Insurance Mcgnates Brought to Bay.

1tisstated in New York dispatches that Attorney
General Mayer intends to take legal action to COM
pei the restitution of the money contributed by in
surance companies to political campaign funds.
The officers of these companies would be delighted
to compromise on this basis. 1t has been suggested
by lawyers in Gotham that they might be prosecuted
criminally for diverting to improper uses money
which they held as trust fund. But that seems
to be too cruel procedure in this age of graft and
high finance. If an employee in subordinate posi-
ton had diverted $500 to his uses he would proba-
bly, have been prosecuted to the full extent of the
law. There seems to be all the difference in the
world, however, between the man who uses $500 of
insurance money for his own purposes and the
official who transfers $50 900 from the same fund to
the Golfers Of political party. Hence the Attor-
ney- General of New York would have hard time
N conducting to successful close criminal pro-
.s sas.oh against the gentleman who made happy
ooieo'or OF campaign funds in 1904. Still, even
~ unsuccessful prosecution might not be without
soou moral effect Already the head Of the Equi-
.aole Life Assurance Society has announced that

THE OLD MAN.

l covet not kingdoms or riches of earth,
Mere phantoms Of life's little span,
And yet there's station long to attain;
I'd like to be called "The Old Man."
In army, or Office, or college, or mill,
Where men render homage to worth,
You'll find "The Old Man. is a nobler degree
Than titles of favor or birth.
The Boss" is master who drives with lash;
1.-THE Governor rather guy;
But labor laughs loud where they say The Old Man,"
And bushes the workingman's sigh.
He's patient OF error, exacting of truth,
Rebukes, if he must, with smile;
A brother in sorrow, and tone Of the boys.''
But still "The Old Man" all the while.
The day he is absent the shop is awry,
Though the "sub" does the best that he can.
AND when he returns the men pray as they work.
God bless and preserve The Old Man!'''

Chira's National Tree.

The tung-shu, or wood oil, tree is
worthily named the national tree Of
China. 1t is stately in appearance,
with smooth green bark and wide
spreading branches, affording a fine
shade. 1t belongs to the euphorbiacae,
or spurge, family, Of which the castor
oil plant is member 1t bears a fruit
resembling shell bark hickory nut,
but as large as small orange. Each
nut contains three triangular seeds sim
liar to small Brazil nuts. The oil is
pressed from these seeds, and the ref
use is used as fertilizer. The oil Is
used principally for polishing WOO
work and dressing leather. Consid-
able quantities are exported. The wood
of the tung-shu is used for making mi
steal instruments, fine boxes and the
framework Of small houses 1t is free
from the ravages of insects.

In recognition Of President Roosevelt success1ul

In recognition of President Roosevelt's successful
efforts to get Russia out Of her trouble with Japan
Mr. DeWitte has, in a communication to the Presl-
dent. stated that the Car has been pleased to
remove the rctaliatory duties levied upon certain
American products. The retaliatory duties which
have been removed will restore to our manufact-
urers of machinery market very much needed.
These duties were imposed on American products
because our Government had previously increased
the duties or bounty paid Russian sugar. This
little tariff war really the United States more
than it did Russia for very little Russian sugar is
anorted into this country. The Car might have
clung to this policy indefinitely, but for the peace
negotiations so successfully inaugurated by Presl-
lent Roosevelt These duties have been abolished
As an act of gratitude. The result of this retaliatory
ct has given for years the German and British
manufacturers the monopoly of the market for
machinery in Russia. The Cars action will I'M
ouestionably rebound to the good OF the Russian
neonle as the United States is far ahead Of all ma
tons in machinery manufacture.

1t is region Of Arkansas rich in minerals and
timber that will be opened by the proposed electric
railroad from Little Rock to Hot Springs. There
is good deal of the famous Arkansas milestone
there, besides soapstone, slate and bauxte; but the
most valuable deposits are the pottery clays. AS
for the 100000 acres of virgin timber along the
line, it is hoped that it will be cut with due obser
vance of the rules of modern forestry. Timber in
this country is becoming scarce enough to be cut
in the most economical way, and with view to

TO advertise-in reliable

the columns of the above-the-

usually from twice to four times

\ Because the daily is the paper

\ Because the columns of the
daily belittle it's customers, read

extols them.
II Because the city editor is a
