WOULD KILL TO END PAIN.
Woman Proposes Law Lega1izing tho
Giving of Annesthetics.

oman proposes Law AeRalAZln& INC
Giving of Annesthetics.
Miss Anne S. Hall of Cincinnati
startled the convention of the Ameri-
can Humane Association in Philadelphia
by proposing the adoption of resolu-
ton favoring legalizing and administra-
ton of anaesthetics to persons dying in
agony. Miss Hall said that there were
often incidents in time of railway wrecks
when trainmen and passengers were so
badly injured that their lives could not
possibly be saved. In such cases Miss
Hall thought it ought to be permissi-
BILE to administer anaesthetics to relieve
their sufferings. She also favored the
use of anaesthetics when persons were
dying of incurable diseases in which they
suffered agony.
In the discussion one woman said that
she would not hesitate to shoot person
who might be dying in agony in rail
road wreck The resolution was ruled
out.

Frenzied Finance and Elections.

President McCalls Eberality with
other peoples money is no new trait
of frenzied finance. Over 100000 ap-
pears to have been used by the New
York Life Insurance Company to cor
rupt State legislatures besides $780,
900 subscribed for the purchase OF
votes by the Republican National
Committee. Restitution Of this latter
amount by the committee to the
widows and orphans Of the insured
appears as far off as before the scan
dial was discovered, though it is stat
ed Mr.. Cortelyou, the chairman, has
a balance Of 100000 in the hands
Of the treasurer, which could not be
used to advantage in the late cam
paign. The Democratic committee did
not have as much contributed alto
gether as the balance still held by the
Republicans The Republicans could
have elected a "yaller dog" with the
money they had to debauch the doubt
full States.

the plundering trusts and railroad cor

The Democrats have foretold that
conditions, such as prevail in Iowa
would be eventually prevalent every
where If protection to trusts and cor
poratinns is continued and now, in
spite OF good crops and fair prices for
farm products, the official record
proves their contention.

$4,000, 900 HELD coNFiscATED
Wisconsin Commissioner Denounces
Old Line Companies.


Old Line Companies.
In the advance sheets of his annual
report on life insurance companies doing
business in Wisconsin, Insurance Com
missioner Host makes the startling state
ment that ''the thrty-seyen old-line life
insurance companies transacting business
in the State in 1904 confscated about
S14 100000, which belonged to and
should have been returned to their pol
icy holders"
Wisconsin is one of the two States
of the Union that require life insurance
companies to attach 'gain and loss ex-
hibits to their annual reports.
The commissioner says that these ex-
hibits "show that the reserve released
on surrendered and lapsed policies dur
ing 1904 amounted to Sol, IA, 449.S5,
while the actual sum paid by these COM
panies to policy holders who lapsed and
surrendered their policies was only $751;
752, 1872 So"
The commissioner says that ''the load
ing or that portion of the premiums
used for expenses by these companies
in 1904 was $115, 789, 2S2.14, while the
actual expenses of the companies
amounted to $122, 904, 1860, or over
100000 more than that allowed for
expenses"
With the $14,OOO,0OO retained from
policy holders really entitled to it, sit
was an easy matter for these companies
to exceed their expense loading by over
81, 900 600" the commissioner declares.

JAPANESE AS PAINTERa
Framework of Their Designs Reject
the Fundamental Principles
Of True Art.

The Japanese, with their natural
unsophisticated view Of life, have ever
sought in their art to mirror what a
great painter and critic has termed
mems primordial predictions" Art,
however, writes w. NJ Cabot, Ia At
lantic, that seeks TO embody pleasures
founded on the unchanging properties
of human nature must have past al
we'll as future, must be ab4e to look
backwards as well as forwards Not
one life's labor, bat that OF many gem
erations Is required. No people have
better understood this than the
japanese. They have also clearly per-
ceived that no art that is not true %
the changeless element In man can en-
dure; while on the other hand any sub
ject, however trivial, can be made
eternally attractive, If only treated N
accordance with aesthetic law.
Japanese painting delights us by It's
delicate fancy, It's poetry. It's freedom
its spirit; bat what gives these quail
ties special and enduring charm, What
makes the play OF fancy never weari
some. the liberty never mere license
is that they find expression IN and
through a framework Of design 80 hne-
~ conceived that In 1t we see reject
ed as in a mirror the Fundamental
principles which govern all true art
