The “20t6 Century Limited” Club—A Growing Membership The roll now numbers thousands—brokers, bankers, law- yers, doctors, statesmen, publishers, ministers and men from every branch of commercial and professional ac- tivity who “save a business day”’ by taking the “20th Century Limited” to and from New York and Chicago in 18 hours. They have grown to know each other as one club member knows another—a familiar face, then a nod and now a growing friendship. The public, which demands and appreciates such train service, makes its own exclusive membership, is its own house committee, and finds in response to its demands all the comforts of its own high-class clubs.

We thank thee for the Emergency Curr Bill; by its wise provisions we will be en to ol a flexible currency, based upon immutable values of railroad and other cory tion stocks. We thank thee for the protec tariff on wood pulp, coal, meat, oil, lur clothing, and other /nruries. We thank thee that thou hast wisely refrained from recommending an Inheritance Tax anil |r come Tax. Such measures would be burdensome upon our opulent fellow-citizens who have in herited large sums of money from their thrifty ancestors, or by inherent cunning and speculation have absorbed so large a share of the wealth of the nation—the products of labor. We thank thee for dear old Uncle Joe Cannon, and that thou hast vested him with sup power in Congress to dictate and control legisla tion in thy interests, and in the interest of those great enterprises which are contributing so freely to continue thee in power. FROM AN “OUTSIDER: Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 23, 08. To tur Eprtor or Lire: I have here some offerings which I wish to submit to your inspection [ have a general impression that it is rather hard for an “outsider ’’ to get into your col. umns; but if you ever do honor one with a hearing, it seems that in this presentation of what, so far as I know is orginal stuff, you might find something to interest you. HS. Our Kansas City aspirant is wrong. This impression has often been disputed by editors A year or so ago a controversy raged for some weeks in the New York Sun with regard to the treatment of contributors by editors, the corresponcence having been started by a man who claimed that he had sent one of Kipling’s manuscripts the rounds, and the editors didn’t even recognize it! The truth is that editors are constantly on the lookout for new material, but like other people, they are human and some- times no doubt they may be caught napping. In this present instance our correspondents manuscript did not arouse us to the required enthusiasm, although to make sure, we did read it over twice. Here is a letter, which explains a manuscript inclosed with it, which follows it. It is from | an officer in the U. S. Infantry: Fort Ways, Detroit, Mrctt, September 24, 1008. To THe Eprror oF Lire: Inclosed please find a description of two little incidents which happened in the Philippines, and the truth of which I can vouch for, as the man mentioned as Private O'Donnel, served in the Company to which I was attached for duty If this can be used I should be pleased to re- ceive check for the value you place on it. 1 inclose stamped and addressed envelope.
