PR. Uriah Lamprey deposited
at the REGISTER of deeds office
yesterday quitclaim deed Civ

amounting to $4,000, and con-
sequently requiring $85 worth

for the sum of $4,000 eighty
acres of land on which St. Paul

The boundaries commence at
or about the corner of Third

The revolt against graft in this
country is under full head way and the
grafters both high and low are fleeing
from the wrath to come. In St. Louis
the gangsters were driven to earth by
the man who is now governor of the
state of Missouri elected by the votes
of men irrespective of their party
alignments. La Philadelphia the Ri NO
which has controlled and robbed the
city for years has been deposed by a
mayor who listened to the voice of the
people and did his duty.
Milwaukee is now in the thoes of an
criminal upheaval and many officials
and exofficials have been either con
victed of criminal grating or under
indictments with the house of correc-
ton or the penitentary staring them
in the face. The indications are, that
Chicago is politically rotten and the
people have been robbed of hundreds
of thousands of dollars by the men who
represent them in the common council.
These is an awakening of the public
conscience and it is to be hoped that it
will continne until only honest men
are elected to office.

WALTER Wellman, Washington cor

aid in his exposure Of the management
Of the Equitable Life insurance com
pany, has discovered to the people, es-
pecially those carrying life insurance,
how they have been robbed to pay ex-
hOritant salaries to The officers OF the
companies and produce large surplus
es to be used by officers for speccula-
tive purposes upon which to realize
immense profits. The expose has
demonstrated the necessity of state
supervision over all life insurance
companies and that i5 might be bet
ter for the state to create life insur-
ance department an issue policies to
its citizens and divide with them the
surplus and thus cheaper the cost to
the policy holder. 1t is only ques-
ton of time when such department
will be created and then life insurance
will cost considerable less than it does
at the present time and be within the
reach of poor men who would provide
for their families in case they are
taken away. 1t is becoming more ard
more evident that the nation and states
must protect the citiz rs from all i'm
