Excitement Created Shfieklng OF
Elevator Whistle"
c. g. 0. FIRE FIGHTERS ON SCENE
No Trace Of a Blaze Could Be Found
and Search for Man Who Turned in
Alarm From Passenger Depot Was
in Vain.

Considerable excitement was caus-
ed along the waterfront about 9
o'clock this morning by false alarm
Of fire turned in from the box at
the Chesapeake & Ohio passenger
depot. The great pump-housc siren,
known as the elevator whistle. =
sounded the alarm twice and within
a very fcw minutes the employees Of
the railway company 1T work on the
piers had turned out with their reels
and were on the scene
No trace Of II fire could he found
and tho men in charge of the fire
fighters could not even discover who
had turned in the alarm. After
searching in vain for something in
the shape of a blaze to deal with, the
men returned TO their work.
Ever since tho great fire which de-
stoycd two piers, two steamships, n
full-rigged ship and n tug nine years
ago, tho shrieking OF the elevator
whistle" after dark always creates
excitement throughout the city, csrc.
cially. among thc employees OF tho
railway company and steamship lines.
This morning the excitement had
passed and the carly arrivals were
returning to their homes before NAM
people had time 10 ret into their
clothes and start for the piers.

Now Other Companies.

The Equitable Life Assurance associ-
alton Of New York has had a raking
over that has shown the public some
thing Of what IS possible in these vast
institutions. And tits the new features
of life Insurance The tontine and limit
ed payment plans that have built up
the immense funds with which the
directors and influential policy holders
have been specializing. 1t has for years
been apparent to those who have given
heed to the newer order of things, that
the conditions that have been exposed
in the one instance would prevail. And
there is every probability that similar
conditions prevail in others of the large
companies.
The leading directors Of the Equitable
are being sued and the insurance de-
partment is Investigating other iI1sur-
ance concerns.
It looks nicely upon paper to see that
these great conceSz& have hundreds of
millions in their reserve funds, bat il
is not so re- assuring to kn6N that tEase
hundreds of millions are in the keeping
of daring spectators, men who are
piling up millions in profits made from
other peoples money.
Life insurance in It's pure and simple
form doesn' t pile up such vast amounts
OF money. 1t does place in reserve
ample funds TO guarantee the fulfill
ment Of contracts. It answers every
protection against fate and does this
without unnecessary risk.
The sooner the people come to the
conclusion that the old-tinne form is
the best and quit those forms that
pile up almost untold millions, the
better. In the meantime, the insur-
ance department will broaden the les
son by investigating she other great
companies and showing that the re-
form must lie in the system.

In spite OF the efforts Of the stand
patters to make it appear otherwise,
the question Of tariff reform IS the
one OF. primary Importance TO the
American people today. It is q cues
ton that will rot Gown until it is
settled right. And the time 20 settle
it right has arrived The great mass
of the people are demanding tariff
reform, and tariff reform they will
have.
The need is for a leader The peo-
pie are ready to rally around the flag
Of some man who has the ability
the Willingness and the backbone to
lead the fight against the special
interests that have grown SO power
full and so domineering under the pro-
lection Of our tariff laws.
Is Gov. LaFollete such leader?
1t is mp to him.
The,Jo urnal is right that LaFollette,
nor any other man can changxathe,senate,
but it is within reason that g man Of
great talent can make himself a leader
by EFFORT in that direction Such is
LaFollette's opportunity. No man ever
had better one.

Set Them THINKING.

the west and the addresses made, the
ST. Paul Dispatch says:
Whether or not he has discovered the
grand arcanum, whether or not he has
evolved the plan which will bring to the
American people relief from and re-
prisals against the System" which has
robbed them, Thomas w. Lawson has
done one thing and for that he deserves
all praise and gratitude. He has set
them thinking. He has opened their
eyes to an astonishing width in reveal
ing to them how they are robbed, by
whom they are robbed and what the
The Ladysmith news and Ingram news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1905-1906, 1905-08-05

consequences will be if the robbery is
not stayed and an example made of the
robbers. His startling assertions, his
thrilling revelations have not been gain
said, and deeply and generally he has
got the people thinking. Onee set the
great American mind at work upon a
problem, once get the heart of the
American people throbbing at wrong
and the first step is taken toward the
solution of the one and the righting of
the other. This is what Lawson has
done; this is the service he has rendered
and to him belongs the need Of praise,
the gratitude Of the public.

Some Democratic Opinion.

The democratic Milwaukee Journal,
a paper conducted upon pretty indie
pendent lines, has the following to say
regarding Governor La Follette's OPP
portunity in the United States senate:
The governors opportunity is at
Washington not at Madison The things
that he set out to do in this state have
all been accomplished, SO far as legisla-
ton is concerned, and pretty much as
the governor desired, Whether these
laws will bring about the conditions for
which the governor has fought remains
to be seen. Certain it is that his going
to Washington will in no wise change
the result His leadership will be just
as real and just as virile when lie is
senator as it is while he is governor.
It is q part Of a senator's business to
maintain his leadership in his state.
The consequences Of an inability to do
this are seen in the case of ex-senator
QuarIes and will be seen again a few
wears hence in the case Of Senator
.Spooner. Mr.. LaFolette is no novice;
he knows his business.
The governors opportunity is at
Washington. It is there that the real
struggle against corporate domination
is to take place and it is there that Mr..
LaFollette will have the chance to
demonstrate whether CT not he is the
statesman that his friends believe him
to beand the leader for whom the people
of the nation are looking.
There are some tremendously import
ant questions to be passed upon by
congress during Senator LaFoIlette's
term Il is quite safe to say that the
political leadership Of tho nation for q
decade CT more viii be determined by
the attitude OF men upon one or two
questions which are clamoring for i'm
mediate Settlement and which cannot
much longer be ignored.
Just now the matter of regulating
railway rates is to the fore. Gov. La
Toilette fought his greatest fight in
this state upon this question. He viii
have the chance to make the same
fight in the senate-but with differ
ent outcome There will be no railway
legislation by congress that is not ap-
proved by the railroads. The senate
is too much under corporation control
to admit of anything else. MIR. La
Toilette will have chance to take part
in the debate and to use all the powers
of his eloquence upon the slow-rnoving
senate, but he will not change the re-
suit If a rate law is passed at all, it
will be satisfactory to the roads.
But the rate matter IS not the only
important one before the people, nor
is it the most important one There
are rate determinations which ought
to be corrected These determinations
are evils of the grossest kind and
must be wiped out. But the injustices
of discriminating freight rates are
not to be compared with those that
spring from the unjust and unreason-
able tariff laws which are now in force.

SEEKS OUTLET OF SOUTH.
Canadian Pacific and 500 Said to Back
Survey Near Aberdeen.

Canadian Paciflc and 500 SaiQ 70 Back
Survey Near Aberdeen.
The latest revelation in railroad cir
| cles indicate that the movements of
the surveyors who have been working
/ in the vicinity of Aberdeen are direct
ed by the Canadian Pacific-Soo roads.
1t is asserted that in the Minneapolis
& st. Louis road the Canadian Pacific
and 500 have found an outlet to st.
Louis and the South, which a be OBJ
tanned by securing control of the for
mer road.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis has a
South Dakota branch running into Wa
tertown, and the 500 for a number Of
years has owned a right of way from
it's North Dakota line through McPher-
son county to Leola, the county seat,
and extending to Aberdeen. 1t is be-
lieved to be the intention of the 500,
through the Minneapolis & st. Louis
road, to build the link which will unite
the Watertown branch with the 500
line in North Dakota. The proposed
line would prove profitable, as it would
run through an exceedingly rich and
prosperous section of the country. 1t
is known that Minneapolis e st. Louis
officers have sought to secure options
on land for townsite purposes in Nc
Pherson county, northwest Of Aber-
deem.
