THE EASY OIL.

Scott's Emulsion is "the easy oil "-easy to take, easy in action. Its use insures deliverance from the gripping and nau- seating sensation peculiar to the raw oil. Nobody who has any regard for the stomach thinks of taking cod liver oil in the old way when Scott's Emulsion Is to be had. It is equally certain that no one whose health is properly regarded will accept a cheap emulsion or alcoholic substitute for Scott's Emulsion. It fulhlls every mission of cod liver oil and more.

JUSTICE FOR POSTAL CLERKS.

The interview with Postmaster Palmer
printed in The. Bee Sunday brings ont
clearly the facts upon which the postal
clerks are asking to be relieved of the
discrimination under which they labor
as compared with other postoftice en-
ployes in the matter of tenure and pro-
motion.
The letter carriers, the railway mail
clerks and even the rural delivery car
riers have been accorded a schedule by
which they enter the government serv-
ice at minimum salary, with assurance
of successive promotion TO higher
grades at increased pay after satisfac-
tory work for specified periods Of time
The experienced city letter carrier can
work his way up to the 1000 class after
a few years, but the promotion of the
clerks inside the postotfice is so slow
and the salary increases 80 small that
little incentive is offered to keep good
men in the service longer than neces-
sary to get a chance at good job else
where. AS a consequence, the expert
ence of the Omaha postoffice, and, pre-
sumably, the postoftices in other cities,
is that the clerical employees are con-
family changing in the lower grades,
necessitating constant training in OF
new men and federation of inefficiency
due to inexperience.
The reorganization of the Postofiice
department which is now in progress
ought to take into consideration the
defective condition of the postoffice
clerks and find a means of improve
ment at this point, which appears to
be the weakest in the service. En-
ployment as a postoffice clerk ought
to be made attractive to steady, sober
and reliable men, and to hold them
subject to good behavior, just as we'll
as any other branch of the public
service This can be done only by
recognizing efficiency and length of
service for promotion, with maxi
mum limit of salary far enough
above the minimum to make it worth

Versatility of Great souls.

81. Louis GlODe-DenloCTal.
Judge Philips of the federal district court
at Kansas City resents an insinuation of
Judge Trimble that a judge accepting the
hospitality of a corporation officer must
feel under an official obligation to him.
The judge practically insists that he could,
il need be. break mans bread personally
and break his neck officially, without a
qualm. But this is possible only to such
great souls as attain to that elevation long
since reached by Judge Philips. whose err
mine robe has so long shut him out from
the world that he has lost the infirmities
of the flesh. The ordinary man is partial
to his friends, and such men as are not
must be very high or very low, the very
low being so low, indeed, that the distance
between them and Judge Philips leaves
plenty of room for the great mass of people
who stick to the men who stick to them.

YOUNG PATTERSONS CASE,

Joseph Medill Patterson, who last
week resigned in disgust the place of
commissioner of public works under
Mayor Dunno Of Chicago, is not the iirst
young man to be shocked by the COLI
sion of his idealism with rough actuali-
ties, nor is he the first to be thrown out
of even-balanced judgment by the shock.
The zeal that carried him into sensa
tional espousal of Mayor DUNES pro-
posals of municipal ownership in the ex-
citing contest over the Chicago street
railways overleaped all bounds and
landed him in such extreme socialism
that he finds practical dealing with the
existing state of things unconquerably
repugnant to his feelings. He washes
his hands of the whole business and
turns forthwith to preaching the doc
trines of an impractical cult.
The fact that young Patterson as a
municipal official bumped against it Is
simply the fact of human nature. 1t
has TO be dealt with just the same,
whether under the form of existing in
situations or under those of the social
lists conception. if ever that be at
tempted. But he found so much selfish
ness and overreaching, such machina-
tons Of evil-minded men and abuses in
actually administering the local govern
ment of Chicago that instead of carry
ing on to the limit of his ability real
fight in the living present, he walks off
the field of battle before the contest is
really on.
Just now especially are we living in a
time when We need earnest and honest
men to grapple with the governmental
abuses and evils Immediately about
them, disagreeable and discouraging as
the struggle often is, rather than to
idealize and theorlze i'm the clouds.

STOCKS As INSURANCE INVESTMENTS

ciOthS as INSURANCE INVESTMENTS.
No conclusion of the able and ex-
haustive report of the Armstrong in
vestigating committee has given a more
pronounced turn to public thought than
the one which urgently recommends the
exclusion of Industrial stocks from the
investments of life insurance compa-
has been more directed during recent
investigations and exposures to ex-
travagance and other gross abuses of
management which invited and were
capable of more summary correction
than the widespread fundamental error
In investment of insurance assets. But
stockholders generally and thoughtful
men are now insisting upon bonds and
real estate security, TO the exclusion of
stocks, as one of the most important
steps 10 be taken next in establishing
life insurance on satisfactory basis.
The reasons for this course are OBJ
vious. BY the very nature of the bus
mess the paramount point is security,
and not mere profit, as the primary
lien on the property at bottom of in
vestment bonds are to be preferred to
stocks which shrink in value in the
event OF disaster. The mere fact that
during recent years insurance cOmpa-
MES in many cases have made consid-
cradle profits In stock operations is not
sufficient at all, although il constitutes
the sole plea in defense of those Off
cials who have been so grayely involved
in the exposure of such operations.

open up opportunities for questionable
or corrupt manipulation for private

Drposrrs or rREtsrRr FUNDS.


The decision Of Secretary shaw to
deposit S1O.OO.OOO of public money in
national banks throughout the country
raises once again protest in the east
and particularly i'm New York papers
The ill-concealed point of this criticism,
however, is not the deposit of treasury
funds i'm banks. but their equitable dis
tribution among banks in the various
sections of the country. instead of ar
bitrary allotment of the lions share TO
the big banks of New York and other
eastern centers of exchange and spec
ulation. Precisely this is the true con-
tent of labored arralgnment in the ed
ltorial columns of the New York Jour
nal of Commerce of the secretarys sys-
TEN Of distribution of deposits, although
IL is put in the form of an argument
that public funds in excess of the re-
quirements of the treasury for work
ing balance SHOULD he left to distribute
themselves equitably after they have
been deposited"
During all the decades when il was
the custom OF the treasury to "relieve"
the stress in the money market by de-
posits practically confined to the east
ern centers there was never a COM
plant from their newspaper spokesman,
the funds evidently distributing them
selves" to the perfect satisfaction of all
interests in those quarters. Their diff
ferences with the secretary of the treas
ury in those days were mainly ex-
pressed in clamor for bigger deposits
than he might allow or for relief on
excuses which he might not deem suf-
ficient.
1t is noteworthy that the familiar
outcry is made now in eastern money
centers at time when the effects of
speculative excuses are making them
selves apparent in the stock market, the
invariable occasion of traditional Wall
street demand for free hand with
surplus public funds. But the country
will approve as more equitable and sal
utary that policy which makes those
funds, the common property of the peo-
pie, directly available for the legitimate
business wants of the people of all the
sections.

CAUSES OF BUSINESS FAILURES.
Instructive Analysis of Last Years
Record.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune
Last year 1857 individuals. firms and cor
porations engaged in legitimate mercantile
occupations in this country suspended busi-
ness and failed to pay their debts. The
number seems large, considering that 1905
was a year of general prosperity, but 1t Is
small when one considers that there were
!, 1852 947 concerns in business in the United
States.
Fraud is one of the constant causes of
commercial failures, but 1t is far from
being the principal one. Fraud never can
be got rid of, but II does not appear to be
making any Roadway. In 1902 the per-
centage of failures ascribed to that cause
was l01. In 1904 II was SO and in 1906 1t
was 81 II any reliance can be placed on
percentages the commercial world is not
permeated with dishonesty. The public
which has read so much about grating in
high places in politics and grand finance
may take comfort in the thought that dis
honesty Is not rife among the average bust
ness men of the country.
Only four OF last years failures were
due to speculation. That does not prove
that speculation is rare among men en-
gagged In commercial occupations. Probably
there are many of them who are more or
less speculative. but only four got caught

STOPPING A GRAB.
Temporary Check to Greed of Mineral
Land Hunters.


Pittsburg Dispatch
Back of the resolution extending the
tribal existence of the FIVE tribes in Indian
Territory from March /. 1906 when it was
to terminate. to March l. 1907, passed by
the senate yesterday, is an interesting his
tory. Stories of corporate spoliation of the
Indians, in which Wisconsin politicians
figured, account for the interest taken in
the matter by Senator La Toilette, who
made his first speech in the senate in sup
port of the tribes. Under the terms of the
settlement of the Indians in the Territory
certain rich lands were to revert to the
government In case the Indians became
extinct or abandoned the land. The i'm
pending termination of their tribal existence
offered an opportunity for railroad claims
upon this property, and it was to defeat
this grab that the resolution was passed.
Senator La Follette's effort was directed
to raising the issue whether the railroads
should be prohibited from acquiring certain
asphalt and coal lands in the Territory
that might be claimed upon the dissolution
of the tribal relations. The lands. according
to the estimate of Senator Bailey, are
worth between $2O,Oo00O0 and s3oOOO,O0o.
There are only two railroads in the Terri
tory. and It was charged that they formed
a monopoly. Senator clark OF Montana
urged that the lands be retained for the
Indians until the Introduction of better
railroad facilities assured them fair deal.
The extension of their tribal existence
for another year. recommended by the
secretary of the interior. will permit a
thorough investigation OF the matter and
prevent the Indians being despoiled of their
rights or the seizure by corporations OF
lands that should revert to the government
as part of the public domain. In these days
of land grabs special care is necessary in
watching every bill dealing with the pub

Paul Kester in McClure's.
When you shall waken
In some far-off town,
Distant alike by many miles
And many years
From home,
And all shall seem
Unchanged;
The dim light falling
BY the window SIN
The maple leaves
Whispering beyond.
The echo of a neighbours steps
Coming belated by;
When II shall seem TO you
You need but raise your hand
To touch your mothers
Sleeping face,
That any whispered word
Shall wake her,
For your comfort
In the awesome hour,
When you shall know
That morning brings no dread
Beyond the fear
OF rainy days or school;
Then when some sense
OF present time returns
And youth departs,
The heart grows old again
And feels with bitterness
The weight and pain
OF all the intervening years.
