thing as it is, and not as interested
parties represent it,
This was a case where the insur-
ance companies had entered into an
agreement or compact to fix and
maintain rates just as they are doing
in North Carolina now. In deciding
the case the court said:
"To hold that such an agreement
should meet with any favor or sane
ton in law, would make an exception
of the business of insurance to q
rule that applies TO every trade or
class of business and industry in the
world. * No good reason has
been given that will hold insurance
exceptional, and accord to it support
that is denied to every other branch
of industry. Business and law regard
insurance as a commodity in the
market to be purchased as any other
property or beneficial interest. A con-
tract that DESTROYS rivalry in business
and STILES competition in fixing rates
of insurance, is as prejudicial to the
public interest if it were combina-
ton of merchants and tradesmen to
maintain an unalterable standard for
the price of cloth or calico beef or
butter. TO condemn combination
formed to prevent competition for the
furnishing of the materials used in the
construction of q house, or in the
work of it's erection, and yet uphold
contract that will prevent competi-
ton in insuring it, is to lose sight of
substance, and pursue a shadow.
That competition is the life of trade,
is not the language of the street alone,
it is a proVerb in law. That the ten
dency of this contract is to destroy
rivalry in the business and to pre-
vent the active competition which
would otherwise exist, is too plain for
serious controversy. But it is said in
this case that the arbitrary rate so es-
tablished is on sound business prin-
ciple and is in the interest of the in
sured, in this, that it enables the in
surance companies to do a safe bust
ness, and prevents their insolvency.
That is not the principle by which
the business of this trading and com
mercial age is governed. The mer-
chants, the tailors, the grocers, or the
manufacturers do not establish an in
flexible standard of prices, and place
them low, that the paying power of
the customer may not be impaired.
The law favors trade; and it's first
aim is to promote the public interest,
and after that to preserve individual
rights: and it will not permit any one
to restrain a. person from doing what
the public welfare requires that he
should do
If the insurance combination be
legal and just, then the Standard Oil
monopoly and all the other trusts are
legal and just.

Death Of John Wood.

Yesterday at his home in the north

Of the real pioneers of Carson died, af-
ted q few days illness. His death
came as a surprise to many as he was
on the street a few days ago and in
apparently good health.
John Wood come to this city with
the first settlers, and realizing the pos
sibilities of the rich soil of Eagle
Valley started nursery, and it was
to his judgment that Carson can
boast Of her many varieties Of trees
that grace her homes and streets.
The deceased lived q miserly life for
years, and while a man of more than
ordinary intelligence. did not talsf
advantage of his enlightenment and
it was only by personal acquaintance
that his best qualities were known to
few. His mode of living was slack,
his frugality bore on the verge of
meanness, but in spite of his APPARENT
lack of the better conditions of civiIi-
zation, yet he knew more of nature,
and shubs and trees than any other
one individual in the State. Every
new tree that was brought out receiv-
ed place in his nursery. He studied
the art and often advised the citizens
of the best culture in that line. He
took keen interest in the welfare of
Carson and could point with pride 70
more patches of beauty on the desert
reclaimed by his hand than any one
man. He fulfilled his purpose in life
and the people of this city benefited
by his knowledge.
John Wood was a native Of the Isle
Of Man where he was born SO years
ago. The world benefited by his life
and he leaves few friends who regret
his death. No relatives are known in
this section of the world.
The funeral will take place from the
undertaking parlors of Geo. E. Kitz-

The Appeal tacitly admits that gam
ing is bad but that conservative jour-
nal is much concerned about the reven-
ne derived therefrom which goes to
support the schools. That argument
put in plain English reads:
Let us ruin the boys the schools
have trained to educate boys to ruin!"

lambs to shear. 1t pays the gamester

the pelican fed it's young with blood
from its own breast. After awhile
they discovered that the pelicans had
more sense.
The Appeal admits, implicitly at
least, that there are many who be-
lieve that a proper public sentiment
backing up a proper law will make
gambling disreputable, and that such
a course would save large number
of the boys educated in the schools
from being showed into a chute which
skins them clean as they slide to
ruin. There are such people, and
they are sure that only the wilfully
blind fail to see that the gaming spirit
not only affects the character of the
individual, but makes him a rotten ap-
pie in the bin
The Appeal, however, insinuates
that these people are not willing to put
up for the loss of revenue to the
