in private hands. Economically,
they are a public function; they
are the arteries of the body social;
they should be in public hands. If
they were in public hands all the
stock jobbing in relation to them
would cease.
The tariff is an institution for the
taxation of the many for the benefit
of the few. That should cease!
With these two great forms of
privilege out of politics the two
great sources of corruption funds
would be destroyed and politics
would thereby be much purer.
The law in New York formerly
required that dividends should be
paid to policy holders every five
years. Mr.. Henry B. Hyde, father
of the Equitable Life, it is said,
had it changed so that the time of
payment was optional with the
companies, which seems to mean
that dividends never will be paid,
or, at any rate. not in this life.
The whole trouble arises in the
want of vigilance of the people at
large. Men will use power if they
can get it.
know of remarkable case of a
member of congress, who was per-
haps the largest individual stock
holder in an extensive steel rail
making company. This man was a
free trader and earnestly tried to
obtain amendments to tariff bill
so that steel rails should be put
upon the free list. He had a hard,
hot fight with the representatives
of the Pittsburg and other steel rail
making companies. In the end his
amendment was showed under
when it came to vote. This man
was astounded and mortified to
subsequently learn that his COM
pany had made a handsome con-
tribution to the republican cam
paign fund when Mckinley was the
candidate and was declaring that
the tariff question was the para
mount issue.
And so it is with all of these
great corporations of the country.
If they have advantages which
arise from legislation of any kind
and which they believe further leg
islation can enlarge or destroy, the
temptation is very strong to con-
tribute handsomely to the political
party which, retaining or obtaining
the aseendancy, will extend or pro-
tect those interests.
That is the law and the gospel of
money in elections, and until the
people realize it, scandal after scan
dial, like this developing in the case
of insurance companies, will be ex-
posed. Each succeeding scandal,
however, will become worse as the
, concentrating of wealth and power
goes on.

The implication would seem to be
that Mr.. Hamilton had to conduct

business at the state capital. Just
now Judge" Hamilton is travelling
in Europe. So, apparently, is Mr..
Cornelius N. Bliss, the fiat fryer"
of the republican national commit
tee.
If this whole business Is not rob-
berry, what is it?
1t Is robbery, of various kinds.
First, according to the evidence be-
fore the legislative committee, no
authorization was made by the d.
rectors generally for election con-
tributions. The policy holders of a
company which is supposed to be
mutual are supposed to have a say
in the shaping of the general man
agement of the company. They
have known nothing about this pro-
lection Of the integrity of assets"
In the next place. it is robbery
because its purpose is to rob the
people of the country of results at
the polls. To effect by money ends
which the people of the nation have
no idea of effecting is the greatest
crime that this astounding reveal
ton in high finance discloses.
And what's to be done about it?
Absolutely nothing is to be done
that is, permanently done-so
long as the great privileges pos
sessed by these men shall continue
in their hands to tempt them. Rail-
roads, for instance, should not be

SEATTLE, Oct. 5.-Dr. w. T. T
Patton, who, with r. c. Trengrove
both of Portland, Ore, recently
made the record three-hour descent
from the summit Of Mount Rainier
states that the two men were en-
abled to break the record solely
through their use of what has since
become known as the patton life
line knot"-a knot which, while 1t
will securely hold the suspended
weight of a human body, can be
shaken loose when desired, by a
simple motion of the hand.
By using this knot, Patton and
Tengrove, who had been alternate
ly frozen and scalded while shelter.
ing themselves from a terrific cleo
trio storm in a nook of the steam
ing crater all night, made the dan.
gerous descent between daybreak
and sunrise. In the half light they
leaped yawning crevasses and low
cred themselves over ice-covered
cliffs and CLASSY surfaced avalance
runaways-an undertaking which
had never before been risked until
after the rising of the sun and the
partial thawing of the snow and
ice.
Both Patton and Trengrove say it
was sheer terror of the storm-swept
mountain top and of the angrily
squirting jets of steam from the era
ter that drove them down the noun
tain side at daybreak, but both
have found themselves heroes in
the eyes of all the. mountain climb
ers of the west. The feat they &C
complished has been recorded in
the annals of the Mazama climbing
club. of which both were promptly
made members.

which Is simply three-turn twist
of the rope. with "half-hitch"
thrown over each end Of the twist.

the use of the lifeline was required.
DR.. Patton would first lower his
companion. then passing the rope
around jutting rock of sufficient
firmness at the top of the cliff,
would tie the Patton" knot. and.
holding the rope taut. would swing
himself over the bluff, and slide
down to terra firm. Then he would

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Mr. George
w. Perkins, chairman of the finance
committee Of the New York Life
Insurance company, testified under
oath before the legislative insur-
ance investigation commission that
his committee authorized the pay
ment of S4S,7 so to the republican
national committee in the recent
campaign, when Theodore Roose-
welt was elected president. Mr..
Perkins went on to say that in the
two presidential campaigns in
which William Mckinley was elect
ed to the presidency the New York
Life contributed 100000 to the re-
publican campaign fund.
When question was raised why
the money was paid, Perkins said:
"The funds were made up in the
first instance and in Che Mckinley
campaigns because we believed
that the integrity of our assets was
being protected; we believed 1t was
absolutely legitimate thing to do
to protect the property of these
hundreds of thousands of people
everywhere. And in the second
campaign we believed the same
thing. and when we saw that st.
Louis platform (RooseveIt-B Bryan
campaign) we believed it more than
ever and we met it as we meet any
other expense for the preservation
and protection of our property"
The property possessed by the
great insurance companies, as
shown in these Investigations, Is
largely in railroad stocks and
bonds, in banking concerns and In
the so-called industrials, otherwise
known to the world as the great
manufa ctuIfhg trusts.
The property, in other words, is
ownership in forms of monopoly,
form of privilege, and it was to pro-
tect these things, which are mimi
cal to the interests of the people
at large, that the New York Life
insurance company contributed
$4,000 in each of three successive
presidential campaigns.
The $4,000 must be branded as
corruption money. and goes along
with the kind of money used by
the great mobiles to buy election to
the consulships and other great
offices in Rome when that govern
ment had become politically rotten.
Mr.. Perkins could not give any
information about what other in
surance companies did in respect to
campaign funds. But we may be
morally certain that they did their
share.
What an enormous figure the
grand total must have been! What
chance had honest voters against
that mountain of cleaning gold?
How was this money spent? That
