plish something of perzaenent benefit to the
laboring classes.
To the observaut it is very clear that, in
modern times, it is not kings and standing
armies that rob the working classes. Kings
and standing armies are the instruments but
behind them is predatory wealth Predatory
wealth has seized the governments OF the earth
Not king, emperor or czar could support his
throne if predatory wealth did not furnish the
power and influence.
What is true of Europe is true OF America,
only the machinery is a little different, but 1t
will do the work. Owing to the stupidity OF
the voters, the machinery is less complicated
in America, and runs with less OIL than in the
old countries. What can be more simple than
injunctions, militia, bullpens and deportation!
Why, it Is as easy as falling off a log
As matters now stand, nine-tenths OF the
federal Judges are in sympathy with the pred
atory wealthy. Five.ninths of the judges OF
the supreme court of the Unltea States have
repeatedly been for wvsaIh as against the man.
1t will take quart er of a century to change
what could have beer prevented If the voters
had acted intelGgentlv.

A GOOD HIT.

That is pretty good hit of Tom McNeal's
in his assertion that if Kansas man died and
went to Heaven, he would want to come back
to Kansas. The reason why Kansas man
prefers Kansas to any other place is because
Kansa, people believe in men and women.
Kansas people are spirited, for most of them
could pedigree back to the Plymouth faith ers or
Revolutionary stock, and they who cannot go
SO far back come in on the new breeds of we'll
bred crosses. Kansas people like money we'll
enough to 60 after it with all their might, but
there are other things they like better than
money. They like square dealing. They like
school houses every hilltop and no saloon
in the valley. There are some things they
nate. They hate thieves, all the way from the
chicken thief up TO the oil thief. They hate
drunkenness and impurity Kansas people
may divide on party lines when it comes to
iuauce and tariff, but when it comes to the
great underlying principle of a free and en-
lightened population Kansas people are as one
man, from her cities down to her ham(ets and
farms

NUMBER 81.

Jerry Simpson or w: A. PETER. 1t can hardly
be said that Simpson and PETER are eminent
men, but both have had volumes written and
spoken about them-the one for wearing no
socks, and the other for having long whiskers.
Osler comes to the front because he thinks a
man is no good after he is sixty years old, and,
at that age should be given his flying papers
to another world.
After reading lot of stuff in the newspa-
pers, am inclined to believe there is some
thing in Osler's proposition, which, if applied,
would wipe out about half of the United States
senate and lot of the federal judges, and
would scoop lot of old soldiers. 1t would be
great saving to the cause of good govern
ment if the country was rid of some of her
senators and judges. And the rule, if applied
to women, would cut down the pension roll so
as to give us more money to build war vessels.
The latter view may have inspired Osler's sug-
gestion; and back behind Oser may be the
people who want more money for ships and
less money for pensions. The real motive for
these outbreaks is hard to account for.
Pefer's whiskers were not the only whiskers,
and thousands of men have gone without socks.
To have read the papers few years ago, not
knowing any better, one would have been led
to the conclusion that Jerry was the only man
whose feet had been without sock covering at
any time in the history of man, and that PETER
had the only whiskers of any man since man
crept out of monkey skin:
Another conclusion is that the papers are
entitled to some notoriety.
Now, Osler did not originate this theory. He
borrowed it, just as newspapers borrowed their
PETER and Simpson wit Cd. Some thirty-odd
years ago. tribe of Esquimax practised Osler's
tbeory-only the Esquimaux did not set the
age, and when food was plentiful, the rule was
suspended. The Esquimaux reasoned that
when food was too scarce to feed all, it was
better that the old and helpless die suddenly
than for all to die by the slow process of starv-
alton. You can always find good reason for
what an animal does, or men in a low state of
civilization, but you have to study for reasons
for what is done or said by men in high state
of civilization. Jerry's sockless feet, Pefer's
whiskers and Osler's chlorotorm at sixty will
go laundering down the ages; but why they
should is beyond my comprehension.

WAR IN THE LABOR WORLD.

Judge Kohlsaat, q federal judge whose bench
is somewhere in Chicago o, vicinity, has issued
an injunction that just about covers the whole
thing iu employers and employees disputes
The Injunction was issued at the request of the
employers association, and forbids strikers
from not only interfering with the men who
take the strikers places, but goes so far as to
forbid strikers from going near the new men
If this temporary Injunction becomes perma-
nent, the labor unions have met their Waterloo
along the old lines. Under the operation of
the injnnction, Chicago will be Coloradoed in
fe W weeks. Militia, builpens and deportation
appear III. nacingly near. And the end rs dis
inemberment of labor organizations
: We have believed all along, and still believe,
that the strike, as method. is bound to be a
failure, and, in republic like ours, it ought
to be. If the labor union people had devoted
as much time and money to the ballot-box as
they have to organizations, on non partisan
basis, they might now be in position to accom-

WHEN Rev. Vernon J. Rose, who is now
chief of police OF Kansas City, frankly says
that he is not enforcing the laws against the
duction of the citys revenue, we have no fur
ther defense to make of his course. There is
no more justification in city's taking money
from the violators of the law to permit them to
pander to the vices of its citizens than there is
in an individual doing the same thing. In
other words, boodling in the interest of tax
payers is just as disreputable as boodling in
the inteiest.ot county attorneys bank ac-

JO McDILL'S MUSINGS.
RATS.

If there is anything in the theory of "the
survival of the fttest," rats are strictly in it.
Rats exist and thrive in all climates and under
all conditions. Rats are sailors and land "crt-
ters." Wherever man goes, there, also, goes
the rat. If the north pole should be discov-
cred, rats would arrive within fortnight after
man had pitched his tent.
Rats, like booGlers, are both filthy and de-
structive, and, like boodlers, will take the first
parlor if you will let them, for they are not
particular as habitatlon. Anywhere, from gar
ret to cellar, or tunnels, or sewers, are good
enough; and even rat would consent to live
in Rockefeller palace.
Rats have no notion of committing race sui
cide-more's the pity. l have known one rat
to mother fifteen young rats at one time, and
she would Lave raised the whole batch but for
dog and pitchfork.
Rats will desert sinking ship in time 10
land, while seamen are foolish enough to 60
down, and not come up.
From the standpoint of rats, the theory of
"the survival of the fttest" is, to say the least,
a little like "rats.'

THE man who will defend and justify the
methods by which John D. Rockefeller has ac-
cumulated his fortune, or the methods by
which Standard Oil has destroyed competition
in the oil business, might, at the same time, be
expected to apologize for horse stealing and
approve poIygamy and prostitution. He who
denies that Rockefeler's money is tainted has
no conception of moral values, and must be
cassed as degenerate. e.-Independence Times.

Life Insurance Costs Too Much.

In an article In the September Po-
litical Science Quarterly Allan II.
Willett makes a long and elaborate
study Of the actual cost Of life insur-
ance as compared with the premiums
really charged. Mr.. willett concludes
that "whether we reach our results
by an analysis Of the elements Of tho
Income Of insurance companies and the
relation Of each element 20 the pur-
pose to which II is Theoretically as
signed, or examine directly the gain
and loss account Of the insurance CON.
panies, tho same conclusion is forced
upon us, that tho premium rates are
unnecessarily high. The average or.
perienco Of twenty.four companies
shows a saving on mortality Of over
20 per cent, an excess Of interest earn
ings Of nearly or quite one per cent,
and a generous profit from lapsed and
surrendered policies, while the loading
is just sufficient TO cover the cost OF
carrying on the business The gain
and loss exhibit indicates that but for
the depreciation Of securities during
tho year 1908 the insurance operations
Of that year would have brought In TO

cy holders, or added to the surplus.
With no improvement in the methods
and practices Of the insurance eompa-
nies, a reduction Of 20 per cent or 25
per cent in premium rates is possible
for company managed with average
care and efficiency and is In every
way desirable.
"But 20 bring Insurance rates down
to the present eoast-level Is only half
enough. The cost itself ought 10 be
lowered. II is demonstrable that some
Of the practices OF insurance companies
tend 70 increase their mortality loss,
that higher net rate Of interest could
be seedred on their investments, and
that the cost Of administration Is Of
ten extrayagantly high. Improvement
Ia any Of these particulars would ma
terially lover the cost Of insurance,
and make possible further reduction
in premium rates, resulting In a wider
utilization Of insurance by people Of
small or moderate incomes.

FELL
TO HIS
DEATH
c. e. Royce a Young Man Of
WO0dburn Killed by Fall
ing Down a Cliff

The Albany Herald this morning
says;
On the train from the front last ev,
ening the body Of @. p. Royce Of
Woodburn, was brought down, and was
taken TO the undertaking establisht
mont Of Fortmiller Bros, whore It was
prepared for burial. The young man
met his death in tho mountains near
Breitenbush, about four miles from De.
troit, by falling over a precipice, while
guiding a party Of Eastern friends on
a hunting trip. Royce wes leading the
party, in an effort to reach their camp
near Berry at o'clock on Tuesday af-
ternoon, when the accident occurred. He
fell down the side Of cliff, and was
instantly killed.
The party consisted Of Frank w.
Hammond and two sons, Ray and How.
ard, aged II and l5, respectively, and
Mr.. Royce. They passed through this
city last Sunday on their way to the
mountains. They established their
camp near Berry, and Tuesday went
out hunting. After penetrating into
the mountains for couple of hours
the men suddenly realized that they
were lost, and none Of them having
compass, an effort was made by Royce
who had been in tho mountains before
TO lead the party back to their camp
They wandered around for some time,
when they suddenly found themselves
on the side Of a canyon with steep
sides and offering no opportunity to
cross, without making a wide detOur
Royce stood on the side Of the canyon
as Mr.. Hammond aud one Of his sons
turned back to make a detour, when
they heard Royce slip, and looking
back. they saw him falling down the
hillside, and going out Of sight down in.
to the canyon.
The party hastened up the canyon,
where they could get down into the
deep rift, and went to the scene Of the
accident as quickly as possible. Ariv-
ing there they found Royce lying on the
rocks with the back Of his head crushed
Life was extinct, the man having been
instantly killed after a fall Of fully 10
feet.
The body was placed on rock shelf
and Mr.. Hammond and the two sons
started to hnd their way out Of the
mountains. Late Tuesday evening they
reached Detroit, where they were given
care and rest, and early yesterday
morning 20 mon from that town start
ed out, under the guidance Of the Ham
mOnds, found the body aud brought IL
into town by II O'eloek, "a time TO take
the train for this city. Arrived here,
the body was prepared for burial and
