THE CONVICTION OF MITCHELL
AND BURTON

The conviction of Senators Burton
and Mitchell should prove an object
lesson to men high in public life, who
feel that their positions make them
immune accomplishment and, there
fore. commit crime with IMMUNITY.
Senator Mitchell, after yeaIa OF pub
lie service as senator from Oregon,
respected and held in high esteem by
his constituents, forfeited that re-
spect and esteem in his old age and
for the sake of few thousand dol
lars. defrauded the very government
whose interest he was sworn TO pro-
tect. His offence, if anything, was
worse than Burton's and his convic-
ton and sentence was most lust.
Not only did Justice demand his pun
ishment. but it was necessary III
order to demonstrate that the law oil
this land meteS out tOa man ms Just
deserts. no matter whether he he
| high or low, rich or poor. Of Sena-
tor Burton's case the same may he
said. After lengthy trial he has
been convicted of a criminal offence
and has received sentence. 1t Is sin
cerelv to be hoped that nomere tech
nicality will be the means OF freeing
either Mitchell or Burton. They
have been tried by iuries OF Their
countrymen, given the benefit OF
every reasonable doubt and found
guilty. Their counsel, as their duty
demands. will endeavor to see that
their clients escape punishment, bu'
in these cases, perhaps more than Ill
others. it is necessary forthe govern
ment to combat in every legitimate
way miscarriage OF Justice. Bot
of these two men are rightly in the
tolls.

LIFE INSURANCE

There will be no tears shed at the
news that the McCurdys have quit
the life insurance business. President
McCurdy, of the Mutual Life, gives rs
his reason for retiring that his health
will not permit his continuation III
harness. We are not surprised at
the condition of his health, nor at
his precipitate resignatiOn,and we In
fer that he must be suffering from
contagious or infectious disease and
that his son and son-in-law, by the
close association with the old man.
have broken out with the trouble,
for they too have resigned. Truth
to tell, it appears to us that nearly
all of the high officials of the big life
insurance companies are under the
weather at this time, and, further
more, what appears to be the mis-
fortune of these officials is good for
tune for the policyhOlders. These
latter must realize that if the vari-
GUS life insurance companies could
survive such mismanagement as
they have been subjected to, they
must indeed have been built upon
solid foundation, and when once all
the crooks are exposed and driven
TO the woods or dressed up in becom-
inc stripes. life insurance, from the
standpoint of the policyhOlder, will
be a better and safer investment
than it has ever been before.
Senator Armstrong, chairman OF
the Legislative Investigating Com
mittee, which haseXpOsed allthisrot-
tenness in connection with the man
agement OF life insurance companies,
says to the policyholders: do not
allow your policies to lapse on ac-
count of anything revealed by this
investigation. PolicyhOlders are III
a better position now than before
the investigation began and their
position ought steadily 20 improve
asour inquiry proceeds
"The legislation we will recon-
mend will undoubtedly safeguard
and strengthen the rights OF policy
holders, but those who suffer their
policies to lapse will lose the bene-
fit of what has been done already,
as well as what we hope to accom-
plish.
"No such sacrifice ought now to be
made by policyholders and patience
and courage for a short time yet will
not only prevent losses, but enable
the committee to render the best
service to the greatest number.
And this, under all the circum-
stances, appears to be sound advice.

Senator Foraker, who stands with
