INSURANCE MONEY
FOR POLITICAL FUNDS.

In view of the admission made by
President Mccall of the New York Life
Insurance Company that he had or
dered a contribution of $4,000 to the
Republican campaign fund of 1904, to
be paid out Of the treasury of the COM
pany, Franklin Leonard, a beaten
Democratic candidate for Congress from
the city of New York. wants to know
what proportion Of the premium he
paid on a policy in the same company
went to accomplish his wv defeat.
The inquiry makes a striking Illus
tration of the iniquity of using insur-
ance funds for partisan political pur-
poses. The money paid in the form OF
premiums by thousands of Democrats
was used TO help defeat the very candi-
dates for whom those policy holders
voted.
IL makes no difference which party or
set of candidates deserved support.
Nothing can justify or excuse the use
of insurance funds for political pur-
poses.-Sacramento Bee.

A Thina of Beauty.

A thing of beauty Is a JOY forever;
Its loveliness increases: 1t will never
Pass into n~othingness. but still will keep
A bower quiet for us and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams and health and
quiet breathing;
Therefore on every morrow we are
wreathing
A nowery band to bind us to the earth
Spite Of dependence, of the inhuman
dearth
OF noble natures. of the gloomy days.
OF all the unhealthy and o~'erdarkened
ways
Made for our searching-yes. in spite OF
all,
Some shape Of beauty moves away the
From our dark spirits. Such the sun. the
moon.
Trees old and young. s%prouting a shady
boon
For simple sheep, and such are daffodils.
With the green world they live in, and
clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert
make
'GaInst the hot season. the midforest
brake
Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk rose
blooms,
And such. too. is the grandeur of the
dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead.
All lovely tales that we have heard or
read.
An endless fountain of immortal drink
Pouring unto us from heaven's brink.
John Keats.

Slipping Away.

They are slipping away. the sweet. swift
years.
Like a leaf on the current cast.
With never a break In their rapid flow.
We watch them as one by one they go
Into the beautiful past.
AS silent and swift as a weaver's thread,
Or an arrows flying CLEAN.
AS soft as the languorous breezes hid
That lift the willows long golden lid
And ripple the CLASSY stream;
AS light as the breath of the thistle down,
AS fond as a lovers dream.
As pure as the flush in the sea shells
throat,
As sweet as the wood birds wooing note.
So tender and sweet they seem.
One after another we see them pass
Down the dimly lighted stair.
We hear the sound of their steady tread
In the steps of the centuries long dead.
AS beautiful and as fair.
There's only a few years left to love.
Shall we waste them in idle strife?
Shall we trample under our ruthless feet
These beautiful blossoms. rare and sweet.
By the dusty way of life?
There's only a few swift years-ah. let
No envious taunts be heard.
Make life's fair pattern Of rare design
And fill up the measure with loves sweet
wine.
But never an angry word.

INSURANCE COMPANIES AND
OTHER CORPORATIONS

The Pueblo Chieftaiu of Pueblo, Col.
devotes its leading editorial in Sundays
issue to the Legislative investigation OF
the New York insurance companies,
which each day brings forth a fresh rev.
elation of wastefuluess. extravaganza
and misrepresentation. The Chieftain
says in part:
These misdeeds of the insurance com
pauies are of a particularly heinous
character because the treasures OF these
companies are filed with the savings OF
the people. 1t is the trust funds that
bsiong TO the widows. the orphans and
the s~uperanuuated workers OF the
unit that nave b. en- wasted and mis-
used.
But in reality, how much worse are
the insurance companies than the other
great corporations of the United States!
What are other corporations doing
with the powers that have been granted
to them by the people for the peoples
benefit?
What are they doing with the money
that they are permitted 10 accumulate
in order that the peoples interests may
be served?
How about the lobbyists that throng
the corridors of the United States Sem
ate, aud even trust themselves into the
membership of that august body.
blocking legislation that is ~imperatveiy
demanded by the people, and securing
special privileges and financial favors
for the corporations of which they are
the salaried officials or paid attorneys!
How about the railroad lobby that is
to be found in every STATE Capitol, and
that brazenly distributes its threats and
it's favors whenever its interests are
concerned in pending legislation?
How a out tue public utility corpora
tons that assume 10 dictate the course
of municipal affa RS aud that commonly
prefer 10 buy fayors from corrupt Of
ficials rather than to pay TO the people a
fair compensation for what belongs 10
the people?
Let us not spare our censure for the
insurance officials that have been faith
less to their high trust $50 But let
us also remember that this revelation OF
dishonesty and e~xtravagance IN insur-
ance affairs is a symptom of a National
evil that is not confined within the lin
lis of a single business class.
And let us hope that the public de-
mand for better methods in insurance
management may be preliminary to a
public upheaval that will drive all cor
poratlon lobbyists u of all Legislative
Halls and that viii restore all govern
mental affairs to the hands of the peo-
ple.

The Open Fireplace.

Some like apartments warmed by steam.
Some claim the furnace stands the test.
Some say in comfort they can dream
When rafting pipes lull them to rest.
They add. ITO sleep 1t gives a zest."
And makes them happy as can be.
But these to me are not the best
The open fireplace for me.
Before the crate ! sit and gaze.
The pictures there I'LL me with joy.
They bring back to my mind the days
When / was just a careless boy,
When foolish doubts did not annoy,
When life seemed ever gay and free.
With pipe and furnace I WON'T toy
The open fireplace for me!
When night Is here. and lights burn low,
i watch the pickering shadows play
Upon the floor. They come n go
As do ones thoughts. now grave. now
gay.
Contentment mine? Well. I should say!
LIES better than / thought 'twould be
And more delightful every day

Yes. though on most things I'm not right,
This statements true. you will agree
