LESSON. OF A LIFE.
Daniel scott Lannon'S Career an Ex-
ample for Young Men.

Kansas City Journal.
The career of Daniel s. Lamont, ex-sec-
rotary OF war; contains a valuable lesson,
full of hope and promise to the young
men of the country. The story of his life
proves that a poor and friendless boy can
raise himself 70 power and sfluence in
this land OF unlimited opportunities, and
that his rise depends chiefly upon his own
force OF character rather than upon brains
or influence.
Dan Lamont, as he was called even after
he attained the dignity Of a cabinet min
lister, was a frail boy, weighing scarcely
100 pounds. He was not particularly bright
and he had no influential friends TO push
his fortunes; but he had courage and force
OF character. His character showed even
in his handwriting which was neat, bold
and clear. When he came to work his way
through college he found It hard to get
even the little jobs incidental to college
life to keep him from starving. Undaunted
by difficulties he wrote to the governor Of
the state asking for employment that
would enable him to accomplish his aims.
The governor was struck with the boys
handwriting, which he thought revealed
superior character. Young Lamonts re-
quest was granted and he was given a
modest clerkship during the session OF the
state legislature. soon dILeI ne ullaueu us
education his work brought him into con-
tact with Samuel ]. Tilden the great law
yer and political leader. Mr.. Tilden, too,
was impressed with Lamonts quiet force
OF character and, as the story go =, took
him under his protecting care, setting his
feet on that path which led 70 fortune
and distinction" Mr.. Lamont rose step
by step until he became private secretary
70 President Cleveland and afteTward sec
rotary Of war. Ills capabilities attracted
the attention OF capitalists. who employed
him IN their great enterprises, and he
became a director and trustee In many
railroad and financial corporations.
What Dan lamont accomplished Is within
the reach Of almost any boy or man
IN America. II does not require great
talents. Character IL a bundle OF habits
and habits can be formed and reformed at
will
A boy is never too young 70 begin and
a man Is never too old 20 change his
habits. Patience, energy, hdelity 70 duty,
courage and steady habits command sue
cess, and these are things that any man
can have II he chooses. Even one OF those
qualities will generally suffice II It shines
through the daily acts which make up
the sum OF life The reason why most
boys and men fail 20 achieve success is
because they do not cultivate even one dis
tinctive trait Of character.

MONEY AND HONESTY.
Salary Not n Measure of TrustvOrthi-
ness in Men.
Chfcapo Tribune

Can man who will be above suspicion
be induced to put the finishing touches to
government crop reports for $500 year?
The secretary of agriculture does not
think spotless man whom calumny never
will dare to assail can be had for less
than 5000 a year. He will ask congress
to give that much money-the salary Of
a congressman-to the chief statistician, and
thus secure unimpeachable integrity
The public has learned that money can
be made by manipulating crop reports or
selling advance information concerning
them. 1t is said the person chiefly impli-
Gated in the cotton report scandal made
small fortune through his dishonest prac-
tees. Perhaps he would have been Just
as dishonest If he had been getting 5000
a year. Frequently 1t becomes apparent
that large salary is not a guaranty of
integrity-that a man who gets $4,000 a
year may be guilty Of discreditable con-
duct, and that persons who were sup
posed to, be above suspicion are really be-
meath contempt Money cannot be de-
pended on to buy honesty. A difference of
$500 year In, salary will not make
naturally crooked man straight.
In spite OF all that is said about the
prevalence OF corruption in public and bust
ness life, the country abounds in men who
will stay honest on $500 a year. 1t ought
to be possible to find among them one who
is competent with a little instruction, TO
serve as chief statistician in the Agrioul-
tural department. The position does not
call for ability Of an extraordinarily high
order. 1t is a mere matter of skill in cal
culating percentages.
The secretary of agriculture is feeling
blue over the leakage in his department
and thinks the way 20 stop the leaks is
for congress to appropriate little more
money. But II he will make the trial he
can md a $500 man who will be suspicion
proof, because he, being naturally honest
Will do nothing to create suspicion.

LOSING POPULATION

There has been a considerable exodus
last few years and some of the states
have felt 1t to an extent that causes some
little complaint. 1t is found that I'm a
few of the states there has been a loss
of population, that the immigration to
those states has not counterbalanced the
outgo, and that consequently there are
farms which are vacant and the land un-
titled. This is reported to'be the case in
southern Minnesota and perhaps it is
also true of other portions of the north
west.
How long the movement from the
states OF the northwest into Canada will
continue 1t is impossible to say with any
degree Of certainty. 1t has been going
on with increasing volume for several
years and may be expected to continue
as long as cheap lands are to be had in
northwestern Canada and the Dominion
offers inducements to people from the
United States to take up lands there.
But it would seem that people in this
country must soon be convinced that
however cheaply they can buy land in
the Canadian northwest the fact that
they will encounter a most inhospitable
climate there, with uncertainty as to
crops and difficulty in getting what they
do grow to market, they will derive no
real benefit or advantage from going to
the Dominion. II lands In the American
northwest were extravagantly high and
all opportunities for successful farming
in this section were gone there would be
some reason for seeking lands In Canada.
but as there is still land to be had in this
country at a reasonable price and the IA
cilities for marketing products are the
best in the world, with an unfailing de-
mand, an exodus Of Americans to Can
ada is inexplicable upon any reasonable
grounds.

kEYNorE or INSURANCE REFoRM


The Iroquois club Of Chicago has
taken the initial step for a national
movement looking toward the inyestiga-
ton Of the affairs Of every life insur-
ance company in the country and the
national regulation Of life insurance.
This is a step in the right direc-
ton. Millions Of American policy hold
ers view with alarm and concern the
disclosures recently made in connection
with the management Of the Equitable
in New York and they naturally enter
tain fears that some irregularities and
risks have been permitted the manage
ment Of other life insurance companies.
The only way to restore confidence
among policy holders and people who
are either inclined or compelled to pro-
tect their families or their estates by life
insurance is by thorough investigation
Of the affairs of every life insurance
company and subject these companies to
such regulations and such supervision
as will safeguard the trust they have as
sumed for the policy holders and their
families
Honestly managed life insurance com
panies will profit by investigation and
supervision and dishonesty managed
companies and buncO companies that
have no stability should be exposed and
driven out of the business. There is GER
tainly nothing that affects the present
and future generation of American peo-
pie so vitality as does the judicious and
safe investment of life insurance funds
and the capable and economic manage
ment of the affairs of life insurance COM
panies, which are charged with the most
sacred Of trusts and whose affairs should
at all times be like an open book.
This does not apply simply to the
standard life insurance companies, but
should include also the fraternal insur-
ance companies, that are patronized
chiefly by the wage-working class, who
IL anything, are entitled to more scrupu-
lous protection at the hands of the gov
eminent than the associations Of policy
holders made up of the mercantile class.

nRAFr IN mLLwAuKEE.

The city Of Milwaukee is attracting
far more attention 10y reason Of the dis
closures OF graft and boodling among
her officials than by anything in an in
dustrial and commercial way that was
ever done by that enterprising city.
While in more than half the states OF
the union there have been disclosures
and investigations I'm regard TO the ras-
cality Of public officials, nowhere have
these inquiries been productive Of more
remarkable results than in the Cream
City OF the West The work Of investi-
CATION by the legal authorities has been
going on there for several months and 1t
has been prosecuted with a diligence
which has not been surpassed in the an
nails of such inquisition. From its III
ception there has been shown a most
vigorous and uncompromising deter
mination to bring to the bar Of justice
every public official as TO whom there
was a reasonable suspicion Of having
violated the trust reposed in him.
The result of this honest pursuit of
persons believed to be rogues has been
most remarkable. 1t has not only
amazed the people of Milwaukee, but
has astonished the whole country. over
JOG persons have been indicted, against
whom 251 true bills were found up TO
four days ago and the grand jury has
not yet completed It's work. This is
most extraordinary record and it en-
braces variety Of crimes, such as per
jury. boodllng and graft, any one Of
which is criminal under the laws Of Wis
cousin and will consign those found
guilty to the penitentiary. 1t is alleged
that Milwaukee's story Of graft differs
from other stories because rottenness
prevails in nearly every governmental
department-city, county and state.
That seems to be Enthusiastically the case
and the wonder is that the disclosure OF
the conditions has been so long delayed.
The evidence appears to be that this
state of affairs has been going on for
years. What has been the matter with
the people of the chief city of Wisconsin
different to the misconduct of their pub
lie servants7 How is it that they did not
long ago wake up to realization Of the
wrong that was being done and take
steps to remedy It? The simple explana-
ton is that as a rule the people are not
sufficiently careful to learn what is going
on In public affairs. Having confidence
in the integrity of those whom they en-
trust with. the administration Of public
matters they rarely take the trouble to
ask whether or not the officials are faith
fully or honestly performing their duties.
This is a practically universal popular
fault II exists to a greater or less ex-
tent in every considerable community.
The lesson furnished by Milwaukee
should have a salutary effect every
where.

JudiciOus Course OF Newspapers.

The Brookheld Argus points out that con-
tnued runs on the Topeka banks and a
general financial panic in Topeka and

ION Of the Devlln failure, by the judicious
course Of the newspapers published in both
towns. In reality II was known by the

Inns failure that he was I'm straitened cir
cumstances, but premature publication
OF the story. without all the details, would
have been disastrous to the businesses in
terests Of both cities, and it was wisely
withheld until such time as its publication
would work the least possible harm. In
this respect the newspapers were serving
the communities In which they were pub
lished. The popular impression that every
newspaper is constantly Itching to publish
everything il gets its hands on is an
erroneous one. There is not a well regu-
lated newspaper in the land which does
not constantly give great attention to the
probable effect of what 1t publishes, and
for this they deserve much more credit
than they receive,

1t is not generally known that Califor-
mia produces more oil than any other
state in the union, but such is the fact.
According to official government reports
that state produced last year more pc
troleum than Ohio or Pennsylvania or
Indiana or West Virginia or Texas, the
statistics showing that California pro-
duced more Oil than any two OF the other
states, her total amounting TO nearly 3d.
100000 barrels of petroleum. This is
remarkable exhibit and 1t is stated that
California is not producing more than
one-fourth Of It's capacity in oil. The
value OF the crude petroleum production
OF that state last year is estimated to
have amounted 10 over 100000, or
about One-fourteenth the value Of all the
crude petroleum produced IN the United
States in 1904.
In amount. however, the California
output was about one-fourth that Of the
rest OF the country and the explanation
of the fact that its value was only one
fourteenth is In the circumstance that
the California producers get so much less
for their oil than Is paid elsewhere A
San Francisco paper remarks that the
squeezing process in California is made
evident by the geological surveys figures
for three years. which, necessarily, relate
TO the same sorts OF oil, there having
been developed no new field in the past
three years. In that period California
oil has fallen cents in price, of course
| due to the operations OF the trust which
