THE VALUE OF FRlvoLrTY.

London World-Which is worse-to
be too serious or too frivolous?
have no doubt about the matter my
self, so far as individuals are con.
cernei though all extremists are
bores. The perpetually lively, feather
Drained, pleasure-crazed creature is
almost, II not quite, as irritating ID
the deadly serious individual. Both
types are heavily represented just now
in hotels; but, apropos of the ac-
cusation recently lodged against US
that as a nation we are becoming too
FRIVOLOUS. one cannot help saying that
we are a great deal liyelier than we
were few years ago, and for this re-
lief assuredly we have cause to be
thankful.
In consequence we are accused Of
having become too frivolous. 1t seems
to me that we have just got matters
nicely balanced This Is an age when
we are prepared to be cranks on the
slightest provocation PEOPLE crave
for missions, they wallow in philan'
thropy, they pounce with ayidity On
new religions, they will plunge into
politics or write attacks on women,
society, the degeneracy of the age, Or
anything else that gives them an OPP
portuniy of airing what they call then
views. SO surely, If desipere in loco
were not occasionally to be permitted
to us, 1t is fearful to think what we
Should become. Our frivolity is the
antidote to the mountaineering dis,
position toward crankiness. 1t really
keeps us sane.

State insurance Commissioner
Other Similar Transactions.

New York, Sept, 13.--Selling $500
600 In bonds In one day and buying
them back the next day but one, a
holiday intervening, In order to keep
within statements made In the New
York Life Insurance company's re-
port to the superintendent OF insirr
ance, was the sensational disclosure
made yesterday at the session OF tho
legislative insurance investigating
committee. The fact was drawn
from Edmund ID. Randolph. treasurer
of the New York Life Insurance com.
pany, after Attorney Hughes, Of coun.
sci to the committee had laborcd for
over an hour to get direct answer
from Randolph to n direct question.
'fhe inquiry had dragged through n
mass OF figures during almost the en-.
tire day, but 1t was not nntil near
the hour for ending the session that
the sensational feature was brought
out. Earlier In the day Randolph
had handed Hughes schedule OF syn,
dictate undcrwritings ANA transactions
that had been closed out without a
loss, Among these syndicate trans,
Gctions was the underwriting OF tho
international Mercantile Marine.
Hughes drew from the witness that
there was an aggregate OF $4,00O,000
New York Life money paid to j, l..
Morgan & Co on this Joint account.
Hughes then took up II sales item
dated December 81, 1903, Of 100000
IN International Mercantile stock. Re.
plying to Hughes, the witness saiG
that tho sale was made TO j. +. Nor
gan Il Co Mr. Hughes continued his
inquiry into tho matter ana after long
ana persistent questioning brought ouL
the admission from Randolph that the
sole purpose of the transaction was
that the company might be able TO
toll tho superintendent that 1t had
only $3,200,000 international Mercan
tile Marine shares.
Following this Hughes referred to
an item on the schedule of syndicate
transactions under date of December
30. 1904, by which 100000 bonds were
sold to j. r. Morgan n Co., London.
for 100000, Randolph admitted that
this was an outright sale, and u loss
Of $4,000 was charged off to the
profits and loss account. Various
othe T. tranactlons were taken up
and tho committee adjourned untll
today when Randolphs examination
Will be resumed.

The grand jury sat again on We'd
nesday and another batch of indict-
ments is expected soon. For ten days
the public interest has been alverted
from the immediate work of TIE jury
y the settlement of G. f. Pfster's
case against the Rendering company
he is charged with stealing from, by
the payment of some 5000 of notes
he held against it, and by the
libel suit for $250,000 Mr.. Pfster has
begun against the Free Press and it's
officers, and the 100000 suit against
the district attorney and others. II
is evident that thereIl be something
doing" all the time now. Mr.. Pfister's
friends all say the indictment is an
outrage and that the whole thing is in
spired by political malice, and, on the
other hand the friends Of the district
attorney say the whole play of Mr..
Pfster is to befuddle the public mind
with a multitude of side issues in
tended solely to defeat the ends or
justice. AS before remarked in this
correspondence, it is very plain that
the district attorney will have to
make good" on the Pfister indictment
or he will be convicted by public
opinion of all the Interior purposes
and political venom attributed to him.
The trail is getting hot and it will not
be long before Milwaukee will be
divided into two hostile, bitter camps,
which will be antagonistic in botn
social and business relations Leav-
ing out of account all the merits or de-
merits of the cases Immediately at
issue at present, the trouble all has its
origin away back beyond the present
generation, in the days when horace
Rublee started out Hoard to break
down the Sawyer machine. steadily
from that day to this the lines of de.
narration have been widening be-
tween the Marshall & Ilsley bank and
its Coterie, and the First National
bank and its coterie. Today James
X Ilsley is the head OF the committee
of ten which is supposed to have
secured some of the initial evidence
for the first grand jury and to be
helping the present one, and Mr..
Plster, chief owner of the First
National bank has been indicted, The
war is on and before it is over every
man of any standing in Milwaukee is
likely to be forced to take sides, anu
the final results are hard to foretell.
1t may be very expensive business
for all concerned. for whatever may
be the inside of present conditions,
whether Justice or injustice reigns
there, the origin of the whole busl'
ness is in a factional political feud
that opened with Hoard and produced
Gov l.aFollette. This can be recog-
nized by those who know the history,
whether their sympathies run in one
direction or the other.
