CORRUPT AND CONTENT. 4"

In the January Lippincott's there
is an arrestive paper on present-daY
Finance by a well-knowni capitalist
who hides under the nom de guerre
wv. L." In this the author spea ks
as follows:
The investigation of several great
Life Insurance Companies has become
matter of universal interest, for the
revelations point to germane condi-
tions In other financial organizations
as well. The public is manifestly a.
mazed by the, to them, astounding
abuses of the resources of these great
corporations to the advantage of those
in positions of trust connected there
with but do thefnanciers of the age
share this surprise T? probably not,
for their intimate association with
the sources from which large sums of
money are constantly derived has ia.
miliarized them with the abuses that
pervade the financial management of
our great corporation. This does not
imply necessarily that funds are stol-
en-, or that the courses adopted must
be construed as criminal, but, as
evinced in the development incidental
to the investigation of the affairs of
the Insurance Companies referred to,
the interests of the real owners of
these great properties have been dis.
regarded in shameful manner.
With full knowledge of such facts
the average stockholder does not
make the least effort to rectify the
evil. Recently the writer had a dis
cussion with friend regarding the
relative merits of the managemen
OF IT, rad nies, an
ontended that the company In which
was interested was managed with
scrupulou' honesty, while the COM
pany Ia which his friend had holding
of thousands of shares was conducted
notoriously to the advantage ''of the
NAANi" va i'o NSphi ut IIltNu
admitted the facts, but said "You
nave your company managed honestly
and have not had dividend for years,
while we have never failed to receive
dividends annually. Now / should
rather be robbed and get dividend,
than have your honest management
and get nothing"
This one sentence presents the view
of very many stockholders; they are
satisfied so long as theyreceive fair
return for their investing, and do not
bother themselves about details of
management-forgetting that some
day their neglect may result In loss of
even ruin. This "so-long g-as-I-get-a-
share" feeling of contentment on the
of the stockholders helps largely to
encourage carelessuess In the conduct
Of the affairs of all companies.

Conditions in Cincinnati, graphical

show that the danger of
reaction in favor of the Cox machine
is a grave menance to thorough and

long been tainted and corrupted by
graft and bossism that they are SUBJ

the ropes. They have access to all

They have none so profitable as graft
has been--as they hope it will be

1t is necessary that the Republicans

party's history and professions should
keep up the fight for reform. They
must not relax their tTotts until they

An Office on a Stump.

A cross section cut from fir
tree thirteen feet in diameter
forms the floor of an office Of tree
furniture which has attracted II
great deal of attention in the
Washington state building at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition The
big tree from which the thirteen
foot section was cut grew in
Snohomish county, Washington,
and the exhibit is made to show
the great timber resources of this
county.
The cross section is about a
foot thick, with the upper surface
polished, 80 that it makes an ex-
cellent floor. On 1t are placed
several other cross sections of
smaller trees, and these do service
as chairs. They are of cedar.
Some of the stumps thus utilized
are cut off and polished to form
stools, while others have been
carved so as to make a comfort
able chair with a back. Visitors
are always welcomed in the
Snohomish section, and are at
liberty to rest on the natural
seats.
The unique feature Of this un-
usual exhibit is II typewriter desk
made of n single fir log standing
on end. The log forms a cylinder
about four feet high and three
feet thick, with polished top.
One side has been cut away under
meath, so that there is plenty of
room for the stenographer' s
knees, and the log desk is found
quite practicable. A stenographer
sits perched on a high chair be-
side the desk, and any one who
wishes may dictate letters to
friends at home without charge,
In another part of the Snoho.
mish section, n log six feet in
diameter has been used to make a
comfortable seat. The log has
been carved so that only a post q
foot in diameter is left in the CEN
ter to form back, and the effect
is similar to that produced wher
a seat is built around the base OF
Il tree.

Railroaders In Camp
Party of Officials of Santa Fee Spend a Few
Days in Camp Near San Angelo and En-
JOY the Outing.

Division Superintendent I. B.
Coppage of Temple, Chief Clerk
f. f. Adams of the general pass
enger office at Galveston, Engineer
Ed Garlick of Temple, and h. f.
A Jams, Jr., of Galveston, spent a
few days camping on South Con-
cho. They arrived in San Angelo
Friday and returned home Tues
day.
In view of the fact that San
Angelo people feel very kindly
toward the Santa Fee company
just at the present time it was
thought proper to show these
gel Ilemen, two of whom were
10 gely instrumental in helping
s \ Angelo along in her desires,
me little courtesy. Accordingly
delegation consisting of Geo. Il.
Webb, presidenG of the Business
Club, G. e. Hudson, John Free
land and Chas. A. Daley were
selected to pay them a call while
in camp. Unfortunately for the
visitors and for the delegation,
Mr.. Webb was taken sick, and in
a hurry to get away, the other
members of the party picked up
the first man they found on the
streets. In this way the editor of
this paper was included in the
party and got good square meal
for once.
Messrs. Coppage and Adams
are pleasant gentlemen. Mr..
Coppage impresses one with his
aptness, his quickness of Lercep-
ton, his brilliancy of wit and his
high order of intelligence. He
spends good part of his time
looking after the affairs of the
branch and is in a position to do
San Angelo much good. Mr.,
Coppage likes West Texas. He
likes San Angelo and it is the
opinion Of the writer that Mr.,
Coppage will do many things dur.
ing his tenancy of the office of
division superintendent which
will benefit San Angelo and which
the people of this city will appre'
ciate.
Mr.. Adams is likewise inhuen'
tial but in another channel and
in n different way. Mr.. Adams
is chief clerk to General Passen'
ger Agent Keenan, of Galveston
and not being on the road to any
great extent IS consequently con
stantly in touch with whatever il
going on in Galveston railroad
circles. He knows railroad mel
and is n student of human nature
lie has had long experience IL
the railroad business and is famil

that life. His influence amounts
to much more than his position
indicates, because Of his splendid

You Can't Kill
Inside With Medicine Won't You Try Liquozone

You who still use medicine for
what medicine cannot do-let us show
you the power of Liquozone. Let us
buy you a bottle-a full-size bottle.
Please try 1t at our expense.
You cannot cure illness without de-
stroying the cause of it. And, when
that cause is inside germs, medicine
cannot destroy 1t.
Don't cling to drugs because your
fathers employed them. The germ
cause of disease was unknown until a
few years ago. Until then, drugs were
used because no one knew better.
Now most people know that in germ
disease medicine is almost helpless.
And they know the reason why.
Liquozone has cured millions OF
germ troubles by destroying the
cause.-The germs. These cured ones
are everywhere; your neighbors and
friends are among them. If you dom
know the power of this product, won't
you ask those who do?
Then try to believe that wha
Liquozone is doing for millions of sicl
ones. all over the world, it is bounC
/ To do for YOU.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-04-01
Two Million Dollars

Have been spent to make LiQuo-
zone known. We have bought the first
bottle and given it free to every sick
one we learned of. The result is that
one home in five the country over,
has some one whom Liquizone has
cured. These homes are scattered
everywhere. Your neighbors and
friends live in some of them. If you
will only ask what Liquozone does
there are millions to tell you about IT,.
And we paid 100000 for the sim
pie right to make Liquozone-the
American rights. The rights in other
countries have sold for proportionate
sans. We mention this fact to in
d!cate the recognized value of Liquo-
zone. Men have never before paid
such a price for any discovery used
in the cure of sickness.
Before We bought Liquozone, we
had it tested for years, through ply
sicians and hospitals in this country
and others. We had it employed in
every stage of every germ disease; in
thousands of the most difficult cases
obtainable, For two years, in many
a disease called incurable, we proved
| that Liquozone did what medicine
could not do. That was the reason
| for its price
