Editors OF Telegram:
You nave voiced my sentiments ex-
actly in your remarks concerning the
opera house. !, like great many pat
rons of this antique play house, have
been sending in a kick on the side, hop
ing taat it would result favorably, but,
alas. it is getting worse, and we, tlc
poor public, continue paying metropoli-
tan prices AMI stretching our neeks in
looking over that tin pan musical in
strument called a piano. The scenery,
well you know you never get the real
istic conception Of a good play unless
the scenery is changed 10 conform with
the same, and in this opera house tne
scenery never Changes, and we, tae pat
rons. are always in clarIsburg. while
the play is going on, that Is to say. we
cannot make our imaeinations powerful
enough to offset the scenery and follow
the play as it should be.
As for the gang Of hoodlums who con-
.regate at the opera mouse entrance ami
insult women as they enter. this IS
disgrace, not only TO tine management Of
the opsra house, but 20 the city 1t Is
he duty OF the poles to lispersc this
rang. and they should do 50. I neces.
.ary. make s.w examples By arrestine

The Minneapolis journal., 1905-11-18
The Value Of a System.

So much for one side Of the question.
Now, let take up another.
The insurance company places at the
service of the policyholder not merely it's
warrant and it's credit, but it's ma
chine. This ''machine'' has been built
up in years; it is expert; it is scientific; 1t
delivers the goods. It loses no mans s
money thru investme that is ill-judged.
It jeopardizes the future Of no family by
well meant mistakes: It absolutely cares
for the money Of the policyholder, and in
such manner that the money Is greatly
increased. Such are it's resources, its
capital, it's reserve, that, If occasional
losses result, no one suffers-if some sur
plusage is squandered, no policy is imper-
lied. .
The day Of purity. absolute and undo
filed, may come in high finance. 1t has
not come in government, and Alexander
Hamilton declared that corruption in
government was inevitable. Be that as
it may the day Of improved conditions
is at hand. And I hope to show more
fully than today that, while corruption
and mismanagement in a very small
minority of life insurance companies are
deplorable and will be remedied, they
are after all only excrescences. which
do not touch the vital heart. The great
fact for the possible policyholder is
that the insurance companies succeed
that they know how to get for him what
they PROMISE He Is only incidentally
or cademically-and perhaps politically
concerned with their methods.
