LEST We FORGET

An incident of oEd-fashioned honesty
and simplicity in life insurance man
agement occurred last week which
should impress more than it will-those
whom the yellow press has persuaded
that every corporation is marked with
graft, and every life insurance company
with extravaganza.
A meeting of the Agency Association
Of the State Mutual Life Assurance
Company Of Worcester, Mass, was held
at st. Louis following the National Lifo
Underwriters convention. It lasted
only one day, was held at st. Louis to
save the expense of trip to Worcester,
and the agents paid their own expenses.
Superintendent of Agencies B. I'll.
Wright and Actuary E. j. Sartelle met
in the Planters hotel and explained
the new policies and other changes
which will come with 1907; and in the
evening Messrs. Sartelle and Wright
entertained the agents at dinner. This
was all there was Of the meeting; and
the entertainment described represented
the total expense account assumed by
the company in connection with this
very important yearly event.
Yet, every agent was brim full of 10y
paid hia own bills and accepted re-
duction in future commissions. Why
Because of the business value to each
agent Of the reputation for conserva-
tism, economy and honesty which the
State Mutual's record for 81 years has
gained

During the past two years tho sea

tual boat has sailed steadily OH. It's
business and dividends have kept well
up to the mark; ard no agent of tho
company has been placed on the de-
fensive, nor policyholder made to re-
greet his choice. The officials hands

ENEMIES OF NATION ]
| SCORED BY IRELAND.
Preachers Of Utopias scourged
as Public Foes by the
Archbishop.

Council Bluffs, Iowa, Nov. l0.-The
closing event of the reunion of the
Army of the Tennessee was the ban
quet at the Grand hotel last night.
Among the toasts was one on ",The
First President responded to by let
ter from President Roosevelt.
The most notable speech was that Of
Archbishop Ireland, in response to the
toast, "Our Country He said:
'sThat all is perfect in present. con-
we must assert, that nothing eu should
be done subversive of public order, de-.
structive Of the spirit of the country
and Of it's institutions. The wild an
archist, the would-be assassin, are pub
lie enemies of society whom to toler-
ate is to tolerate open sedition. An
enemy, too, of public order is the work
ingman who, refusing his own labor,
deters by violence a brother workman
from his offering of his labor as is, even
in greater degree the strong and the
powerful who override the law of the
land in carrying out the schemes of
their ambition.
Respect Private Property.
"Private property and the right of
every man to own and dispose of the
fruits of the brain and hand must be
regarded as sacred and inviolable. It
is the cornerstone of the social strue-
ture. Destroy it, weaken it. YOU ar.
rest ambition and effort, you give room
to carelessness of the morrow, to III
dolence and idleness; you establish bar
barism. Barbarism is that state of So
ciety where men, having nothing which
is the exclusive possession of any, prey
upon the strength and the labor Of
others.
''That in the holding of private
property there will be inequality is a
fact that is inevitable. Men are not

OF self in the economy preserve and in
crease it.
Denounces Utopias.
"The preaching of Utopias in remedy
of this inequality, the proposal Of
schemes that ignore the nature of men
and the vital conditions of human So
ciety are an insult, no less than an
injury to the individual whom they fam
would beguile.
"A chief panacea put before us is
common ownership, thru city, state or
nation. of productivity and of trans
portation hither and thither of the re-
suits Of this productivity. Let us be
on our guard, common ownership in one
direction leads to common ownership
in another. all the more so when the
purpose really held in mind by the
many is to grasp wealth without much
personal effort; to make up for ones
deficiency by despoiling others.''

Sioux City, Iowa, Nov. 10.-At the
close of the most strenuous campaign
in Iowa's history, it is found that the
next Iowa house of representatives will
consist of seventy-tWO republicans and
thirty-one democrats. The republicans
are classified as follows: Progressive,
a; standpatters, %.
In the senate the standpatters have
lost four and the progressives two.
This gives the progressives majority
of two of the republican memberships,
sufficient to practically assure the vari-
Gus reform measures, which Governor
A. B. Cummins hopes to see enacted
into law.
Twenty-eight republicans of the house
were renominated and twenty-five were
reelected. Of the republicans re-elect-
ed, six have been classified as stand
patters, while of those defeated two
were so classedS The democrats re-
elected some of their strong men

Santo Domingo Treaty.

Santo Domingo, which was q great issue
at the beginning OF the present session.
went to the realms of rest when the demo-
cratic caucus decided that 1t would make
the ratification of the treaty a party issue
and the test OF democracy would be sub
hitting to caucus action. Senator Patter-
son of Colorado would not accept that view
and announced his intention of supporting
the treaty. But even that did not give the
republicans two-thirds Of the Senate. which
was necessary to the ratification. and the
treaty was never pressed. At that time
there were fifty-six republicans, thirty
three democrats and one vacancy. Now
that vacancy has been filed. giving the re-
publicans ffty-seven. After the Oregon
legislature elects there will be one less
democrat and one more republican, which
will make the party strength % to So The
detection OF Patterson viii make the vote

OF course William Pinkney Whyte, the
venerable senator appointed to succeed Sen
ator German, has not declared himself, but
he is not likely to leave his party. and
therefore the treaty could not be ratified.
Besides by the time the Oregon republican
senator could get here 1t may be that there
viii also be two democratic senators from
Oklahoma to still further swell the oppose
ton ranks. The outlook for the treaty Is
not very bright.

A Naturalization Story.

About the time the republicans were get
ting together In the interest of closing up
legislation for the session, some of the
party leaders were expressing themselves
as well satisfied. when the suggestion was
made to them that the republican party
was the best organized machine ever known
in politics; that 1t always pulled f-5elf to-
gether for a campaign and made the fight
to win Representative Lacey OF iowa, who
had not said very much. then related
story OF a Scotchman In his state who was
seeking naturalization. He was asked how
Icing he had been in this country, and re-
piled. Eight years He was then asked
what he thought of our Constitution and In
situations.
7 think IT is a grand Constitution" he
replied, q grand Constitution. and right
we'll do like all your institutions; but the
greatest and best Of all your institutions,
and which I most admire. is the grand old
republican party, which has brought US so
much honor and glory"
That will do, said the judge. Hold up
your right hand and take the oath OF al
iegiance."

Sharp Tilt on the Coming Congress
sional Election.

During the last term in which Charles
s.. Towne represented Minnesota district
in the House there was q great debate be-
tween himself and Representative Nc
Cleary Of Minnesota on the financial ques-
ton, Towne taking the free silver side ana
making a very strong presentation OK the
white metal McCleary was as pronounced
in favor of the gold standard and made
q speech, which was text book in the
campaign of 1895. While Towne was max
ing his great speech recently In the House
In defence OF the democratic party ne anu
McCleary had a little colloquy which show
ed that while they are friends they are
still rivals. Towne was trying TO snow
that il was not the success OF the demo-
cratic party which caused the last haro
times because trouble began during the
republican administration. McCleary IN
sisted that ii was the fear OF democratic
ascendency that caused the nrst trouoIs
and that it was foreshadowed by the ire
mendous majority which the democrats
secured in the congressional election or
1890, two years before the presidenua!
election He asked this question:
Does my friend know one exception IN
the history of our country when the MD
term election did not forecast the coming
presidential election?
THE gentleman may extract any COM
fort he may find in his formula" replied
Towne II am perfectly willing 10 allow
final Judgment to await the election OF the
members OF the Sixtieth Congress
"We accept the gage of battle" said Nc
Cleary.
THAT Is right" answered Towne, Il
want to see a ciean-cut fight.
You will get one" retorted McCleiry.
II was evident that McCleary has no
doubt that the presidential election Of 1903
will be foreshadowed by the congressional
elections this fall. and there is not the
least doubt that they Will give good ind
cation of the temper of the people. Towne's
challenge indicated that he was ready TO
allow the elections this year 10 forecast
the reasult and would go Into the campaign
with the expectation of winning the con-
gressional elections and the greater stakes

Greatest Long-Distance Runners.

an average OF 100 miles covered In each
twenty four hours, not counting the time
lost while the answer was being prepared,
and 1t must be remembered that this feat
was not performed upon fair road or
on an undulating plain. 1t was over the
widest country that the Sierra Madre af-
fords; up and down paths that the very
deer would hardly esteem a trial; the only
level ground encountered was the crossing
of deep river. Also. the journey was done
on ''pinole.'' a species of popcorn ground

would be a paying one. The men have

extreme hot or cold weather this mode
Of travel is very wearing. The Cnau-

proximity to the lakes would make an
electric car line a paying proposition
No doubt II such a line was built an
amusement park would be erected in
that vicinity and a place for recrea-
tion in hot weather would be most
welcome. The matter is worthy OF
