Warns Against Insurance Companies

Jefferson City, Mo-: State Superin-
tendent of Insurance Yates is sending
out list of insurance companies do
ing or attempting to do business in
Missouri which have neither license
nor authority to transact business in
the state. Persons acting as agents
for these companies are subject to i'm
prisonment and fine. Mr.. Yates says
in the notice which accompanies the
list: THE department is making Wig
orous efforts to have all such persons
arrested and prosecuted. 1t is a safe
conclusion that any organization or
association which will knowingly and
persistently violate the laws of the
state will also repudiate its own con
tracts with citizens of the state, and
l therefore warn the public against
having any business transactions what
ever with any of these companies or
their agents"

Republican Harmony in New York.

Republican Harmony In New York.
President Roosevelt is certainly hay
ing hard luck in harmonizing the war
ring Republican factions in his own
state. He wanted Root nominated for
governor, but Odell said NO" Then
he wanted the state nominations left
to the convention, but again Odell
said mo, have a candidate for gov
ernor which will disclose when the
time comes" President Roosevelt
therefore announced that he was not
interfering in New York politics. But
the stream of Republican leaders that
arc invited to Oyster Bay bellies his
lack of interference. The latest invi.
tation issued from Oyster Bay was to
Littaner Of the glove scandal fame,
who, the President declared, was his

dent, in his effort to control the New
York situation, have to consort with
such a tough lot of politicians as the
Republicans of the Empire State have
for leaders.
