tened to, a lively debate on the pos
sibilities of controlling insurance.
The big address came when Mr..
officials OF the New York insurance
companies and the methods that have
come to light during the recent inves-
legations.
Hits Nail on the Head
He declared that the system by
which trust fund Of 81, 250, 900 900
has been accumulated by the three
big companies and is controlled by
men who have no personal interest in
the fund while the real beneficiaries
are not allowed to say a word re-
garding them, must be uprooted en-
tirely.
He declared there is no necessity
of paying a man $4,000 year to
run an insurance company, unless it
is for the purpose Of getting q man
who can swindle the policyholders.
He said that it was most deplorable
that the insurance officials, after max
ing their confessions before the in
vestigating committee, should be al.
lowed to return to their Offices. He
asserted that it is impossible in this
country to send man with So.
100000 to Jail.
Many Gambling Deals
Mr.. Cochran stated that the in
surance companies engage in thou
sands of successful gambling deals
all of which are kept secret.
He then referred to the manner in
which the three big companies have
recognized as an example of the
fact that a man with insurance ex
perience is not necessary to run an
insurance company.
He ridiculed the idea that Ryan
of the Equitable would invest 81,
100000 in stock that would return
him only $1,000 year from purely
philanthropic motives. Instead, he
showed that Mr.. Ryan had appointed
as vigilant committee to take care
of his stock, three men who previous
ly knew nothing whatever about in
Surance.
Relative to the presidency of Paul
Morton, he declared that individual
was unable to command a salary OF
more than $4,000 or $4,000 year
before he was selected for his pres

Relative to the Mutual, he declared

Senate Passes Canal Sill

Mr.. Newlands, who expressed the
opinion that the construction Of the
canal should have been entrusted to

A substitute for Mr.. Bacon's amend
ment offered by Mr.. Hale was ac-
cepted. It specifically requires that
congress shall be supplied with regu-

those paid to laborers, skilled and
unskilled. Otherwise the bill was
passed as reported from committee.
During the day Mr.. Hale made the
authorized announcement that Mr..

PUTTING NE BLAME ON The

Ever since Adam tried to shirk re-
sponsibility for an undiscriminating
appetite for apples by laying the onus
OF the wrong on Ewes shoulders man
las been tempting the laughter of the
gods by attempting the impossible in
tho same way. He is always trying to
saddle blame on the other fellow" II
is a proclvity Of the whole race to
save their face" by laying the blame
Of their failures on somebody else o.
something else. 1t does not much mat
ter what 1t may be. They will lay 1t
on anything from garden worm up to
the Almighty, and do 1t with an air OF
insisting that others must believe them
and even that they believe it them
selves. 1t crops out In all sorts ~
places and ways. If you have friend
who Is given TO strong drink you can
never persuade him that he Is in any
danger, that he cannot quit any time

4 NONPARjiSAN TICKET.

1t is probable that the coming fall
election will be remarkable for non.
partisanship.
The candidates are. of course. the
nominees of their respective parties,
but I'm the matter of elections, in which
the interests Of the people are involved
to vital extent. the people have
shown both the desire and ability to
act for themselves and upon their own
judgment ut the polls.
In the coming election 1t Is certain
that party lines will be eliminated, and
that the best men for the offices sought
will be selected. 1t is well that this
should be so.
Party no more than rank makes the
worthy man. The honest man. ana lie
whose record Is approved by the pub.
lie, should be honored by the votes of
the people on all occasions.

LOYALTY 10 DUIY AND WHAT "
MEANS.

Probably 1t Is true, as the COM
mander Of the department Of the lakes
declares, that assertions from the army
will continue as long as public sentl-
ment favors the deserter. People do
not like to appear In the role of the
informer and military deserters are
consequently undlsturbed In the ma.
jority Of cases. There is, however, a
cause for these assertions, and 1t Is n
cause that has no effective remedy.
Young Americans desert from the
army in time Of peace because they
tire of the monotony of garrison duty,
OF drill and Of the endless and unvary-
ing routine Of a soldiers life when no
fighting Ia going OH or In prospect.
This is the cause for assertions not
only from the army but from the navy.
Young men are attracted by the su.
perficial glitter and excitement Of sol.
diering or sailoring and they enlist to
ind that playing soldier Is the most
dreary task In the world. Then they
desert. Most Of the talk about hard.
ships endured and of tyrannies prac.
ticed by officers Is utter humbug. The
real truth Is that Young America,
though he Is a fighter by instinct and
inheritance, Is not Sunday soldier"
He Is quick to volunteer when there Is
a prospect Of active service, but he IL
not to be depended upon to endure the
ordeal OF military discipline In time OF
peace. So that assertions are likely 70
continue and in so far as they mani
fest spirit Of American independence
they are not altogether discouraglnl
symptom of national life. We may bt
sure that the young men who are de
sorting nowadays would flock to the
colors II there was chance of smell
ing gunpowder In something else thar
target practice. This, however, con
stitutes no defense OF desertion, which
is the objectionable military crime
Deserters should be punished in fash
ion TO discourage desertlon. Other con
slderatlons aside, young men who en-
ter the army should be taught to keel
their contract with the government.
