McNALL IS RIGHT. O



From the Emporia Republican:
Throwing politics aside and looking
at the life and fire insurance business
from purely business and moral
standpoint, Webb McNa1l, in his eff
forts to enforce compliance with the
laws of the state, is right. Technical
ly, in the Hillmon case he was wrong,
but in justice he wasright. The Clark
SON rate book has just been decided to
be an illegal and swind1ing scheme by
the fire insurance companies on the
people of this state. Emporia people
get it in the neck as does every other
community who patronize these COM
panies. You have no way to reach
them except through your insurance
commissioner, the legally constituted
officer of the realm, and if he fails to
do his duty the business people of the
state who feel that they must carry
some insurance are at the mercy of a
com bination of insurance cut-throats
who are robbiug them in both the rate
and the adjustment of losses. We do
not necessarily have to endorse Pop
ulism to stand by Populist official
who is trying to keep men from rob-
bing you. If job lots of these insur-
ance companies shall be driven from
the state, it will be all the better for
the state. The companies will be gone,
but the money will remain. It was, in
former days not only financial ques-
ton, but a great moral question,
whether either life or fire insurance
should be allowed; but, the devil and
the cupidity of mankind prevailed, and
now. in the height of the rapacity and
fraudulent practices these companies
are considered bniworks of safety and
angels of mercy. However, like the
whisky question, and some other ques-
tions closely associated Herewith, it
is generally conceded that they should
be regulated. After awhile we will
get back to first principles and pro-
hibit them altogether. McNall and
Boyle are two state officers who have
shown backbone, nerve, grit and force
in tackling frauds wherever they find
them, from wild cat insurance COM
pany to the Kansas City stockyards,
and Governor Leedy is to be commend
ed for proposing to stay by them if it
takes the last cent in the treasury.

ture. The robbery of the people was
stopped and the method by which it
was stopped has been declared legal
and constitutional by the federal
court. More than quarter of a mil
lion of dollars will remain in the peck
cts of the people which has heretofore
gone into the Golfers of the company
annually. The stock yards will not
submit to such an outrage This
company will also work to repeal the
present law, and to do this still hunt.
Doodle campaign for the election of
the members of the legislature is the
first and greatest necessity. Conse-
quently the prospective legislators
who fail to get in on the state commit
tees distribution from the accumulat.
ed hold ups directed against other COM
bines and corporations, needs only to
take run down to Kansas City and
call upon the management of the stock
yards for his quota.
This is the kind of a campaign we
expect to meet.''

Mr.. Sovereign's term of office would

officers during a meeting are always in
the hands of the assembly, and can be
chosen and deposed at the will of the
ma jority. Along with Mr.. Sovereign.
there were three other officers retired
because of this special election, viz:

THE PEOPLE WARNED.
The Slush Fund Will be Greater than
Ever.

Ane SIusn FumO VIII De Greater than
Ever.
Discussing the campaign next year,
a prominent Populist said:
81 do not believe the railroads will
contribute to the campaign fund of any
political party next year. The ten
dency among the Kansas lines towards
hauling more passengers and freight
and fewer politicians, unless tLey pay
their fare, has already been manifest
ed this year. The Republicans may
make demands upon the railroads for
heavy contributions, as they have al
ways done in the past, but I believe
they will meet the kind of a response
which the Missouri Pacific gave them
two years ago The Missouri Pacific's
taxes were raised the amount of the
campaign fund demanded, but the
company paid it to the state and not
to the slush fund.
''The indications point to concerted
action on the part of the railroads and
a unanimous refusal to aid in the cam
paign. If the railroads go out of poll
tics, the Republicans will lose one if
not indeed the most important of their
allies. Perhaps the fact that some of
the money paid by railroads in the past
to campaign committees, was not ap-
piled to its intended purpose, has some
thing to do with the proposed refusal
of the companies to contribute next
year. OF course we cannot reach the
bottom of this matter, but it is, never.
the less, true that campaign funds are
never accounted for in an open man
ner. Should the railroads now stand
aloof, it will restore them to the con.
fidence and good will of the people.
"Of course" continued the speaker,
"the Insurance companies of the Unit
ed States will put up any amount OF
money the Republicans may demand,
with the hope of getting rid of Webb
McNali. No doubt $4,000 or even
500, 900 will be forthcoming with
which to corrupt voters, because the
insurance companies would even then
make money. With an insurance
commissioner who would permit them
to continue their crooked actions ir
Kansas, the companies would soon ore,
back to the good old times when the
insurance department was conductec

ROBBED AGAIN.
Blue Cut the Scene OF Another Daring
Hold Up.

Kansas City, November 1.-THE
Missouri Pacific passenger trair
known as the ST. Louis fast mail which
leaves Kausas City at 9 p. M, was
held up by five masked robbers at 9:3(
O'Clock tonight at the Chicago & Alton
crossing, just east of Independence
Mo-, and less than a mile from the ia.
nous Blue Cut, in which three train
robberies have occurred within the
past year.
Two of the robbers were disguised
as women, and when the engineer saw
them swinging lantern across the
tracks, an apparent signal of danger,
he did not hesitate to stop. The en-
gine crew were Immediately covered
with revo1vers. Conductor Dennis
O'Brien and Brakeman McMichael
stepped out to see what was the mat
ter and were greeted by a vol1ey of
bullets which at once caused the great
est confusion in the passenger coaches.
The conductor and the brakeman were
compelled to cut the express and bag
gage cars from the rest of the train
and the engineer and fireman were
made to get down from their cab. The
robbers quickly jumped aboard and
took the engine and express car about
two miles further east, where they
stopped and compelled express Mess
enger Williams to open his car. He
offered no resistance, as he carried no
treasure. The robbers had evidently
intended to stop the st. Louis limited
night express, which leaves Kansas
City at late hour, and were greatly
surprised upon discovering that the
cars which they had captured con-
tanned nothing of value. In their rage
they pounced upon the express mess
enger and went through his pocket
but s.. IS was all they secured. After
this they quickly left the train and dis
appeared in the darkness.
