Held Back Peoples Money


Insurance Commissioner Host states
in his annual report on life and cas-
uality companies that thirty-seven
old line Insurance companies operat-
ing in this state last year tconfscated'
about slA, 900, 900 which should have
been returned to their policy holders.
Wisconsin and Minnesota are the
only states that requires Insurance
companies to incorporate gain and
loss exhibit in their annual reports.
The commissioner also says that
.sthe loading or that portion of the
premiums used for expenses was SLID, :
789, 282.14 while the actual expense
Of the companies amounted to $l22,
99A. 1865 or about $1,000, 900 more
than that allowed for expenses. With
SD, 600, 600 at their disposal, it was
an easy matter for these companies
exceed their expense loading by over
81, 600, Ooo."
Commissioner Host. said that at
least fifteen states, chiefly in the mid
die west. will hereafter demand an
nual gain and loss exhibits OF life in
surance companies.

A. Floating Exposition.

The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat calls
attention Of the people of the Missis
sippi valley to the floating exposition
of American products which the Unit
ed States government will send from
New York on a journey Of $1,000
miles. It is proposed to stop at seven
ty-fve ports in forty-fve foreign coun-
tries. Europe, Asia and the voyage
will be concluded in South America
and the West Indies. Some of the
states have anticipated the idea to a
limited extent, in domestic way, by
fitting up exposition railway cars and
sending them over routes where the
exhibits were likely to be mutually
beneficial in business. A big modern
ship can be converted into large
commercial museum and, with such a
novel cargo, would arouse general IN
terest wherever she halted for the adj
mission of visitors
The Democrat considers this
sschance the Mississippi valley, the
seat of great manufacturing interests
as well as the chief granary of the
country, should not overlook. The
foreign trade in many parts of the
world is apt to get into ruts, and the
mass of the people know little of what
might be done by looking into improv-
The Ladysmith news and Ingram news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1905-1906, 1905-11-04

ed commercial opportunities. Ameri-
can manufacturers are selling more
and more of their products abroad,
and will dispose of larger quantities
when comparative merits are thoroly
understood. In South America espe-
cially the floating exposition is need
ed, but there is a field for it in any
of the seaports.

Bad Company and Bad Whiskey.

Bad Company and Bad Whiskey.
Young man, beware of bad company
and bad whiskey.
It is hard to tell which is the worse
probably bad company.
Let me draw picture.
A young man starts out IN his pro-
fession in a small town where there
were no others in active practice.
He was alone and had a good bust
ness.
He was favored son in all his en-
yironments.
He was given of1ce-was a county
officer at one time, at another time
had charge of the village schools.
He was Industrious and had a good
business.
He encountered the twin evils-bad
company and bad whiskey.
And now?
This man, in what should be the
vigor of manhood, at the time lie
should be in the midst of his greatest
triumpths, where is his clientele?
Gone.
Where are his triunpths? Unborn.
Today under the baneful influence
Of bad company and bad whiskey,
away along toward the MONDAY of life,
he is looking for small fees from trans
lent clients, without clientele worthy
of the name, his financial obligations
in vendue, struggling with the wolf at
the door and the mortgage within.
Here is picture to beware Of.
Heed it while yet there is time. Be-
ware of bad company, shnn them as
you would the evils they lead to-the
bar, the gaming table, professional or

Graft and Justice.

Probably few people appreciate
the power of graft. Most people feel
that it is something indefinite touching
the expense of government and in
some remote way reaching taxes.
But it is more than that. Today it
is the most potent existing feature
IN the administration of justice, or
injustice, as the case may be- Go
where graft has prevailed long and
you don't have to go far-and you will
find as perfect organization for the
manipulation of the machinery OF
Justice as it is possible to form.
What will yoa find? Offices filed
with servile whelps, eurs, jumping
jacks of the grafters.
And who will the chiefs OF the
grafters be? Generally people claim
ing responsibility officers
in banks from the vaults Of which
ay may secure funds upon which
i've IKE les upon legitimate in
10 s sat a section hand would look
upon Nth seorn. Follow their records
back and you viii generally find them
TO have been in a legislature OF city
council FROM which they emerge as
officials of county or state, frequently
of the cafpetbag order, in some newly
organized section. Or you may find
them disbarred attorneys, financial or
manufacturing fakirs The writer s
attention was recently called to one
of the latter who now owes Chicago
bank $4,000, four years overdue.
They organize to control local. politics.
in their combination they have repre-
sentatives of al parties If IN Wis
consin at the present time, one will
represent the stalwaHts, another will
claim tc, work for the breeds and
another the democrats they will
all work for themselves.
They will control the local press
rs far as they can, and if one cannot
oe controlled, they will try to destroy
or diseredit it.
But the administration OF justice
is their greatest interest. The sher-
ifs office is Of great moment. The
occupant n9ust be an associate or
tool or both. He must be dependable
at all times. AS he may not be at
hand at all times, his deputy must
be dependable eur will do for
that The prosecuting attorney must
be in the ring if he be able, but a
weakling Of a lawyer may be secured
at times, when partnership in graft
is not essential. It is well, too, from
the grafters standpoint to have jus
tees Of the peace who will serve the
gang-some rmendicant whose vocation
will only partially support him, some
one with healthy saloon bills if pos
sible.
With such machine, prosecutions
may be Obstructed # begun they
may be made to fail by the proseeut-
ing attorney. # able and courageous
lawyers appear, the jury list may be
made up to suit the occasion.
The News appreciates that there
is in all this power of organization
The Ladysmith news and Ingram news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1905-1906, 1905-11-04

that is effective not alone in cloaking
rascals but in discrediting people OF
and repute. No one knows
when the trap may be set for him
and the undiscerning will wonder who
pulled the string. But the wide awake
will not fail to discover IN it all the
wiles and schemes of the graft -
men so enthused by belief in their
devices that they will insult the dig
nifty of the court by an effort to applaud
their associates.
These grafters, generally shysters
and pettifoggers, assisted by faklrs
and office seekers, shiftless mechanics
and starving business men of weak
minds and consciences, frequently
secure a reputation with the unobserv-
ing for ability and keenness. It is
nothing of the kind only craftiness
developed by years of practice. If a
shyster, he is effective in justice and
police courts where practice in defend
ing small criminals by bulldozing
tactics produces a certain shade of
talent, but they know little Of law and
less of decent practice. They will not
hesitate to falsify records or to abuse
without reference to the evidence sd-
duced in court. 1t is the machine and
the ability of their servile servants
to produce the right kind of a jury that
they depend upon.
The CRATER has his day. But the
public finally gets wise. The machine
is broken and the CRATER goes to jai
or other pastures.
Such is graft with its schemes, its
machines and it's dangers. The tax
levy is the small and DISTINGUISHING
feature of the matter. Against il
all honest men should protest. Its
destruction should be the desire of al
good men. And it isn't necessary fol
town to be as large as Milwaukee
ST. Louis or Philadelphia before start

One Who Was There Describes
Fraternal Sanitarium Banquet

James G. McNary returned Saturday
evening from trip of two weeks du-

that evening. II
Concerning. the banquet he says:
It was planned and carried out on a
scale proportionate with the magni-
tude of the event which 1t signalized.
Among the total OF $50 guests pre-
sent were many men of prominence IN
church and state; most of the best
known figures In the fraternal world;
representatives of the associated
press and of every paper in st, Louis.
Las Vegas was represented by Mr..
F. H. Pierce, DR.. J. NJ. Cunningham
and myself. Alamagordo was there
in force and while the efforts of her
representatives did not relax until the
last minute, they accepted the newt.
