GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

Under the name OF lsaIuOn q
Crawford news bureau of Omaha is
furnishing the western newspaper,
free of cost, matter pertaining to the
railroad business of the country.
Especially is this matter intended to
educate the people against govern
ment ownership OF control IN any
way of railroads. 1t may therefore
be presumed that this syndicate Is
maintained by the railroads of the
west in their own interest.
While everyone of us is anxious to
get whack at corporation, and
especially railroad company, and
while we know full well that the
railroads are not fighting government
control for the benefit of the people
primarily, in our humble opinion it
is still to the best advantage to have
railroads under private. control.
They will make money, no doubt,
and they will squeeze the other busi-
ness interests of the country tor all
they can. They will also pay as
small wages to workmen as is possi-
BILE, if you please. They will do all
this and they can do all this and the
management still be better for the
country than government manage
ment, which may mean the control
of all the great transportation lines
by political grafters. Corporation
lists are INSCRIPTIONS, but they are
saints compared with the average
political CRATER. and to allow the
latter to secure control of all the
great semi-public enterprises would
be worse than jumping from the fry
ing pan into the fire.
Should times again change and old
fashioned Washingtonian or Jetfer-
sonian honesty re-enter politics, gov
ernment control of all public utili-
ties might be desirable, but if that
time should come all the beautiful
dreams of the socialist might also
become practicable. AT present, if
it be only railroad commission to
regulate freight rates and other
questions of a similar nature, it
would only mean an excellent graft
for that commission. 1t must be
remembered that politicians are not
all Teddy Roosevets and that while
ne might keep a commission good
during his administration, he is
rapidly nearing the end of his time
at the head of the nation. While
his influence may still be felt for
some time, we may confidently look
for a general reaction to all the
efforts in purifying national politics,
and we will see such an era of I'M
bridled grating everywhere as has
not been known since the carpet bag
ging days following the Civil War.
Not very optimistic picture to
be sure, but it is worth thinking
over bit.

The PuriiuinQ Process.

Sam Jones declares that the coun-
try Is now witnessing the early
stages of a movement which will 90
far toward puri flying our political
and business life; that public senti.
ment is now making for honesty and
decency and morality, and that II
will be victorious.
Mr.. Jones won his noto riety as a
vociferous purveyor Of coarse wit
and he has never been regarded az a
top-notch seer, but for once he has
made a statement that contains more
truth than balderdash.
Few persons will deny that all
about US are signs of the movem cnt
to which the evangelist points. We
have seen recently many exposures
of graft in public office, but they
do not argue so strongly for the in.
crease of evil as they do for bet
ter public conscience. Graft has
existed for years, but a higher
moral sense among men of authority
is just now engaged in smashing it.
Corruption in great corporations
Is not recent development; the ex-
ploitation of the blemish is a con-
sequence Of an aroused public opln-
ion that Lusies itself in ending it.
The awakening of the people, the
demand they are sounding for a
more decent administration of pub
lie trusts and lawful operation of
private concerns, the higher valua-
tion they are setting upon conscience
are the preliminary symptoms of a
great uplift in the affairs of nations
aud individuals. When the masses
and certain of their representatives
show themselves earnest and vipi-
liant they can force from public ser
wants and from business enterprises
clean discharge of duty and 4
ready Difference for the peoples
rights. When this stage is reached,
surely times may be said to be more
moral and more wholesome than
ever before, and this is the stage
the present agitation, if it continues.
will lead to.-Courier-Jo Journal.
The honor of inaugurating the
reform movement should be given

Mr.. LdWSOn'S Plan.

Thomas w. Lawson is appealing
to all policy holders in the three
great life insurance companies of
New York city to rally around him
while he makes war on "system. "
One of his great aims, as he sets i,
forth, is: "The reduction of future
premium payments to 40 cents on
the dollar of what you now pay"
Ii Is TO be hoped that no policy
holder will so much as send his name
Professionally to Mr.. Lawson before
he looks into this question of the
$40 cents on the dollar" The in
formation he needs is available in
any book or encyclopedia article on
life insurance.
The policy holder will learn that
life insurance is not charity or a
gamble, but business based on
mathematics and cold statistics.
lie will learn that mortality tables
are In existence which show the
probabilities of death Of men at
each age, based on actual experience
gathered in the insurance business
He will learn that the met premi-
um" that must be paid for insurance
Is calculated directly from these
tables; that this "net premium" is
the amount that must be paid on the
average to meet death claims, en-.
tirely without regard to expenses of
conducting the business and that if
these net premiums are not savsd up
penny for penny for exclusive use
in paying death losses the company
is bound straight for bankruptcy.
He will learn that to cover expen-
ses of the business these "net pre-
miums" arc "loaded" by adding a
percentage of their amount. The
net premium, plus the load, gives
the gross premium which he pays
for this policy.
Finally he will learn that the load.
ing rarely, if ever, exceed 40 per
cent, even if the classes of policies
that must pay the highest rate. The
New international Encyclopedia
says in summing up the pertinent
facts: "Of the gross premiums,
therefore, from l6 2.3 to 80 per
cent in loading"
Now if the current premium rates
In this country are loaded only to
the extent 30 per cent, 30 that on
the average at least 20 per cent of
the premium money must be set
aside to meet losses, how can any
man honestly propose a scheme
which will reduce premiums to 40
per cent of their present size? Is
not such proposal deliberate bid
tor bankruptcy?
Whatever opinion people may
hold of Dir. Lawson in his role of a
"voice crying in the wilderness, 4"
they should judge him in this case
on a basis of incontestable figures
and act accordingly.-Chicago Re-
cord Herald.

Funeral of a Striker.

Chicago, May 15.-Marching with
draped banners and muffled drums
more than 1000 union men followed
the remains of strike victim George S.
Pierce from his late home to the un-
ion station here yesterday.
No funeral services were held here,
but the escorting of the body to the
station was made the occasion of a la
Dor demonstration in which not only
the teamsters' union, but organized la
Dor generally, participated. The prog
ress of the cortege was without Incl
dent. The men marched solemnly four
abreast. Each wore upon his coat
lapel a white button with the inscrip-
ton in black:
I'VE mourn the loss of murdered
brother"
Pierce was an employe of Rothschild
& Co., as driver of a delivery wagon.
He was shot by Special Deputy Sheriff
F. I. Waldorf. He is the only union
man who has lost his life during the
strike and is regarded by other men as
martyr to the cause. Pierce is said
to have assaulted non-uniOn driver

was eXonerated by coroners jury.

youno Man Commits Suicide.

Denver, May ia Republican spe-

cause he loved in vain, Roy Arnold, a
ranch hand who for several months
had been employed in the Ralston
creek neighborhood, about seven miles
northeast of Golden, committed sui
eide to-day by swallowing carbolic
acid in front of the house where the
girl he loved lived.
Arnold was desperately in love with
Miss Bessie Hansen, pretty young
girl who lives with her parents near
Ralston crossing. Last night he went
to see her and on her refusal to accept
him he left the house in Respondent
frame of mind. This morning he pro-
cured a bottle of carbolic acid and pro-
ceeding to the Hansen home again, sat
down by the roadside and swallowed
the poison
A passerby found him in an uncon-
scious condition and notified Coroner
Davidson, who, with a physician, went
to the scene, finding Arnold still alive.
He was removed to the hospital at the
county poor farm, but although every
effort was made to save his life he did
not regain consciousness, dying at 6:45
this evening.
