LAWSON HAULS
JOHN A. MCCALL
over THE GOALS
Accuses Head of New York Life Of
Most Desperate Crimes--Savs he
Has Robbed Widows and Orphans
Investigation has Only Begun.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30,-In an open
letter to John A. Mccall. president OF
the New York Life Insurance Co.
Thomas W. Lawson says III part:
Sir: 1t is time your attention was
called to the moral sense of the people.
1t is time some one dragged You out
of the Wall Strest Observatory and set
you in the plain white light of daily
life. 1t is time you vera shown your
self as you are today seen by the mil
lions of your contrymen, who month
ago, believed you t, be great and
honorable man.
In spite of the terrible exposures of
the!past few weeks, in spite OF sthe
pitiless revealment of yourself and
your directors as tricksters, III spite
of the unveiIilg of the jugglery, graft
ingb and corruption OF your admins
tration of fhe most sacred trust that
can pa confided to man, you remain
unconviaced of your fall aud unpane
rated by your shame.
Throughout this broad country of
ours are good Americans who have
shaved and toiled to:gather up the hun
dreds of dollars which you have ex-
traced from them yearly as the price
of the future livelihood of their wives
and children, or as the provision OF
their own old age. You have made
yourself custodian of these funds un-
der sacred pledge of ministration.
And with the moneys that at any
time might have been claimed by these
widows and orphans that you have
been rigging syndicates, debauching
legislatures, manipulating stock mark
cts and doing other things which
will be proven later.
One year ago in erybodys Mag
azine I said: 1.-The officers, trustees
aud officials of the big Three" life
insurance companys have been and
are now squandering their policy
h Dlders. money. They are graf6ers-
mean, contemplate grafters.
I have specific instances of their
thieveries.
Today you and your fellow plumber
ers stand convicted In the eyes of the
world not only of juggling moneys of
the widow and the orphan i'll the
stock market, but of manipulating
these trust funds for the benefit of
your own pockets. Today the world
is aghast at your perfidy and amazed
at your temerity.
Notwithstanding the turpitude al
ready exposed to the people, you
still imagine you can still so conduct
yourself az to prevent the investigators
from fastening on you and your associ-
ates the more desperate crimes that
have been committed in the past-the
$50 to 200 millions stolen and divert
ed or used in corruption. You know
as do tiat the very edges of this
national cesspool have yet been uncov-
cred.
In sending you this open letter, am
only actuated by a desire to bring you
and your associates to such sense OF
the seriousness of your position that
you will see it useless longer to attempt
to defy the Americn people.
Yours for the exposure of corpora
ton sneak thieves.

TO SAVE RUSSIA.

Interest In the chaotic conditions now
center around the deliberations Of the
zemstyo assembly at Moscow. II APP
pears that leaders Of that congress
hope to consolidate the conservative eio-
ments in an effort to aid the govern
ment to restore tranquility and order
throughout the empire. The radicals
are said to have planned a counter
demonstration, in which peasants, la
borers, soldiers and sailors VIII take
part, In favor OF their revolutionary
program. They hope to use the preva-
lence Of famine and the threatened APP
proach OF the plague as foundations foe
arguments in favor Of their cause and,
undoubtedly, those spectres will prove
powerful allies Of the leaders Of the
reyolutionists The outcome OF the de-
liberations Of the members of the
zemstyo are therefore followed with
deep interest
II is stated that they have excluded
from their assembly a delegate 'Thp
came as a representative Of the Jewish
population OF Wilma Lithuania, presum
ably because he is a Jew. This seems
to indicate that, even in this dark hour
of Russla's despair the would-be sa-
vors of the country are blind to some
OF the real dangers that threaten IT,
one Of these is the injustice that has
so long tolerated the cruel murder of
people OF the Jewish race, Is the con-
gress that meets to consider ways ana
means Of the restoration Of tranquility,
to disregard the cry Of millions for pro-
lection against foul persecution2 II so.

once and let riot devastate the land.
for Russia cannot be saved without es-
tabllshing justice and equality before
the law. The ship will continue to
sink, as long as murderous bisotry IL
not thrown over board and consigned
to the deep Of the past Russia will BE-
under a curse Just as long as II con-
tinues to curse the seed Of Abraham.
The ancient promise is stil In force; Il
will bless them that bless thee, and

ANTI.MILITARISM.

A curious movement has been started
in Europe, which, however, is In per-
feet harmony with the spirit OF the
age. II has for object the disbanding
OF armies, through wholesale mutny.
According to what Is stated In the cur
rent number Of Literary Digest, there
is an international antl.military asso-
citation in full operation. carrying on
dlllgent propaganda among the SOL
dlers. The nature OF this agitation Is
best understood from the quotations
made Mr. Jean Jaure one OF the lead
ers Of French Socialism. is reported to
have said, In an address at Limoges:
THE duty of Socialists, as soon as
danger OF a war appears, Is vexy plain,
The International Labor association
stands before everything else for per-
manent and universal propaganda Of
peace. When ambition or desire Of con-
ciuest arises In the State and suggests
the probability or possibility OF war,
the International proletariat must rise
as one man and make IL plain 10 the
government of capltalistic state that
the laborlng men viii have no slaugh-
ter"
one Gustav Herve seems to be one
OF the chief promoters of the agita-
ton for mutiny. French papers claim
that his doctrines are brought to
bear upon conscrlpts, who are taught
the most profound contempt for their
military duties. He is reported to have
said In a recent speech;
Comrades. you are called to the mil
itary school In order TO be degraded,
In order to learn how you may XIII
your brethren Refuse the rifles offered
10 you, or take and smash them IN
suit your gOld-laced commanders. Let
ms All cry out: Down with the army!
Away with country! Long live inter-
nationalism"
It Is claimed that this propaganda Is
already filling the authorities Of France
with alarm and that many voices are
heard for the violent repression Of It,
1t is evident that such an agitation
is IN the highest degree dangerous, as
long as present conditions prevail But
Il proves that a strong reaction has set
! IN against the policy that became OPP
pressive after the wars that were waged
for German unity during the rule OF
| Bismarck. And II this reaction Is ylo-
| lent II is because of the gigantic ex-
ertion necessary to burst the bonds II
the agitation spreads the governments

duotlon Of their armies and navles A

In further explanation OF this simple
matter, which has been so complicated
by the writer In Truth a representa-
tive Of the Deseret News obtained an
interview with City Chairman Lyman
