Presidential Travelling Expenses

Representative Dwight proposes to build a train consisting of at least three cars-a baggage car, a sleeping car and a private car-for the exclu- sive use of the President of the United States. This train Is to cost S40;000, and the sum of $25 ,O0O is to be annu- ally appropriated to meet the expenses of the trips of the President, his guests and his attendants.
 There is nothing dangerous in this proposition. The day for accepting favors from railroads has gone never to return, and all sections of the coun- try desire to see the chief executive, to shake him by the hand and to hear his voice and his advice. To ask the President to bear the expense of travel in a style befltting the office he holds is unreasonable. A big, rich country should foot the bills, and the bill of Congressman Dwight should become law.
 The last Congress increased the pay of the President to $75,OO0 a year, but 1t failed to provide for his travelling expenses. Tn this way the increase of salary became little or no increase at all, and the only way in which the President can be left with a salary of S75, 1000 consists in giving him an ample travel fund. There is no good reason why this should not be done.

But thanks to the patience and per severance of the late Theodore Thomas, the pioneer in high class music. and other leaders of the early days, large part of the public became interested in Mozart Hadyn. Beethoven, Men delssohn. Berlioz. Lszt and Wagner and attended symphony concerts with gen. uine pleasure.
 By frequent hearing all men and women come to love the master com posers. Those who fail to hear good music when they have the opportunity not only miss a great deal that is in tellectually broadening and uplifting, but in a negative way they retard the spread of general culture.
 Music is the most pleasure of all the arts and only needs to be heard to be loved. The time is not far distant when every large city will have it's symphony orchestra. In the meantime a healthy musical atmosphere is being created by the institution known as the music festival"

BILLY SUNDAYS VERSION.

From Harper's Weekly.
 Here is the story of David and Goliath as 1t is said to have been recently told by the Rev Billy Sunday, with appro- priate gestures, to a rapt congregation of 5000.
 And so David's pa comes up to him where he was working in the field and says: Dave, better go up to the house. Your mas anxious about the other boys fighting in the army, hasn't heard from them by phone or anything. and she'd like you should look them up.' So Dave hops on a trolley and hikes to the front, and stays there with his brothers over- night.
 "In the morning old Goliath comes out in front of the Philistines and dares the Israelites to fight him.
 Who's that big stiff making all the big talk out there?' asks Dave.
 Why, that's the head cheese, the big noise,' says his brothers.
 Why don't some one soak him one ? asks Dave.
 we've all got cold feet. says the Is- ralites.
 You fellows make me tired,' says Dave, and he bikes out to the brook, gets four pebbles in his shepherds sack, slams one at Goliath and soaks him in the coco between the lamps. Goliath goes to the mat, takes the count and Dave pokes him i,, the sats, chops off his block and the whole Philistine gang skidooed."

PILLOWS AND SLEEPING.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 "Pillows are little more than a fad, and a rather harmful one at that" said a Germantown doctor. They should real ly only be used by those who sleep on their sides, as they are injurious to others When you sleep on your side your shoul- ders prevent your head from lying level on the bed, and pillows are useful to raise the head to this level. The natural and most healthful position for the ordi- nary person in sleeping Is for ones head to be kept perfectly even, just as it would be standing up. Now, for the one who lies on his back while sleeping, no pillow Is needed to keep the head in this position, and yet 99 per cent of the per- sons who sleep on their backs use pill lows, while those who sleep on their sides use far more pillow than Is necessary. People get used to having their heads and shoulders propped high up. and imag- inc they could not sleep any other way but, as a matter of fact. if they would try sleeping with little or no pillow they would not only find that they would feel better in the morning, but also would actually be more comfortable in bed and sleep much sounder throughout the night"

recent massacres to the Young Turks or to Abdul Halnid The situation is due to Moslem fanaticism. It is not claimed that the Armenians have been aggressive. They never are. They have small opportunity to become ag- gressive, surrounded as they are by heavy Mcslem populations. No relief can well come to them except through the joint action Of the powers, and there is no leason why they should not act together in the protection of the Armenians il em further brutality and persecution. It is a case that calls for joint action especially in view of what was done by all the powers in China.

Turkey and the ArmenianS

Russia has fought two wars in order to punish Turkey for the massacre of Armenians, and if the powers had let Russia have her way an end would have been put to Turkish atrocities in Armenia.
 The province lies in the mountains adjoining the Caucasian provinces of Russia, and is a part of Asiatic Fur key, near the east end of the Black sea. The Armenians are Christians while Asia Minor Is full of Moslems. Between the fanatics of that country and the army of Turkey itself the Armenians are sorely harassed, and have been from time out of mind
 The powers were ready enough to protect Christians in China when the Boxer uprising occurred, and they should be equally ready to protect the Armenians. These people>have clung to their homes and their religion against wrongs of every imaginable sort, ard it does seem as if the powers should act together to bring the long suffering Arnenians relief.

Steel COrpOratIOn'S Report

Each quarterly report of the United States Steel corporation is scanned with interest by the business public, for 1t is looked upon as a barometer of trade conditions. The corporation has established a reputation for frank ness and fair dealings and its figures are presented succinctly and intelli- gently.
 Considering the period of industrial depression through which the country is passing, the Steel corporations report just published is highly encouraging. It shows a large increase in net earn ings as compared with the correspond ing quarter of last year. After deduct ing s3,736,199 for sinking fund on bonds of subsidiary companies and de- preciation there remained net earnings of s19,1S5, ,069. The corporations busi- ness was better in March than in Feb ruary and better in February than in January. The only important item which showed a decrease as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1908 was that of unified orders on the books at the close of business March 31. The decrease was not large, how ever, and new business contracted for during the present month will, it is believed, show considerable increase over April, 1908.
 The revival of trade throughout the country has been somewhat slower than was expected, but there now are many evidences of substantial improve ment After Congress adjourns and good crops come in sight conditions will improve rapidly. There is no req son why the coming summer should not witness a high degree of pros perity.

Turkish Rule of Succession

All things are strange and peculiar in Turkey. Sons do not succeed to the throne, but brothers and cousins do. When Abdul Hamid ceases to be the ruler his eldest son would be the seventh in succession. All of one gen. eration must be exhausted before a ruler can. be lawfully called to the throne from the succeeding genera tion.
 This is why Abdul Hamid's successor is his brother, Mehemmed Rechad Eff fendi That brother is by no means a young man. He is 65 years old. Murad V, who was confined 2S years on the charge of imbecilfty, was his eldest brother.
 The line of succession scarcely per mits a young man to become Sultan. After Rechad comes Yusuf, son of Ab- dul Aziz, who is 51; then Salesman and Vahid ed-Din, brothers of Rechad, 49 and AS years old; then Sala ed-Din, son of Murad V, 43 years old; then Abdul Medjid, cousin of Abdul Hamid, 40 years old, and then comes Abdul Hamid's eldest son, Mehmid Selim, who is 39 years old.
 Rechad is general, but he has had little military experience. He Is con- sidered reformer, and the Young Turks will no doubt trust him much farther than they would Abdul Hamid. The steps in deposing a Sultan are very formal, being both political and ecclesiastical, but the impulsive na- tional assembly cut the matter short by deposing Abdul Hamid, and Rechad being next in succession was at once proclaimed Sultan of the empire and caliph of the faithful.
