TON Johnson

Tom johnson is broke. johnson s
financial rise was remarkable. His
political success has been equally as
wonderful. He was a native of Scott
county, KY, and when a boy entered
the employ of the Louisville street
railway company He perfected a
fare box before the days OF con-
ductore, and at Is he was superin-
tendent of the line. Later, with Lou
isville backing, he secured. control of
the indianapolis line. Then he went
TO Cleveland and engaged in the steel
business as well as in street railways.
He was elected to congress and thres
times mayor OF Cleveland. He lost
heavily in steei and in his efforts In
behalf of the three cent fare, besides
letting go OF a fortune to save his
brothers estate.
Johnson's career has been of chief
interest because of his work as head
OF municipality. Cleveland is a Re
publican city and always goes Repub-
lican on issues, but Notwithstanding
the fact that Johnson is a Democrat
he has repeatedly defeated the best
men the Republicans could nominate
in the Forest City.
II matters not what anyone may
think of Johnson's municipal street
railway theory, or how he was beaten
In the referendum, the fact remains
that Cleveland Is the best governed
municipality In the world. There Is
no graft in the police department,
economy is the watchword every
where. and the city hall is as busy a
place as can be found In the city
This is all through the dominating
influence of the mayor himself.

We have always been Of the opinion
that great monopoiies are usually
built ON sound business principles by
business genius, and that economy of
labor and material and transportation
expenses play a more important part
In their development, than buccaneer-

not excuse the exercise OF predatory
instincts, common to all monsters

fact is that John ID. Rockefeller finds

THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DE
MAND

MAND.
The Burnley society has received
eos and 16 cents for its 1906 and
1907 pools. The dark tobacco poo,
according TO the report of the presl
dent of the Kentucky underwriters
association, has on hand still at least
80 per cent OF the 1907 crop with a
large crop for 1908 of better quality
on hand, and the underwriters think
II cannot sell more than half the
9OS crop. The Burley society was
no better organized. The dark to
bacco pool claimed to have 90 per
cent of the tobacco. and men were
forced to pool whether they wanted
to or not.
What is the difference? The Bur-
ley pool raised no tobacco in 1908
and the demand exceeds the supply.
The dark tobacco poo, members
hauled in their 1907 crop. which was
graded about five cents above the
market price and then went back and
planted a larger acreage for the next
year, knowing that the excessive
price they asked would keep their
tobacco off the market until thu
available supply at market prices was

speeches denouncing the trust; not
because the night riders burned

they cut of the supply and as soon
as the American Tobacco company
sized up the situation. estimated the
demand and measured the supply It
made an offer for the crop.
The dark tobacco growers quoted
their tobacco at a high figure and

lady MEG left London for Paris to-
ward the end OF 1865 or the be.
ginning OF 1866 but we hear
nothing of her doings until the
early summer of 1865. The veil lifts
then, so far as 1t ever lifts from before
the face of the Paris period. and
shows us the establishment In the
Rue de Grenelle. A queer picture II Is
in many ways. 1t gives reason TO think
that the state Of mind to which Lady
Meg had now come is but mildly de
scribed as eccentricity.
The eminent Lord Dunstanbury
Lady Meg's father. had been one OF
that set of English Wings and Liberals
who were much at home In Paris in
the days of the July monarchy. Among
his friends was certain Marquis de
Savres. the head Of an old French fam
lily of royallst principles. This gentle
man had. however accepted the throne
of Louis Philippe and the political
principles and leadership OF Guizot
Between him and Lord Dunstanbury
there arose close intimacy. and Lady
Meg as a girl had often visited In the
Rue de Grenelle. Changed as her
views were and separated rs she was
from nest Of her fathers coteTie In
Paris, friendship and intercourse be-
tween her and the Savres family had
never dropped. The present head OF
the family was Caslmir de Savres. n
young man Of twenty-eight. an officer
of cavalry. Being bachelor. he pre-
ferred TO dwell In a small apartment
IN the other side OF the river, aud the
family house In the Rue de Grenelle
stood empty. Under some arrange
ment, presumably a business one. for
Marquis de Savres was by no means
rich. Lady Meg occupied the first floor
of the roomy old mansion. Here she

three French servants and an English

Mile. Sophie de Gruche. In whose favor
Sophy Crouch has effected an unob-
truslve disappearance.
This harmless II somewhat absurd
transformation was carried out with
futile elaboration smacking OF Lady
Megs sardonlc perversity rather than
OF Sophy's director methods. Sophy
would probably have claimed the right
to call herself what she pleased and
left the world TO account for her name
In any way II pleased. Lady Meg must
needs fit her up With n story. She was
the daughter OF a creole gentleman

er being early left a widow, Sophy had
been brought up entirely In England:
hence her Indifferent acquaintance
with French. If'thls excuse served a
purpose at first, at any rate IL soon be-
came unnecessary. Sophy's marked
