ASTOUNDING INSURANCE DISCLOSURES

Out Of the money entrusted to the New York Life
Insurance company for the benefit of widows and or
phans $4S70250 paid into the last presidential
campaign fund of the Republican party.
The money paid, according to the testimony
of the company's vice president for this
1T was paid because we felt that the assets of the
New York Life Insurance company would be jeopar-
died by Democratic success"
And who the 1--WE" that trembled at that awful
thought? The who thus testified George v. Per-
kns poses in the double role of vice president of the
New York Life and chief partner of ]. P. Nor
gan in the great banking house of j. P. Morgan Co.
This revelation illuminates some important matters
pertaining to the presidential campaign of last
1t will be remembered that when the Republican leaders
charged with bleeding the trusts to the limit for
campaign funds the charge Indignantly denied.
When Judge Parker finally reiterated the charge specf
cay, to the effect that the Republican campaign
with $10000000 fund, contributed largely by the
trusts chorus of righteous protest went from the
Republican campaign managers In order to counteract
the effect of Judge Parker's charge, President Roose
vet projected into the campaign for the first time
with an indignant response.
And now comes the confession forced from the dual
representative of the York Life company and ].
P Morgan by documentary evidence, that one of the
many big trusts "chpped in" S4S7O250 to secure the
election of Theodore Roosevelt Only twenty and
fraction of such contributions would aggregate
million dollars.
After this enforced disclosure there be doubt
that the charge made by the Democrats literally
true and that the Republican campaign run with
money contributed by the trusts, virtually prepay
ment for favors to come?
But worst of ALL is the direct evidence that large
sums of Republican campaign money taken, il
legally and unconsconaby from savings entrusted to
life insurance companies for the support Of widows and
orphans Savings Of hundreds of thousands of provi
men, intended for the maintenance Of loved ones,
dumped into the s1OOOOOOO fund to whoop it up
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks"
And then the subterfuge that 1--WE felt that the
of the New York Life Insurance company would be
jeopardized by a Democratic success" The real fear
was that Democratic would lead to curbng of
the great trusts including such those three
colossal life insurance companies Of New York. And
that same fear led the of other big trusts to
down deeply into their trousers for money wherewth
to elect the Republican presidential ticket.

ing trip himself, and finding it diff
flcult proposition, he probably con-
cIuded to attend to easier things. The
fact that the first gold ever discovered
in California was unearthed in Los
Angeles county justifies prospectors in
working in all fields.
The Herald has steadily held that
the building of the Salt Lake railway
would create an unparalleled mining
excitement in the southwestern zone
of the United States. Short as has
been the period since the road was
completed, this prediction has been
justified. The crowd of prospectors
who have come from Salt Lake and
who are coming in a steadily growing
tide, would do we'll to give their at
tention to the San Gabriel range, to
the Soledad and adjoining canyons, to

BLAME THE PUBLIC

Occasionally the president of a university says
thing publicly that is we'll worthy of consideration. We
exampue in the annual report just issued by
President Angel of the University of Michigan Touch
ing upon the increasing popularity of athletic
games, particularly among students he says
"The public crazy about football the students,
and might we'll ask college not to share in
the excitement of presidential election to expect
them not to participate in the prevalent ath-
letcs."
The average American is lover of spirited sports
athletics that recall their boyhood days. And fact
that the sport often is rough deracts from the
eageness it, for the old boys remember that hard
knocks only gave zest to the games Of long ago.
For tangible testimony of such enjoyment let any
doubter visit baseball game in Los Angeles that
ises especially good play 1t Is entirely from the
religious point of view to witness such sport Sun

ABoMINATIoNS THAT WE CONSUME

A possible drawback to the of prohibition
may be found in the latest report from the city chemist
That funconary has been making analyses of "abso-
lutey pure waters vended in Los Angeles, with rather
startling results in cases. He gives the comfort
ing assurance however, that his Investigations do not
indicate that all the bottled water sold in this city is
under the chemical ban On the contrary, he declares
that some of it is of excellent quality.
But of the waters sold in this city, according
to this authority contain twice much akali the
hydrant variety and especially rich in bac
teria The chemist declares further that he has
tests number of brands of drinking water with the
result that the health officer will probably ask that
some of them be taken off the market
But there is nothing aluring when turn from
the bottled water that drink of the prepared
foods that we eat. AS result of the chemists tests
several butchers have been arrested and fined for sell
ing meats treated with preservatives to disguise evil
dence of decay Even the appetzing tomato catsup
suggestive of the ruddy vegetable is declared
to be- in some least product of squash and
pumpkin patches, colored with deleterous stufs.
The only hope of escape from denominations in what
we drink appears to be in the of the
diearan that is reducing the eating and drinking
habit to the minimum. When reaches the point
of evolution at which he live on air alone-there
comes in the reminder that the air is chock full Of
animal life.

is exceedingly impracticable. About a
dozen years ago the famous bonanza
king, John w. Mackay, and L. J. Rose,
accompanied by a donkey and couple
of attendants, went up the mountain

was hardly a fair test. Rose got so

obliged to load him upon the animal.
