JUDGES RETIREMENT BILL.

This bill has just passed the Senate and we hope
before the close of the session it will be made law
Public provision should certainly made for judges
and the state of Pennsylvania certainly afford
to take of its judges we'll any large corpora
tion takes care of it's employees.
Judges in this state are not paid. The salar-
les while fairly large, not enough to allow them
to save sufficient to live they advance in years
To keep up the dignity of their office they are COM
PEELED to expend certain amount of money which eats
up most of their salaries The very position that they
occupy Keeps them from engaging in any business
suits and thus the only provision for the old age is
shut off.
Retirement at certain age limit should be made
obligatory by law and a decent pension should be al
lowed to the judges who thus retired.
judge is an employee of the commonwealth lust
as other men are employees of business organizations
1t is coming to be more and more recognized and
adopted method of pensonng employees who have Civ
en- to business organizations many years usefulness
and who at last somewhat inefficient because of old
age.
The state can and ought to follow along the same
line experience everywhere is justifying the value of
these business pensions and 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 dignfed who have given their time to the
state not lose any of their dignity when advancing
years render them less capable of judicial filling their
positions

PENSIONS FOR BANK CLERKS.

The First National Bank of New York has adopt
ed carefully worked out voluntary contrbutory in
surance scheme for aged invalided employees The
pension fund is to be made of contributions from
the bank and from individuals, together with three
per cent. deduction from the salaries those de-
string to become benefcaries. Eligibility on account
of incapacity begins after fifteen years service;
account of old after sxtyve years of age and f-
teen years of service.
The amount of the pension is two per cent. of the
average salary for the preceding five years. maxi
mum amount being seventy per cent of the average
salary during employment, $4,000. If the bene-
fcary has not completed twenty-five years of employ
ment before retirement the pension continue for
as many years his term of service if he has
pleted this number of is to continue for life
An employees widow or orphan children are to
receive one-haf the pension, under the regula-
uons In case contributor leaves the bank before he
is eligible to the pension he is receive back the full
amount of his contribution without interest Special
cases can be provided for the discretion the bank

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

In the indictment by the New York Grand Jury
OF the two partners of the Triangle Waist Company of
whose 700 employees las lost their lives in the Asch
Building fire just three weeks ago tomorrow there is
much food for thought Undoubtedly if these two men
are proven guilty of criminal carelessness will have
speedy and terrific effect safeguarding of other
sweat shop factories because the conviction carries
with 1t the possible sentence of years Imprisonment
That 1t was criminal carelessness or money greed
that Kept the doors locked the ninth floor of that
Il-fated building must be admitted by ALL That some
body is responsible for giving the order that kept
those doors locked that employees might not leave
after work without being searched is also a logical
conclusion This responsibility only be determn-
ed by the courts. The courts and the courts alone
can fix the blame and the punishment.
The mine calamity at Throop last Friday presents
similar problem to Pennsylvania. Somebody was
responsible for that terrible loss of life He or they
should be indicted by the Grand Jury and then let the
courts OF this state establish the blame the pun
ishment therefore.
For once at any rate, Pennsylvania will do we'll
to follow New Yorks example

u. w. Peil Sells Prescription That
Means VtgOr, Vim, Vitality.
Because MI-O-NA causes the
blood to get better and more nour-
ishment it is at all times a valuable
tonic. 1t puts vigor into the mus
cles, clears up the improperly nour-
ished brain and makes strong nerves
that will stand the severest test.
Men who feel that their vitality
is slipping away; that the vim and
energy that they formerly put into
all their work is lacking; that am
bilious impulses and clever ideas do
not come as they used to-are the
kind of men that need MI-O-NA.
These are the kind of men that-a
months treatment will put in fine
shape.
Besides being peerless remedy
for indigestion MI-O-NA is a most
pronounced tonic. 1t makes the skin
clear and clean; it puts color in the
cheeks and causes dull eyes to
brighten.
If you have that blue, discomfort
ed feeling through the day and pass
restless nights, trying unsuccessful-
ly to get refreshing sleep, take a
months treatment of MI-O-NA
stomach tablets and bring the sun
shine into your life that health and
happiness always bring.
Ml-O-NA costs but SO cents at G.

Guaranteed to cure indigestion and
Immediately relieve all stomach mis-

TOM JOHNSON.

Thomas Loftn Johnson, to give his full name
was strangely contradictory person although he was
very real man. He is best known the advocate of
the three cent fare system although he a street
railway builder himself and made a financial success
out of his business, Democrat in Congress and a
staunch believer in free trade but he profted enor-
mously from the tariff steel and iron manufac-
turer. He was not a hypocrte and he sincere in
all the ideas that he advanced although assailed
every hand political demagogue. Unwittingy per-
haps, he the best kind of press agent that the
City OF Cleveland might have secured and the rapid
increase in its population is directly to the adver
tising it received because of who was it's Mayor
for four terms. He radical in the extreme and
used violent methods gain ends but it is largely
due to his moral courage force character that
Cleveland is the comparatively well lighted well policed

Bryan's "Inf1uence."
1t is expected that there will be
40 little presidential electioneering
and manouvering in Washington
during the present extra session. 1t
is significant that the Bryan in
huence has been considerably
strengthened in both houses of Con-
gress, both by elimination and addi-
tion since March 4. Many of his
friends have been added to both the
House and the Senate, while some
VINO are opposed to him are no lon
ger in power in Washington. It is
not thought that Mr.. Bryan expects
to do more than influence the nomi-
nation of a Democratic candidate.
1t is thought that he favors Wilson.
of New Jersey. 1t 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, that it is doubtful if he will be
considered as an available candidate
Dy those of the party with whom
Judgment prevails. LaFollette, 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 LaFollette
is conspicuous for his criticism of
the transfer of the army to the Mex
lean 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
easily maintained along the Rio
Grande as at the various stations
from which it was entrained, and
surely the experience of mobiliza- f,
tion and the exercise of camp life
cannot do otherwise than improve
the efficiency of a force enervated
by long inactivity. There was the
same necessity for moving the army
that there was in Roosevelt's ad- |
to send the navy
around the world, and possibly other /
reasons that Senator LaFollette and
some Others have not yet found out. /

Road Discussion.
The remainder of the session of

of good roads, principally Main

improvement which the county COM
would be submitted and then it
would be left with the council to

Brick pave was discussed, but it
was felt that it would be ad-
visable to first consult the property
owners and get their view before
any action might be taken. Mr..
Canivan suggested that a special
meeting be called for some evening
for the property owners on Main
street to meet in the town hall and
express their opinions. Mayor Kuh-
bach said if the council waited until
the next meeting that by that time
it would be known what bills passed
