TOM JOHNSON? Jl MAM OF DEEDS
Tom Johnson is the one democrat
who is no: contented with merely talk
in*'. To be sure Mr. Folk and the
ether Jo^icson in Minnesota have done
a few thins^but Tom is the one man in
the [ artym?o, like Roosevelt is ever
lastingly at It and who does not admit '
of failure. His long, bitter fight j
against odds that would have discour
aged most any man is at last finished
with Major Tom scoring a goal? three
c ?jt fare is obligatory in street car
circ'.e n Cleveland. Under the pre
visions of tho ' security franchise"
through which a transfer is made to a
hoi 3iog company, a success is required
to be made of the three cent fare ? that
is to say the company must first keep
t le property up to the standard and
still pay six per cjnt interest on the
investment Otherwise the old com
ply is permitted to take over the
property a^ain and, to get even on the
losses resultiog, charge fare at the rate
Li' six tickets for a quarter. Of course
Torn ? 11 s--e to it that 3-oent fare per"
tonus for all he claimed for it. He
kno'^s more about stree: railways than
mo*', anyoody, and is to be depended
upon, since he h .s nude ;;ood on ev ry
reform h-> has undertaken, some of
which were quite as radical as this.
THE BOINB my OF THE EDIT
Well the little goat Is gone from
among us? sailed away on the Fo* (or
SiUa, whecce be cam?. His life here
was full of vise ssitudes. He *vas
brought here for a purpose which he
lullti ) ? de was ijivtrn a cordial wel
come. H was cot provided with a de
finite abtdng place and so frje and wel
come w is hp .tt ever.* door that he did
not f?-el the lack of any place of which
be might .-ay "This is mine own." Any
o' J doorway was good enough, and he
wa? content, poor little goat. But on
ac jaunt of ?hat he did in each doorway,
oae by or.e thev werj closed against
him, the warm atmosphere of hospital
ity chilled. *nd presently the little goat
wi.;n such extremity that, lcolc in what
direct '.on he might, he could .-ea co
friend. Set a m'io or a-goat goicg down
htll? ar.d my! bow easy and speedv the
triveling becomes. The little goat was
put in jjll ard, cry as ha might, anddid,
they wou'd not let him out. The green
paint with which admire*s marked
him here and there on St. Patrick's
diy became a mark of coitempt Every
ma.i cried out against him and if any
were suspected of be'ng his friend, how
ever they might disclaim I", they were
ha ed ?efore the court and fined. And
at last they have banished the little
goat back whence he came. We cati
only hope that the folks at home m?y
be as pleased to see him as we, among
whom he has had such a short, checker
ed caree-, are glad to see the lsst of
him? poor little goat.

going it a little strong, when we re- 1

fought In the field remote from the

state lice where safety was ft hand no

Mr. Cleveland evidently footed the
doctors.
The robins are singing these morn
ings?and for csusr. Sometimes the
robins sing out of pure good nature and ,
because i6ey are created to give cheer j
to the world when the world is in the
dumps; because they are natural born
optimists. Those tilings that go to
make up the life of tne robins are just
two In number, their maces and the
wtather. Having wiugs they never are
without food, for in that regard they
have only "to go it." both in the literal
and slang sense of the term. As for
mates, every robin has a mate of course
,nd K it Isn't a congenial mate they
lave ouly to fly away. Could a condi
iou of life be more ideal? Everything ]
aide to order, or within reach, save
he weather. When, therefore, the (
ubios sing for cause, wheo they OH <
ou>* morning window with songs of joy '
,aJ praise, It" must be the weather?
uch as we have In Skagway today.
