TOM JOHNSOX.
Thomas Loftin Johnson, to give his full name,
was a strangely contradictory person although he was
a very real man. 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.

PLAY HALL!
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
