TOM L. JOHNSON
By Edmund Vance Cooke.

A Man is fallen Hail him. you
Who realize him stanch and strong and true
He found dollar bound and party
He leaves City with n Civic Mind
Choosing her conduct with conscious care,
Selecting man here another there.
And scornipg labels. Craft and Graft and Greed
Ran rampant In our halls and few took heed
The Public Service and the Public Rights
Were bloody bones for wolf and Jsckal fights.
Now. the Corporate Monster ticks the hand
Where once he snarled his insoent demand
tanned it? will
But truth is truth, and his the credit still
A Man is fallen Flout him you
Who would not understand and never knew.
Tranquil in triumph, in defeat the same.
He asked your praise, nor shrked your blame
For he, a Captain OF the Common Good
earned the right to be misunderstood
Behold! he raised his hand against his class;
AVE. he forsook the Few and served the Mass
Year upon year he bore the battles brunt;
And So the hiss, the cackle and the grunt!
He found striving each his selfish part.
He leaves a City with Civic Heart
Which gives the fortune-fallen a new BIRTH
And reunites him with ais Mother Earth
Which seeks look beyond the broken law
To find the broken life, and mend it's flaw.
A Man is fallen Nay demigod.
But a plain man, close 10 The common sod
Whence springs the grass OF our humanity. Strong
Is he but human, therefore sometimes wrong.
Sometimes impatient Of the slower throng,
Sometimes unmndful OF the formal thong.
But ever with his feet set toward the height
To plant the banner OF the Common Right
And with his eye fixed on the goal,
The Vision OF People with Soul
And is he fallen? Aye but mark him well;
He rises further than he fell.
A Man is fallen? / salute him, then,
In these words. He served his fellow-men
And he is passing. But he comes again!
He comes again! not in that full-feshed form,
Which revelled in the charge, which rode the storm.
But in that frm-fxed spirit. which was he
That heritage he left for you and me;
Before Vested Wrong TO bow the knee,
Before no Righteous Fight to shrk or fee,
Before all else to make men free, free. free!
