ANOTHER n1ow Ar EXPOSE.

The modern capitalist is in con- spiracy with the modern wizards who invent things and construct things to make life weary wherever 1t is en- countered This Is especially notice- able among the conspirators who ca- ter to the comforts of the ocean trav- eler. If they are. successful in their designs and there is no reason to doubt their success they will in the long run deprive those who go a-globe trotting for the rest there is in 1t of all pleasure and recuperation.
 The civilized world Is at the pres ent moment birding itself on the suc- cessful construction of steamships which gratify every wish one can have on land. They are immense caravansaries in all that that term implies and they rush across the ocean at great speed in their mad determination to let passengers get the least possible benefit from the cruise. Having theoretically left be- hind habits and customs which have become wearisome, though in them- selves the inevitable aecompaniments of modern social development, they board these immense steamers only to find the same old habits and cus- toms presented in an overwhelming form and insatiate in their demand to be acknowledged. The steamer chair becomes as impossible at sea as at home or in ones office. Wire less telegraphy is soon to work from shore to shore carrying with it to nerve-racked fugitives from the pace that kills the assurance of new im- prisonment amid the annoyances of life.

 of his desire to add to the diversions
 of an ocean voyage. He is after the
 money series of performances or

 passengers. He tells of the immense
 amount of money 1t costs him tC

 his eyes on the box office and not or the traveller, who becomes more ana
 more the victim to be plucked, that ht is ready to provide series o1 | sea entertainments between port' which would give pleasure to thu passengers and reduce his travelins expenses. It may be said at once l that if it Is for the good of the hu man race to float cities on the higl } seas, with all of the other diversions 7 of night off in one of the attractiv , cities of the country, then the theate 5 might just as we'll be added. When is once admitted that the aim o $ genius is to destroy the romance 0 . 8 sea trip with its restful experience l and its reviving influence there f logically no end to the additiona g blows which may be given the repos , the world is so much in need of.
