Famous ohioan Visiting In Salt

ARDENT SINGLE TAxER
once A TRUST MAN BUT HE HAS
REFORMED.
Says BE Will Devote the Balance of
His Life to Fighting Monopolies-
Having Been Member of One He
Knows Their Ways-Extreme
Views of Tariff Question.

There were at the Knutsford yester-
day. on their way home from the
coast. congressman Tom L. John
Johnson is an ex-politician who is now
seldom heard of in Ohio,politics, having
fallen into Grover Cleveland's sea of
innocuous desuetude along with the
X-2resident.
He was in congress some years, and
was there noted as the champion of
absolute free trade. He had no pa
thence with even a tariff for revenue.
He was known for a few years as one
of the few champions of this idea. But
he fell by the wayside during 1896, and
since then he has not been heard from
in politics. So his exact status is IN
definable.
Nan of Wealth.
Mr.. Johnson is a quite wealthy street
railroad rail manufacturer, and has
been a member of the steel trust, as
he said repeatedly during his congress
sional career. Another one of his dis
unguishinS features while in congress
was his advocacy of Henry Georges
single tax theory, along with Judge J.
G.. Mcguire of California
It has been said by a few newspapers
that he is a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for vice president
next year, on the theory that the de-
feat of John r. Mclean for governor
of Ohio left him ass the logical Ohio
candidate for the position.
But Mr.. Johnson would not discuss
politics, nor anything else. He refused
to give his opinion upon any question
of Importance which is now agitating
the country. In fact. he said that he
would never discuss these matters in
the newspapers
Short and Fat
The famous free trader is short,
fat man of probably 60 years of age,
who seems to have much virility and
energy. His face is clean shaver, and
with the lines of a strong and fiery
talker such as he is reported to be.
Though Mr.. Johnson usually stood with
the Democratic side in congress, he was
not accounted a leader of the party.
The schemes of government which he
proposed We're considered much too
radical and visionary by the Demo-
cratic leaders.
During the first part of this year he
announced in an interview that he
would hereafter devote his life to the
determination of trusts. He said that
having been a member of the steel
trust and worked in close contact with
its managers, he was in a position to
expose its methods.

SUNDAY SCHOOL JUBILEE.
Exercises Conducted In All of the
Wards

Interesting services celebrating the
fiftieth anniversary Of the establish
| ment of the first Sunday school in Utah
were held in all of the ward meeting
houses yesterday morning and last
night Interesting programmes were
given in each instance. The speakers
were principally men and women who
! have been identified with Sunday
school work for many years.
In the Seventeenth ward two mem
bers of the first Sunday school were
present. They were Jane Darlington
Young and Vilate Clayton Young. A
prominent figure was John A. West
who has been a Sunday school worker
West first entered the field in Nauvoo
in 1S43.
Later he was in charge of the Sunday
schools in the Sandwich islands and
for twenty-four years he was super
intendent of the Salt Lake stake. Mr..
Vests "reminiscences of the early days,
as he related them yesterday were
decidedly entertaining. Samuel H.
Cornaby, who was the second superin-
tendent of the Seventeenth ward school
was another interesting talker. Mr..
Cornaby is now living in Spanish Fork
where he moved forty-three years ago.
A special feature of all the pro-
grammeS was a resume of the history
of the various Sunday schools. Some of
them were organized much earlier than
others but all have grown and pros
pered until today they are in the
healthiest of conditions. Those in
charge of the celebrations yesterday
have reason for congratulations on ac-
count Of the size of the attendance and
the general success of the affairs.
