DR.. Scott the Sage of Warren and
the recognized author of the Scott law
recently visited q daughter who re-
sides here and very naturally spent
some time at the pleasant retreat OF
Middle Bass. The other day, in COM
pany with three friends, he was play
ing an innocent game in Rehberg's
pleasant hall, while Herr Rehberg
himself, smiling good humoredly, yet
suspiciously withal, was personally at
tending to the wants of his dis
tinguished guests.
Finally it happened that it became
DR.. SCOTS duty to call for s'uthin',
four cobblers we're ordered, and Herr
Rehberg speedily placed them before
the party.
"How much2" said DR.. Scott, reach
ing for his pocketbook.
"Von tollar," responded Herr Reh-
berg.
"What!" said the distinguished leg
islator.
"V-o tollsr," reiterated the i'm
perturbable Rebherg.
"Way, how IS thatP" queried the
author of the free.whisky-no. Sunday

"Vell, said Herr Rehberg, sticking
his thumbs into the armholes of his
capacious vest, "dose yoost to be fif-
teen cents, but since der Scott law dey
are twenty-five cents. Won tollar

A roar followed and the Doctor
stumbled" but it was subsequently,
learned that Herr Rehberg had been
''primed" for the occasion, and was
hanging around that party to get in
good-humored shot at the author OF
the "Scott law"

One good effect of the civil service
reform act is said to be already seen
in the independence felt by depart
ment clerks in the matter of respond
ing to calls for campaign funds. The
clerks no longer feel that their places
under the government are imperilled
by refusal to pay assessments, and
that they have the same privilege to
give or not to give that other persons
have. In the end the result of this
feeling will be seen in better and
more faithful service on the part of
government employees as servants of
the whole people and not of any po-
litical party.

GLEANINGS AFTER THE OHIO
ELECTION.

ELECTION.
The Ohio election this year, like
that of New York last year, is a
striking illustration of the political
situation. 1t was republican de-
feat, but not a democratic victory.
In both states it was an expression
of republican discomfort. In Ohio
there were evidently two forces that
decided the result. One, and the
chief force, was temperance the
other was the tariff. Yet, although
the republican party is really friend
ly to tariff and to stringent temper
ance legislation, it was defeated by
tariff and temperance votes. TIE
protectionists and the prohibitionists
combined against it from the same
feeling of dissatisfaction. The pro-
tectionists were angry because a re-
publican congress reduced the duty
on wool; the prohibitionists, because
the republican party preferred high
license to prohibition.
The wool-grower voted directly or
indirectly for the democratic candi-
dates, although he knew that they
did not represent tariff policy. and
the prohibitionist voted against the
republicans, although he knew that
his vote would crafty the liquor in
terest. The reasoning of both was
the same. In the one case it was ar
gued that republican success would
condone the reduced tax upon for
eign wool, and in the other that it
would strengthen license as against
prohibition. The republican party,
therefore, in the opinion of these
voters, must be taught that if it re-
lakes protection or evades prohibi-
ton it will be defeated. This is, of
course, very insignificant. 1t is the
position which was taken by the lib
erty party in New York in 1914, and
which defeated Henry Clay. That
event showed that to an important
part of the Wing party the restric-
ton of slavery was a more vital ques-
ton than any other, and in nine
years from that election the republi-
can party was formed. The result
in Ohio shows as plainly that to an
important part of the republican par
ty high protection and prohibition
are paramount issues, and that party
success is endangered if the extreme
position upon both is not taken.
We said last week that the result
this year in Ohio does not show that
the state will not vote for the repub-
lican ticket next year. But the fig
ures now disclose an immense prohi-
bition vote-a vote which, while it
shows no tendency toward democrat
cy, signifies plainly that prohibition
is more important than republicanism
to an immense body of citizens. In
Iowa this feeling is so strong that
the republican party proclaimed pro-
hibition, and has carried the state by
a large majority. In Maine, on the
other hand, the prohibitionists have
decided to abandon the republican
party as too sluggish upon the ques-
ton. Thus the temperance issue has
suddenly assumed prominence
which has not been anticipated, and
may produce equally unantlcipated
results hereafter.

Samuel j. Randall, IN conversa-
ton with reporter of The Press
said his canvas for the speakership
had reached more hopeful and en-
couraging stage. He had reasons
for saying that the result in Ohio
had largely Injured to his benefit, but
he was not at liberty to give details
as to his assured support from that
state or elsewhere. He further said
that the report of recent speech, in
which he said he was not for protec-
ton for the mere sake of protection,
was correct statement of his posi-
ton. He is strict constructionist
and does not find either free trade OF
a high protective tariff in the consti-
tuition; but, in securing revenue for
the support of the government, the
ample protection of our industries
may be easily and properly secured.

THE INSURANCE MONOPOLY.

The various insurance companies
doing business in this portion of the
country have CONSOLIDATED" upon
rates and rules, each being bound,
as we understand, to abide by the
code established. Recently they
sent party of men into some of the
towns of Vermont who, on hasty ex-
aminations and form, in some cases,
an imperfect understanding of facts,
have largely raised the rates on va
rious classes of risks. That the COM
panies have right to raise their
rates no one will care to deny, but
it savors greatly of the worst spirit
of monopoly when the larger compan-
les which have grown rich and infen-
tial on the patronage heretofore given
them, see fit arbitrarily to make rates
intolerable in many places. The in
surance business, stock companies
especially, have in almost all cases
paid dividends, and this in spite of
the enormous salaries of officers and
agents, and the magnificent expen-
ditures in offices and buildings.
The people have just right to
utter protest, and the privilege of
refusing to insure at all, but there
ought to be some just means where
justice could be done both ways. We
learn of several towns where the
large increase in rates are to be made
| that will refuse to accede and will
| not insure. This is the way to meet
the matter, but often times parties
who are doing business in so-called
hazardous positions, have their
property all invested in stock and
goods, machinery, etc., and they
dare not risk their property uninsur-
ed. The exorbitant rates are unjust
toward them, especially.
This monopoly is of bad nature
from the fact that new insurance
companies are not easily started and
put upon financial standing, which
makes them popular among those
seeking insurance. Hence that spir.
it of business rivalry, which, in mos
matters, so governs prices and rates
as to protect the public, canno
exist in the insurance business
The large companies which have com
bined to put up prices are liable tt
crush, SO far as they are able, an,
new ones that shall be formed. Tn
less there is fair spirit of conces
sion we see no better way for thos
who feel that they are to b
cheated than to take their own risks
The local agents are powerless t
remedy the evil, but the public ca

Despite the rumors of dynamite
plots, the marquis of Lansdowne
landed safely at Quebec last week
and took the oath of office as govern
or-general of Canada. The ceremo-
MES were elaborate and long, and
there were apparently many chances
to throw bombs if anybody had wish
ed to do so. But nobody did. Prob
ably even the widest of wild Irish
men appreciate the folly of attacking
Canadian officials on account of the
sins of England. The supply Of
governor generals is unlimited.
Moreover, an attack upon the head of
the Dominion government would only
strengen the bonds between the Brit
ish sovereign and Canada.

There has been heavy shrinkage
in the Willard stocks in the past two
months, amounting in all to some
s6O,00O,00O. Frederick Billings is a
large holder of Northern Pacific pre-
ferred stock, and the argus says his
losses "are put at S., OOO,O OO," not
withstanding which he clocks cheer
full, probably comforting himself
with the reflection that it is quite a
trick to have five millions to lose"
He probably comforts himself also
with the reflection that he is too
shrewd a man to put all his eggs in
one pocket, and that in any case the
intrinsic value of the Northern Pa
cific stock is left, regardless of the
temporary effect of the operations of
railroad sharks and bears.
