not one of the objects of the relation
of high trust involved in them. That
relation necessarily creates an i'm
mense power and opportunity for per
sonal advantage in the hands of those
to whom such funds are confided. But
to pervert the trust to the end of
maintaining the power is misappro'
priation as gross and as dangerous as
any of the abuses of the McCurdys and
the AleXanders. The very act implies
sinister design.
What makes the alleged new devel-
opments more noteworthy is the fact
that the trustees and officials involved
represent a reorganization in the man
agement of the company which pur-
ports TO be a reaction against proved
long standing abuses. The protest
which is responsibility made by a re-
spectacle policy holders interest, what.
ever the motive back of it may be,
raises a specific and vital question of
fact which it will not do to evade or
ignore. And the fact, if it be as alleg-
ed, will be sure sign to policy hold
ers and the public that the houseclean-
ing in the big life companies has not
yet been anywhere near as thorough
as it ought TO be-

Policy Holders Protest.

The necessity of unfiagging vigilance
yet on the part of policy holders over
the management of life insurance com
panies. Notwithstanding the overhaul
ing that has been recently made or
begun, is str.kingly suggested by the
protest of Samuel Untermyer, counsel
for the International policy holders
committee of the New York Life.
against certain alleged expenditures
of that company's funds by it's officers
in an effort to gain proxies to secure
their reelection. If, as alleged, pos
tai bill of $4,000 and printing and
other bills amounting TO several times
that sum have been paid by them for
such purpose, it would be a breach Of
trust not less offensive in character
no. less prejudicial to the interests of
the policy holders than many of the
capital abuses, the official exposure of
which as recently so aroused their re-
sentiment and received such notable
public condemnation.
1t goes without saying that the re-
tention of any official or set of officials

and management Of the companies is

PUNY CHILDREN.
Words of Interest to Every Mother in
Rock Island

Surely mothers are not to blame
for that which they cannot help" said
our well known druggist, H. o. Rolls.
during recent interview. but when
we see so many thin, pale-faced and
puny children on our streets we cannot
help feeling that mothers are to blame.
and we wish we could tell every moth
for her children
Vinol is not patent medicine, but
it contains in a highly concentrated
form all the strengthening and
bodybuilding elements of cod liver
oil, actually taken from fresh Gods
livers, without grease or oil. 1t does
not upset the stomach like old-fash-
Toned cod liver oil and emulsions and
its taste is so delicious that children
love it,
Vinol strengthens the most delicate
stomach, makes rich. red blood, builds
strong bone structure. creates hard
firm flesh tissue and checked,
sturdy children are the inevitable re-
suit.
Mrs. Jennie Perse of Mansfield, Ohio,
says that her little boy had overstutf-
led and was so run down that he was
mere shadow. Vinol made him
strong, well boy in a remarkably short
time.
H. o. Rolls says, "For. both chill
dren and adults Vinol is the greatest
strength creator, body-builder. and
health-restorer we have ever sold, and
we will gladly refund the money paid
for it in every case where it fails to
give satisfaction II. o. Rolls, Har-

Cannon is Very Sensitive.

1t is said that Speaker Cannon is
sensitive to criticism upon his auto
cratic rule, and the attacks upon his
course hurt him. A serious phase of
the house situation is that the people
of the United States are becoming
fully as critical of it as some of the
FESTIVE house members. The country
observes that instruction on the
speakers own side has become chronic.
And it is further interesting to note
that the rules for the new Russian
duma were evidently modelled on those
of our house.
The cars government is anxious to
keep the new parliament under good
control. and il knew where to look for
points.

The Laughing Owl.

One of the most fantastic Of birds Is
the laughing owl of Florida and some
other southern parts. He sits well up
in tree ut night and emits a series Of
loud, strange ha-ha's that sound like
half human laughter. The sound is
sufficiently terrifying to a nervous
camper unacquainted with the habit
of the bird, though less grewsome than
the unearthly call of the Chesapeake
loon heard at all hours of the night
along the shores of that bay.--New

news of more massacres on Jews IN Rus

Grodno which was a thriving place of
$4,000 inhabitants few days ago, is in

there. but they are either powerless or
indifferent to check the carnage.
While the government is seeking to
minimize the slaughter it is known that
the massacres there rival those in Kishi-
neff, and that they have been accom-
panied by the most appalling tOrtures.

In an address delivered before a large
audience at the Rodef Shalom Temple,
Philadelphia, on the occasion OF the
sixty eighth anniversary Of the Hebrew
Sunday School Society, the principal
speaker. George w. Ochs, editor of the
Public Ledger. said in part:
''There are now gathered in one
American city to-day Il larger number OF
Jews than were ever domicied in any
one city in the history Of the world;
here in Philadelphia we have more Jews
to-day than resided in all the United
States twenty-five years ago 1t IS not
beside the mark to estimate that at least
100000 Jews are coming to these shores
each year. These figures are staggering,
yet they emphasize the important re-
sponsbilty that confronts us all, and es-
pecally the Jewish youth. OF the 1,25O,-
900 Jews now in America, at least 1,OOO,-
600 have become citizens in the past
twenty-five years
This enormous influx has been
quickly absorbed, due to the adaptable
ity of the American people, as well as the
lberality of our institutions: also largely
due to the era of uneXampled prosper
ity that prevailed during that quarter
of century 1t is true there has been
too much congestion in the large cities
at the Atlantic seaboard, but the genius
Of our people has minimized that evil,
so that, upon the whole, the immigrants
may be regarded as in a fairly prosper
Gus condition. The first million has
been quickly absorbed into the body pol
itic, have quickly assimilated, and are
to-day exemplifying to a high degree
the patriotism, civic virtue, the integ-
rity and good qualities which underlie
the generality of our people.
But the momentous question which
now cOnfronts us is whether the next
million Jewish immigrants, who may be

BULLETS KISSED ABOUT
RUSSIAN GENERALS HEAD
Attempt Made to Assassinate Grand
Duke Nicholas While He Was Re-

st. Petersburg Duke Mich
olas Nicholaievitch, president of the
council Of national defense, narrowly
escaped assassination Saturday at the
hands of the Imperial guards in the
guard camp at Krasnoye-Seio.
It appears that the grand duke was
personally reviewing the maneuvers
and putting the troops through blank
firing practice, when he suddenly was
startled by the wasp-like hiss of bull
let's about his head. Fortunately
neither himself nor his horse was
touched. The command to cease fir
ing was Immediately given and the sol
diers of the regiment from which the
bullets came were marched back to
their quarters and an investigation
begun in the hope of ascertaining
from the barrels of the rifles which of
The soldiers fired ball cartridges. Sew
sral arrests are understood to have
been made.
One of the grand dukes aides-de-
amp, who, however, was not PERSONAL
y present, advanced the theory that
possibly the bullets were fired by acct
ent, but he considered that beyond a
oubt there was a plot on the part of
number of disloyal guardsmen who
planned to take the grand
uke's life under cover of the general
lank cartridge firing.
