Most Merry Fighter.

Tom johnson married his cousin. and
when he did II he had little cash and
only fair prospects. but his father-in-
law said he made up for these def
ciencies By n magnificent stock OF
home grown nerve. Now that he is
again out of cash and has only fair
prospects his nerve seems to stay by
him. Some kinds of nerve only ill us
with that fatigued feeling, but John
sons variety Inspires US with respect.
He is about the nerviest fighter that
ever bucked q corporation aud steam
roller majority and left them both
groggy after successive encounters.
Mayor Johnson made three cent
campaign, got three cent street cars
and now has three cent fortune.
This shows that he Is consistent. Even
though he did not practice what he
preached in the old days when he was
high financier with his hands and
Henry George reforIner with his vocal
apparatus. he Is practicing what he
breaches now. This may be one more
OF those fortuitous circumstances, like
the losing of his job In the foundry
and the accidental reading OF Georges
book. which are to prove a turning
point In his career and make him
better II not a Weather man. At
least 1t Will make him all one thing or
all the other. which is an advantage
to any Of us. When we try to go two
ways at once 1t Is apt to make strain
ed relations between our conduct and
our consciences. TO say nothing of the
strained relations in our anatomies.
AS for the loss of his fortune. what
does that amount to? Tom Johnson
Is big enough that he does not need
pile Of dollars TO stand on.
