trlbutions which promise TO prove the
most important addition to the

who were dragging down the fair name
Of one Of our greltest commonwealth
and virtually inperilling free institu-
tions through shameful corruption.

At twenty, as you proudly stood
And read your thesis, Brotherhood,
If remember right, you saw
The fatuous faults Of social law.
At twenty-five you braved the storm
And dug the trenches Of Reform,
smng by some gadny In your breast
Which would not let your spirit rest.
At thirty-flve you made a pause
10 sum the columns Of The Cause;
You noted, with unwilling eye,
The needless world had passed you by,
At forty you had always known
Man owes duty to His own.
Mans life is as mans life Is made,
The game is fair, IL fairly played,
At fifty, after years Of stress
You bore the banner Of Success.
All men have virtues, all have sins.
And God Is with the man who wins.
at sixty, from your captured heights
You fly the flag of Vested Rights,
Bounded by bonds collectabe
And hopeessly respectable

Cleveland VS.. Morton

The letter of exPresdent Cleveland accepting the posi-
ton of of the Equitable, condition that he and
his associates shall have free hand in guarding the inter
est of the stock hade contains reflections that
timely.
Honesty in trusteeshp is the heritage of centuries of
law and statute. Nor is it obsolete in practice. But
Mr.. Cleveland does we'll to remind the who offer
him his trusteeship of the sacred obligations they
der in the handling of the funds of the policy holders He
regards 'the appropriation to personal of property
and interests held in trust in the light any other
kind Of stealng.'
That's the doctrine!
And, moreover he wants cold simple American
standards of honesty maintained even if the Equitable has
to slacken its pace "
Excellent.
But let us notice in this connection how the talks
who has undertaken to pilot the Equitable How does his
declaration of principles compare with MIR. Cleveands
ringing declaration Of old-fashoned honesty and his just
arrangement of the monetary Juggling of fenzied finances
Mr. Morton begins by minimizing the evils shown by
the Investigations He says they have been Exaggerated
by newspaper articles" And he will every ''to
develop the business
That is to say Mr.. Clevelands slogan sounds this OBJ
Duration:
Back to the principles of common honesty!
While Mr. Moron's gonfaon comprises his remedy:
Boom the business!
Mr. Cleveland is right If honesty conducted the Equi-
table will have business enough What is needed not only
in the Equitable but in all fuciary management is
mon every day oldfashioned honesty

The Presidents Lark

This delightful little story about the president and
his wife that has just crept into publicity.
1t seems Mr. Roosevelt had purchased cottage i'll the
Virginia wods but had not yet occupied it, On Friday of
last week he and Mrs Roosevelt who visiting friends
in the vicinity took notion to stay night in the lit
tie house They udged to the place and slept there
that night.
The president asd his wife all alone and quarter
of mile from any inhabited house
In the morning Mrs Roosevelt let the president sleep
while she got breakfast. AS it happened there no
matches about the premises So the first lady of the land
hailed passerby the road and borrowed match to
light the fire of the kitchen stove.
That much of the story has leaked out
What sort Of breakfast they had we do not know. 1t
may be imagined that the composed of breakfast
food Virginia sugar cured ham, eggs you like them and
coffee like your mother used to make.
That it good breakfast and that Theodore relish
ed it exceedingly may be taken for granted since Mrs.
Roosevelt adds to her accomplishments that of a fine
mother and good housekeeper.
Nowhere else in the world could such little lark hap

Recognition of Norway

Considerable time must eapse before of the powers
of the world likely to recognize the provisional gov
eminent of Norway

garded the elimination of domestic difficulty which
does not invite intervention
Moreover
The other nations hacve the kndes feelings for both
parties to the controversy King of Sweden while he
lacks the genius that ght have welded the two countries
together is regarded of the most ght and grac
ous of all European sovergns And Norway, whose indie
pendent spirit has led her to the point of separation has
the good wishes of all peoples.
This being the status, it is not likely there will be
very prompt recognition of Norways independence. Such
recognition at this time would be regarded unfrend
ly act toward Sweden
King Oscar has protested against the separation and
has called the diet to determine the policy to be adopted
toward Norway. Recognition at this juncure would there
fore out of place 1t better to let the two
tries work out settlement especially since there appears
to be danger of
Enthusiastic Norwegans of this country sending
petitions to the president asking him to Immediately
ognze the new government and understand the
patriotism that prompts them AT the time the pres
ident will be slow to act
