He is best known as the advocate of the three cent fare system although he was a street railway builder himself and made a financial success out of his business. A Democrat in Congress and a staunch believer in free trade but he profited enor mously from the tariff as a steel and iron manufac turer. He was not a hypocrite and he was sincere in all tho ideas that he advanced, although assailed on every hand as a political demagogue. Unwittingly, per haps, he was the best kind of a press agent that the City of Cleveland might have secured and tho rapid Increase in its population is directly due to the adver tising it received because of the man who was its Mayor for four terms. He was radical in the extreme and used violent methods to gain his ends but it is largely due to his moral courage and force of character that Cleveland is the comparatively well lighted, well policed and well built city that it is. New York's character is improving in the provin ces. A New England minister has Just denounced the moral depravity of Philadelphia, San Francisco and Bos ton, and passed over this city without a word. Edi torial in New York World. Improving? Not neces sarily. Perhaps the divine from New England realized that Now York is hopeless. O A GOOD HXAMPLK. In the indictment by the New York Grand Jury of the two partners of the Triangle Waist Company of whose 700 employees 145 lost their lives in the Asch Building lire just three weeks ago tomorrow there is much food for thought. Undoubtedly if these two men are proven guilty of criminal carelessness, it will have a speedy and terrific effect upon safeguarding of other sweat shop factories, because the conviction carries with it tho possible sentence of 20 years imprisonment. That it was criminal carelessness or money greed that kept the doors locked on the ninth floor of that Ill-fated building must bo admitted by all. That some body is responsible for giving tho order that kept those doors locked so that employees might not leave after work without being searched is also a logical conclusion. This responsibility can only be dotermn ed by tho courts. Tho courts and the courts alone can fix the blame and tho punishment. The mine calamity at Throop last Friday presents a similar problem to Pennsylvania. Somebody was responsible for that terrible loss of life. Ho or they should be indicted by the Grand Jury and then let the courts of this state establish the blame and the pun ishment therefore. For once, at any rate, Pennsylvania will do well to follow New York's example. PENSIONS FOK BANK CLKItKS. The First National Bank of New York has adopt ed a carefully worked out voluntary contributory in surance scheme for aged or invalided employes. The pension fund is to be made up of contributions from the bank and from individuals, together with a three per cent, deduction from the salaries of those de siring to become beneficiaries. Eligibility on account of incapacity begins after fifteen years' service; on account of old age, after sixty-five years of age and fif teen years of service. The amount of the pension is two per cent, of the average salary for the preceding five years, tho maxi mum amount being seventy per cent, of the average salary during employment, or $5,000. If the bene ficiary has not completed twenty-five years of employ ment before retirement, the pension is to continue for as many years as his term of service; if he has com pleted this number of years it is to continue for life. An employe's widow or orphan children are to receive one-half the pension, under the same regula Hons. In case a contributor leaves the bank before he is eligible to the pension he is to receive back the full amount of his contribution without interest. Special cases can bo provided for at the discretion of the bank. Francis L. Hine is president of the First National; C. D. Backus, who is largely responsible for the pension plan. Is cashier.

Wednesday saw the first of the two occasions when the base ball critiques sounds like an epithet hurled at the empire? doesn't It slip onto tho front pages of the evening dailies and lot looso a lot of printed en thusiasm anent the opening of tho season. The other occasion is but pshaw, you can guess it without our tolling you. The pennant fight in both of the major leagues and of inumerable smaller leagues all over the coun try is on at last. Men may come and men go but strikes go on forever, that is unless the batter connects with tho spereoid In which case It goes still farther. That the Interest In baseball Is something more than a mere subject for jest is shown by the fact that over 7,000,000 fans witnessed the games of the two associations last year. Baseball is tho national game without a rival and at least one of the attributes of Amoricanisms stands behind tho sport, namely, the spirit of the clean, fine, square, fair, deal. It is gratifying to note that this town has such bright prospects of a rattling good team this season. Wo wish them every success and our earnest hope Is that they will receive sufficient support to enable them to go after and capture the pennant of the North eastern league of Pennsylvania! JUDGE'S RETIREMENT BILL. This bill has just passed the Senate and we hope before the close of the session it will be made a law. Public provision should certainly be made for judges and the state of Pennsylvania can most certainly afford to take care of its judges as well as any largo corpora tion takes care of Its employees. Judges in this state are not over paid. The salar ies, while fairly large, are not enough to allow them to save sufficient to live on as they advance in years. To keep up the dignity of their office they are com pelled to expend a certain amount of money which eats up most of their salaries. The very position that they occupy keeps them from engaging in any business pur suits and thus the only provision for the old age is shut off. Retirement at a certain age limit should be made obligatory by law and a decent pension should be al lowed to tho judges who are thus retired. A judge is an employee of the commonwealth just as other men aro employees of business organizations. It Is coming to be more and moro a recognized and adopted method of pensioning employees who have giv en to business organizations many years of usefulness and wlio are at last somewhat Inefficient becauso of old age. Tho state can and ought to follow along tho same lino experience everywhere Is Justifying the value of these business pensions and wo believe that experience would also Justify the experiment In the case of the judges. We hope that this bill will pass and that the learn ed and dignified men who have given their time to the state may not lose any of their dignity when advancing years render them less capable of judicial filling their positions. very jealous of their constitutional privileges to vote separately and dis tinctly in every matter of interna tional relation. Still, the world moves. Civil service reform was looked upon as Utopian thirty years ago, and many measures looking to ward the purification of governmen tal and commercial relations have been accomplished even in tho last ten years. Brynn's "Influence." It is expected that there will Iip iio little presidential electioneering and manouverlng in Washington during the present extra session. It is signincant that tho Bryan in nuence has been considerably strengthened in both houses of Con gress, both by elimination and addi tion since . March 4. Manv of his friends have been added to both the House and tho Senate, while some who are opposed to him are no lon ger in power in Washington. It is nut inougnt that Mr. Bryan expects iu uu more man miiuence the nomi nation of a Democratic candidate. It is thought that he favors Wilson. of New Jersey. It is known that he does not favor Harmon, Ohio. Champ Clark, the Democratic Speak er, has been talked of as a presiden tial possibility, but he. has talked so much himself and so imprudently in his long and mediocre political ca reer, mat it is doubtful If he will be considered as an available candidato by those of the party with whom judgment prevails. LaFolIette, of Wisconsin, is much talked of as the probable Republican nominee for the presidency, and the race Is now supposed to lie between him, Taft and Roosevelt. Senator LaFolIette is conspicuous for his criticism of wio transier or tne army to the Mex ican border. He denounces it as unnecessary and as an extravagant waste of public funds, but it Is probable that the figures will dem onstrate that the army can be as eusuy maintained along the Rio Grande as at the various stations from which it was entrained, and surely tho experience of mobiliza tion and the exercise of camp life cannot do otherwlsn th nn 1 mnrnuft the efficiency of a force enervated, nv Inni In n nil.. ft.. mi .. 1 j o mui.uiiij, i uui u was tne same necessity for moving the army that tuere was in Roosevelt's ad ministration to send the navy around the world, and nossiblv nthpr reasons that Senator LaFolIette and1 some others have not yet found out. i CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
