The Brakeman's Effort.

ne bfdKemdnS Effort
The brakeman travels through the
train
And calls out every station,
And when he's through you have q
guess
You're somewhere in creation.
To what he says in singing voice
You try to take a tumble,
But only get blur of noise,
Some words in ragged tumble.
Next stop" he cries, lis Boo-oo-oo:
Change cars for Rumpty Dumpty.
All passengers take car ahead
Who go to Imply Umpty!"
And then he passes through the car
The same weird sounds repeating:
"This place Is Hi-lo-jack-itee.
Ten minutes here for eating!"
The language that he lightly sings
Is really quite a wonder,
A cross between a crosscut saw
And very distant thunder,
And If the passenger can guess
The station he Is lucky,
Or know II he's in Idaho
Or down in old Kentucky.
Where does he get these twisted
sounds
To primal noise returning?
Not in the dictionary, sure,
Or any book of learning.
He must throw in the melting pot
Weird words from all the nations
And draw out several yards of sound
With which to call the stations.

To be sure the greater portion Of them
is said. to have expired last January and
was only to insure the collections of
drafts, and the rest is probably not
worth much. and the total will not be-
gin to amount to $547, 900. Then there is
that Scranton bond. OF course the state
viii have to fight if it ever collects any
thing on it, and it may not succeed even
then. And if these bonds fail, what is
to prevent the people from standing the

INSURANCE ExTRAVAGANcE.

Reports that come from New York
indicate that the Equitable is not the
only big insurance company that
needs overhauling. The Equitable was
found out by reason of the squabbIe
that arose among its officers. There
seems to be others that have not yet
been found out.
In. discussing the subject of extrav-
agance in the management of the big
life insurance companies the Era
Magazine says that one of the most
prominent of the life insurance COM
panies of New York disbursed for
management expenses last year nearly
II millions of dollars, while the ex-
penditure by the Equitable for the
same purpose was less than fifteen
millions. This company's expendi-
lures for home office saIaries-incIud-
ing 100000 to the president-were
more than one million dollars. IT ex-
pended $1,134,S34 for advertising,
printing, and stationery and postage. -
as compared with $772,646 expended
for the same purpose by the Equit-
able. 1t spent for illegal expenses
$364,255; the Equitable for the same
purpose, $2O4,019. Included in these
legal expenses are said to be enor-
nous amounts paid for various jobs of
bribery and corruption the revelation
of which would be a startling surprise
to the public. Furniture, fixtures and
safes" cost this company last year
$152,077, as compared with only $24,-
040 paid out by the Equitable, and it
is said by one informant that the total
of such expenditures by this company
during the last few years will aggre-
gate nearly seven hundred thousand
dollars. There are stories of hand
woven rugs costing $4,000, and a
throne chair for the president which
was billed at $4,000. Continuing the
Era says: What is your idea of items
such as these, Mr.. Policy-hoIder-you

gage on your humble home because
your savings are so limited, even while

charged to you at 80 per cent. more
than you ought to pay? The ruthless
extravaganza of these companies pro-
ceeds from delirium. It has no
bounds, because it is not subject to
check. The money that is thus ex-
pended is other peoples money-in-
exhaustible and infinite as the Gre
dulity of the public ITSELF
Isn't it about time the government
were exercising some sort of supervi-
sion over insurance companies that
will guarantee to the public that their
money will not be SO ruthlessly souan-
dered?

GOvERNOR HOCH's COUP.

And so the kansas was christened
with water after all. After all the dis
cussion as to whether champagne, wa
ter. oil, or some other liquid should be
used, Governor Hoch seems to have
quietly gone ahead and used water
pure water from John Browns spring
without waiting for the consent of any
other nation or state on earth.
1t seems likely that neither the build
ers of the kansas nor the navy de-
partment insisted on the use of cham
payne. Governor Hoch announced some
time ago that he would prefer to use
water, but would use champagne if the
powers that be insisted. Therefore it
seems that they did not insist.
The governor evidently filled cham
payne bottle with the John Brown
spring water, and no one was the wiser
until after the christening was accom-
plished.
Now that it is over it seems quite
likely that the Kansas will do just as
good service as though it had been
christened with wine. 1t may posi-
bly, be a greater credit to the state. 1t
is to be hoped, however, that there
will be no great connection between
the christening fluid and the future of
the great war vessel. We are anxious.
of course, that it should always stand
for those principles of human freedom
for which John Brown fought, but we
would depIore for it such a stormy
career or such disastrous end as that
which came to the martyr of Harper's
Ferry

| Observation made in Switzerland by
w. Y. Morgan: 81 suppose that in
proportion to population there are more
university graduates in Switzerland
than in any other country on earth. In
America the young men and women
too often cut short their education in
order to get into business. In Switzer-
| land there are no such alluring oppor-
tunities and the students stay till
graduation. A young Swiss will go
through a university and then go to
work at the trade of his father. In

to do better and really does worse by

While protests have been made
against the billboard because of its
