The Independent supported fusion
With Bryan democrats in 1896 and
1900, and in the state campaigns. 1t
had ample justification for such a
course then, but it has none now, be-
cause the democratic party is now cir
|revocably" committed to Parkerism for
four years at least Fusion with Roose
welt republicans would be much more
logical today.
But there are sincere populists who
live in the past Fusion is a fixed
habit with them-they dread the at
tempt to break it.
II The Independent were to follow
Mr.. Travis advice, these men would
be denied hearing in it's columns.
Would that be carrying out the idea
of freedom of speech and discussion?
Mr. Travis must know it would not.
There is only one thing that prevents
every reader of The Independent from
having hearing-and that is lack of
space. The letters come so fast that it
is not possible to print even the very
best. Quite otter a rather inferior

ink, or hard pencil, on soft, spongy pa

There lies the great value of Liquo-

Populist Campaign Debt.

Seven hundred dollars would now
wipe off the national committees slate
More than one-third of the work has
been performed which The Independent
set out to do. There should be no lag
ging now until every dollar of the debt
is paid. 1t can be done in the course
of few weeks.
1t is encouraging to see how widely
scattered the current contributors are.
Messrs Whitmore, Campbell and MANI,
of Rochester, n Y, are old guard pop
ulists who have kept the faith, 10, these
many years. Mr.. LattOn, OF Chicago,
Is head of a large firm of decorators
and clings to populism as the nations
hope-even in Chicago, thai city Of So
cialism. Mr.. Humphrey of Moscow,
Idaho, is another of til, faithful, not
withstanding the body blow Henry
Heitfeld gave populism when he de-
serted. He remarks that there must
be several thousand populists fully as
able to subscribe $500 as | am" and,
no doubt, he is correct.
Messrs. Adair, Edwards and Edwards
of Caldwell county, Mo-, have been
earnest workers for years. They were
very early in The Old Guard Of Popu-
ism and did much to make it a sue
cess
Mr.. Moore, of Hawley. Mimi, is a
staunch believer il reform all along
the line. He styles himself "The Spell
ing Reformer," and insists in spelling"
"askt' that way even if the "buks"
"shuld" say it is "rong." Curiously
enough, however, he doesn't "spel'' his
own name Nor" Mr.. Moore objects
De France in The Independent of Dec.
Is, that populists who cannot afford to
give a dollar should not be asked to-
give anything. He believes otherwise
and backs up his belief by collecting
dimes from his neighbors to help pay
off the debt. theoretically, Mr.. Moore
is right-but there are not many pop
ulists who would push the work as
theoretically as he does.
Of course, we must not forget that
Bennett Travis, of Franklin, Neb. also
believes in seeing his neighbors and
soliciting their aid. Mr. Travis is one
of the hardest workers for populism in
the state. He chides The Independent
for allowing democrats or demo-pops |
hearing in it's columns. In this, The |
Independent thinks Mr.. Travis errs.
The paper should not be monopolized |
by those populists who believe in |
breaking up their own party to help a
vacillating democracy-but such men |
should not be denied hearing. All |
sorts of men, with widelJ varying ideas
as to what is best to be done to bring
about reform in money, land and trans
portation, make up the peoples party. |
The Independent believes straight |
party action will in the long run ac-
complish most. 1t is not believed that |
when Mr.. Bryan was the candidate of |
a rejuvenated democracy, which held |
out hope of accomplishing in short or
der part that populists want. But
Mr.. Bryan failed to hold the fort. His
political enemies re-captured it. And.
simply because their uniform was
branded democracy" the same as his.
he helped them to inf1ict all possible
injury upon the staunchest friends he
ever had-the populists.

Grooves in Indian Arrows.
From the Southern Workman.

FROM the southern workman.
In making the Indian arrow three small
undulating grooves are cut on the shaft,
running down to the head from the lower
end of the feathers. This has attracted the
attention of some of the ethnoogists, who
gave the matter considerable study and
wisely concluded that the little lines were
made for the blood to run through, or that
they represented lightning.
An old Omaha who had the reputation
of being very skillful in cutting the grooves
in arrow shafts was called by the chief to
do that work for him on some arrows Ire
was making. The chief himself was fine
arrow maker, but he recognized the skill
of the old man in this particular line. While
the work was in progress the chiefs son,
who had reached the inqusitive age and
was looking on with wide-eyed interest,
suddenly asked: Venerable man. why are
you making those crooked lines?''
The chief gave a hearty laugh and said:
Father tell him, for he will be making
arrows himself some day, and he should
know
Every sapling," answered the old man,
''out of which the arrow Is made has some
defect, however faultless 1t may appear to
be. The good arrow maker takes a great
deal of pains to smooth out and straighten
the imperfections by oiling and heating.
But the wood in time will spring back be-
cause of It's inherent defects, unless these
grooves are cut in the shaft soon after

INSURANCE. INQUIRY
Actuary Eldredge on Witness
Stand Again
IN NEW YORK TODAY
EXPLAINED LEGAL EXPENSES OF
MUTUAL RESERVE.
Questioned About Special Assessment
Acknowledgements by Policy
Holders Under Protest.

NEW YORK, December George D.
Eldredge, first vice president and actuary
of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance
Company. who had already been on the
witness stand before the life insurance In
vestigating committee for three and half
days, was today's first witness before that
committee. Mr.. Hughes first took up with
him the legal expenses of the Mutual Re-
serve Company.
The witness said the $4,000 paid to
Tracy, Boardman & Platt for legal ex-
penses in appearing before legislative COM
mittees to secure the enactment of a bill
reincorporating the Mutual Reserve Com
pany in 1901, was charged to the general
expenses of the company.
B. r. Soliday of Trenton took out a pol
icy in 1885 for an amount not to exceed
S., 500 In the Northwestern Life Insurance
Company, which later was bought up by
the Mutual Reserve Company. Mr.. Ell
bridge said the Mutual Reserve gave Soil
day a policy for Sc, 800 In place of the one
he held in the Northwestern. but put
lien of $3.50 against it. Excess mortality
charges later made against the policy cuts
its face value to So, 765. Altogether. Soliday
paid 81 ,943 into the Mutual Reserve as pre-
miums that policy at the rate of s4s3 a
year and got for 1t in 1905 a paid-up policy
for $500, which was all the company would
allow him.
Assessment Methods.
Mr.. Hughes then ques toned the witness
as to why it made representations to
policy holders that it's uniform premium
rate would be certain amount and then
made special assessments against him in
addition. The policy which brought up
the point was made out to Austen La
throp, jr, of Corning, N Y, who was in
sured for $4,000 in the Mutual Reserve In
1882. After paying an increasing rate OF
assessments until 1893 Mr. Lathrop got
which he was required to pay a uniform
rate of SAT bi-monthly.
The company began to levy special as
sessments on him in 1904, and he paid
them under protest The company wrote
him that this policy allowed the company
to make special assessments, and eight OF
them were made on him this year.
The next instance elected the comment
from Senator Armstrong, 1T does not
seem remarkable that there was high
mortality among people holding such
policies I should think 1t would kill
them" The policy was for $4,000, and
company in 1881 by man fiftysix years
old. The premium on this policy ranged
from $50 the first year to S74O in the last
year and amounted in all to $4,000. After
carrying the policy for 20 years the man
allowed it to lapse in 1901 and got moth
Ing Mr.. Eldredge said it was impossible
to prevent the high premiums charged
later because the early premiums were
insufficient.
The expenses of the Mutual Reserve
company were next taken up.

Lieut.. Gen. and Chief OF Staff Adna r.
Chaffee of the United States army predict
ed that the United States will again 60 to

Gentlemen. war will come again. There
are plenty of men in this room who will
see our country at war again. Not on our
own soil, perhaps; you must remember that
we have now become one of the nations of
the earth. We have great interests to de-
fend.
When that war comes we must be in
diligently prepared for It, Modern war is
not what war used to be. No one Is now
fitted to command troops who is not a
scientific and well-trained man. Modern
war must be scientifically treated to save
human life.

The committee of the District board OF

composed of Henry X. Simpson Walter A.
Brown, Ralph w. Lee and Myer Cohen, re-

the committee said that 1t personally in

chemical engines and eight truck compa-
MES, making tWenty-eight in all. The COM
mfttee also visited the 'Firefghter," tested
its readiness for action and found it very
prompt in responses. The committee said:

ment as they exist in actual service We
also gave due consideration to the general
appearance of the men, apparatus and
buildings, and also to the record of mis-
conduct shown by the reports furnished
US from your office. 1t is a matter of sim
cere congratulation that we can report to
you that, owing to the high state of eff
cheney generally displayed, our choice for
award has had to narrow itself down to a
question of percentage, and even now we
feel as IL we should have two flags to award
in order that actual conditions might be
fairly met, still leaving q number that we
feel should have honorable mention
Our observation but deepens the opin-
ions expressed by previous committees. that
the awarding OF the trophy flag is one of
practical benefit and adds greatly to keep

teal efficiency"
