The Inner Environment.

the past week used striking and suggestive phrase
It was 90 the inner environment He said: 'There

It is true that environment is the battle-cry Of
the age. Modern education and social reforms are
largely based upon this principle. We told that

Railroads and Poetry.

Professor Walter D. Scott, of Northwestern uni
versity that riding the rail is conducive
to writing poetry It in the of the late John
G. SAKE who wrote his famous verses "Riding on the
Rail- not while acting as the receiving end Of a
charvari but when speeding across New England at
eighteen miles hour, the maximum speed attained
by the locomotive in his day. Riding again SAKE was
thrown in collision and broke his leg. To friend
who visited him and faeetiously remarked Chow do
you like riding the rail now9'' the poet-humorist
quickly retorted FfBetter than riding off. - - &c.,,
SAKE never claimed that any Of his marvellous
fecundity in rhyming due to railroad excursions
but he may have been unconscously Influenced by the
exercise Professor Scott says the mind is compelled to
break the steady clicks Of the wheels the rails into
into mercal feet It is evident from this explanation
that man who goes out Oh trains to work up poetic
streak must take some care what sort Of road he
those limited trains To get inspiration for another
Evangeliue the poet must take to the far west where
the easy moving family train makes its habitat.
Possibly Professor Scott is entitled to the credit for
first explaining the phenomenon of the influence Of the
click Of the Wheel but sure that the effect has
been felt by many men who did not know why it was
that whenever they rode train they had almost
uncomfortable desire to hit it off in Doubtless
this is the explanation Of the famous couplet well
known in railroad circles, but which has not yet won
recognition in public literature. 49,. '}~>I<~~&

r. There is the click of The wheels the rails and
there is the poetic mind of Fnnegan responding to its
influence We almost believe Professor Scott is right.

The Insurance Agents.

A correspondent asks III j our n a | to say
word for the insurance agent, which it gladly does.
The soliciting agent Of the insurance company

come is cold. He has snap. Some in the in
business has written pamphlet entitled 'The
Thirteth Man., to show that this is about the pro-
portion Of solicited who take insurance. The
average agent about five day. This
means that he insures about one week. The
average premium is not high enough to make him rich
this basis. Besides the agent is obliged to take
who pays cash with his application is the rare ex-
cepton On the other hand the agent settles in cash
with his company at the end Of thirty days. This
that he must have credit at some bank,
which will discount his notes and enable him to pay
the company and live. ..-
The work of the insurance solicitor is hard and it
ends His anxieties about his prospects
carried from day to day and week to week,
til his life becomes a singular nightmare of hope
deferred
The soliciting insurance agent has much reason
be indignant the disclosures of rottenness in
the New York companies anybody else.s It hurts
him financially and it hurts him personally. He has
not known that Mccall and McCurdy knaves
FOOLS and he has been crediting their literature
and making it the basis of his arguments. On the
fundamental proposition of life Insurance. he knows
that his company is sound, and he knows also that
the returns to policyholders, by conscientious
agement at the home office, might have been such
to greatly tighten his work. Therefore to look
upon the soliciting agent as being much the victim
of the system the public If life insurance is
in principle the work Of the agent is praiseworthy
above that of many other vocations. Don It step
the agent because Of your indignation at the misuse
Of great idea. ~.--

"OH Year" Politics.

Four Off year campaigns Of unusual interest will be
finished on Tuesday. In Massachusetts the republl-
cans and democrats oontending fercely over the
reciprocity issue. In Ohio the administration of Gov
ernor Herrick is under hot fire. In Pennsylvania,
where state treasurer is to be elected the campaign
turns on the graft issue has been made warm for
the republican candidate by the revelations of the
Enterprise bank failure In Maryland Senator Cor

of the Poe amendment to the state constitution which
would only stop negro voting but would cut out
many whites in the cities whose leanings toward

the republican fight against Gorman but the issue is
not entirely partisan Senator Rayner is opposing his
coeagu g plans because they inimical to his
own political future as they to the men of the
opposite party.
Besides these state campaigns there are two munlc-
ipal campaigns which hold the interest Of the entire
country. New York is having her customary three
cornered fight for the mayoray with Tammany on top,
but fighting fercely for the spoils In Philadelphia
Mayor Weaver leading the reform republicans, organ
lied city party which promises to carry all before it,
sweeping the looting gang finally out of power
The interesting feature Of all these campaigns IS
the independence Of the people. Party names are
cutting less figure and character assuming more normal
proportions than ever before in American politics.
If this years voting be taken model for that

money twin evils in American politics, will be para
