A GREAT MAN GONE.

A shadow fell athwart the RS
ing sun of this New Day when Oh
Monday last the news flasheo
round world that Tom Johnson
Of Cleveland, Ohio, was no more.
An able second of the lmmoftai
George. he died on flsgah
heights in full view of the Prom
ised Land. But for the mlnions
of darkness which took hlm from
the thick of the fight over a year
ago, he would have gone over Wlth
his people and fully possessed It
Yet never word Of bitterness OF
repining fell from the lips OF TINS
brave chivalrous man. On ms dH
INC bed be expressed the WISH
chat his face might prove pray
err of thanksgiving for his paSt
life and ii love letter to all man
kind. -
/ The newspapers recording MS
death. spoke of his broken Splfi,
unable to rally his failing bodN.
The reporter unconsclonsly read
into his life the weakness OF the
average man; but Tom johnson
never knew when he was whipped
He WAS ever courageous IN the
face Of defeat, and fell but to rise
AGAIN the stronger for the fall.
The loss of his fortune never
phased him In reply to TREND
who wrote him on that occasion
he said: =,
mo loss of mere dollars will
ever cause me to give up the light
for the things in which believe
Whatever happens I'm in the
fight in the peoples interest until
the end of my life. We are Ger.
tain to win the fight in Cleveland
the time for q long term franchise
grant to any private monopoly IS
forever passed here. Victory may
be little delayed but it is sure
to come
just as he predicted, victory did
crown his efforts only few
months later-but this victory SO
alarmed the street ear corpora
tons in every bic city in Amerr-
ca. that a sufficient corruption
fund was poured into Cleveland to
defeat the will of her peopl a
when he came up for reelection
the following fall, and took from
him the Mayoralty which had
been his by divine right Tor
twelve long years. His health
also was impaired from over-work
yet despite his triple loss he was
not east down. He said. "There
are a thousand fights left in me
vet I'll be candidate for Mayor
next term and I'll winl
But the corporations gave nm
his death blow when they forced
him out of the thick of the fight
in the cause of human rights
His life hung on the ability to
stay in the open-towerlng as he
did head and shoulders above
thousands of other able champions
in the mighty war for civic right
eousness which is being waged TIL
world over today.
IF ever man forgot himself int
Immortality, Tom Johnson was
that man!

Dh Sanders said that it was
up to the State Board Of Health
to do something to alleviate the
suf1'erings of those who were eonl-
PEELED to reside along the bayou.
I'e said great part of tive pollC-
ton and consequent deplorable
condition, was due to the fact
that the sugar factories emptied
their refuse and hot waters into
the stream. While he admitted
the necessity of encouraging these
industries. he disputed the cor
rectness of that part of the com
mittee's report which held that
the sugar factories had nothing TO
do with the conditions obtaining.
The gist Of the reports flied to-
day is that the whole of the
banks of the Teche arc thickly
populated and that the human
and animal excrement washing
into the stream and the sewerage
and other organic matter empty
ing into it, is greater than the
stream can possibly carry off or
absorb.
The water hyacinth plays some
part in this, in that it was found
that its roots act as seine and
prevent the free movements Of
the fish, which often die from
lack Of oxygen,
1t is understood that an appeal
will be made 10 the Legislature
at its next session Of an approp.
ration to execute the works
which the State Board of Eng.
neers may determine necessary to
cope with the situation, which IS
really serious.

stream met here today in a three
hour session, and made report OF
its findings. as follows;
"To the President and Members
of the Louisiana State Board Of
Health, Franklin, La
eve. your committee on Teche
investigation. after careful review
Of the several reports on the eX-
animation and investigation of the
polluted condition Of Bayou
Teche, beg leave to submit the
following as being. in our opln-
ion, the causes Of the said pol
luton. to-wit
"The banks are thickly settled,
and contain many towns, sugar
factories and sawmills. Very lit
tie care is taken Of waste mat
ter. and the sewage from towns
runs diuactly info the stream.
The stream is small aud sluggish
and without volume sufficient ia
dispose of he waste mater put
into il. The pollution caused by
these conditions is increased in
the sugar season by the fact that
most of the sugar factories run
their sweet water into the stream.
and by the fact that the seasonal
low stage Of the stream assists in
aggravating these conditions. All
this is embodied and detailed in
the report Of DR.. Hamilton p.
Jones and George II. Taylor, State
analyst. attached hereto. and
made a part Of this report and
recommendation.
"In view of these findings, we
beg leave to submit the following
recommendations:
81. That the Louisiana State
Board of Health exhaust every
endeavor in it's official and per-
Sonal capacity to relieve said con-
dition of pollution by requesting
the State engineers to formulate
plans and recommendations for
the introduction of fresh water
from such sources as in their
opinion will best contribute to
the volume and flow of the Teche.
"2. We further recommend
that that body, the Louisiana
State Board of Health, adopt
such especial methods as to ma
terially reduce the pollution of
the Teche by exercising its pre-
rogative toward the estoppel of
using it as a common sewer for
human, animal and vegetable mat
hrr.
"3. We also recommend that
it (the Louisiana State Board Of
Healthy adopt a law with all
equity to those concerned, provid-
ing means and methods of Kidding
the Teche of the deleterious prop
,rties of the millions of gallons
Of condensed water emanating
from the numerous refiner1es
along its banks; and further, pro-
hibit the dumping into the Bayou

innings, filter press mud, or any
other communicating washings or

Very Easy

Some people complain that they
can't stop papers coming to their ad-
dress, yet it is the easiest thing in
the world to get rid of a paper you
don't want. Pay what you owe and
then refuse to receive it any more,
but don't reverse the operation. II
you refuse to take it without paying
what you owe you might just as well
refuse to pay for the groceries that
had been delivered at your door and
used by you. There is no difference
in the principle. If you don't want
a paper you can surely find it out be-
fore you owe several years on sub
scription.- Jewel Republican.

What to Do

If / should see crimson cat
Slide up a crooked path
And spring upon purple rat
Suspended from lath,
My doctor would look wise and say:
my friend, you have the habit!
Just take little tip today
And eat no more Welsh rabbitl''
And then perhaps crocodile
MAY blink from overhead,
And babboon soldiers single file
May march across the bed;
And if wake the neighbors they
Declare I'm only joking.
The doctor says: Il think you may
Cut out tobacco smokingr'
Perhaps some night across the wall
i see red owl climb,
When chimney tops look CHASTITY tai
And bells of midnight chime, =
l watch him till the east is gray
And see his green eyes blinking,
And later on the doctor1l say:
'Cut out that coffee drinking!"
But should grassgreen elephant
With jewels in his toes,
Or golden parrots rave and rant
Each time try to doze,
I'll seek no doctor, that is sure;
I'd shun the flowing fiagon,
An jump aboard to try once more
The good old water wagon.
