PRETTY BIG PROFIT.

1t is alleged that the Prudential In
surance Company recently paid its
stockholders the modest dividends Of
two hundred and twenty per cent. on
their investment. In fifteen years the
wage-earners of Massachusetts, have
been robbed Of forty million dollars by
the old line life insurance companies.
And under the same system the Ameri-
can people have been mulched for
millions upon millions. The system
has shown itself to be the most colos-
sal fraud of the age. The News would
not advise those having old line poll
cies to drop them, but in the name of
Heaven don't buy any more. This is
not saying life insurance is not alright
1t is, and every man should carry a
policy for his family, but to do this
one need not buy New York Life, or
Prudential, or Mutual, or any other OF
that class. You can get good straight
life insurance in companies that are
run by the policy holders for the policy
holders in which you will be asked to
pay only the actual cost of carrying
your risk. The investment feature,
such as tontine, twenty-pay life, and
gold bonds, is nothing but heightened
robbery. The day of reckoning for
these old line companies has arrived
and from the reports being published
they are having no end Of trouble.

OUR GREATEST CRIMINALS.

We may talk all we please about the
criminal classes, those who put on a
mask and go out and hold up a train,
or wait in dark alley for the citizen
returning to his home and at
the end OF revolver relieve the vic
tim OF his cash and other valuables;
we may condemn the shark who
swindles poor widow out Of her last
cent, or the rascal who, in the wee
hours OF the morning steals into our
homes and carries off such plumber as
may fall within his reach, but all these
are gentlemen beside another class.
We refer to the heightened, kid-gloved
robbers, who, in the name Of decency,
and with pretense to responsibility,
rob their fellowman. We mean the
gentlemen who today stand at the
head of the business world and by
virtue of their power levy tribute on
the men, women and children of this
land, even the whole earth. We mean
the insurance thieves like the deceased
John A. Mccall and Mr.. Nc
Curdy and hundred others; we mean
John D. Rockefeller, and Rogers, and
Gas Addicks, and thousand more
just like them who have used every
means within their power to rob the
people, and in so doing have violated
our laws and corrupted multitudes
of our best men. We mean these
rich and aristocratic blooded an
archists, who have done, and are doing,
all in their power to corrupt our public
servants and pauperize the people.
These FL are not only thieves, but
worse; they are not only criminals, but
more. Beside them Benedict Arnold
was patriot, and the most degenerate
criminal behind the grated doors Of Sing
Sing prison is a sainted soul.

SOMETHING ROTTEN.

There is certainly something radical
ly rotten in American criminal law, and
il seems the time has come for a pro-
test. Instead of those who violate our
laws being tried upon the evidence in
the case, the evidence is ignored, the
crime often admitted, and the plea Of
insanity raised. If the defendant is
unable to find those who will testify to
his insanity from birth, temporary in
sanity is alleged and too often permit
ted to stand between the guilty wretch
and the gallows. Crimes committed in
a fit of rage are defended under the
temporary insanity plea, and what
is just plain old-fashioned temper is t1o
often excused on the ground that the
criminal is of unsound mind.
1t is high time for outraged justice
TO cry out for dehverance from this
foolish and dangerous thing, and to de-
mand change. Those who commit
murder should be denied the right to
invoke the aid of such a law, except
in extreme cases, and then the most
convincing proof should be demanded.
Nor should the plea Of insanity be tried
in the criminal courts, but before a
committee of learned medical men
trained especially for this work. The
plea of temporary insanity should not
be recognized, because of the advan-
tage taken Of it, and the abuses grow
ing out OF it. Let men learn to hold
their tempers. If they can't let them

Now that Governor Gooding has
been sustained by the Supreme court Of
the United States those who have been
condemning the governor for his action
in bringing Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone to Idaho will promptly pro-
coed to cuss the Supreme court. The
dynamiters work on the theory that
organized murders can do no wrong"
and guilty or innocent members Of
their union ought to enjoy exemption
from criminal prosecution. These men
are just as good, and no better, than
other citizens, and are entitled to the
same rights, and no more, than other
men. They are entitled to fair trial
and they will get it, and if guilty de-
serve hanging and will probably get
that like other murderers.

That Sears & Roebuck shoe on dis
play in the News window attracts a
great deal of attention and receives all
manner Of comment, one fellow insinu-
ating that the holes must have been
put there by the News editor. But
there is plenty Of proof that we are not
guilty Of any such charge. No ole

the man who bought it insight and
unseen took it to Saad's repair shop

The Woes of a Party Line.

The following is one of the best
poems of its kind ever published. If
there were more party lines on the
prairie the poem would perhaps be bet
ter appreciated. However it is too
good to pass up and those who have
had experience with party telephone
lines will find many pleasant memories
in its lines, says the Grangeville Free
Press.
Neighborhood not far from here
Put in telephone last year;
Farmers built a rural line
Instruments all talked up fine.
All you had to do was ring,
Every bell went ting-a-ling.
One for Swansons, two for Boggs.
Long and short for Old Man Scroggs.
Every neighbor had his call,
Twist the crank and that was all.
Mighty nice when work was thru
To gossip for an hour or two
With your neighbors, one by one,
Mighty nice, but lots more fun
To overhear some other two,
Telling what was not for you.
Every time he signal rang
To the phone each farmer sprang
Shyly grinned and softly took
The receiver from the hook.
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his large red ear;
Slapped his leg and said Il swan"
Telephones is lots of fun"
Somehow in week or two
Troubles dark began to brew.
Farmer Jones got fighting hot,
Heard Scroggs calling him a sot.
Farmer Brown seemed angry too,
Heard Smith telling what he knew.
Smith heard Johnson telling lies,
Paid him off with two black eyes.
Johnson heard young Ezra Boggs
Underbid him on some hogs.
Ezra overheard a sneaking churl
Making love to his best girl.
Women, two, were in a muss,
Raised a most outrageous fuss.
Every enc from Scroggs to Jones
In glass houses throwing stones.
Now the line has silent grown
Wires rusted; poles o'erthrown.
Twenty friends are deadly foes,
Each one full of grief and woes.
Each too mad to speak word,
Cause of things they've overheard.
