog's life of a public washerwoman. Only one really promi nent man ever made an admission any thing like this one of Johnson and this man, come to think of it, turns out to be a woman. Mrs. Daniel Lamont, wife of Cleveland's war secretary, once let a woman society reporter in Washington quote her about like this: "I never was so happy In all my life as when 1 cooked my own food, swept my own floors, made my own beds, and Dan got a thousand a year." The great independent labor voto.

which is steadily cutting away from all party bindings and alignments, Is going to decide the presidential contest this year. There is not a man in the United States who can command so emphatic a majority of this vote as John A. Johnson man who started on earth as poor as the poorest of them and, now that he has become politically conspicuous if not financially independent, is not too stuck up to talk about the days when he paid house rent and saw the partner of his privations and ambitions cook the family's, dinner, and wash the dishes at the family's sink. This man is democratic In temperament as well as democratic in his political faith. GROWTH OF COLLEGE.

The Times has received a copy of the new A. ft M. catalogue, a weii-priniea book of 150 pages, containing the -usual class rolls, announcements and other information about the college. The total enrollment this year, exclusive of the May teachers' institute, Is 455, dis tributed as follows Graduate stu dents 14, seniors 53, Juniors 77, sopho mores 105, freshmen 112, two-year (short course) students 59, one year agricultural students 11. special students 9, winter course students 11, students in one-week agricultural course 4." the students in the May institute are counted In, the enrollment for the year is 46S.

The most important improvements made since June, 1907. are the general repairs to the building, the installation of a foundry in the old power house. and the provision of a tlrst class power plant. AH of these add greatly to the efficiency and comfort of the entire col Congress has died hard this trip, but he nation's lawmakers do actually quit tomorrow. Then Uncle Joe Cannon can go to Danville to give all his time to the boom that failed to boom.

And other congressmen can give yet closer attention to their upwelllng po litical aspirations. The Hon. Bill Kitchtn, for instance, one of the gen tlemen from North Carolina. Col. Horne still continues to be a cheerful third In the great North Caro lina race that Is being made by three.

And he keeps advertising. The colonel believes In printer's Ink for the man with office-holding desires. That, whether he gets the nomination or loses it, makes him an interesting candidate to the newspapermen.

CRAIG STILL GAINING. a Craig supporters in the three-cornered contest for- the gubernatorial nomination have felt very well for some weeks back along, and, as the result of Saturday's voting in seven new counties! all regarded as neutral territory and, therefore, fairly indicative of the Ultimate result, the manager of the Buncombe man's canvass is wearing the smile that can't be amputated and the Craig men all along the line Consider their man so near to the nomination that nothing but a miracle can bring about the selection of Congressman KItchin or Col. Home.

Mr. Craig carried Catawba. Pender, Davie, Pamlico and Duplin. These were not essentially Craig counties by virtue of geographical location, and the claim of the antl-Craig men that on neutral ground Congressman KItchin would make greater gains than Mr. Craig has not been made good.

Mr. Craig's lead Is 61 and a fraction, very good in consideration of the tremendous efforts the KItchin men and the Home men have been making to carry counties outside the Craig end of the state and thereby make it appear that the Buncombe man had no general strength around the state. It seems that the democrats of North Carolina recognize the fitness and the excellent public record of Mr. Craig and believe he should be the next governor of the Tarheel state. There is every reason to believe he will be.

PEANUT BUSINESS, THIS. We have not heard anybody else say a word of opinion about it, but to us it looks pretty small business for those Methodist preachers and laymen in convention assembled at Baltimore to raks up Dr. Goodell's divorce affair of year's and years gone to besmut the reverend gentleman's standing with the good folk of his denomination and rob him, perchance, of the bishopric for which he is admitted to have both temperament and" tulent. But wait a day or two for the reaction. The Amer lean people.

In the church and out of It, whether they admit the fact or not. do dearly love a bit of scandal. Take, for instance; one little dirty insinuation that crept Into the Blaine-Cleveland campaign and gave Mr. Cleveland the chance of a lifetime with his little slogan, "Tell the truth."

The anti-prohibitionists have conducted a clean campaign from the start, more than the Salisbury representative of the Raleigh paper can say for himself. 1 A. 11. BOYDEN. Salisbury, May 24.

GOOD WORD FOR MOORE. Editor of The Times. Through your widely-circulated paper, I wish to call the attention of your many readers to the caml'dacy of Mr. Charles C. Moore for the position of commissioner of agriculture and to say to the voters of North Carolina that I have known Charley Moore for a great many years and I unhesitatingly say no man in the state is better qualified for the position than he, and no one deserves It more.

I could write a volume and say no more. I hope he will get that recognition from the democratic party which he deserves. J. H. WEDDINOTON.

Charlotte, May 23. VIEW FROM VIRGINIA. (Editorial' In Petersburg Index-Appeal, Democrat, Saturday.) Gov. Johnson's address before the American Cotton Manufacturers' association In Richmond, lust Thursday night, reveals this distinguished democrat to the people of Virginia and of the south as a man of strong mental era un anA cmind iirnr.t'il l.lnu with to commerciai and industrial now in the life of the nation. Although discussing a subject of vital importance to the largest and wealthiest parts of the country, it is one with which the people of the northwest, from which Gov.

Johnson halls, have had lit tl by contact and observation to become familiar. It Is no trivial evidence, therefore, of the Inquisitive and acquisitive tendency and power of Gov. Johnson's mind that In his speech he exhibited ati easy familiarity with the inner theories and practical operations of the subject, and obtainable only by study and reflection, and not derivable from en-cyclopadeas. that unfailing source of knowledge to the aveiaife politician and public speaker. Gov.

Johnson was lint little known outside of the jiorlhwcHter.n states until very recently. It may be- said that for the rest of the count' Henry Watter-son discovered 'him. Hut the speech In Richmond 'night. gave the people of this. section the first example and flavor of his quality.

The highest expectations have not been disappointed. There is. In him indubitable evidence of sane nr.d riractical statesman- jahlp In which there In ho taint of fads lan1 fancies 'to-agitate and Irritate the ieountry in the course of Its natural ref and He. deals spirit of statesmanship, but also with tlio Intelligence and sympathy with regard to details that makes: serviceable to the There is ho mistake In rating Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota, as an able man and a statesman of large calibre eminently to the utilitarian ago in which we live.

His own people the people who know him best emphatically so rate It-' will be fortunate for this country which for nearly eight years hut' been in the storm and stress, the agitation and convulsion of untried theories and strange experiments, and which is scheduled for four mora years of the same and no matter which party wins the presidency it will be fortunate, we say, when a sane and conservative man like John A. Johnson is placed in the presidential office. We are more convinced now tin ever that with Gov. Johnson a.s the democratic presidential nominee the democratic party could win a victory this year that would give the country much needful repose, and restore the business confidence and prosperity so devoutly wished for by all citizens, regardless of party ufflllations.

"This world is a stage, and the people are actors thereon," said a business man the other day to the Stroller. And he continued: "The wild cat manipulator depends on the suckers to bite his altruistic bait In order that he may swim in wealth. And it is surprising to know how many suckers are born every minute during the year.

The plan is worked on a mammoth scale. Literature in large quantities is sent broadcast through the mails; oil wells are shown, In bright colored prints, showing the 'gushers' in action. They are always adjoining one of Rockefeller's prize winning wells. Stock is only 10 cents per share and will be advanced to 50 cents the next week. So.ne retired 'Reverend' will act as general agent and the dimes will flow Into his coffers like the flow of water over Niagara's falls.

The promoter then skips to some new field of endeavor where new suckers are to be found who have never been fleeced, but are ever ready to get something for nothing. Barnuru said, and proved it: 'The people like to be This is a world where the sharpest wits of some- men are ever at work trying to invent some scheme or plan by which riches will come to them quickly and without hard work. The train robber one of those desperate characters who stakes his life on the work his 'nerve' can accomplish, which often makes him independent in a night, by 'cracking a safe' in an express car. it saves him from the drudgery of work. "It will be a pity to mar the looks of the southside of the Masonic tem pie with a fireescape." said a citizen yesterday, "esnecially as the biitle Ing is fireproof," "It would be better to put it up on the east side, would it not?" asked a bystander.

"That could not be done," said the other man. "The ground land-j ing does net belong to the temple building." But it was finally agreed that, notwithstanding the fact that the temple is fireproof, it would be better to have fireescapes, and that after people get used to looking at the escapes on the south side the building being so stately, It would look all right, as does the escane on the K0Uth sIdtJ of the five-story Tucker building. "Confound the gates that hang open on the sidewalks at night," said a prominent civil war veteran. a man who was at Bethel when Wyatt got killed. "I ran Into a gate one dark night lately on a shaded street, although.

I'm not blind, and it nearly knocked the life out of me. There are several gates on our block swung on the outside and they are never kept closed. They are a nuisance, and I hope the city authorities will abate it." THE STROLLER. COMMUNICATIONS. Resents Scandalous Language.
