What Will the Result Be?

There are 100000 policyholders in
the Equitable Life Assurance society,
with 100000 ultimate beneficiaries.
The invested savings aggregate $780,
100000. That s400,O00,000 is being
used to supply the gamblers on the
stock market with funds. It is first
handed over to trust company
(which is composed of the officers of
life insurance company, and by them
lent to the gamblers. This fund con-
stantly increases, and if the people
continue to deposit with such COM
panies their, savings as heretofore,
there is going to be produced con-
dition of affairs in these United States
such as the world never before knew.
Will the whole population lapse into
an inane idleness and let the life in
surance companies do all their invest
ing for them? Will it end in a sort
of socialism where the insurance COM
panies will take the place of pater-
nal government and provide for all
the wants without any exertion on the
part of the people?
The investment of millions by trust
companies created out Of the director
ate of the life insurance companies,
will, if the thing goes on, soon be bill
lions instead of millions. That is sit
uation that economists have so far not
taken into consideration. What will
the result be?

Roosevelt a Sham

Unprejudiced observers are gradu-

this administration is nothing but de-
ception. Its moves against railroads
and trusts are shams. The obtaining
of an injunction year or so ago
against the beef trust was ridiculous
farce, and was SO understood by the
guilty parties, for the very next day
after the Injunction was obtained, the
trust, in most notorious way, raised
(the price of meat and lowered the

RooseveIt's World Policies

AS far as anyone can make out,
Roosevelts policies are to build a
navy the equal of that of Great Britain
and all of the Central and South
American nations. for the purpose OF
defending the Monroe doctrine, the
Philippines, Hawaii, Samoa, and Por-
to Rico, Panama strip and everything
else we please to take, and to set up
in Washington the statues of Freder-
lex the Great, Napoleon, Alexander,
Caesar, Hannibal and Ghengis Kahn,
to instil into the young men of the
country the love of fighting and the
determination to defend the Monroe
doctrine until that doctrine shall grow
to such proportions that it will be con-
sidered ian unfriendly act" for any
nation to deny the right of Roosevelt
to capture land and make subjects OF
people anywhere while the Monroe
doctrine prevents every other nation
from doing anything Of that sort. AT
present Roosevelt is out on bear
hunt, just to show these foreign ma
lions how terrible he can be when any,
body expresses even a doubt about the
Monroe doctrine.

Investigating"

Investigating is going on by the
wholesale. Garfield. an old Standard
Oil man, is investigating that trust
down in Kansas, with all enthusiasm
that he investigated the beef trust be-
fore he sent in that report declaring
that it was philanthropic institution,
killing cattle for SO cents head and
making only two per cent on it's cap
ital. A grand jury in Chicago is also
Investigating the beef trust. A COM
mittee of the New York legislature is
investigating Rockefeller's gas COM
panies in New York city. There is a
special committee Investigating Equit-
able Life Insurance company, and
about half a dozen states have de-
clared that they we're going to investi-
gate it also. Elkins' railroad commit

cation" is the cure, there ought not to

on the public lands which the cattle
syndicates put up years ago in direct
violation of law. Last week he hunted
for four days in pasture on these
fenced In lands. There has never been
anything more brazen than such action
as that by the president.
The president has been trust bust
ing for nearly four years, and where
are the trusts? More oppressive and
domineering than when he started out
as trust buster"
His appointees are all known as re-
liable railroad men and trust benefici-
aries. There is Morton in the cabinet
IA democrat Monday morning, re-
publican and member of the cabinet
Saturday night. There was the rail-
road senator, Quarles. The president
gave him life appointment as fed
eral Judge where he could do most i'm
portant work in the interest of rail-
roads and other corporations. The
president gives his favor to Congress
man Babcock, and more disreputable
railroad politician can not be found in
the whole United States.
He appointed Garfield, and Garfield
has been a Standard Oil man for years.
The ~fact is that the whole power of
the administration, aside from mere
talk, has been thrown to build up and
strengthen the railroads and the
trusts. His appeal to the courts is
along the same line All the witnesses
that have SO far been called before
the grand jury investigating the beef
trust, have been it's employees and
have for years been robbed by that
concern and who know every trick Of
the trade has been asked to testify.
That is also the case with the inves-
tigation of rebates on the railroads.
The following is the list of witnesses
subpoenaed to give evidence before
the committee: w. K. Vanderbilt of
the New York Central; George Gould
of the Gould system; e. H. Hartman
of the Union Pacific; J. J. Hill of the
Great Northern; A. J. Cassatt of the
Pennsylvania; E. D. Kenna, vice presi-
dent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
of the Louisville & Nashville; Hugh L.
Bond, general counsel of the Baltimore
& Ohio Winslow Pierce, general coun-
sci Of the Gould system; President
Hughitt Of the Chicago & Northwest

Wilcox Of the Delaware & Hudson;
President Truesdaye of the Delaware,

Spencer of the Southern; President
Meilen OF the New York, New Haven
& Hartford and President Fish Of the
Illinois Central. President Stickney
of the Great Western, it will be no
ticed, is not among the number.
The result of all this will be that
when congress meets, there will be a
stack of official reports proving beyond
contradiction that the trusts are benev-
client institutions and that any interior
ence with them would be defying provi-
dence, disturbing the order of nature
and repudiating the doctrine of evolu-
ton.

Mrs o'NeiI Of 500 East Twenty-third

daughter who ran away from home
some time last night.
Little Vivian had gone to bed at

little girl wore a red dress and red hat

Special TO The Herald.
WASHINGTON Feb 24.-Despite de-
malls II can be stated that the first
direct move toward peace in the far
eastern war has been made by one OF
the belligerents, and that belligerent
is Japan. The Japanese overtures
while apparently informal, were ad-
dressed first to the United States and
were subsequently communicated by
Secretary Hay, at the presidents dlrec-
ton, to the Russian government.
No response has been received.
The terms suggested by Japan,
briefly stated, were as follows:
Evacuation of Manchurla by Russian
troops: return Of that province to the
control of China and its recognition as
an integral part Of the Chinese empire;
recognition by Russia Of Japan's supre-
macy in Korea; the transfer of the
Chinese eastern railway to the man.
agement of an International commits
sion; retention OF Port Arthur by
Japan.
These terms were communicated to
President Roosevelt by Kogoro Taxi
hira, Japanese minister in Washing
ton, who explained that his govern
ment was willing to treat for peace
upon their acceptance by Russia as a
basis of further negotiation.
Nothing was said by Takihira about
indemnity from Russia, and it was evil
dent that Japan was not willing to ask
her enemy to submit to that humilia-
ton. Nor did the Japanese envoy ask
Roosevelt to make these peace terms
known to Russia.
Roosevelt did not ask Takihira IL II
was desired that the peace suggestions
he had submitted be laid before the
Russian government, through the me-
dunn of the United States, but. after
conference with secretary Hay the
president decided it was only right
and proper that what the JAPANESE
minister had said should be communi-
Gated to st. Petersburg,
Accordingly Hay telegraphed to tbs
United States ambassador at the Rus
sian capital the substance of the con-
versation between the president and
the Japanese minister, and instructed
him to take an early opportunity of
outlining the Japanese attitude to the
czar's minister for foreign affairs. The
ambassador was cautioned to do this

JAPANESE CLOSING IN
Thought to Be Resusnhss Original
FIanklng Tactics


SHENKING, Manchuria, via Muk-
den, Feb. 24.-It is reported here that
the japanese are closing in on the Rus
sian east flank. AS a result of this
movement 1t is possible that there will
be either a general engagement or at
least a counter movement by the Rus
slams along some part of the line, es-
pecially If, as is thought, the Japanese
have returned to their original tactics
of making flank movements from the
mountains. The early advent of spring
now makes possible operations in ana
from the mountainous districts.
For the past three weeks the Rus
slams have suffered no material dis
turbance, with the exception of a COM
paratively unimportant damage to the
railroad and to bridge near Kuan-
CHA pass as the result of Japanese
raids, aided. il is alleged. by Chinese
bandits.
Since the receipt of news of the move
ment of an unidentified armed force
of unknown numbers behind the Rus
sian right wing, the Russians have
taken measures for the purpose of min
imizing the opportunities for brigand-
age, in the belief that Chinese bandits
are to some extent being organized and
directed by Japanese cavalry.

CONDO, Switzerland. Feb. 24.-The
piercing of the Simplon tunnel through
the Alps was completed at 1920 o'clock
this morning. The work was COM
menced in 1898.
The meeting of the two boring par
ties,' Swiss and Italian, was signaled
throughout Switzerland by ringing of
church bells and cannon salutes. Many
unexpected obstacles were encountered,
the most serious being hot springs
which threatened to wreck the whole
enterprise, and temperature which
at one time rose to 131 degrees, making
a continuance of the work impossible
until the engineers found means of
cooling the atmosphere
Now the borers have met, 1t will en-
