COMING INTO THEIR OWN.

with the election of Paul Morton to
the presidency Of the Equitable Lite AS
surance Society the railroads seem TO
have come fairly into their own. Near
Nv one-third of the conlpany's many
millions Of assets have been invested
in railroad securities, which made 1t or
the utmost Importance to railroad in
terests that railroad man take charge
of the company when the Hydes, Alex
anders, ct al, fell to quarreling.
1t is hoped that the scandal will
now come to an end. II Morton con-
ducts the company solely in the inter-
ests Of the policy holders he will best
protect the investments in railroad Sc
curities and both policy holders and
railroads will be benefited. Under
writing syndicates with their million
dollar commissions and the Equitable
holding the sack should he cut out.
Politically, since Mr.. Morton has so
suddenly accepted job that was not
looking for a man when he first decid-

to have been confined solely to the
writings Of a single correspondent for
Iowa newspapers.
