ILLINOIS FOR OLD AGE PENSIONS

The English system of old-age PEN
sions has been regarded in America as
a step toward socialism. But our own
country may follow in this line.
, AS already noticed IN these columns,
Congressman Lundin of Illinois has
offered a resolution directing the speak
er of the House of Representatives to
appoint a committee to report on the
various old age relief measures now In
operation in different countries OF the
world. 1t was thought at first that
Congressman Lundin would be alone
in this. but now comes Joint resolu-
ton Of the Illinois Legislature urging
Senators and Congressman from Illinois
to do all in their power to bring about
tho adoption of the Lundin resolution
II is the legislators of the great prairie
state" who ask for the appointment OF
a committee OF Investigation. They also
declare: "This question has been sue
cessfully solved in other countries and,
to a great degree, has abolished aims
and homes for the poor and needy and
caused this class of citizens to be hap
pier In the communities where they re-
side"
Old age pensions are certainly pre-
ferable to almshouses. Generally the
pensions are limited to those over 10
years of ago whose annual Incomes are
less than $50 each.

The late Isaac H Bromley, who was
for many years one of the editors Of
the New York Tribune, and was re-
garded as unsurpassed for the bril-
lancy OF his wit and the fine quality of
his English style. was also for some
years an officer under the federal gov
ernment of the Union Pacific at the
time when the headquarters of that
railroad were at Boston. year or
two after Mr.. Bronfleys association
with the Union Pacific was ended by
reason of the purchase of the property
by Jay Gould. he told to me some OF
his interesting experiences while In that
railway service.
But I think the most sensational.
certainly the most startling experience
1 had" said Mr.. Bromley. was one
which, II told to me as being the eX-
periencc of another, l should be In

shock. and taught me that, long as we
live, we are constantly discovering new

There was a meeting OF the board
one day, and In the course OF IT word

in the ante-room gentleman who de-
sired to appear before the board and
make a statement. 1t was an unusual
request, but in view of tho national
reputation that this man had. we were
bound to hear what he had to say.
He was a United States senator. He
was idollzed by the people of his state.
He was especially regarded as the true
friend of the plain people. and he cul-
tlvated to the utmost sort of rough
and ready manner and personal ap-
pearance.
"In due time he was admitted to the
room. I knew him by sight and had
often seen him in his place In the
senate OF course. We were all curious
to know why he should have appeared
before us at that time.
"He began by saying that he was
practical man and in the habit of COM
Ing right to the point, and Mt once
backed UP his statement by declaring
that he wanted very much to be re-
tanned as special counsel for the rail-
road company without public an

mind as a retainer fee. He replied that
he thought $4,000 a year was the prop-
er sum.
We'll, that was not an excessive re-
tainer In case he rendered a fair eduiy-
alent in the way of service; we had
paid larger counsel fees than that In a
single case. But we wanted to know
what kind of services the senator pro
posed to render-and shall never for
get the slowly increasing look of
amazement with which we heard him
specify the sort of services he had In
