TOM l. JOHNSON


Says the Norfolk Nirgiuian-Puot:
"To many jealous Democrats the
cous picuousuess Of Tom johnson at
the Bryan reception was the fly in the
ointment. Why the stone which
Ohio has just rejected should have
been assigned so important part in
the political structure Is not altogether
clear. II he had favored low fares be-
fore he sold out his street railways
there might he some reason for con
fidence i'm his reform pretensions.'
II the editor of the Virginian-Pilot
knew Tom Johnson, he could not he
guilty of this statement. There is not
in public life today man more fair
more square, more honest, more sin
cere than Tom Johnson.
Ohio has not rejected him. The city
of Cleveland has repeatedly honored

feat him in Cleveland, the home Of

been elected Mayor The people Of
that city believe in him. They know

There is not spot on his record. lie
has been a good citizen to the hurt Of
his pOcketbook. Time and again he
has been approached with propositions
that would, if he had accepted them,
have left him richer in his bank ac-

Can the Nirginian-Pilot give an m-

cepted a fee or made financial deal
that was against the public interest?
This country needs more men of the
Tom Johnson stripe-mcn with moral
courage and high ideals. men who
cannot be bought or bullied. such
man is Tom l.. Johnson.

says that an intdrebt:mn Example Of tBe

giving temporary rate concessions as q
.means'of injuring q competing com.
pany, has recently come to: light, in
Pennsylvania. - ->.7' -, -, ~ 's1l1~= ~
! The physicians in Pittstol and West
Pittston lad been receiving poor treat.
ment from the local Bell CO., their
principal grievances being excessive
rates. Attempts on the part of the
medical fraternity as whole to have
the trouble adjnsted were met by the
Bell people with q minimum rate of
&2.OO per month but with such limited
service and restrictions as would rem
der contract, under these. conditions,
of little value, the evident intention
being to force a ahigher rate. -.
"a meeting Of thea physicians was
held, at which the local manager Of the
He'll Company was piSsentt. During
the discussion he stated that the in
crease in rates was not to the medical
profession alone but that the company
intended to gradually discontinue the
old contracts as they were made at q
rate which was only given as . Aghting
measure to displaoe the Independent
system. When the physleians offered
topay to the Bell q rate siuiiar.to the
one they were paying the 1nd9a pendent
company they were informed that the
He'll company could now raise its rates
without losing any subscribers.
The statement was also made that

!: Eugene III Derr of Lacrosse informs
us that the brick paving put in at La
Crosse six and seven years ago is prac-
tically as good as when laid He says
that the, commencement of paving there
msrkeda q new era in the growth and
prosperity OF that city which now has
about a hundred blocks paved. He is
confident that Austin will soon find in
experience that good paving is one Of
the very best improvements. You can
not find q man in Lacrosse today who
would have the brick paving taken out.
It is easily cleaned with a street sweep
or and the business mon feel that now
they have q permanent grade to which
they can adjust their new improve
nnents. Mr.: Derrs predicts that as soon
as Austin people see the advantages of
paved streets others, will demand the
neimprovement for their own pro-
perty. -. 49,. -,.
