FAYETTEVILLE NEWS, FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA; POPUP L mn Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali fornia, running mate of Theodore Roosevelt on the Progressive ticket In 1912, has formally announced himself a candidate for the Republican nomi nation for president in the 1920 cam paign. Ills friends let it be known that considerable work on behalf of the Johnson candidacy has been going on quietly in the far West for a longtime, and they predicted he would be able to go into the Republican convention at Chicago next June with a formid able array of delegates. Senator Johnson’s statement an nouncing his candidacy fairly bristled with defiance of the Republcan orgair- lzatlon. He made it clear he Is going into the campaign for the nomination free and independent of all so-called “organization old" and that he Is de termined to carry the fight into every state where his nnnte can be brought before the voters in a direct primary. Among the senator’s platform planks will be unalterable and unequivocal opposition to the entire treaty of peace, withdrawal of the American troops from Siberia and other remote corners of the earth, maintenance of the right of free speech, a general reassertion of the principles of the Progressive platform in 1912, and a declaration of Koose- veltian Americanism with no foreign entanglements BRIEF NEWS NOTES WHAT HAS OCCURRED DURING WEEK THROUGHOUT COUN TRY AND ABROAD EVENTS OFJMPORTANCE Gathered From All Parte Of Tha Globe And Told In Short Paragraphs Domestic— Two hundred Ukrainians registered for army service in their native land in a memorial service and mass meet ing held in Cleveland.

BURROUGHS: OLD-TIME NATURALIST Old John Burroughs—his beard is long and white these days—migrated across the country the other day from Slabsides to Pasadena. Of course, he had to change trains at Chicago, and a large group of his admirers met him at a dinner in n North Shore hotel—the dinner being spread in a sunken gar den, surrounded by a wood and warmed by a log fire. And what do you think? The old fellow boasted that he had never drank coffee or smoked. Now a good many good people believe that the man who has never drank strong, black, hot coffee right off the campfire has missed, something. He may live six months or a year longer, but It isn’t worth the price. And the man who can’t light up a fine, ripe, Missouri meerschaum in the woods and find It the crowning touch of the wilderness feats—why, there’s something the mat ter with him. But that’s John Bur roughs’ way: If it doesn’t happen at Slnbskles he’s inclined to think there ain’t no such animile. Really it is too bad that John Burroughs didn’t stay longer and give a lecture. He lias many admirers even in smoky, noisy, dirty, commercial Chi cago. Then, too, he’s one of those rare authors whose personality corresponds to his books. There are many nature lovers who prefer the “reason" school to Mr. Burroughs’ “Instinct” school, but even they have a fondness for Bur roughs the man. L WE MUST GROW INTO SHIP HABIT John Barton Payne, chairman of the United States shipping board, in a statement to the Southern Commercial congress, said In part: My conclusion is, It Is not possible to have a successful American mer chant marine until the country grows Into the ship habit. The American newspapers and magazines must arouse the thinking men among manu facturers, Investment bankers, farm ers, and labor to the necessity for a merchant marine. The congress Is giving the matter close attention, and besides the Greene bill should pass a mortgage bill sub stantially like the one now before the merchant marine and fisheries com mittee, to guarantee investors a lien for the purchase price of the ships which will, In financial circles, have as much value as a railroad mortgage, and investment bankers and the public may freely invest in ship securities.

In the big hotels of the White Light district the newcomer was welcomed by the pri vate stock-holding class with all ex uberance of days when prohibition was still a reformer’s dream and a jest. The exuberance of the private- stockless citizens was, however, decid edly restrained. The customary crowds thronged Broadway, but the cowbells and horns which on previous N<W were much modulated in tone and there was little of the riotous horse play that previous years had known.

It was recalled In connection with the resignation that In suggesting a 34 per cent wage increase as fair for the miners and possible to be paid from present profits of mine owners, Doctor Garfield suggested a commission repre sentative of the industry to review the findings, but expressed the conviction that such a body should not have power to fix prices.

Of the Instrumentalities which are to be set in motion almost imme diately upon the proclamation of peace, the international court of justice is regarded by the supreme council as of ranking importance. Consequently, that body, through its secretariat in London, already had gone so far as possible in advance of the actual dec laration of peace toward the creation of the court. An army of 85,000 enumerators are at work counting the men, women and children of the United States and of collecting certain information about resources of the country.
