New York, February 6.-Henry Fink, president of the North and West railroad, was asked today If the recent heavy sales of the stock of that road meant that the property of that road was about to change hands.

"I have noticed that very large number of North and West shares have been sold bue whether the buying has been purely speculative CT to obtain control only fu- ture developments can determine.

ten years show that the difference between
the price of the raw material and the
GRADUATED has been fraction of a cent
usually about Il cent-less when the So
called trust has had competition. The
margin cannot be made very wide for the
reason that the tariff keeping out foreign
refined sugars is but a fraction Of cent.
The competition now is by two or three in
dependent refining concerns, which simply
follow the big trust in regard to prices.
The big trust, the American Refining Com
pany. puts down prices in the expectation
of crippling the newcomers. Consequently
the competition in sugar refining is in the
interest of the consumer. 1t may be
doubled, however, If the reductions are
sufficient to affect the price to the con-
sumner. since the one-eighths and one-six-
teenths of a cent which refiners cut prices
cannot count for much when prices are in
cents or even half-cents.

Under this title Ursula N. Gestefeld dis
cusses the theories of immortality and re-
incarnation in a spirit of sincere search
after truth and I'm a manner calculated to
make thoughtful readers more thoughtful
than ever concerning the mysteries of the
here and the hereafter The book is an at
tempt to answer the great question, What
is man. and what his destiny?' Ask your
self What do l understand by immortal
typ" Ask your friends, any one whom
you meet, for their idea on this subject
and see how vague IL is when they seek TO
put it into definite statement. 1t is some
thing we believe awaits us. but in what IL
consists no two persons think alike. To
wear golden crowns and white robes and
play on harps forever would be no ade-
quate substitute for the present life, with
all its pains and sorrows. Were this the
alternative one would prefer not TO live
forever This childish idea of Immortality
once prevalent among a large class of SUI
perfcial and unthinking Christians. Is fast
being abandoned. Something more positive,
practical and definite is needed, and the
thought of the age is reaching out after IT,

ton of the subject no one can tell. but II

in or what interferes with his special
scheme as trust. but that epithet will not
help the man or the men who assail pub
lie man with the charge of favoritism I'M
til he gives the evidence to sustain it. The
purpose of the article is to make IL appear
that Auditor Hart is discriminating against
Indiana insurance companies and is hostile
to assessment and fraternal insurance COM
panies. 1t is not necessary TO say that this
is false. The Indiana company that COM
plies with the provisions of the law makes
no complaint. On the contrary, all of them
approve the enforcement of the law. The
naming of fraternal insurance companies
is designed to create a prejudice on the
part of those insured in them. 1t will fail
because such societies as make provision
as the law requires to pay their members
what they promise approve of the security
which the law gives. To say that home in
surance companies are throttled in order
that Eastern life insurance companies may
thrive is a falsehood fit TO be uttered only
by those who dare not put their names to
their circular. The insurance companies
doing business safe for the policy holders.
organized under the law of Indiana, COM
mend Auditor Hart. Those organizations
which cannot comply with the law of the
State by offering ample security for the
payment of what they promise, and who
promise in their literature what they cam
not do, will be prevented from defrauding
the people Of Indiana. The people Of In
6iana have lost hundreds of thousands of
dollars by graveyard insurance, but they
will lose no more so long as the present
laws are enforced. The advocacy and en-
forcement of the laws is the sole offending
of Mr. Hart
