If the New York Life Insurance

publican campaign fund in 1896, 1909
and 1904 how much would it have
subscribed if there had been federal
regulation of life insurance? And
would it nave subscribed to both cam

the policyholders was subscribed to

tect their private investments. 1t is
a great thing to have policyholders
to pay the bills.

Accused of Stealing From His EN-.

WaIIa for Stealing.

Jake Shaffer, a former Walla Wal
la boy, once arrested for stealing
wearing apparel from the White
Hosue Clothing store, was arrested at
Pendleton yesterday on a charge of
stealing $17.75 and several boxes of
cigars from mis- employer, but escap-
ed from the officers after an exciting
chase Of several blocks. Shaffer has
been employed as a baker at Rohr-
mans bakery in Pendleton for sew
eral months. Rohrman's place was
robbed last winter and some Slight
suspicion rested on young Shaffer,
but it was impossible to prove any,
thing against him and the matter
was dropped.
Yesterday morning it was found
that the store had been robbed again.
The officers began a quiet investiga-
ton, with the result that a trunk
which Shaffer had in the bakery was
found to contain two boxes of CT
gars, the same brand as those stolen.
Shaffer was placed under arrest He
was put in charge of Officer Blakely
VINO was to wait until Shaffer could
change his clothes While doing
this Shaffer darted out the rear of
the bakery and escaped. Up to this
morning no trace of Shaffer had been
found. Shaffer escaped prosecution
only by his uncle, who lives here, pay

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
LIFE INSURANCE AND POLITICS

The New York Life managers, after
confessing to having applied the
money of the policyholders to politi-
cal purposes, undertake to justify
On the ground that they were by so
doing protecting the interests of the
policyholders.
The issue in the campaign of 1896
was sound money" The theory Of
the defense of contributing to the re-
publican campaign fund is that it was
in the interest of the policyholders to
help maintain the policy of Sound
money. He taints it and gives it to the
represented that the adoption of
the silver heresies advocated in that
campaign by the Bryan democracy
would have greatly reduced the value
of every policyholder's claim upon the
company. Losses paid in a depreciat-
ed currency would have meant great
injury to the policyholders.
If this were true, from a superb
cial view the contribution to the
cause of Sound money" might seem
to be sound, but the life insurance
company sustains peculiar relation
to it's policynolders. 1t is not like an

icyholders are numbered by tens of
thousands and they are people of all
political beliefs. The management of
the company has no right to assume
what is best for the policyholders in
politics. 1t has no duties or respon-
sibilities to them other than to con-
duct the business committed to them
to the best possible advantage under
such laws and monetary systems as
the government may provide. The
question of shaping national legisla-
tion and national administrative poll
cy with respect to this matter rests
upon the policyholders as citizens
If they are alarmed at a possible
change in governmental policy. it is
their business as citizens to seek to
proven it. but it is not the privilege
pany to perform that duty for them,
and the contribution Of the life in
surance companies to political pur-
ppoes of any kind cannot be justified
upon any ground whatever. They
have no business at Washington or
at Albany or at any other capital
seeking to shape national or state
legislation.

In order to impress him with the size

which has already acquired historical
Dotoriety.
The Grand Duke Ale1ander's infiu-
ence with the ear is paramount. His
counsel is strengthened and confirmed
by his wife, the Grand Duchess Xenia,
the ears elder and favorite sister. She
is devoted to her husband, and both in
temperament and manner bears great
resemblance to the car. It would be
unjust to deny the Grand Duke Alex
ander the virtue of patriotism. He is
Pan-Slavist to the core-a patriot
8 la Russe-which implies an entire
disregard of promises, obligations and
international susceptibilities. He rec
ognizes in England the great rival and
opponent of Russia in the far east. Ii
report may be credited, his imperial
dislike for England is not far removed
from pIebian Anglophobia. 1t is even
said that, although his children were
taught English by their goyerness, they
were not allowed to reply to her in
that language. To sum up the grand
dukes character, he may be described
as an ardent nationalist OF mediocre
ability, with highly developed strain
of the company promoter. AS presi-
dent of the directorate of the Black sea
volunteer fleet, he stoutly upheld the
amiable sophistries of those genial
freebooters, and, in consequence, came
TO Ioggerheads with the ears uncle,
the Grand Duke Alexis, high admiral
of the fleet. The latter is an easy-go-
ing. good-natured bachelor, whose po-
Htieal philosophy may be epitomized
in the words anything for quiet
life He is an ardent lover Of the fine
arts In general. and. in particular, is
an earnest student of the ballet In
this pursuit his generosity is proverb-
ial. and in late instance amounted,
1T is said to a donation of $500, 900.
In principle the Grand Duke Alexis
was opposed to the war in Japan, but,
beyond d mild protest. he made no
practical effort to prevent it, 1t came
as something of a surprise that the
Grand Duke Alexis Should have cast
aside his wonted apathy when the Ma
lacea affair was attaining critical di-
mansions Without his support, there is
little doubt that the pacific party, head
ed BY the foreign office, would have
been overruled by the Grand Duke
Alexander and the inevitably truculent
and beIlieose chiefs of the admiralty
Much covert blame has been imputed

4ion with the defective condition of the

sponsible for the poor equipment of
