LONG AGO.

When all the dreams Of our life have
vanished,
When love is banished
And hope has fed,
We turn away from the bleak tOmOr-
row,
To walk with sorrow
Among the dead;
We look once more on the loving
faces
And sunny places
We used to know;
And lose for a time our hurt and sad
ness
Within the gladness
OF long ago.
The days are long and the days are
dreary;
Our hearts are weary
And in distress,
As through the blur Of our tear-wet
Iashes
We see the ashes
OF happiness.
From brOOding over our lives left
lonely
We seek the only
Escape we know.
BY going back to the sweet affections
And recO1ecdOns
VI Aou6 a6O-
Our dreams OF love and our golden
visions,
The fond ambitions
OF other years,
BY stern DEGREES OF the Real, broken,
Have left their token
OF unshed tears
Without remOrse are the fates that
sever
Those hopes We never
Again may know;
But although lost, they renew their
glory
Within the story
OF long ago
When love proves false and we seem
forsaken,
Our spirits shaken
With sorrow sore,
There IS one sOlaee Time cant deny
US,
Which fingers by Us
For evermore,
We dream on our lips a soft mouth |
presses
The sweet caresses
We used to know
Dur hearts yet revel amid the pleas
urS
And cherished treasures
OF long ago.

COST OF PARTIsANsHIP.

From Kansas City Star.
With the aid Of the light cast up
on the situation by the failure Of
the Delvin bank in Topeka, in
which more than One-half million
OF the state funds of Kansas were
deposited, it ought to be reasonably
clear to the Kansas people that the
election of a democratic state treas
Urer last year might not have been
the dreadful calamity which the re-
publican leaders insisted it would
be
With all that was known about
the character and record Of T 7.
Kelly, the argument was commonly
put forth by republicans Of the
highest personal respectfully: Let
US elect Kelly rather than have a
demOcratiic treasurer. Then we
can investigate him, force him to re-
sign, and appoint a republican in
his place"
Well, they elected Kelly; he was
not investigated; he is still in escrow,
and now Kansas can see what came
OF it It viii be some time before it
can be discovered how much money
Kansas loses by the failure Of the Del
vim bank. But whatever the amount
may be, there will be something in
the way Of profit to balance the loss,
if this lesson shall avail to teach the
people that state faulty and the ac-
tual dishonesty Of holding, through
thick and thin, to party lines, in the
choice Of public officials.

5oNCFRNING BANK ExAsfINERs.

CONCERNING BANK EXAMINERS.
From Kansas City Star.
Bank examiners, state and nation
al, are employed ana paid to protect
the people against bad fiscal manage
ment
When such conditions as for q long
time prevailed in the First National
bank Of Topeka and the bank OF Sal
mon & Salmon at Clinton are either
undiscovered or unrepOrted it Is OBJ
vfous that the examiners intrusted
with the inspection Of the institutions
are Incompetent or negligent
In either case such examiners
should never again be intrusted to
represent the people in this capacity
These cases are not unusual. They
are so frequent that there ought TO
be stricter laws for the accountability
Of bank examiners 1t is bad enough
when a bank official proves incOmpet-
ent or treacherOus, but inemciency OF
betrayal on the part Of an officer es-
peCiaIly commissioned to protect the
people against imposition is much
worse

portion Of which is supposed TO be
held to meet the deferred dividends
which will be due to holders Of de-
ferred dividend policies when their
policies mature
The total expense Of the business
for the year was SIS, 100000, which
was equal to more than "A per cent
Of the revenue from premiums, and
TO more than 20 per cent OF the total
revenue. The expenses consumed all
OF the revenue from the cOmpany's
vast investments and $4,000, 900 in ad-
ditiOn, which was drawn from the
amount paid in by pOiicyhOlders.
The money which may be said to
be wholly Incorporated is com
paratively little Crafts or steals rep
resenting sums by no means small in
themselves are small when considered
in relation TO the gigantic volume Of
business transacted. They are not at
all sufficient to affect in any way the
sOlvency OF the great companies The
big profits which are made by the
men in charge Of these companies do
not come from taking the money of
the company, but from the tremen-
dous advantage which the control of
it gives to them They are well able
and to see that it gains approximately
4 per cent interest, If by its use they
are enabled to swing deals Of mil
lions In magnitude
This is one branch Of the subject
Another branch is that the rivalry
for business has become so great that
the expense Of getting it has risen to
a point where 1t swallows nearly one
fourth Of the money received for pre-
miums. The craze for size has been
permitted TO run away with the bust
ness.
The most competent authorities
estimate that a reduction of Is to 20
per cent may be made in the cost Of
insurance to the public by reducing
expenses, by eliminating small leaks
and gratis, by cutting out some OF the
money which is needlessly added to
surplus funds, and by seeing that the
companies, and not shrewd insiders,
receive the full revenue derived from
the investment Of the company
funds. Some Of the estimates Of the
possiblee saving are much larger than
Is to 20 per cent, but even if that
sum may be kept in the pockets of
purchasers Of insurance it viii be a
very substantial gain
In justice to some OF the compa-
nies-and they are by no means
among the smallest Ones-it should
be said that the published figures
show that their expenses are less,
their premiums are smaller, and their
percentage of new business retained
is higher than the average Of all the
] companies doing business in thecOun-
try.
