Springfield Republican: Bryan SAID
in the campaign of 1905 that conrol by
one concern of more than so per cent
of the country's production in any
line meant n tended to monopoly and
that the government should draw the
line there as q practical and reasonable
measure of trust RESTRICTION. This pro-
position was much ridiculed by some
people. Now Chairman E. H. Gary of
the United States steel corporation
names 60 per cent of the country's pro-
duction in the steel line a enough for
any one concern to contrul without
raising question Of monopoly and we
say that corporation intends to keep
within that proportion. He is thus
evidently not far from the Bryan
view of what is q good test of mono
poly or nonmonopoly.

TOM L. JOHNSON.

Herbert s. Bigelow, at the Cincin-
natl memorial services, thus desired
the tribute given by the people of
Cleveland to Tom Johnson.
There was no pageant to attract the
crowd Only a squad of mounted
police, a hearse and a few carriages.
But the body OF Tom johnson was in
that hearse and two hundred thousand
people stood in the rain.
"A whole city full of people block on
block of them, mile and mile. It was
an amazing 0utpourlng of the popu-
lace. But it was more than that. What
was written that day in the face of the
crowd was more remarkable than the
crowd itself. It was the way that the
manner of the crowd changed as we
proceeded down town from the
a~ristocratic section to the poorer dis
trlcts. It was unmistakeable that as
the dwellings became more humble the
red eyes in the crowd began to mul.
tiply Az the homes Of tho pool were
approached and signs of poverty ap-
peared, the emotion of the crowd
deepened manifestly and the growing
numbers assumed the character OF
genuine mOurneIs. The common
people. wept as he passed.
Then OF q sudden in these hushed
streets we heard the telling of q bell.
It was the bell of the Catholic cathe.
dral. The great belfry spoke as the
hearse drew near 1t tolled out a
city = grief. 1t sounded forth a city's
praise.
Tom johnson was a Protestant.
But the silent multitude stood with
uncovered heads and forgotten creeds.
Here was a man who had been
obodient unto his heavenly vision.
Here was a man who had fought q
good light. who had kept the faith.
Here was a man of splendid endow.
ment and great riches, who had
turned aside to serve the cause of free.
dom and justice among men. In this
service he lost his fortune. His
malady, too, was due to the overtax OF
his %stupendous labors. He literally
gave his life and all that be had in as
holy a cause as men ever knew.
What then was the meaning of thu

Going Back to School.

There is a notion current in this
country that the average American boy
hates school and would rather be
whipped than go back to lessons after
vacation or at any time when he i'm
agiped himself done with books for
sver. If it is true Of the average, then
the future Of usefulness. prosperity
and honor lies with a small minority Of
the youth Of the land. There are boys
who, while enjoying vacation holidays,
are glad when the day comes again to
take up their tasks of preparation for
their life work. They realize that
school work must be mastered and
that the more attentive the student is
the quicker the grind is over and the
ooner more interesting tasks will be-
gin.
1t is true that the boys most enthu-
siastic about school are the grownups
against whom the door is closed. For
them it is too late to 60 back. Perhaps
IN their young days they were in that
majority-if it is a majority-who
hated the sound Of the school bell and
kept their eyes on the clock instead of
books when school was "in." Out in
the world they soon learned the bene-
fits Of school work and training. Alas.
the knowledge came too. late! The
hero Of the ball field gets no end Of
popular applause, but it is ephemeral
and valueless in comparison with the
respect and honor with which . all
classes reward the good scholar. Here
is a school prize worth winning, and
the boy who cannot realize it now
should take it on faith from his elders.

A Bit Of japanese Strategy That De-

A Bit Of japanese Strategy That De-
eeived the Enemy.
Many a man has failed to guess an
easy riddle because the. simple solution
looked like a trap to him. Here is an
instance in which this trait Of human
nature was cleverly played upon by a
japanese nobleman.
with only 300 men before an enemy
with 10000 and barely had time to
reich his castle ahead Of his foes.
There were no requirements near at
hand, and he knew that If an attempt
was made to storm his defenses he
and his lei would be dead before help
could come.
The enemy's forces advanced rapid
", and scouts rode up near the castle
to ~reconnoiter. To their amazement,
they found the gates. doors and win
dows open and all the appearance Of
a holiday celebration. They rode hasti-
" back to inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music In the castle.
The powerful enemy was too wise a
nan to put his head into any such trap
as that. The defenders of the castle
must have some plan to slaughter his
forces by wholesale or they would
never invite him in that way. He
drew back to a safe distance and en-
camped to await developments.
Soon the re-enforcements for the cas-
tie came up behind, attacked him sud
denly and defeated him. while the gar
rison, which had risked all on its
stratagem, charged him on the other
side.
