 GOOD MAN DEFEATED

We were sorely disappointed, next morning after election, when we learned that big hearted and noble Tom L. John son had been defeated for mayor of Cleveland, Ohio. Our graft-ridden cities need more men of the Johnson type. The last issue of Golfers Weekly summarizes the many good things that Tom l.. Johnson has done for Cleveland, since has been it's mayor. We print part of the article;
 When he first went into office the city parks were merely restricted lawns to please the eye of the populace who drove through them ill stylish equlpages Mayor Johnson had all the "keep Off the Grass signs gathered and piled ln the City Hall park. He then 1rvited tue boys of the city to a big bOnhre-test The bonfire was a success and so are the parks now. Mayor Johnson forced the price of gas down from $1 to 75 cents, and brought natural gas from West Virginia for 35 cents thousand. He doubled the milage of good pavement ill | Cleveland. He fathered a group of model municipal buildings. He carried the water intake five miles further out into the lake and handled the city sew age with less danger of contamination. He built public baths and furnished free baths in the tenement districts winter and summer. He got the consent of owners of vacant property and estab- lished ball grounds for boys in every ward in the city,
 He obtained agreements With the merchants to join with the city i'll pay ing for lights, and made the downtown parts of Superior, Euclid and Prospect avenues among the best lighted business streets in the country. He established city system for gathering garbage, ashes, tin cans and all refuse to keep alleys clean and made the garbage re- duction plan pay most of the expense. His department of charities and correc- ions IS the model studied by cities, large and small, all over the country. Judge McCune. of Kansas City, Judge Lindsey of Denver, and others who deal with boys and try to help them, have visited | Cleveland to study the boys farm at Boyville, south of the city.
