Church Dignitary Brings
a Message from Sweden

Omaha entertained a nobleman OF dem
ocratic proclivities last week in the person
of Rt. Rev II. G. Won Scheele, bishop Of
Vlspy In the island of Gothland, Sweden.
Bishop Won Scheele is a nobleman of many,
many generations in descent, but he Is a
democrat nonetheless.
He prefers TO be a member of the lower
house of Parliament in Sweden, because
it is more democratic than the upper house
and he has all his adult life been fighting
for reforms of democratic nature such as
the extension of the suffrage. He was
leading figure IN the constitutional revision
of 1869 which paved the way for manhood
suffrage in his country.
When In Omaha he told the people that
he was great admlrer Of American insti-
tutions and American democracy and his
deeds seem to have matched his words
IL Is not strange that Bishop Won Scheele
and Theodore Roosevelt should be intimate
friends because they are both Of aristo-
cratic lineage and both warm advocates Of
representative government.
When MIR. Roosevelt was In Stockholm
few months ago. most OF his time was
spent in the convoy of the bishop, and
on arrival in this country the former
president was one OF the first men TO whom
the distinguished prelate bore the n eetings

TOM Johnson RESIGNS
OFFICE TO SUCCESSOR
Official Term of Herman C. Baehr

Begins.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 1.-The
official term of Tom l.. Johnson, for eight
years mayor of this city. closed last mid
night and the formal transfer of the of
flee to his successor. Herman c. Baehr.
took place at noon today.
AS mayor of Cleveland Tom L john
son. gained a national reputation. This
is based, first. upon his sngle-tax theo-
ries. being an adherent of the ideas of
the late Henry George. which he was I'M
able to carry out here, and upon which
platform he was defeated in his candi-
dacy for the governorship Of Ohio. At
the same time Mr.. johnson was waging
his fight against the street railway COM
pany for a lower rate Of fare. which at
tracted widespread attention.
A few weeks ago terms were framed
which. 1t is believed. will result in a final
settlement on low-fare basis.
The retiring mayor will take rest for
several weeks and then will return to
keep in touch with the local democratic
organization.
