HAVE THEY THE POWER?
Corporation Counsel Daggett Has Not
 VAo+ rt1yny, LIIc

Corporation Counsel Daggett Has Not
 Yet Given His Decision.
 Corporation Counsel Daggett said that he had not yet given to the board of selectmen his opinion regarding the question whether they have power to make voters this year. He declined to say in advance what his opinion Is likely to be. General Registrar Foley contends that the selectmen do not ex- ist as a board. He says that the amendment to the charter extending the terms of the city officers in this city to January l, 1908, did not continue the terms of the selectmen, and that in- asmuch as there was no election last April the selectmen as board are no longer In existence
 It is believed that MT. Daggett's opin- ion will decide that the selectmen are llold-overs.
 That there was going to be an Oc, tober election this year, and the aban- doing of it puts them into q great stew.

 Summoned by telephone message that two boys were breaking into Jacob Res niks shoe store at 67 Congress avenue yesterday noon, Detective Sergeant Dennehy arrived on the scene Just in time to capture Andrew Gentle, a Brooklyn youth, as he was entering in an unconventional way through a win dow. Vincent Burns, also of Brooklyn, Gentile's companion in the attempted theft, succeeded in getting away. The two boys had pulled away an iron bar which protected the window, and if not interrupted would have had no trouble in securing as many shoes as they de- sired.

Stranger Touches Youthful Philip Cole
 man for 93 Cents
 Philip Coleman, diminutive neWsboy of 61 Washington avenue, was the vic tim of an unusually mean finn fam game yesterday morning when he lost practically all of his earnings for the day. As he was going by Woolsey hall he was hailed by a man standing in the doorway and asked for paper. The man pretended to be connected with the management of the hall and told Philip to leave paper there every Sunday. He then asked the boy to give him paper and 93 cents, saying that he would go down to the basement to get dollar. When he received the money instead of going into the base ment he started to run up Prospect street. The boy ran after him and was joined in the pursuit by a student named Frank Macdonald, who had witt messed the transaction, but the man succeeded in making his escape. He is described as tall man, about thirta years old, with a smooth shaven face, and dark hair, He wore a short green coat and black trousers. The police are on the lookout for him.

Well-Known Firm Opens New Parlors
 at 1SS Orange Street.
 Watstein and Mellon, the expert la dies tailors, have opened new parlors at 13S Orange street, corner of Court street.

SALOON KEEPERS UNEASY.

Their Licenses Run Out on October S1,
 and Election Does Not Take Place
 Until a Week Later.
 The fact that election does not take place until November is giving some saloon keepers an uneasy mind. The liquor licenses run out October a. Something similar happened twenty years ago. At that time the temper ance people became very active. and forced the saloon keepers to sell noth- ing but soft stuff. It is generally be- lieved, however, that no notice will be taken of the intervening week, and that drinks will be had as usual.

NATIONAL CONTROL OF LIFE INsUR-

dNCE.
The exhaustive report by a majority
of the members of the insurance law
committee of the American Bar asso-
citation, holding not only that 1t is nee
essary for the national government to
regulate the life insurance. business,
but also that there is ample constitu
tional power therefor, is reopening the
whole subject for discussion. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in hts message to con-
gress two years ago and. in. other public
statements subsequently, impressively
as the sole means of remedying the
abuses and protecting the public inter
ests which have developed In life in
surance, and in response to popular de-
mand numerous bills have been intro
duced in congress, at the same time
that state legislation and investigation
we're in progress. But the result of the
work of the judiciary committees of
both the house and the senate. reach
ing the conclusion at the last session
that national control would be uncon-
stitutional, prevented action and put "a
quietus for a time on the discussion.
But no state legislation that has
been enacted, or, indeed, that is pos
sible, even approaches the root of the
difficulty. Of dealing with life insur-
ance. Uniformity of regulation under
state law Is an iridescent dream. to
say nothing of efficient enforcement.
Investigation of twenty of the biggest
companies discloses the fact that only
one-seventh of their outstanding pol

character of the business and the i'm
possibility of consistent regulation un-
der state laws.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM AND

The Nebraska democracy, through
Its state convention, has promulgated
a platform on which 1t proposes to sp-
peal for the popular support of its
candidates. The platform is on all
tours with public sentiment and while
1t has the flavor of a stump speech will
commend itself to the masses. The
people Of Nebraska are most emphat-
ically in favor of equitable assess
ments of all classes of property, the
abolition Of railroad passes, direct
primary, reduced passenger and freight
rates, the elective railroad commits
sion, equal opportunities for shippers,
the election of United States senators
by popular vote and home rule for
cities.
II goes without saying that II the
candidates nominated by the, demo-
cratic convention we're in full accord
with it's declarations and promises
their chances of success would be fair,
but the voters OF Nebraska are not to
be caught by high-sounding platform
promises. Experience has taught them
that 1t is one thing before taking and
another thing after taking. They re-
member that only few years ago
democratic and populisC state officers
elected on anti-monopoly railroad reg
Ulation platforms acted just like rail-
road republicans. In spite of all their
fine promises they not only accepted
passes for themselves, but solicited
and accepted passes for their sisters,
cousins and aunts. They closed their
eyes to every remonstrance against
the under valuation of railroad prop
erty and utterly failed to toe the mark
in dislocating from the state payroll
tax-eating sinecures.
With a notorious corporation cham
pion at the head of their ticket 1t will
be very difficult to convince the peo-
pie of Nebraska that the reforms prom
ised in the platform will materialize
If the demo-pop party is returned to
power in the state house.
