BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The STAR
NEW YORK. September 8.-says q re-
Elective Wall street broker:
The facts brought out In the legislative
inquiry touching the elections in mutual life
Insurance companies react more severely on
the policyholders than on the officers OF the
companies. but they are all in line with the
American way Of doing things. letting
well enough alone. Voters fall to exercise
their political privileges in caucus and pri-
mary and there IL always a large stay-at-
home vote at elections where there II no
stirring Issue to the fore. The life insur-
ance elections Is like corporation elections
Ia general. Stockholders are too Indifferent
to exercise their prerogatives individually
and usually send proxies when asked for
them. They do at least these things bet
ter in England whore corporation elections
are well attended ana are frequently ex-
citing occasions. 1t is my opinion that Il
Americans were moro alive to their duties
the governmental representatives and cor
poration directors would be less often re-
miss In doing theirs. and the demagogue In
politics and finance would tend to disappear.
I am disposed to put moro responsibility
for abuses on the shoulders OF the people,
who have q ready corrective or preventive
In the ballot, than on the men who are
placed in charge or obtain control OF public
and corporate affairs and are encouraged
to misuse their trusts by the Indifference
or laziness Of their constituents. The re-
markable thing to me Is that, In view OF
the slackness of celebrates. there should
be so little abuse OF power.
