PENNSYLVANIA
RAILROAD
@I
OFF for Cleveland T!

Cleveland is SO miles
from New York, but you
can reach the Lake City
in IA hours by using the
train leaving Pennsylvania
Station at 6.32 p. NJ. The
train arrives in Cleveland
at 7.3O A. NJ, in time for
breakfast before business.
If you are destined to the
residential section, leave
the train at the Euclid
Avenue Station, if other
wise, at the Union Station
on the lake front. The
train is limited and affords
excellent service. There
is, of course, a well-ap-
pointed dining car serving
dinner. A club car sug-
gestS smoke and refresh
ment and companionShip.
AS a part of its equipment
there is also a barber, who
tides up mems clothes, and
a bath.
The observation and Ii
brary car suggests its own
purpose. 1t is open to all
passengers and is a social
exchange, a reading room
and an outlook on the
passing scenery. A la
dies maid and a manicur-
ist serve the passengers.
Drawing-rooms or state
rooms may be chosen by
those who wish more seclu-
sion than the berth af-
fords.
This train is one of the
famous trains of the land,
and it is a great favor
ite with travellers between
Cleveland and New York.
The excellence of it's
equipment and the timeli-
ness Of it's schedule make
it so.
The time table shows
five other good trains to
Cleveland leaving at con-
vcnient hours.

THE STEEL BILL-Regardless OF the
fact that the Tariff Board has made no IN
yestiCation of the steel industry, ana ol
the further fact that the members OF the
WAYS and Means Committee have had no
time to do so, that committee expects 10
bring into the House within few days
steel bill which will be labelled Demo
cratic" although IL will actually be an
adaptation OF the Cummins amendment
which was added TO the cotton bill OF the
last session. Iron ore, according TO pres
ent plans, will be put on the free list as
will barbed wire, hoop iron and, indeed
most of the forms of iron and steel Which
were made free by the Farmers Free
List" of last summer. Reductions OF from
80 TO 45 per cent on manufactured steel are
contemplated, and tin plate will probably
be cut nearly 80 per cent. 1t is believed
that a sufficient number of Insurgents can
be found in the Senate TO pass this BILL
and that thus 1t will be possible to send TO
the President another half-baked tarin
measure. which TO be consistent. he must
veto, and that thus some measure Of polit-
ical gain will be made by the Democrats
But that the chief reason which actuates
the Democrats in bringing in a steel bill
at this time is fear of Mr. Bryan is not
denied by the Democratic leaders.

BRYAN LOOMS LARGE.--With the
convenlng of Congress after the hohuay
recess the extent to which the shadow VI
William Jennings Bryan overcasts 'he
Democratic horizon and the influence ne
still exerts over his party are more tnai'
ever apparent For instance, II is due soie-
ly to the taunts which Mr.. Bryan mas
thrown at Representative Underwood tha'
the majority in the House has decided 10
report a bill revising the steel schedule De
fore taking up the wool schedule despite
the fact that the Democratic leaders pe-
lieve that their course in this respect 10
illogical and that they are sacrificing much
political advantage by doing so. The we"
of the Democratic leaders Is that they
could gain most credit with the voters py
promptly passing a wool bill substantially
the same as that they passed at the last
session. and which they believe would SO
nearly conform to the report of the Tarlil
Board that the President could not reluse
10 approve it. But even although they are
persuaded OF the correctness OF their rea-
soning in this respect, Mr.. Underwood mas
not the courage longer TO face the crlticisfii
Of the Peerless Leader, and in oroer u
prove that the chairman OF the ways anu
Means Committee is not influenced by the
steel industry at Birmingham a steel Dill
will be first reported. 1t is felt that IL is

would have been the occasion of the utmost
relief to them II the ship on which Mr.
BRYAN was recently travelling, and which
suffered a serious accident. had gone 10 the

possibility Of Mr.. Bryan's being the Presi-
Dental nominee of his party is being dis"
cussed more seriously than ever, and there
are many who fear that when the inevitanie

A SUR UPON labor.

Governor Woodrow Wilson has
gone further in his lndltcmen> Oh pro-
lection than IN other Democrat VINO
is prominently mentioned for the
presidential nomination. IN MS
speech before the National Demo-
cratic club in New York last week
the governor, according to the
New York World, interpolated this
paragraph into his prepared speech:
81 should like to know how b
got into tho game. They got in be-
cause they wouldn't work any longer
unless they got their share. IheS
said to their employers. You are cut
ting up the pie, we wont supply the
pic unless you give us a slice. l
don't blame them for it. for it was
a game of grab all around. Their
EMPLOYERS were in the same game.
They went to Washington and said.
who is going to pay the campaign
expenses next year il you don't give
us what we want:?' They were on
strike. too. They were combined on
a strike"
In this paragraph Governor Will
son indicted all labor as Well as tho
employers who are benefited by pro-
lection. He said just what the Re-
publicans have been saying for many
wears when they claimed that protec-
ton benefited labor, maintained a
wage scale here that is maintained
nowhere else in the world, and en-
abled our wage carners to live bet
ter. have more leisure to enjoy life.
and placed our labor on a. higher
moral and intellectual plano than
could be found in any other country.
Governor Wilson admits that wages
are better here than in Europe, but
he attributes this to a grab game.
rather than a deliberate system for
the benefit of labor as advocated by
William Mckinley. Thomas r. Reed,
and other eminent protectionists.
Had the learned college-bred gov
ernor of New Jersey seriously re-
Elected on this we doubt if he would
have made such an indictment against
nearly 1000. 900 factory employees Of
the United States. not to mention the
railroad men, the coal miners. and
men who are grouped into
classes of labor in the last census
statistics, all of whom share in this
benefit of higher wages. 1t is Il pref

cial slices of pic at the expense Of the

try. If wage earners are to he driven

party what hope has the Democratic
party of elccting Il president. especial

all labor with being in the game?
The great majority of people carn
their bread in the sweat of their
faces, and it has heen the boast of all
parties in American politics that they
held to policies that beentited such
people as the surest way to make our
civilization better than that of the old
world, and hold open the door of
hope to the humhlest citizen. Few
Democrats have gono so far In recent
years as did Governor Wilson in this
New York speech. 1t might have
been we'll for him and his party had

Interpolation will need explanation,
and even then it is difficult by corrcc-
ton or explanation to patch up this,

IoiAoo Xs4utlsI
One is always hearing OF new cures,
and when at a dinner party my neigh
Dor began to tell about some wonder
full results which had followed injec-
tons of sea water / paid only a polite
p%erfunctory attention to her words.
Yet some of those words stuck In my
mind. Several times 1 caught myself
bordering over the curious linking up
Of u present complex humanity with
the earliest forms Of life, upon which
this latest cure seemed to be bas.
ed.
The idea was this. so far as my nom
medical mind could grasp it. The
earliest forms of life were floating
fragments. of protoplasm (something
like jellyfish), and they appeared, it
is generally agreed, in sea water. Sea
water. therefore, formed a consider
able part Of their constitution. The
cells of which they were composed
grew in sea water and We're nourished
by it. AS they multiplied these cells
still developed in the same medium.
Sea water thus entered into the con
stitution Of all the creatures which
grew by multiplication Of cells, out of
the original jellyfish. 1t plays an i'm
portant role in the drama of the life
of man.
Every one knows there is salt in our
blood. You taste it when you pop
your finger into your mouth. Various
bad consequences follow not eating
enough salt. 1t is the salt in the sea
breezes which makes a voyage so in
MIGRATING and which gave rise to the
habit of going to the seaside" every
summer. We may try to disown our
poor relatives. the jellyfish: we nay
f1atter ourselves, if we will. that we
are not descended from floating pro-
tapasm, but in our bodies there runs
still a vital salt water fluid of the same
nature as that in which the earliest
living organisms fioated and from
which they drew their life.
This being so, it occurred to a
French man of science that it ought to
be possible, when this vital saltwater
fluid in the body decreased or became
weak. to pump in a fresh supply. 1t
would not do to use sea water as 1t
exists at present because the sea has
become very much more salt since
those early ages Of protoplasm. Then
sea water contained not quite one per
cent of salt. Now it contains nearly
3 1-2 per cent. Therefore, it must be
diluted in order to get it down to the
strength Of the vital salt water in our
bodies. which. let me repeat, is ex-
actly the same al the prehistoric sea
water in which the earliest forms of
life appeared.
You will not wonder at my thoughts
returning to this wonderful chain of
connection between man and jellyfish.
There could hardly be two organisms
more unlike. Man, with his compli-
Gated activities-''in action how like
an angel! in apprehension how like a

But here was a vivid homely proof of
1t. In a flash one saw the whole

OLD AGE PENSIONS AND
POVERTY.

w. T. Stead the other day sent over
to the New York American the result
of a breakfast interview with LLOYD
George, during which his chancellor
OF the British eNchequer praised his
new compulsory insurance law to the
extent of four columns of fine type.
Probably Lloyd George did not have
much of a breakfast. but he had a
fine talk of the kind that he likes
about the wonderful things tina he
has done. Finally Mr.. Stead asked
him how these things worked out in
hard cash to the national treasury.
Here is Mr.. Georges answer:
"Old age pensions, I told you, cost
$4,000. 900 n year. The contribu-
ton of the state to the insurance fund.
in full operation, which / reckon will
be about eighteen years.. will amount
to about $40. OOO. 900. That is to saw.
In our two measures of social reform.
the state distributes sos. 900, 900 a
year among the poorer classes Of the
community. which thus develops self
respect and accustoms them to the
responsible exercise Of civic duties.'
The present cost of the old age pen.
sions is tolerably accurate, inasmuch
do Tic oySIciIl 10 dill ACTUAL OpeTaIlOn.
but in regard to the insurance cost
to the state Lloyd Georges answer
is a guess. and his guesses hitherto
have never been too large but often
too small. At any rate our actual
army pension list of about $3.50, OO0,-
900 Il year. without regard to the pro-
posed addition to it, stands up like
a full-grown man in comparison with
the $105. 900. 900 which Lloyd George
reckons that he has already legislat-
ed out of the British treasury.
Lloyd George. however, has only
just begun. II his coalition majority
holds out he will get the money Of
England into the right pockets. His
notion is to buy off poverty, and turn
It into prosperity. not with his own
money but by a general redistribution
of the money Of the community. In
q speech In Wales last week he said:
THE national income was $5,OO0,-
000.0 200. That vas revealed income.
That mean $1,000 a year for every
family. Yet one-third of that income

membered, and being in Paris a week
or two later I made inquiries and
learned that there are two marine dis
pensaries in poor quarters where in
jections are given under medical adj

and close by, in the Rue de I'Arrivce,
I saw a crowd Of mothers with chill

In other rooms the process of in

chairs We're little patients with tubes
running to their thighs (where the in
lection is made) from glass bottles
filled with the salt fluid. It is aston
lsning to notice how large a quantity
tonishing are the rapid results it pro-
duces. not only In children, but in
grown-up people. There is at the dis
pensary n very large collection of
photographs. all dated, which show
how the patients nave changed. Up
VI TIE common Dut often fatal infan-
tile disorder called gastro-enteritis
(known more generally as Summer
complaint") the treatment has en-
ceedingly good effects. Children are
brought in mere skeletons, scarcely
breathing. At once the salt water be-
gins they are transformed. On other
mornings women are received, and in
the evenings men who are at work all
day. The rule as to payment is PAY
what o can," and it is honorably
observed. Only those who arc very
poor are treated free.
The proportion Of complete cures
registered is high. Digestive organs
which refuse to work and skins which
are made abhorrent by eczema or 9TH
er diseases are shown by the books of
the dispensaries to yield steadily to
the infections and to become sound
and healthy once more. Also there
are many other complaints in which
the treatment has been Of value. L
shall not name them; It is cruel to
raise in sufferers hopes which may not
be justified. But there cannot be
much doubt that further effects of the
cure will as time zoe on be able to
be guaranteed with as much conf
dence as are its results in stomach
and skin disorders at present.
