Will Gather Governors on Way.
It is possible that If tlio populace
gather in Butllclcnt numbers at points
along the route and demand a stop the
governors will accommodate them. It
Is also probable that other governors
will Join the train along the -way.
How could they keep away ? Governor
Teller of I'eunsylvania has sent word
of his Intention to personally escort the
party while passing through his state ,
and It is understood that at the re
ceptions to be given to the governors
in most of the cities the governor of
the state will be on hand to do the
honors. It is needless to assume that
the governor's special Is going to be
welcomed impressively wherever It
stops. There are receptions , dinners ,
banquets , and in some cities the pro
gram of entertainment will include the
presence of the governors at meetings
in large auditoriums , so that their wel
come will be a public one.
For two decades the west has offer
ed its hospitality to visitors from the
east , and the opportunity of recipro
cating will not be overlooked. Assur
ances to that effect have already been
received not only from state and city
ofllclals , commercial clubs and kindred
organizations , but also men prominent
in business and manufacturing. In
other words , the governors will return
the calls that have been made by east
ern visitors , break bread , leave their
cnrds and murmur that they hare had
n perfectly delightful time. Since they
cannot be expected to make a rctum
call on each Individual they will ren
der It n sort of wholesale social func
tion by dropping In on tlio whole state ,
Including all the Inhabitants thereof.
Beturning Calls En Masse.
special atopa In Indi-
ana nil tlio Hooslom that have over
mtulo a trip to nny of the states rep
resented can tnko It an a return of the
courtesy. Ho with the other states
visited. Perhaps when John Henry
JOIIOH of Kntnninzoo went out to Colorado
rado n few years ago ho never dream
ed of n return visit by the governor of
that Htate. Such an honor was be
yond his wildest hopes. Yet that or
something like It is coming to pass.
Wo are living In a great ago , my mas-
tern , and unexpected things are hap
pening In flocks. One day n man tiles
across the American continent in nn
aeroplane. The next an inventor who
Is half Irl.sh and half Italian Bends n
wireless message from Italy to Amer
ica. Then a bevy of western governors
make social calls all over the Atlantic
seaboard.
To be perfectly frank , however , the
social end of till * trip is not all there
Is to It ; not well , not by as many
thousand miles as will be covered by
this totirl The governors of the great
northwest are enterprising men and
are the otllclnl reoresentatlvcs of en
terprising people Their domain is one
of the most beautiful , healthful and
fertile on the footstool. They know
this and want all the world to know
It. To convey this truth in n way
that will drive It homo is the chief
object of this trip.
Beating Canada's Game.
Our "Lady of the Snows" has been
casting coquettish eyes at American
farmers. For the American people col
lectively she has not the slightest use.
She rejects their trade agreements
with heavy majorities. But for the
American people Individually she has a

friendship that Is obtrusive and per
sistent provided she can get them to
renounce their American citizenship
and hike across the border to swell her
icant population.
Canada is about the same age and
size as the United States , yet she has
only 7,000.000 people to our 90,000.000.
After spending a large amount of mon
ey on n campaign to promote linralgra-
tlon'her last census was a bitter disap
pointment , being far below the expect
ed figure. The single state of New
York has more Inhabitants than the
whole Dominion. As a population mag
net Canada is a frost.
Yet any kind of proposition will
catch some people , and the Canadian
advertisements got an American farm
er hero and there. Most of these went
from the northwest. Now that section
is doing a little advertising on Its own
hook. By means of land shows and
this trip of the governors It Is giving
notice that there are other gardens of
Eden besides that queered by the fa
ther of the snake family. Here's dollars
lars to doughnuts that the campaign
of the American northwest will bring
five times the result attained by that
of the Canadian northwest In fact ,
the single states of Oregon and Wash
ington gained practically as much dur
ing the last decade as the whole Do
minion of Canada.
Invited to the White House.
The tour of the governors was the
suggestion of former Governor James
II. Brady of Idaho , who Is Included in
the party , and the inspiration to him
came from the spirit of co-operation
between the states that has been fos
tered through the Northwestern De
velopment league , n meeting of which
he attended in St. Paul In October , at
which several of the governors were
present. That the governors should
be assembled for the northwestern
land products show at St. Paul , Dec.
12 to 23 , and that most of them de
sired to attend the national rivers and
harbors congress at Washington and
had also been invited to attend the
gathering of southwestern governors
at Baltimore suggested the feasibility
of the idea that they should all go to
gether in a party , which was strength
ened by the approval of President Taft
on his western trip , who added a
formal Invitation for the governors to
visit him at the White House.
Added to all this was the practicable
phase that the governors' trip could
bo made to emphasize In an impres
sive and dlgnllled way the prosperity
of the entire northwest and Its great
development projects without serving
my sectional or Individual Interests.
That It could bo made vastly educa
tional , not merely In exploiting northwestern -
western resources and opportunities ,
.but in Illuminating national problems
of Immigration and the conservation
of natural resources , was at once ap
parent.
The train on which the governors
travel carries four exhibit cars , each
state having about one-half of a car.
Here are displayed to the best advan
tage the products grown by these veri
table northwestern empires , emphasis
lielng laid on agriculture. At each
stop the general public and especially
the school children are Invited to pans
through the exhibit cars , their conduc
tors being no less personages than the
governors themselves.
It Is a royal train in the personnel
of Its pasnoBgera , Us modern equip
mcnt for convenience nnd luxury and
IH being given a roynl sendoff by great
throngs of cheering enthusiasts. The
accommodations of the train are two
bleeping coaches , besides an observa
tion car , library , buffet and bnggage
cars.
Some Class to This Personnel.
Aside irom the fact that the mem
ber * of this the most unusual adver
Using troupe In American history are
chiefs of great states , they are dis
tinguished for other things , for ex
ample , John F. Shafrotli of Colorado
was a member of congress who after
he was declared re-elected resigned be
cause he thought there was a taint
of fraud in his election. If that does
not make him distinguished , not to
Kay unique , there is nothing on earth
that could. It is safe to say his Is the
only case of the kind in history.
Then there is Hiram W. Johnson of
California , who became a progressive
despite the fact that his father , who
had also been distinguished In his da.\ .
was a regular of regulars. Before tils
election Governor Johnson helped pros
ecute Ituef and Schmltz. lie Is going
along on this trip to boom the Panama
canal exposition , which Is to be held at
San Francisco In 191. .
Adolph Olson Eberhart of Minnesota
was born in Sweden , came to America
when be was eleven nnd started his
career as a cattle herder in Nebraska.
He was determined to have an educa
tion , however , and paid his own way
through a seven years' course In acad
emy and college. Ho was elected lieu
tenant governor when the late John A.
.lohnson was made governor thu last
time and succeeded to the olllco on
Johnson's death , being elected In his
ou n right later.
Joseph M. Carey of Wyoming was
formerly United States senator , also
representative in congress , justice of
the state supreme court and distin
guished citizen generally. In the old
dnjs he w.is a regular Republican , but
1) ) " ' anie an Insurgent and was elected
go\ernor by the Democrats and pro
gressives.
In the language of Brigadier General
M Anlonj. "So are they all , all honor
able men" John Burke of North Da-
Icoi.i bus been mentioned for president.
II H. Vi-ssey of South Dakota was
once a legislator nnd put through
nmendiiu-nts to the railroad , banking
am. corporation laws. I don't know
wliKt the governor of North Dakota
says to the governor of North Dako
ta when they moot , but It is doubt
less something Inteicstlng. Edwin L.
Norrls of Montana was born In Ken
tucky and was lieutenant governor
four years before lie became gov
ernor. James II. Hawley of Idaho has
long been n distinguished lawyer
Marlon E. Hay of Washington began
as clerk in a store and worked his way
up. Oswald West of Oregon and Tas-
ker L. Oddle of Nevada were elected
last year , one a Democrat carrying a
Republican state and the other a Re
publican carrying a Democratic state.
Can you ask a better certificate of
character than that ?
DIAMONDS AT THE DURBAR.
Why th Kohinoor Will Be Worn In the
Queen's Diadem.
Two notable crown jewels which did
not appear at the coronation will be
worn by Queen Mary at the coming
durbar nt Delhi. One Is the famous
Kohinoor nnd the other Is n large diamond
mend lotus , which will form the pen
dant to a necklace of matchless stones.
A tradition concerning the Kohinoor
says , "Who holds the Kohinoor holds
India. " for It was this marvelous gem
that crowned the head of an Indian
emperor fi.OOO years ago. King Ed
ward once wished to have the gem set
in his crown , but was petitioned not to
do so by many leading Indians on ac
count of the superstition that the gem
had always brought dire disaster to
the man who wore it , whereas If the
wearer were a woman fortune would
shine on her for the rest of her days.
Thus it is that five years ago the Koh
inoor was mounted in Queen Alexan
dra's diadem , from which It is being
Transferred to that of Queen Mary.

New ranking of the American associa
tion and the Eastern and Pacific
coast leagues In the A class comes

no radical action , If any action at all ,
would bo taken by the commission In
regard to the rather formal charges
made against the management of the
New York Giants In connection with
the sale of tickets for the world's
championship series. While there has

say that it would bo difficult to collect -

GENIUS OF SCHUBERT.
Whatever the Great Composer Felt
Flowed Forth In Music.
Whenever Schubert happened to turn
over the leaves of a volume of poetry ,
verses that pleased him would be
come clothed In melody They would
sing themselves in his mind with su
perb accompaniment , noble in rhythm
und rich in harmonies. If paper hap
pcned to be within reach the song
would at onrp be written down.
One July evening In 18215. after a
long walk , the composer strolled into
a beer garden and found n friend sit
ting at a table with n volume of Shake
speare. Slmbcrt picked up the book
and rend the song In "Cyinbellne , "
"Hark. Hark , the Lark. " The beautiful
melody , with Its accompaniment , as
we now have It instantly Hashed upon
him. nnd ho wrote It down on the spot
upon stoves hastily scrawled across
the back of a bill of fare. In the course
of the same evening he set to music
the drinking song in "Antony ami
Cleopatra" and the verses "Who Is
Sylvia. " In "Two Gentlemen of Ye
"
rona
And all this exqulslteness came from
the son of n cook : md poor tnochnnli1
whose chief delight as baby was to
pick out melodies on a rusty old piano
In his father's shop nnd whose acme
of human bliss was reached when lie
was taken to a neighboring joiner's t"
try bis infant hands on a fine new In
strument. He was n charity pupil in
the Imperial School of Music , but nei
ther Its orphan asylum atmosphere ,
the two meals a day nor the Ice cold
piano with the Ice cold Instruction
dampened the little Fran7.'s ardor
Whatever he felt flowed forth In mu
sic. New York World.
