Bryan and the Cabinet.

OF course, Mr.. Bryan does not want
Cabinet position. Thrice candidate
for the Presidency, and with a linger-
ing hope that even yet his ambition
may be realized, Mr.. Bryan probably
regards Cabinet office as beneath his
dignity. Besides this, he wants to be
in an independent position He has a
newspaper through which he can dis
seminate his views, and he does not
hesitate to express his mind. There
are many things which he will want to
say during the next four years, and a
portfolio would bind him hand and
foot. Above all, Mr.. Bryan likes to
make money, and why should he sacri-
fee the remunerative lecture platform
for the paltry honor of official title?
So Mr.. Bryan, being wise in his day
and generation, will not enter President
Wilson's Cabinet. There are other
things for him to do.

Progressive PENNSYLVANIA.

As one of the results of the election
in Pennsylvania, one of the new State
Senators, Philadelphia, has promised
to introduce at the coming session of
the Legislature constitutional amend
ment for woman suffrage.
The Republican, Democratic and
Washington parties of the keystone
State by their platforms are pledged to
woman suffrage. The measure which
Senator-elect Farley proposes to intro
duce, therefore, ought to have the
unanimous support of both houses. AT
any rate, it is hardly likely to encoun-
ter serious opposition, and there can
be little doubt that the first step toward
the amendment of the constitution of
Pennsylvania to permit women to vote
will be accomplished early in the COM
ing year
Thus, in all likelihood, PENNSYLVANIA
will be the first Eastern State to grant
universal suffrage to women.

Mr.. MacVeagh's Drinking Cup Order

By an official order, issued BY the
Secretary of the Treasury, the ban is
put on the common drinking cup gen.
orally in Use on railway cars, ships, and
other conveyances. The order affects
only those carriers operating in inter
state commerce, but as twenty-six
States already have passed laws gov
erning the drinking cup, all carriers
are, or soon will be, obliged to respect
this restriction While the campaign
for sterilization of germs easily may be
carried to a ridiculous extreme, most
persons will favor the passing of the
drinking cup. Especially is this true in
railway coaches occupied by all sorts
of travellers. Whether the drinking cup
carries disease or not, it is not clean.
But some carriers may have a way
of evading the law. Many travellers do
not possess private drinking cup. Be-
fore the order went into effect the
drinking cup used TO be in evidence in
SSAAAN SAeNNSs DuA WIKI lllC lld pdSStQ
into another State, where the cup was
forbidden, it disappeared. Not for
long, however, for the porter proved
most obliging, and at each request
would produce the cup, allowing it to
continue in common service. A little
quiet search, even when the porter was
not available, will reveal the cup in
some locker in the Mushroom.
The drinking cup in the railway day
coach sometimes is the least of the
travellers concerns. American railway
trains are not always clean. Chair cars
and sleeping cars generally are kept
clean, but the day coaches often are
not. And in many trains the ventila
ton is poor
Clean drinking water and clean drink
ing cups are good, but fresh air is still
better.

Historic Name Passes.

The residence of the late Edward ].
Phelps. Ambassador to England. and for
so long time leading factor in the life
Of Burlington and Vermont, dismantled of
its furniture and equipments, is now on
the market.
This circumstance is worthy of espe-
cial note. for II marks the passing of a
great name as far as the city and State
are cOncerned-a name notable in our
history for the better part OF a century.
The Ambassadors father. Senator
Phelps, was a great man in his day.
and his son was still more richly en-
dowed with natural gifts. 1t is said of
Daniel Webster that when he was Min
lister to England crowds were wont to
follow him through the streets of Lon
don thinking he was Emperor or King,
so impressive was his appearance.
If We could not say as much of Mr.
Phelps. it is certain that no one. even
the least observant, could pass him on
the street without taking note that here
was remarkable man.
The Ambassadors children all came to
deaths which seem to mortals prema-
ture, and now the last link cosnecting
his immediate family with Burlington is
broken.
Everything passes in this world. but
the passing often. as in this case, brings
q sense Of loss and OF the. breaking of
ties.

Tribute to Senior Canalejas.

To the Editor: Every patriotic Span
lard will mourn the death of our beloved
minister, who in his thirty-four months
Of office did more good for Spain and its
subjects. in his short term. than Spain
had seen in the fifty years previous &c
his appointment
Mr.. Canalejas was liked by all parties
and all classes. He was working for the
betterment of conditions in Spain without
discrimination to class or party.
The pending antl-strike bill was direct
ed to a certain class of people who try
to make the working class believe that
by striking and resort TO violence that
they accomplish their purposes and bet
ter their position; but many OF those
leaders, after proclaiming a strike, ar
range with the operators TO call the
strike of and tell the men that they had
lost their cause. and that they better go
back to work; such cases as the above
happened in the province OF OvicdO in
1904, and this was the beginning OF many
families emigrating TO the land OF the
free
Mr. CanaIejas also tried TO separate
the church and state. but did not sue
coed on account Of the fanaticism that
many a Spaniard profess. He also played
a great part in the present treaty that Is
awaiting ratification in Paris about the
Moroccan question.
Senior Jose Cdnalejas was almost as
we'll known as King Alfonso, and many
of US were awaiting and looking for Senior
Canalejas to straighten up Spain. He
will be mourned by every Spaniard and
his deeds will be immortal to Spain

ARTIFICIAL SURF BATHS.
How Novel scheme Was Operated
I'm Dresden.

Frsn the Scientific American.
Probably no feature OF the interna.
tional hygiene exposition, held in Ores
den last year, attracted more general in
terest than the Cndosa artificial surf
bath. The receipts from the sale OF
tickets. and especially Of spectators
tickets, were Unexpectedly large,
| amounting sometimes TO $50 in a single
day. As the cost of operation was only
| about $40 a day. it is evident that the
artificial surf bath may be made a
very profitable as well as a very bene-
fetal institution.
The idea OF generating waves in still
water by alternately submerging and
Withdrawing solid bodies Of appropriate
form and dimension originated with
Hofrat Hoeglaner. of Munich. who in
1873 obtained a German patent for a
wave-prOducing apparatus. which was
subsequently patented in the United
States and many other countries. The
flrst experiment in the production Of an
artificial surf bath by this method was
made in 1906 in a concrete basin built in
Lake Stamberg.
The bath could be used only in sum-
mer, and. although it was very well pa
tronized on clear, hot days II was evil
dent that long periods OF fine summer
weather would be required in order TO
pay the operating expenses and provide
for amortization and fair interest on the
initial outlay.
The constructor OF the bath. Herr
Becknagel. suggested that 1t be provid-
ed with removable roof, and also with
apparatus for producing artificial surf
This plan was finally adopted after much
discussion and with grave financial mis-
gtvings, and the result surpassed all ex-
pectations. During the five months of
Its operation the bath was visited by
nearly half a million persons and earned
about $4,000. which more than covered
the cost Of construction $4,000, and the
operating expenses (abOut $1,000. The
cost OF construction was diminished
about one-half by the gratuitous con-
tributions OF many parts OF the equip
ment by exhibitors. and the site cost
nothing. but 1t appears probable that
similar enterprise would pay very well
in normal conditions. The additional
outlay for the wave-producing apparatus
would not exceed 5000.

Cling mass OF humanity disgorged from
