times which we are concentrating
this Holy Week. The Kingdom OF
Heaven has been committed TO human

God needs men TO do His work
upon earth, plain, earnest, honest,
young men, full OF red blood ana
energy and enterprise. He neecs
strong men. for II Is no weakiing s
Job. Standing by Jesus in His trial
and suffering calls for all that Is best
In you and me. II Is the highest
privilege of mankind; the greatess
honor to which any man can aspire
All the honors of men, from king 70
president, pale into insignificance be-
aide the honor of bearing and suffer
ing trials for Jesus. IL requires the
clearest, the strongest, the broadest'

search that the world has to give 10

be the mother of devotion.
I'm this city, God calls for men TO-
day TO stand for the Kingdom OF Heav'
en-, which is on trial here In our own
fair city and all over the world today
as IL was in the days OF the disciples.
From this platform we have been
hearing what Jesus Christ Is TO us.
Now we should consider what we can
be for Jesus Christ, whether We Will

and women who will stand by Jesus
In His trial"

Mayor Thompson Pays
Tribute to Tom Johnson

Regarding the death OF Tom L.
Johnson, Mayor William b. Thompson
said Tuesday: Il have met many EN-
inent politicians and statesmen and
have learned TO admire some OF them,
but Tom L. Johnson stood head and
shoulders above all OF them. He was
masterful. He grasped big things an
disposed OF them with an ease and a
celebrity that were marvellous. Moth
ing tired him; no obstacle daunted
him. What impressed me most was
his logged tenacity, his buoyant op'
timism and his wonderful cheerful
ness I'm the face OF most dishearten-
ing opposition A grand and loveable
man has left us In the body. but his
spirit abides with US"
tom l.. Johnson was man OF a
great deal OF force" declared Alex
|. Mcleod How much good he actu-
ally accomplished, 1t is difficult to esti-
mate, but he set people thinking and
what he did, will bear fruit"

WEDDING PLANS HALTED.
Robert Bacon, Jr., and Miss May
Couldn't Agree on Religion.

WASHINGTON, April 1l.-Differ-
ence in religious faith, was the ex-
PLANTATION given formally today by the
two families involved in the break
ing off OF the engagement between
Miss Cecilia May, daughter OF Col.
and Mrs. Henry May, and Robert
Bacon, Jr., son OF the ambassador
TO France.
II was intimated that young Bacon
and his father, objected to the agree
ment required by the Catholic church
OF which the May family are mem
bers that any children born to the
couple should be brought up In that
faith. The marriage would have TAX
en- place anyhow, IL Is said. but for
the interference OF Ambassador Ba-
con.
A week ago IL was announced that
the marriage would be postponed. 1t
is known. however. that the engage
ment was terminated at that time.
Some of the friends of the young peo-
pie, insist that the marriage will
eventually take place, despite the
present breach.
Young Bacon is private secretary
to Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Andrew. but has not been in his
office since Saturday. II Is reported
that he is planning a trip to Europe.

Began His Career As
Driver Of Horse Car

Johnson. who had been in ill.health
since he retired as mayor Of Cleve-
land. on Jan. /. 1910, will probably
be known in all future American
municipal history, as the mayor of
the Best governed city in the United
States" and as the father OF the
three-cent street railway fare In
America. He was born in Blue Spring,
KY, July IS, 1854. His father, Gen.
| William Johnson, famous Kentucky
legislator, lost his fortune in the civil
war and at fifteen, young Johnson
was thrown on his own resources. He
promptly secured a job as a horse
car driver on the streets OF Louisville,
and at once began learning the bust
ness In which he later made fame aud
fortune. Johnson served later as
chief OF police OF Louisville, but soon
became interested financially in the
street car systems OF Indianapolis,
Cleveland. Detroit and Brooklyn.
Patents on various street car appli
ances helped him along financially as
we'll as an authority on street railway
matters and he was practically at the
height OF 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 becoming
the father OF the three-cent street rail
way fare in America. This idea had
been impaired to him by Henry
George, whose influence over John
Isons entire life dated from the time
when on railway train, Johnson
bought copy OF Georges Social
Problems" Later the two became
fast friends and worked together for
the carrying out Of various reforms.
On Georges advice Johnson enter
ed politics, running first for congress,
but being defeated In his first race
when he campaigned on the free-trade
issue. Later he was elected, serving
two terms from 1890 TO 1894. Here
one of his most noteworthy achieve
ments was the ruse by which he
forced the printing of the entire text
OF Henry Georges Protection Of
Free Trade" into the Congressional
Record and its free distribution to the
entire country.
Johnson was defeated in the Repub-
lican landslide of 1894, but in 1901,
was elected mayor of Cleveland, and
began his real LIES work of estab-
fishing the three-cent street car fare.
For years he kept up the fight and
az a result Cleveland today still has
a three-cent street car fare although
not under exactly 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 Staes" In 1903
he ran for governor and was defeated,
but was promptly reelected mayor
again In 1905, meeting final defeat in
1910
Although he had been in poor
health since then, he had hoped to the
last to recuperate sufficiently to en-
ter again the next mayoralty cam.
paign. During the last few months
OF HIS life, most OF his time was spent
in writing his autobiography.
Johnson was married in early life
to Margaret j. Johnson, daughter OF
the Confederate Col. Robert Johnson,
at Louisville. Mrs. Johnson and two
children, Mrs. Bessie Johnson Mariani
and Loftin Edwards Johnson survive
him.

TRAvERs' CASE

Former Detroiter, Accused Of Steal

against Arthur Nj. Travers, former

Its possession limited number OF
all issues of United States stamps.
Many OF the older issues have be-
come very rare.
Travers. who had charge OF the sell
ing and issue of stamps, found that
he had regular gold mine In his
charge, provided he could sell some
OF the very rare stamps to the deal
ers. So he simply certified that a
portion OF the stamps under ns
charge-being obsolete issue as far ns
use by the public was concerned
had been legally destroyed after cou-
demnation. Instead OF destroying
them, however, he withheld them and
substituted stamps in current use 10
amount equal TO those condemned,
disposing of the rare issues to deal
ers at large profit.
Travers has been indicted by the
grand jury. But as a matter OF fact,
nobody seems very sure that Travers
has violated any law, or whether a
man can be convicted of stealing
when he hasn't stolen anything.

One Of the most curious features of
England's rule of Ireland and one which
is certain to find renewed expression this
week is the manifest eagerness of the
Irish people, including the inhabitants of
Dublin. to show that they nave no quar-
rel with the royal family, which, as /
have pointed out above, has always re-
ceived particularly warm and cordial
welcome whenever any OF its members
have visited the Emerald Isle. What
ever bitterness there is In Erin in con-
nection with British rule has been d.
rected against the government rather
than against the throne.
Approaching this, Queen Victoria,
King Edward and now King George have
always turned deaf ear to the sugges-
ton that any member of their family
should become Viceroy and hold court in
their name at Dublin Castle The SOW
