Representative Bourke Cochran said
yesterday in the house, while speaking
on the iniquities Of insurance.
Mr., Cochran, in q fervid speech, de-
rooted.''
He argued that life insurance COM
panies should be compelled to do bust
ness in only the states in which they
were chartered, and then only upon the
same conditions as savings banks. Re,
ferring to the salaries Of $4,000 and
100000 year paid to presidents or
insurance companies, Mr.. Cochran said:
"Where he has commanded this
culiar capacity to serve the policy
holders, but for peculiar skill and eff
cheney in swindling them. I always
fear and apprehend, a repetition Of
crime; but the distressing feature Of
this display is the avowal of criminal
ty by the criminals, without the con-
seriousness Of their own infamy. Nay,
they cheerfully mounted the witness
chair and confessed their crimes as
tho they were making professions Of
excellence.

trend of public opinion, is to sit down

a term-hold a very unmannerly opin-

Weak Kidneys

It is Of but little use to try to doctor the

is largely responsible for their condition II the

goes wrong, you know it by the inevitable re.

the kidneys but the heart and the liver and the

and every vital organ is their slave. The com.
