Tough on Tom O'Brien.

ION Lawson, who has done so much
towards bringing life insurance frauds
into daylight, was deeply chagrined
over the inanity of the gathering of
governors and insurance commission
ers which was held at Chicago last
week to consider insurance matters.
To a reporter he stated that the con-
clave had ''merely cut off wart and
trimmed toe nail of the problem. "
Mr.. Lawson probably did not take
into consideration that some of those
present owed their present lofty posi-
tion in part to stolen insurance funds.

A Pftiable Exhibition.
Eighteen Democratic state equaliza-
tion commissioners and not one of
them with, backbone enough to say
whether the tax laws should be en-
forced or not was the pitiable exhibi-
tion at the capitol Friday Crying in
open meeting that the whole trouble
lay in a false valuation instead of the
lawful requirement of 100 cents. the
board backed down completely when
asked to make a recommendation
along law enforcement lines. To the
county auditors request, who had
been invited to be present and sip at
the fountain of knowledge, the board
made answer that it was only board
of review and therefore unable to-
define the duties of those beneath it.
And yet it is of knowledge that the
county auditors we're invited to be
present that they might profit from
the meeting. And they did profit.
They called the boards bluff, and
that was worth the two whole days
they sat out in the house chamber and
chewed the cud of reflection while the
Democratic body debated behind
closed doors.-St. Paul Dispatch.
