This Is My 71st Birthday WILLIAM A. NASH. .William A. Nash, who has become a part nf r in the great banking firm of J. 'P. Morgan and Company, was born In Hudson, N. V., January 18, 1S10. He started Ms business career aa a messenger hoy in the Corn Kxtbange bank In New York City and rose in the service until be became president of the Institution in 1S3., He was made president of the New York Clearing House association in 1SD5. and was one of the committee that bought the land hnd directed the construction of the new Clearing House. In the financial flurry of 1907. as well as in that of 1S93, his activities in the Clearing House association aided very much in the restoration of public confidence. Mr. Nash is probably bct known as the father of tho brunch bank idea, and the Corn Kxchange bank under his direction aa president was the first to establish branches after the law to penult them was passed.

An Agitator

People have curious ideas. A few days ago it seems La Follette 'was bailed as an "agitator." Now he is merely "progressive." This matter of being an agitator is all in the point of view. Wendell Phillips was an "agitator." So much has the word "agitator" been used by men of self sh motive in talking of other folks who saw bad conditions and insisted on saying something about it that it has almost become a synonym for plain ordinary common decency.

The other night in a rather pretentious hotel in Indianapolis a very prominent man in this state who controls many votes besides his own In the state senate, was asked: "What do you think of Ed Perkins?" "He is an agitator," was the reply as if. that settled it. Ed Perkins Is the head of organized labor In this state. He is appearing before the legislature trying to get suitable legislation on the statutes for all the workmen of Indiana whether they belong to the union or not. Just to show what sort of an agitator Perkins is it is well to consider the fact that since his proposition to deal with the Democratic party was turned down by the last session of the legislature which gave him direct assurance before the election of two years ago that it would treat his cuuse with some consideration and that cause is the cause of every citizen rich or poor in the state of Indiana Perkins started out with his friend, Henry Bullock, of the Indianapolis bar, to gather up accurate information of what Is being done all over the world. Perkins has complete reports from our own United States consuls showing what has been done in the employers' liability acts. Each case shows more progress than the United States. Therefore when Perkins comes before the state legislature we find very wealthy and prominent senators and their representatives dismissing him us an "agitator." Here is a sample of tho Incendiary and wild talk that Perkins rouses his followers into an insensible frenzy with: The Indiana Appellate court has Just decided that a manager of a circus may waive a railroad's liability not only to him and his beasts but for his employes and in effect decides that the roads may owe no duty to the citizen but to tako his property by eminent domain and destroy his 11 fo through contract. There is no provision in these compensation schemes to invalidate contracts of waiver. The British Act provides for substitutes to be chosen by ballot wherein the terms must be as favorable as the act and that "there shall be no obligation upon the workmen to join" and that they must be approved by the registrar of friendly societies and that '"this act shall apply notwithstanding any contract to the contrary made after the commencement of this act." Consul-General Bond writing me from Copenhagen, Denmark, says: "Agreements between the employes and the employers to the effect that the provisions of this law shall not apply, or to the effect that the employes shall pay an insurance premium according to this law or a part of same, have no validity." . Legalizing the Fellow-Bervant Rule Under the British Compensation Act and under the acts of all her provinces the employer can be compelled to respond in damages to employes for the negligence of himself or any of his employes. Justice Brewer has decided that any form of negligence is actionable and the right to sue, therefore, is a constitutional right, but section 9 of the Royse act abrogates the constitutional guarantees in so far as It limits all actions to "serious or wilful misconduct of the employer or his representative." This legalized the rule of "fellow servant," and assumed risk. Just why a country dedicated to liberty should abridge or strangle constitutional rights and limit constitutional actions when monarchies give the greatest liberty and the most complete remedies, la more than I can understand. This section should he so modified aa to abolish the rule of fellow servant,' assumed risk, contributory negligence, and give the employe the rights and immunities which are enjoyed by strangers to the employer. Just as the birthright of every Englishman guarantees. This section is "seriously or wilfully" vicious and destroys the purpose of all such legislation to induce care on the part of employers. This in many particulars is an act to defeat compensation. It repeals what little "unllability" law we now have and darkens the pathway of progress with the haze of "vice-principal" and "fellow servant" which now obscures justice. , Think how wild! There is Perkins talking about the Royse bill which is before this legislature. It Is precisely like PerkinB own conversation. Perkins is standing for a decent bill for the workmen of Indiana. When you reflect that Injured and incapacitated men the wreckage of an industrial condition which is increasing Targe private fortunes means in this case not only considerable financial cost to the whole ofsociety to keep up, not only misery and suffering to the individual and his families, but is bringing up a class of Ignorant men sprung from children who are forced early on the world when you reflect that it is gradually establishing the doctrine in this country that a man is smaller than a dollar is Perkins so very much of an agitator?

Perkins is a pretty fair minded man most of the things he has in his bead he has had beaten In by force of circumstances in actual contact those that are otherwise he has acquired by actual effort and by painstaking search. He Is thoroughly the off-Bpring of America bred from some of the best stock that the early settlers had in them. Arthur Glcason ot Collier's said when he met Perkins that he was the most wellrounded In the shape of mankind be saw on his western trip. Glcason Is Inclined to state the case in big terms but he has come in daily contact with big men from John Burns ofEngland to our own Teddy and he has seen something of the manners of men and of cities.

This is no obituary of Perkins. He will live through this legislature whether he gets praise or blame. But Wayne County has three men in this legislature. Some of them may hear a prosperous senator dismissing Perkins with that "agitator" phrase. Perhaps Perkins can stand up and be measured as to character and intellect and the justice of his cause quite as well as some of those who have condemned him. Wayne County ought to give him a square deal in the employer's liability business.

TO TRY FOR LONG DISTANCE RECORD If arrangements can bo made with the management of the Coliseum, Frederick E. Miller of this city, will attempt to break the world's record for endurance tkating, said to be 36 hours and 15 minutes. Clem A. Oaar, head of the management of the Colis eum, is reported as having said the event will probably be staged, and that he believes It would arouse national interest in sporting circles. Miller states that at an average speed for thating of this nature he would probably cover approximately 130 miles in the present record time. This would mean- 2.600 laps of the Coliseum floor. Miller would be compelled to take all food and drink while in motion. "THIS DATE

The fire resulted from the touching ot a taper to an escaping gas Jet. The room was strung with paper bunting which blazed furiously for a few min utes. The department extinguished the fire with chemicals., Since annexation by Japan about two hundred thousand Koreans have cut off and sold their "topknots." ma terially reducing the price of human hair in the far eastern markets.

Baldhead Clubs

One is Being Organized in a Western City. Perhaps this report is a joke, but one thing is certain a baldhead la no joke to the man who wears it. A club of baldheads formed in every city in America would be a good thing if its members could be induced to parade hatless, through the main streets of the city. The writer would suggest that some of the members carry banners with nscriptions of such a character as to warn those who still have hair, that baldness is unnecessary; that in nearly every cane it is the result or careless ness. Banners inscribed as follows would be appropriate: "We let the dandruff germ do it." "The time to save the hair is when you have hair to save." 'When we were young, the dandruff germs worked every blessed minute. They dug our hair out by the roots, and now we aren't in it." The best banner of all would be thin, "We didn't use Parisian Sage." Leo H. Fihe sells Parisian Sage for 50 cents a large bottle, so do live drug gists everywhere. It is guaranteed to stop falling hair, itching scalp and to destroy dandruff germs and remove dandruff in two weeks, or money back. BOILER EXPLODES ON BATTLESHIP Eight Men on the Delaware Were Killed and One Is Fatally Hurt. (American News Service) Washington, Jan. 18. A wireless to day from the battleship Delaware, due at Hampton Roads, tonight, says eight seamen were killed and one fatally injured in an explosion of a boiler. Some were scalded frightfully. The dead are: Charles Henry Harp, fireman; William Hite, fireman; Co lumbus Forster, fireman; Herbert A. Brewer, fireman; Louis A. White, coal passer; Christian Jensen, and an unidentified fireman. The fatally in jured, Eugene Phillips, fireman. The Delaware was returning from her station at Guantanamo to Hampton Roads for the purpose of conveying the body of the late Chilean minister, who died in this city several weeks ago, to Valparaiso. The accident was caused by a bursting steam pipe. Absentminded Lord Derby. Lord Derby could be very .absentminded, and once on a time he walked r.ith Lord Clarendon, his opponent, and told him all the secret9 of the cabinet Lord Clarendon- listened amazed, but thought it too large an order when he was asked for his advice. It was not for him to counsel his political foes. At this intimation Lord Derby woke up. saying, "Really, I thought all the time I was talking to a colleague!" He had continued, hardly recognizing the fact, a controversy he had been baring with other ministers at the foreign office. Of course Lord Clarendon honorably preserved the cabinet secrets, but he told his story against Lord Derby and made a laugh. America's Bharo in the commerce of Liberia is extremely small. 63 Yoaro of An Younger Than at 40 Mrs. J. V. McPeek, of Herbert, ' Sa.sk., Can., is more than pleased ' with the results obtained from the use of Duffy's Fure Malt Whisker, which has been of great benefit to her family. She says in her letter: "I have been usm Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for the past ten years. It is the best health giver I ever used. I am now 63 years of age, but I am looainfj and feeling younger than at 40. My friends all say, 'How young: you look!' "It has also proved just the thing for my daughter, who lives in Ohio. She had such weak nerves and heart that the slightest move would startle her. Your wonderful remedy has practically overcome this, and has done her more good than all other treatments. Mr. McPeek writes about his remarkable experience: I am 67 years of age, and for a number of years I haven't been strong. I ha -a weak heart and for some time was almost helpless. Lately I have been, using Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and it has helped me wonderfully. I sincerely recommend Duffy's Pare Malt Whiskey to every one."

EDUCATORS WATCH

THE PENSION BILL Fate of Measure Entered on Monday Will Be Followed with Interest. (Palladium Spfcial) Indianapolis, Jan. 15. The fate of the teacherB' pension bill, introduced Monday by Senator George W. Curtis will be watched with anxiety by about 17,000 members of the profession. It was one of the final acts of Dr, R. J. Aley, former state superintend ent of public instruction, before he left to become president of Maine uni versity to recommend to Governor Marshall the passage of a law provid ing for annuities and retirement allowances for teachers. Since then the state board of education and all the grown-up children of "The Hoosier Schoolmaster" have thrown their whole weight toward- pushing it through. This bill would give a teacher, after thirty-five years service, the right to retire and be paid the sum of 1 percent of his average yearly salary for the live years previous to retirement, multiplied by the number of years of service. The minimum pension would be $250 yearly. A Permanent Fund. A permanent fund, consisting of all the legislative endowments the teachers may be able to win, and a current fund are to be the financial backing of the pension scheme. The current fund is to consist of all the interest on the permanent fund, 1 per cent "of the teachers' salaries annually, and 1 per cent of all benefits paid under the law. The funds are to be under the control of a board of five directors with the attorney general as an ex-offlcio member. All will serve without pay. The beneficiaries will be all the teachers Honest Druggist Gives Good Advice Having suffered for some time with backache and after being treated by many physicians for bladder trouble without any good results I was induced by my druggist to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
