Italian Cutler, who lives some
u,hore hack east. is responsible for the
following bit of rhythmic sentiment,
,,hicb was scissored from the columns
81 Our Dumb Animals, published by
George T. Angel, of Boston. 1t is
something that will be appreciated by
many neople. Those who do not ap-
nreciate it have no part or parcel in
The good things of life, nor will they
In the life beyond, nor can they defend
themselves from any such statement
as is herein made, for the man who
does not like dogs, children and
flowers is not of the earth, earthly,
or of heaven heavenly. Draw your
own differences. The poem is entitled
Roger and l." title similar to an
other dog poem of our childhood days.
Here it Isl
Well, Roger, my dear old doggie, they
say that your race is run;
And our jolly tramps together up and
down the world are done;
You're only dog, old fellow; dog.
and you've had your day;
But never a friend of all my friends
has been truer than you Away.
We've had glorious times together in
the fields and pastures fair;
In storm and sunny weather we have
romped without a care
And however men have treated me,
though foul or fair their deal
However many the friends that failed,
I've found you true as Steel
That's right, my dear old fellow, look
up with your knowing eye,
And lick my hand with your loving
tongue that never has told lie;
And don't be afraid, old doggie, if
your time has come to go,
For somewhere out in the great I'm
known there's place for you,
| know.
Then don't you worry, old comrade;
and don't you fear to die;
For out in that fairer country / will
find you by and by;
And I'll stand by you, old fellow, and
our love will surely win,
For never heaven shall harbor me,
where they won't let Roger in.
When | reach that city glorious, be-
hind the waiting dark,
Just come and stand outside the gate,
and wag your tail and bark
III hear your voice, and I'll know II,
and I'll come to the gate and
say:
Saint Peter that is my dog out there,
you must let him come this
way"
AND then if the saint refuses, I'll go
to the One above,
AND say; "Old Roger is at the gate,
with his heart brim full of love;
ana mere isn't shining angel of all
-, the heavenly band
VINO ever lived a nobler life than he,
in the Earthly land"
lheh | know the gate will open, and
you will come frisking in,
ana Wen roam fair fields together, in
mat country free from sin.
% never you mind, old Roger, il your
Time has come to go;
iou We been true to me, I'll be true to
you-and the Lord is good, we
know.
lou are only dog, old fellow; a dog,

well I'm getting there myself, old
boy, and I haven't lonp RI ctav.

TRUTHS.

When Prof Kerr claimed that an
tagonism to his being employed an
other year as president of the Agricul-
tural College faculty at Logan came
from the state university he took
overmuch honor to himself. The uni
versity people do not care rap
whether he is retained at the college
or not, as long as he does not get
swing in the university.
The people of Park City are anxious
for an evening train service from Salt
Lake. They are so displeased with
the knocking policy of the morning
papers that they would be extremely
grateful for a service that would give
them an evening paper with the news
of the world and would relieve them
from the slush with which the morn
ing dailies are seeking to injure the
state.
The knockers organs think it was
in bad taste for Senator Smoot to
speak in behalf of Utah as he did at
Los Angeles. Perhaps they think 1t
good taste for them continually to ma
lign this state, but all decent people
here disagree with them.
If Logan people will just retain Mr..
Kerr at the head of the Agricultural
College couple of years, there will
be no college-university squabble of
serious dimensions. The people will
be glad to sweep the college clear out
of Cache valley in order to rid them
selves of Prof. Kerr and his methods

Asbury Park still prohibition,

The special election in Asbury Park
on Friday decided by the narrow mar
gin of eight votes to remain no license.
Over 800 votes were cast in the two
wards, 364 votes in the First Ward and
448 in the Second. Several defective
ballots were rejected. The result
showed that the First Ward voted
wet " by II majority, but the Second
Ward. which includes all of North As
bury Park, declared for the dry T"
ticket by 20 majority. This gave the
prohibitionists majority of eight in
the city.
The women taxpayers played a lively
part in the battle of ballots. The re-
turns show that forty-four women
voted in the First Ward and one hun
dred in the Second Wafd
In the First Ward, which includes
the business section OF the city, nei-
ther faction made any organized effort
to get out the vote. A band Of tenn
perance women, led by Mrs. John H..
Parker, fingered in the vicinity of the
polling place all day, distributing tenn
perance literature and importuning
voters to vote a "dry" ticket. AT
this poll there were only $50 ballots
cast up to the noon recess, while 23o
were recorded by the Second Ward poll
clerks.
Nearly one hundred women, proper
ty owners, voted in the. Second Ward.
The first TO appear at the voting place
was Mrs. Pennington M. Day, of Nor
ristown. Drawing folded ballot from
her Boston bag she handed 1t to Judge
Bath, who deposited it in the ballot
box Thank you, gentlemen" Mrs.
Day remarked to the members of the
board as she Withdrew. IJ was notice
able that in nearly every instance the
women voters had prepared their bal
lots at home.

There was an informal wedding at
the South Street Presbyterian Church
last Sunday evening. After the SER
vice bald headed son of Italy about
forty years of age, wearing blue fan
mel shirt open at the neck, carrying
his coat under his arm and accom-
panied by a woman in the twenties,
both travel stained and weary walked
into the church and asked to be mar
ried. The man said they lived near
Mt. Freedom, where he worked on a
farm. They started for Mt. Freedom,
but the boys threw apples at them
and they changed their course to Nor
ristown. Dr. Riggs was appealed to
and after a close questioning decided
to marry the couple and I'll. b. Hoff-
man and f. w. Mulford were secured
as witnesses. The man gave his name
as Antonio Tefferey and the woman,
Margaret Cahill. They promised to
come back next Sunday after the GER

muller, the Austro-H Hungarian Ambas-
sador; Senator Dryden, Charles H.
Keep, Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury, and Robert Bridges, of New
York. While no announcement was
made of the conclusions of the con-
ference, If any were reached, there is
authority for the statement that Pres
ident Roosevelt will disucss the ques-
ton of insurance in his forthcoming
message to Congress in the light of
the developments of the last six
months That he will recommend the
enactment of legislation providing for
federal supervision of insurance there
| is no doubt.
After the conference Senator Dry
den talked frankly.
"We discussed the whole subject of
federal supervision of the insurance
business he said, "and our talk was
very satisfactory. Personally, l am
heartily in favor of such supervision
| by the national government, because
| it would insure to companies doing
| business in several or in many States
a well defined and well considered set
of regulations and definite policy. l
introduced in the Senate at the last
session measure providing for super
visory control of interstate insurance
by the Bureau of Corporations. did
SO because | wanted to call out sug-
gestions and to sound public opinion
on the subject. l had the bill refer
red to the judiciary committee in or
der that it might be passed upon in
its incipiency by the ablest lawyers in
the Senate. / expect to reintroduce
the measure early in the next Con-
gress, perhaps in a slightly different
form. The principle of the new meas
ure, however, will be the same as that
of the first bill.
| My opinion is that a very large ma
jority of insurance companies will
favor national supervision. Under ex-
| isting arrangements we are obliged to
conform to different laws and regula-
tions in practically every State. The
laws and regulations are being chang
ed continually, and different insurance
departments place different interpre-
tations on the same laws. What in
surance companies want is uniform,
harmonious and continuing policy, and
that, we believe, is to be had only
through national supervision.
"The only question that is worrying
us is an old decision of the United
States Supreme Court, rendered in
1868, in the case of Paul agt Virginia.
BY that decision the Supreme Court
held that the insurance business was
not interstate commerce and could
not be controlled as such. In later de-
cisions, however, notably the lottery
cases, the Supreme Court has recog-
nized the broader scope Of federal law,
and If Congress passes a bill placing
the business under the supervision Of
the Department Of Commerce and La
Dor believe that the highest tribunal
in the land will declare it constitution
al. / believe, as think great many
other insurance men do, that our bus
mess would be conducted much more
smoothly If we had single law to
operate under than is at present the
case, where we have perhaps fifty or
more. If the government were to take

The McEwan Bros. have contracted
for the purchase OF the Stony Brook
pulp board plant destroyed by fire
about year ago, from the United Box
Board and Paper Co 1t planned on
the passing Of title to erect Oh the site
two single machine pulp board mills
OF large capacity similar to the two
plants at Malapardis.
The McEwan Bros. seem to have the
faculty Of keeping their mills running
and finding sale for their product
while the trust mills stand idle. The
new mills will largely increase their
out put, give employment to number
of additional workmen and greatly in
crease the tonnage on the Morristown
g Erie Railroad.
1t will be remembered that the prop
erty just purchased is the old Eden
Mills property which few years ago
was purchased by the Stony Brook
Company, the large two machine mill
erected and later sold to the trust.

The President, for considerable
time, but especially since the disclos-
ures of the last few months regarding
the operations of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, has manifested
great interest in the problem of ma
tional control of insurance. In his
message to Congress last December
he said:
The business Of insurance vitality
affects the great mass Of the people of
the United States, and is national, not
local, in it's application. 1t involves a
multitude of transactions among the
people of the different States and be-
tween American companies and for
eign governments. I urge that the
Congress carefully consider whether
the power of the Bureau of Corpora
tions cannot constitutionally be ex-
tended to cover interstate transactions
in insurance.

TRIED TO SELL RINGS.
Suspicious Arrested IN Madi-
son Disposlng Of Jewelry.

Suspicious CharacterArrested in Madi-
son Disposlng of Jeweiry.
A man about thirty years of age,
carrying his head to one side as sthough
suffering from physical deformity, has
been in Madison about a week, trying
to sell some handsome rings at a price
SO as to cause suspicion. Officer Ryan
started to take him to headquarters
Saturday, where he could question
him, when the stranger started to es-
cape, and by lodging between wagons
eluded the officer for a time.
He was finally taken, and then he
made several attempts to stab the
officer. Thr officer succeeded in get
ting him in one of the steel cages,
where he refused to answer any ques-
tions.
The man had an envelope upon
which was written: Claire Crowen,
NY; Mary McLaine, 141 East Thirty
second Street, New York city; Nellie
Hallorn, 1910 Sixth avenue, NewY ork,
IN W He also had return ticket
from Summit to Hoboken. He had a
bag of jewelry, which he threw away
when captured. The bag contained
the following pieces : six pearl rings,
several opal rings, a necklace of fifty
pearls, which local jeweler says is
very valuable; gold hunting case
watch, gold compass, in case locket
with initials, A. Z. s., and necklace
of coins, besides numerous other pieces.
On being taken before Recorder
Cook, he gave the name Of John Bald
win, Allegheny City, Pa, but would
say nothing further. He was taken to
the county jail.
On Sunday it was learned that the
jewels had been stolen from Summit.
Baldwin had what was apparently a
hemorrhage Of the ear at the jail and
claimed that he had been injured in
the head.

we would have one general law to
operate under III all parts of tho I'm
ion, and after the Supreme Court has
passed on it we would know just
where we stood and where we are to
stand for all time to come"
Mr.. Beck expressed practically the
same sentiments as Senator Dryden.
He feared that the Virginia decision
might prove a serious obstacle to ma
tional control, but hoped that the Su-
preme Court would see its way clear
to sustain the Dryden bill or some
similar measure if enacted into law.
"The Supreme Court" said Mr..
Beck, has never been called upon TO
decide the constitutionality of law
of Congress bearing on this subject.
All the decisions rendered thus far
have been on State laws which at
tempted to regulate the insurance bus
mess. A number OF foreign countries
have already taken UP the question Of
life insurance regulation. Germany
has taken the control Of the business
away from the States of the empire

lowed in Australia under the latest

ance men in this country, and feel

forts to see it successfully carried
out"
