Re~an Work at is.

/ Tom L. Johnson was born in Blue
Springs, Ky, July Is, 1854. His father,
General William Johnson, a Kentucky
legislator, lost his fortune in the Civil
War, and at fifteen young Johnson was
thrown on his own resources. He got
a job as driver of a horse car in
Louisville, and thus entered the busi-
ness in which he later made fame and
fortune. Later he became chief of pO-
lice of Louisville, but he soon became
interested financially in the street car
systems of Indianapolis, Cleveland,
Detroit and Brooklyn.
He was practically at the height Of
a most successful career as a street
railway magnate, when, in 1888, he
retired from business to carry out
cherished ideas of social reforms,
among which was that of three-cent
railway fares. This idea had been i'm
parted to him by Henry George, whose
influence over Johnson's entire life
dated from the time when. on a rail
road train. Johnson bought copy OF
Georges Social Problems" Later the
two became fast friends and worked
together on various reforms.
On Georges advice, Johnson enter
ed politics, running first for congress
He was defeated in his first campaign
on the free trade issue. Later he was
elected, serving two terms, from 1897
to 1894. Here one of his most note
worthy achievements was the ruse
by which he forced the printing OF the
entire next of Henry Georges "PrOtec-
tion or Free Trade" into the Congres
sional Record and its free distribution
to the entire country.
johnson was defeated in the Re
publican landslide of 1894, but in 1901
he was elected mayor of Cleveland,
and he then began his real life's work,
that of establishing three-cent car
fare. For years he kept up the fight,
and as a result Cleveland today still
has the three-cent fare, although not
exactly under the conditions he had
hoped for.
His various terms as mayor were
marked by a continual fight against
special privilege, with the result that
he quickly won the title of Mayor of
the Best Governed City in the United
States"
In 1903 he ran for governor and was
defeated, but he was elected mayor
again in 1905. He met final defeat in
1910
Although he had been in poor health
since then, he had hoped to the last
to recuperate sufficiently to enter the
next mayoralty campaign. During the
last few months of his life most of
his time was employed in writing his
autobiography.
johnson married early in life Mar
garet J. Johnson, daughter Of the Con |
federate colonel, Robert Johnson, at |
Louisville. Mrs. Johnson and two chill /
dren, Mrs. Bessie Johnson Mariani /
and Loftin Edwards Johnson, survive !
him.

nority leadership of that body.
MI Martin got twenty-one votes, as

Shively, of Indiana, three senators be-
ing Shively, of Indiana; Till
man, of South Carolina, and Terrell.
Of Georgia.

followers OF William j. Bryan and
certain sO-called progressive Demo
Gratis" led by Senator Stone. of Mis-
souri,, and Senator Owen, of Okla
homa. 1t has been said that the peer
less leader himself has been active
against the Virginian.

Kansas Farmer Would pie Poor.

NehSaa NNGhta GAG E"NkAs
Like Andrew Carnegie, John Booth,
an eighty-seven- year-Old resident of
Manhattan, Kan, intends to give away
most of his fortune before he dies.
Booth, of course, hasn't as big a
job as has the Laird of Skibo, but
be finds plenty to do giving away his
money to projects that he feels are
worthy of it.
Last fall Mr.. Booth attracted much
attention by a gift of $1,000, which
made possible the establishment of a
children's playground in Manhattan.
The other day he gave $1,000 to the
Manhattan Young Mems Christian As
sOciation, which needs funds to help
1t in its work.
Il have more than $4,000, and
don't need the money" Mr.. Booth says.
y am eighty-seven years old, and
don't spend $40 a month"
The old philanthrOpist lives alone
in a two-rOOm house in Manhattan. All
his sons and daughters are dead, and
he has no near relatives. His chief
ambition now is to give away all his
money before he dies, and of course
there are plenty of applications for It.
But Mr. Booth wishes to see that
the money is going to do some good,
and before any gifts can be obtained
from him it is necessary to show him
just how the money is to be spent
and satisfy him that his gift will ac-
complish something.
Mr. Booth is a retired farmer and
ALL of his money he has made from
the soil.
