The Lower Rates.

'In the face of this tremendous margin
of profit on the actual receipts, and be-
cause of the general process of equaliza-
ton of rates now going on everywhere, and
which is believed to lie at the foundation
of success in our business, there should
have been little objection to the reduction
just adopted by our association. These
lower rates are now operative; and those
property owners who wish to pay 40 per
cent more for their insurance to certain
local companies surely have that privilege
and we have no quarrel with them We
propose, however, to give our customers
the benefit of the reduction.
so far as the mercantile hazards are
concerned, we shall be most happy to see
these local companies do that which thev
should have done years ago-carry their
due proportion of the stocks of mercban-
disc, planning mills. theaters, abattoirs and
other special hazards They will not need
to carry these lines for very long time
before they will have a little experience
and be anxious and willing to obtain and
require needed rates

Captain Emmett Newton of Springfield
who was at Democratic State headquarters

Greene County il the fourth largest coun-

terday how many voters were registered
and how the resul; would affect the Demo-
cratic party, he closed one eye and smiled
smile That tfckled the back Of his neck
but he said nothing. Words were unneces-
sary. as those who know Newton under

means IN reference to the subject under DIS

shrewdness Of Thomas Delaney the county
