every policy has to be approved

impossible to get a policy unless
all the rules and rates are follow

surance company charges the
same rates. It is then simply a
question of which is the best CON-

from us. If you burn down or
are damaged by fire you can have
your insurance for the asking.

The scandal in the government print Ing office has broken out afresh, as everyone who was on the inside knew It would, and it looks now as though the only thing left for the government is to make a thorough house cleaning of it and to get rid of the warning fac uons that are seriously hampering the work of the big bureau The scandal is only what might be expected from government servants long employed, who, like servants in private houses, get to think that they own the estab- llshment instead of remembering that they are paid to do the work. Public Printer Palmer and his two chief fore men, Ricketts and Hay, have long been covertly at swords points, and their animosity broke out over the contract that was recently let in the printery for lot of new type-setting machines. The commission which investigated the coltract managed to frame its report without advertising either of the rival firms. one or the other of which ex- pected to reap harvest from being upheld by the investigators. Both the public printer and his two foremeu were among the witnesses before the commission, and 1t developed at the time that there were cliques and op- posing factions in the office that mill tated against good work. The best way to handle such squabbles in Wash ington will be a little drastic and wholesome discipline that will make the government employe feel that he is drawing a salary for working and not for plotting with his fellow em- plOyes' either subordinates or supe- riorS

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER P, 1905

The board of consulting engineers of the Panama canal have had another meeting in Washington. After they get through here they will vary the monotony by taking a trip to Oyster Bay to call on the president and then they will probably run down to Pana- ma which has already been the vaca- tion ground of so much highly special ized engineering talent. What they will do in the matter of settling the fate of the canal is a question of the future. Their conclusion is by no means in sight and the work of actual digging will wait on them and on san- itary precautions for some time to come. There is of course no hurry as they are getting paid at the rate of S5,OO0 each and S15 day expenses.

Once upon time, during the dark ages, a king gave to one of his nobles the sole right to sell salt to all the people. This noble raised the price and robbed the people to the fullest possible limit, and many people died of scuryy and other diseases induced by the lack of the salt they were unable to buy. That was horrible, wasn't 1t !? asks an editor with socialistic tendencies. But are you blind to the fact that the laws of this country permit one man to furnish you with sugar, another with oil, another with steel, and others with other articles 1? Are they, too, not amassing fabulous sums at the expense of the people ? And because of these extortions do we not read in the daily papers that men, women and children in the cities are starving, and many are committing suicide and that in creasing thousands are going Insane, while millions more are sinking into the direst poverty and degradation, dehumanized Why was it awful in the olden days and not now Don't you see that it is because you have slowly grown up under these condi- tions, just as the people of that time

Quite a number of democratic mem bers of congress have been here lately and have discussed the future of the democratic party with me and others fin a very frank and open manner, says our Washington correspondent. A good many of them are of the opinion that if the democratic parry is to do anything in the next campaign it will lave to cut loose from the East as well as the West and ignore bofh sec tons when it comes to picking out the standard bearer of the party in that campaign. and take a man from the South This seems a rather start ling proposition when you look sT 1t first, and the old time-worn objection comes to your mind aneut the pre- judices of the late civil war. but when you take into consideration that that struggle ended fOrfT years ago and that the men who nov are running things in tf1is country are of another generation entirely. both North and South. it places another and plsasantar phase on the matter.

 It is stated that the Japanese intend to give their peace envoys warm well come. From the Japanese press com ments one might infer that the warmth would emanate from boiling oil.
 Mark Twain declares that the treaty of peace has put back the cause of re- form in Russia twenty years. Mark probably means that If the war had gone on there would have been fewer Russians to reform.

SHE KNITs DURING LECTURES.
Another Philadelphia Woman Does
 Fancy Work While Travelling.

The philosopher who recently said that the rushing methods of modern American life served to deplete the mind by giving 1t no time for quiet meditation might have found at least four instances right in the leisurely City of Brotherly Love of people who improve the shining hour' up to the limit.
 One of these, curionsly enough, is a sweet faced old Quaker lady, who at tends all the lectures at the Academy of Natural Science, and, like the guests at the old fashioned tea parties, al- ways brings her knitting" Her gray gOwned old figure is familiar sight at the lecture halls around the city, soft gray silk bag suspended from her arm completing her picturesque costume. Punctuality. or even unpunctuaiity. is her strong point. She always arrives half an hour before the lecture begins and spends the time in knitting or crocheting. One waits with nervous anxiety to see what the old lady does when the lights are rung down and the pictures thrown on the sheet: but even while the lecturer is rolling out his sonorous periods the click of the old lady's needles can be heard. It is a stirring incident, indeed, or a dazzling picture. which can take the industrious old Friends attention from her knit ting.
 Another golden Opportunlst" is very pretty young woman living in West Philadelphia, who always takes her fancy work with her when she goes on railroad trips. Innumerable centeTpieces and doilies have been ere ated while she was being carried across mountains and rivers and valleys at the rate of sixty odd miles an hour.

CAN'T READ OR WRITE.

Queer Predicnment of Omaha Man Who Recovered From Wound. f OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 12.--John Stokes of this city has lost the power to read or write because of bullet wound in his head, yet all his other mental facul- ties are unimpaired.
 Before the bullet plowed it's way through his brain Stokes was an in vetcrate reader and man of scholarly attainments, but on coming out of the hospital, apparently entirely cured of his wound, he called for newspaper and was shocked to discover that he could not read word of it. He de- clared that it was in foreign print despite the fact that 1t was in English, the language he had always read and written.
 He then called for pen, ink and pa per, intending to write a letter to his mother, but when he attempted to write the English characters he found he had not the ability to do so.
 T was bewlldered." said Stokes, flor I could not understand why could neither read nor write Nor can I un- derstand 1t any better now. In all other respects my mind is perfectly normal. I pick up books, magazines and newspapers in an effort to read them, but every character seems for eign to me, and when try to write do not know how to form the letters"
 Physicians are at loss to explain Stokes strange afiiction, save on the theory that a part of his brain was shot away. Over the hole made in Stokes forehead by the bullet is a five dollar gold piece, while over the place in the back of his head where the bullet came out is a silver ten cent piece.
 On subject relating to both the pres ent and the past Stokes talks intelli- gently, and his memory of events in which he bore a part is singularly clear The only inconvenience the wound has caused him is this inability to read and write

AGAINST PEACE AGREEMENT.
Mass Meeting at Osaka, Japan, Com demns Government


 Mass Meeting at Osaka, Japan, Con,
 demns Government.
 TOKYO, Sept. 12.-A mass meeting at Osaka passed the following resolu tion without hindrance on the part o1 the police:
 ''The peace that has just been con cluded between Russia and Japan for feits the fruits of victory and sows seeds of future complications and dan ger. The governments high handed and unconstitutional measure has re. suited in unexpected disturbance to the peace of the city in which the mikado resides. The empires honor has been soiled and the spirit of the constipation lost. Never has our country been brought to face greater dangers. There, fore be 1t
 Resolved, That we hope that the hu. initiating peace agreement will be bro ken and the government will resign" In accordance with established usages the cabinet ministers have pre- sented an official statement to the mi kado explaining the necessity of insti- tuting martial law at the capital and at the same time asking the imperial judgment as to whether they should remain in office or retire. The emper- OTIS reply advises them to retain their respective posts.
 The special session of the privy coun- cil lasted for four hours. No bill was presented, only a report from the cabi- net ministers, Premier Katsura mak- ing an extended statement of the peace negotiations. According to the consti- tuition, treaty with other powers re- quires to be submitted to the council before ratification. It is unusual to hold a special sitting for simply mak- ing report on diplomatic affairs be- fore treaty assumes form ready for ratification, and the sitting without special bill was rather unexpected.

The is a great deal of interest in Washington over the return of the Taft panty from their tour, inspection, junket or whatever 1t may be called through the Philippines. More interest than usual has been taken in this trip because of the expression of great in- terest that has been made by the mem- bers of the party in favor of closer trade relations with the islands. It is more than possible that after the members of the expedition get back and have a heart to heart talk with Uncle Joe Cannon that they will find their views on trade relations have been misunderstood in the United States. It is not likely that a region producing as much sugar and tobacco as the Philippines will be allowed to crawl under the flap of the tariff tent till the controllers of those industries in the United States have had a chance to try the ground and see how far the control of the sugar and toacco crops can be made profitable to them. Mean time of course it is not certain that We are going to keep the islands at all. Japan wants them and this is reason enough in the eyes of many people why we should get rid of them on Japan's terms. The mere fact that Japan has no money to pay for them does not enter into this particular discussion. It is probable that large part of this rellnquishment talk emanaTes from army officers who do not fancy a two years tour of duty in tropical attitudes.
