MI. Lawson of Boston.

Atlanta Constitution.
Without assuming to stand
sponsor for all he has said or all
he has done, we may be pardon
ed a passing reference to one
Thomas w. Lawson, of Boston.
It isn't every man who finds
his prophetic utterances verified
almost as soon as they have been
given voice. Lawson, however,
has had something very like that
experience.
He may have made us a little
weary with his rather prolix in
troductory remarks, but when
he did open up on the men in
control Of the great insurance
funds Of the country, he said a
few things. Agood many people
did not believe all he said could
be true; but when the people he
attacked responded only by
pouring walls of villifcation upon
his sunny locks, we became
suspicious. The charges were
Of a character calling for specific
denial or vigorous action, if
noticed at all.
The country at large is not in
terested in Mr.. LAwson's lack of
virtue or his alleged misdeeds; it
has, however, manifested very
considerable interest in the
charges he has made. And now
that the interesting spectacle is
presented Of high insurance
officials charging each other with
exactly those practices enumer.
ated by Mr.. LAwson-some OF
them legal, but others illegal,
and all Of q character to indicate
reckless disregard of the in
terests of the companies they re.
present, If nothing worse-the
strenuous Bostonian may be ex.
cused if he INDUCES in a little I.
told-you-soing.
It is evident Lawson knew the
details of some of the things he
was talking about; isn't it possible
there is more truth than poetry
in all he has had to say?
