To say that he had no desire for tho

being uncovered is concerned,
none has yet been found news
paper reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. If the investi-
cation has brought out anything
it is the spirit of graft that per-
vades American business and pol
itics aud which considers insur-
ance companies legitimate prey.
1t extends from the Mark Han
mas of politics downward to the.
states like South Dakota where
the commissioner Of insurance is
appointed wholly for his ability
to pass out the annual statements
to the faithful among the papers.
And these statements are but an
other graft to help the party, and
their cost as surely helps to dim
inish dividends as do extravagant
salaries. And through it all no
panic has yet been created among
the policy holders of the big com
panies for the simple reason that
the ones who are expressing hor-
ror at 'sthe revelation OF rotten
ness" do not carry policies in any
old line companies. They love
sensation and that is all. The
McCalls and McCurdys need not
resign until there is a spirit
among the people as whole
that all graft must be done away
with-not only your neighbors
but also your own.

presidents reform plans and
South Dakota's Junior senator
will do or say nothing that will
