The Prudential In 1903.

During last year The Prudential
wrote a larger amount Of business than
it did in any other year since it vas
founded, placing no less than 1903, 900
OCO of new insurance, and bringing the
total amount of insurance now in force
up to $931 600, 000.
The result attests it's popularity, and
such figures have not been equaled by
any other company when of the same
age as the Prudential, nor by The Pru-
DENTAL itself in any former years.
The causes which have brought
about such exceptional success appar-
emily are greater appreciation of life
insurance by the masses aud the excel
lent business methods of The Pruden-

Ducks and brakes.

A ~schoolboy in Jewell City, Mo-, was
assigned to prepare an essay on the
subject Of "Ducks," and this is what
he wrote: "The duck Is a low, heavy
set bird, composed mostly of meat and
feathers. He is n mighty poor singer,
having a .hoarse voice caused by get
ting so many frogs in his neck. He
likes the water and carries n toy bal
loon in his stomach to keep him from
sinking. The duck has only two legs,
and they are set so far back on his
running gears by nature that she came
purity near missing his body. Some
ducks when they get big have curls
on their tails and are called brakes.
brakes don't have to set or hatch, but
just loaf, go swimming and eat. If
wa to be d duck, I'd rather be a drake
every time"

BENNETT,s FIGURES.

While the figures complied by United States Marshal
Bennett Indicate that crime is the increase in the In
dian Territory if considered from the standpoint OF the
total number of arrests and convictions, yet careful
and analytical examination of the figures will warrant
much brighter conclusions regarding the Territory and
its people.
There arrests and convictions than formerly
in this district but it is reasonable that such should be
the in the aggregate If the figures are considered
not only the aggregate but in connection with the
heavy increase population it will be readily observed
that crime the population per hundred thousand
inhabitants) is on the decrease. Another interesting
feature indicated by the report that arrests now being
made are serious oenses than formerly and that
there has been marked decrease in the number COM
mtted to jail the charge of murder and on the charge
Of assault KILL and that the great increase appears in
the crimes of larceny and the introduction Of liquor in
to the Territory All this indicates that life in the Ter
rtory is safer and is held in higher esteem than for
merly that better and hgaer civilization finding its
way into the community that law is better enforced and
that the individual is not taking the law into his own
hands in the settlement of real fanced grievances

The campaign for control of the government OF the
United States by the great political parties may now
be said to be on In respects it is unique and en-
tirey different from other campaigns The line up the
paramount issue upon which the struggle to be carried
to conclusions is different from all its predecessors
There is now no difference the money question: both
parties agreeing to gold standard
The tariff question still an ISSUE the Democrats
declaring against all tariff for protection
The dominant issue is business against politics Mr.
Roosevelt has ignored the commercial interests Of the
country and placed himself in the hands of the office
holders and political hucksters of the nation
The Democrats have taken up the fight for the en-
dangered business of the country and the cam
pagn opens with an array Of strength on both sides that
portend no moderate struggle If the business concern
of the people of the United States is once fully aroused
there is no political party that stand before it, The
issue more directly concerns the rank and file than any
that could possibly be made.

R. L. Fulton, of Reno, read an
interesting paper before the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress, at FL
Paso, Texas, upon THE Advant-
ages of Nevada for the Small
Farmer" which was in part as fol-
lows:
mo other State in the Union
has been so misunderstood or SO
misrepresented as has Nevada.
She took up the burden of State
hood unwillingly at the earnest
solicitation of Abraham Lincoln,
who found his influence weak
with the Senate during the last
days of the civil war; and for a
generation she was supposed to be
little more than an ash heap with
a few streaks of silver through it.
Later on the word went out that
her mines were exhausted, and
many intelligent people were led
to paraphrase the scriptures and
ask: Can any good come out of
Nevada?'
However, no thoughtful citizen
of the Republic looks with indif-
ference upon anything that may
affect the fortunes of my State.
Our country is bound together so
strongly, and its higher interests
are so closely interviewer that
none can suffer decay without
sooner or later affecting all the
others. The different sections of
the Union SO happily complement
each other in their natural re-
sources that the greater activity in
