On Argument,

All is fair in love, war and argu-
ment.
Any man would die for his opinions
in the heat of argument.
The world is made UP of argumenta-
tive persons and ourselves.
Strength of conviction is directly
proportioned to weight of contradic-
ton.
There is a vast difference between
an argument we have heard and the
same argument when we have utter
ed it.
In arguing, the main thing is to keep
your head clear. Don't confuse your
self by attending to what the other
fellow says. Just say, That's begging
the question: or That's beside the
point" or THAT'S non sequitur." or
something that will apply to anything.

Il also called the Presidents atten-
ton to the belief that these corporations
came under the interstate commerce
law. as they do business in the several
States. and there is no reason why they
should not be investigated, the same as
the Beef and Standard Oil trusts.
These companies must be put on the

which a policyholder is compelled to
give proxy to an officer OF the COM
pany when he takes out his policy
