J. F. Dryden, president of the
Prudential Insurance company, and
incidentally, United States senator
from New Jersey, has introduced a
bill In the senate for the natioal con-
troll of insurance companiesl Why
not have Hyde, McCallan McCurdy
also prepare bills? Nothing like
having laws made by those who are
to get the benefit of the graft. OF
course, they are the kind who will
make laws to protect the people! If
the government is to make an insur-
ance department, why not operate
the business direct, and save the
people two-thirds of what they now
have to pay2 Why go to the expence
and get no benefit The business
could be run for the expense of the
insurance control department. Be-
ing conducted by the public it would
need no advertising or solicitors.
If people wanted insurance they
could get it; if they didn't they could
leave it alone. Why pay taxes to
run the insurance business and give
all the profits to the parasites? Get
wise, or go soak your head. New
Zealand conducts its fire and life in
surance companies, and at about
one-thlrd what the Americans pay.
Why not get some good out of gov.
eminent? If government is bad,
then change it or abolish it.

ing this municipality as it's chief ex-
ecutive.
1t is one of the chief characteristics
of the morning sheet to discover and
descant unfavorably upon the motives
actuating its political opponents. In
view OF this fact it would appear to
be eminently fair to enquire of the
Herald the true cause or causes which
have impelled it to support Mr.. Duis
rather than Mr.. Dinnie Was it be-
cause OF the fact that the former al
lowed the Herald's improvements to
remain unassessed until the matter
was taken up by special committee?
Is the Heralds opposition to Mr. Din
ME based upon it's insinuation that he
will play into the hands of the rail-
way interests in the event of his cleo
ton. when his whole life record
shows him to have been the staunch
champion of the people whenever their
interests were menaced by railways or
other corporations:
If Mr.. Dus is not corporation can
didate why did he eXpend the peoples
money in the construction of drain
On Washington street and Dyke avenue
with the object of draining the pro-
perty of the Great Northern Railway
company and for DO other purpose?
Why did he allow the granting of rail-
way right-of-way across city property
without any compensation therefor
when the cracker factory, in which
Mr.. Dinnie is stockholder, COM
PEELED the railway company to pay
$500 for a similar privilege,
although one much smaller in extent?
The above pertinent queries, if
properly digested. should have the eff
feet of causing the Herald to give an
exhibition Of it's we'll known ability as
contortionist that must simply out
class all of it's previous admirable
efforts.

A PUSILLANIMOUS PROGNOSTICA.
TION.

The Herald is adhering to it's usual
tactics of whistling to keep it's cour-
age up by confdentally predicting the
overwhelming defeat of Dinnie in the
mayoralty race.
The Herald's political predictions
like the traditional Irishman's dream
always goes by contraries, the wish
ever being father to the thought, as
its course in former campaigns goes
to show.
Mr.. Dinnie, it is true, may fail of
an election, but to attempt at this time
10 maintain that such an event is
foregone conclusion is but to display
Grass bumptiousness or inexcusable
ignorance in a pitiable degree. The
Dinnie meetings are being largely at
tended and are marked with an earn
estness and enthusiasm that should
presage success.
The claim that Mr.. Dinnie is "in
with the old gang" simply because of
the fact that some of Senator Hans
brough's friends in this cityNere fav-
oring his candidacy, is childish in the
extreme, as Mr.. Dinnie's attitude on
the capitol commission deal con-
clusively proves. But. admitting for
the sake of argument that Mr.. Dinnie
is friendly to what the Herald is pleas
ed to style "the old gang" what pos
sible use or misuse, could he make of
his position as mayor of G., I'd Forks
to further the interests A.hat al
legged organization?
The Herald. in order to best serve
its own venal ends, has in this case
:set up man Of straw in the hope
OF frightening the timid and unin-
formed into serving its nefarious pur-
poses by voting against a man who
has in the past repeatedly given proof
~ his honesty and ability while serv-
