To the Editor of the Evening Journal.
Sir. have read the article
entitled ITO Obtain Life Insurance is
Now an Easy Matter" which appeared
on the editorial page of your paper of
Saturday. November ., and II you will
kindly grant me the space | will make
reply TO certain statements contained
therein.
Firaa 1t is not my opinion nor has
1t been my experience, that almost
everybody will lie to an insurance
company" This statement seems little
less than an insult TO those who have
honestly secured an honest policy in
an honest company, of which there are
millions of the former and scores of
the latter.
Second. There are some companies
inSuring impaired lives. and. possibly
as YOU intimate, they may go so far as
to insure men with one foot in the
grave. saloon keepers. professional
gamblers, powder makers. balloOnists
hremen of locomotives. hod carriers
etc. hut it certainly should SO on rec
ord that this lis not the practice Of life
insurance companies in general, ant
should YOU desire proof of this state
ment shall be glad to furnish yol
with a list OF more than fifty oCcopa
tions which are absolutely barred bl
The Mutual Life. the largest life i'm

] Fourth. II the Prominent Official
who states that 1t isn't the sick mel

statement. he would probably answe

Justice for Can't. Clark
Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
We heartily endorse the plea made
in behalf OF the heroic Captain Clark.
OF the battleship Oregon, by the es-
teemed Commercial-Appeal Of Mem
phis. AS the Commercial-Appeal points
out. Captain Clark has not only re-
ceived no reward for his great GER
vices. among the most important rem
dcred during the Spanish war but is
actually lower in relative rank than
when he and Schley, almost single
handed. destroyed the Spanish armada
OF the coast Of Cuba.
To state this fact is to make it's mon
strous injustice obvious to the dullest
mind. IF ever an officer of the Ameri-
can navy deserved well of his country
Captain Clark is that man. Who has
forgotten the cool courage with which
he risked destruction from Spanish
feets-nOno the less menacing because
they were afterward found 10 be imag-
nary-steered his magnificent ship
down the edge OF the world under the
light of the Southern Cross, around
the troubled Horn. and mp again, and
came breathless. but eager and pre-
pared for action. TO Schley's side out
side OF Santiago?
And who can forget how he, with
Schley on the Brooklyn, bore the hunt
Of battle on that July day. and with
schley swept the Spanish ensign from
the wearied seas?
Shall this man go longer unrocog-
nized and unrewarded? With our
Memphis contemporary, we say, en-
phatically. MOI

PLEASE ANSWER

The Every Evening and the Sunday
Star are wailing in unison. They are
getting none OF the Sherin's print
ing. The poor old Republican adds its
feeble yelp 10 swell the chorus
Neither OF these papers is getting any
printing, and hence there is an as
sault on The Sheriff that extends to his
least official act. We are told that we
defend that official because some Of his
advertising comes our way. Well, it
Is easy to retaliate THAT their spasm of
virtue arises from the fact that they
are Ce9t ont in tine cold. This happens
TO be n Republican sheriff, and the two
FIRST named papers are OF the Demo-
cratic persuasion; THAT explains much.
The ulird sheet, while not OF their COM
rlexiCn yet has troubles OF its own
over the matter Of official printing.
II asked THE sheriff, we are informed.
for a generous slice of his official
printing. but went about il i'm a man
ner 30 insure getting kicked out or
turned down; hence its little yelp We
want to ask a few questions which ap-
pear TO us pertinent at the present
time; Has the lordly Every Evening,
the blazing Star, the moss grown re
publican ever printed a sheriffs sale
advertisement? If 50. did either of
these papers ever feel the necessity
OF It's abridgement? While THEY were
running such sales did they protest
against their length? Did they charge
their lowest possible rate, or all they
could got? Did they ever make a re-
bate TO anyone? II so, how much,
and TO whom?
Has either OF these papers ever com
pared one of these advertisements with
The original writ, to ascertain. whether
It has been abbreviated? Does It not
know as a matter or fact, that most OF
these advertisements are reduced be-
yond the language of the original writ
at least one-third? Is it not aware That
the rate charged by the newspapers is
the same that the Every Evening
charges for It's advertisements Of the
same general nature?
We are dying to have these
questions answered We do moi
expect the Every Evening to reply foi
1T is so engrossed in standardization
that it spends most OF its time before
its mirror. and desists only long enough
to notice an equal-the London Times
or the New York Herald The star
comes SO seldom that we forget it's ex
istonce. and THE poor doddering ole
Republican has TO be read backward
to get its intellectual drift. Therefor'
we shall be obliged to do without al
answer, contenting ourselves with
reading columns OF editorial fro,h OF
the law as IL is expounded at Firtl
ana Shipley streets.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Mettle in a Blind Horse
rom the Boston Globe.

From THE Boston Globe.
Words of greater wisdom have sell
dom been spoken than those Of John
Morley in addressing his constituents
at ArbrOath.
He says that the character Of the
South African war has drifted into the
issue OF exterminating a people who
are lighting for their own country, and
that this policy carried out against a
people like the Beers means extermi-
nation and annihilatiOn.
Mr. Morely asks what Lord Palmer
ston would have said OF a government
justfying themselves by saying that
Russia in Poland and Austria In Bos-
mia had done something like the same.
Then. rising to the magnitude OF the
occasion. he employs a simile that is
worthy of being historic: There is
nothing worse than mettle in a blind
horse"
England is a blind horse prancing
madly among the Boer women and
children. The death rate among them
still continues to show the same hid
ecns and appalling figures, though the
policy Of devastation has been admit
ted to be mistake.
Aside from all political motives. Mr..
Morley's speech bears the impress OF
that able and acute analysis which
stands out so prominently in his liter
airy work.

Ihree Prayers

An infant in its cradle slept.
And in its sleep IL smiled,
And one by one three women kne.t
To kiss the fair haired child;
And each Thought Of The days to be,
And breathed a prayer half 81
lently.
One poured ther love on many Ives.
But knew loves toll and care;
Its burdens Oft had been to her
A heavy weight to bear
She stooped and murmured low.
ingly,
Mot burdened hands. dear child
for thee.
One had not known the burdene,
hands.
But knew The empty heart:
At lifes rich banquet SHE had sat
An unfed guest. apart,
oh. not. she whispered tenderly
AN empty heart, dear child, 70
thee"
And one was Old; she had known care
She had known loneliness;
She knew God leads us by no path
His presence cannot bless,
She smiled and murmured trirs

Gods will. dear child, Gods wi

WE PUaLIsH THE NEWS

The primary function OF a news
paper is 20 publish the news: that is
the doctrine OF the Evening Journal,
and THAT is the policy THAT we may be
expected 10 pursue. We do not believe
in publishing sensations nor fakes, but
when our reporters bring to our office
details OF pubic interest, they will ap-
pear in our columns, since that is what
our readers are entitled to expect.
Recently certain items appeared in
the Evening Journal which We're
known to a number of persons. In the
endeavor to get the exact facts GER
tain officials were asked for informa-
tion i'm their possession They assumed
a sphynx-ike attitude. and refused 10
divulge anything. This put the re-
porter to considerable trouble. but be
got the news, and subsequent events
verified IT, Now we are told by these
same officials THAT we are blocking the
reform movement by divu-ging infor-
nation too SOON This is arrant non.
sense, and is inspired by newspaper
men who have been scooped. We wish
It understood now that we will do all
in our power to further the reform
movement, but we shall not heir
guard the leaks. especially when thes,
are inspired by a friendliness on. IN.
part Of certain persons for other news.
papers.
An official, or any other person wh
expects our presses to halt during thi.
investigation, requires too much. The
reform movement promises to be great
in results, and while it Is in progres,
we propose to publish all the news w,
can get in legitimate way We pre-
sumo that certain officials will attene
10 their duties, and Il is only reasona
bic for Them TO suppose That we shal
attend to ours
There seems to be an impression
that a reporter is a sort OF defective

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET

As Reviewed by J. R. Mclean & Co.
 New York, Nov. 1.-The stock mar ket remained very strong and buoyant to- day, accompanied by heavy transac- tions, and the closing prices were near the top. It would be no more than nat ural if we were to get little reaction now any day, but do not look for any declines of importance. The steel stocks were prominent features of the days movement, both the common and the prefererd making good advances on heavy trading. Some few daysNago we pointed out these stocks as the next ones to probably become active, and it now looks as though a big move ment Is near at and in these particular issues. Peoples Gas remains about the only weak stock, but on any reaction would advise taking in shorts as the market is entirely too strong to war rant trading on the short side at pres ent in any stock. Buy Steel, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Manhattan, Union Pa cific, St. Paul, Atchison, Louisville and Nashville, Missouri Pacific, Amalga- mated Copper and even Sugar on any fractional decline.

 New York, Nov. 11.-Early London advices were somewhat irregular but their close was reported as buoyant on the curb on New York buying. Conti- mental Bourses were firm. Here the market opened fairly strong on what was generally considered an increased outside interest and a disposition to be- lieve the rumors of fresh consultations of different railway systems. At the advances realizing of profits in the high priced securities could be perceived but all offerings were well takn care of and prices were but little affected. St. Paul and Union Pacific with their kindred were the strong features in the rails with the coalers a good second For the first time in quite while the industrials showed strength throughout the list at material ad- vances in almost every instance. Taken as a whole the market is broadening although as yet the principal trading is for account of pools and profession als.
