Insurance.
The great insurance companies afford
striking examples of corporations
whose business has extended so far
beyond the jurisdiction of the states
which created them as to preclude
strict enforcement Of supervision and
regulation by the parent states. In my
last annual message l recommended
that the congress carefully consider
whether the power Of the bureau Of
corporations cannot constitutionally be
tons in insurance" Recent events
have emphasized the Importance of an
early and exhaustive consideration of
this question, to see whether it is not
possible to furnish better safeguards
than the several states have been able
to furnish against corruption of the
fragrant kind which has been exposed.
1t has been only too clearly shown
that certain of the men at the head of
these large corporations take but small
note Of the ethical distinction between
honesty and dishonesty. They draw
the line only this side of what may be
called law honesty, the kind of honesty
necessary in order to avoid falling into
the clutches of the law OF course the
only complete remedy for this condi-
ton must be found in an aroused pub
lie conscience. higher sense of ethical
conduct in the community at large and
especially among business men and in
the great profession of the law, and in
the growth of spirit which condemns
all dishonesty, whether in rich man or
in poor man, whether it takes the shape
of bribery or of blackmail. But much
can be done by legislation which is not
only drastic, but practical. There is
need Of far stricter and more uni-
form regulation of the vast insurance
interests of this country The United
States should in this respect follow the
policy of other nations by providing
adequate national supervision of com
mercial interests which are clearly ma
tional in character.
| repeat my previous recommends
ton that the congress should consider
whether the federal government has
any power or owes any duty with re-
spect to domestic transactions in in.
surance of an Interstate character
That state supervision has proved in

MOTHER FINDS
MISSING SON
SEVEN-YEAR-0LD LAD HELD
BY GRANDMOTHER
DIVORCE SUIT is PENDING
Woman's Petition Contains Startling
Charges and Makes Necessary
a Struggle for Custody
Of the Child
DIVORCE SUIT is PENDING

After several days of search for her
7-year-old son Raymond, Mrs. Ina
Plotts of West Twenty fifth street, who
recently filed suit in the superior court
for divorce from II. T.. Plotts on the
ground of intemperance and cruelty,
yesterday found the lad at the home OF
her husbands mother In Ocean Park.
A lively controversy took place before
the boy was given over to the charge
of his mother. The suit for divorce was
filed last Saturday, Attorney r. Har-
desty acting for the plaintiff. Several
days previous to the filing of the suit
Raymond disappeared from his home
and his mother employed a private de-
tective to find him.
The child was at last traced to the
home of Plotts' relatives, and all efforts
on the part of the officer failing Mrs.
Plotts took the matter in hand. The
custody of the child was relinquished
after stormy scene, and a petition of
restrainer was filed yesterday in the
superior court to prevent a second
taking of the little boy.
The suit for divorce will be tried soon
and the evidence promises to be in
teresting. Mrs. Plotts alleges that her
husband struck here on several occa-
sions and spent much of his time and
money drinking.

FLAT LIFE CAUSES LUNACY
Deadly Monotony for Poorer Glasses
Increases Insanity

From Modern Women.
The growth of fiat life in London,
which becomes more rapid each year,
is coming to be regarded with some
alarm by public health experts. Medi-
cal men and poor law guardians (who
come in contact with many lunacy
cases) are firmly of the opinion that
flat life is responsible for an undue
proportion of the lunacy increase.
A lady guardian in a working class
district was emphatic upon the point.
my experience as a regular visitor
to blocks of flats inhabited by arti-
sans convinces me-" she said "that
the deadly monotony OF London fiat life
is a direct cause of many of the cases
OF lunacy Of which the public only
hears in the bulk from statistics.
IT have constantly been struck by
the large number of women living In
flats who have to be removed to the
asylum.
1.-The conclusion to which have
come is that fiat life. by reason Of the
seclusion and consequent dullness
which it imposes on women, is one of
the deadliest, perils threatening the
London women of today
Except in the West End. flats rare
Is have lifts, with the result that tho
dweller on the fourth. fifth or sixth
floor has to face a vast flight OF stairs
every time she wishes to reach the
fresh air Hence she goes out as sell
dom as possible sees no one, has no
contact with the busy life around her.

state Of mind which leads to the luna

CATARRH
A UNIVERSAL DISEASE

Catarrh usually begins with cold in
the head, but does not stop there. The
mucous membranes all become inAamed
and secrete a filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts Of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and splitting, the nose is stopped up,
the ears have ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the un-
healthy matter more thoroughly satu-
rates the blood general feeling Of des-
pondency takes possession of the system.

cHIIDREN's JUDGE REFLECTED
Judge Lindsey Secures Wonderful P1u.
rality Thru Women's Votes.

Judge Ben Lindsey of the Denver
Juvenile court has been reelected by a
plurality Of more than $4,000 votes.
Miss Florence Kelley, secretary of the
National Consumers league, writes:
"This insures to the children Of Den
yer the continued care Of the man who
secured the Colorado law that any
adult contributing to the delinquency
of child is himself a delinquent, and
may be punished by fine or imprison-
ment, or both. 81 s:
eENo one has ever. brought to light
as Judge Lindsey has done the extent
to which men and women profit sor-
didly by the tempting of children Junk
dealers buy stolen goods of them,
cigarette dealers and saloonkeepers sell
wares to them, telegraph and messen-
ger companies send them to infamous
places, low theaters sell them tickets.
And in most, communities the thought
less public acqliesces when the children
are punished. Judge Lindsey places
such young offenders on probation, and
may have mad made the children easy
prey: But for the @sordid men and
women who have proited by the temp
tation of the children there are fines
or jail sentences s.~r ..-.... 81.
HHow is it that "a Judge who en-
counters such powerful political forces
las the saloonkeepers, the cigarette
trust and the telegraph companies can
be elected by such. pl,1ralities9 It is
because he has the good fortune to
live and work in. a city where women
dren is kept permanently in office by
the votes of the mothers, the teachers
and the other Intelligent. women of Den
yer.
