HAIL INSURANCE sWINDLER.

The correspondent to the ArgusLea-
der from Marion, this state, reports
the following:
A hail insurance swindler, repre-
senting some mutual concern, got
busy here few weeks ago and sold
large numbers of hail insurance poll
cies at the low rate of one per cent
straight. As this is remarkably low
rate he did quite a flourishing busi-
ness, until somebody's policy arrived
and took it TO town to be looked over.
Then it was discovered that these
farmers were insured for term OF
five years in most instances, and that
they has signed prommissory notes at
tached to the applications, whereby
they obligated themselves to pay :
per cent premium, instead of one.
Now there are frequent trips to the
attorneys offices. There are quite q
number of victims hereabouts and
should the solicitor ever show up IN

The peek "a Boo" waist, the latest
creation of fashion for summer wear
by the ladies of the ''smart set, and
others, is just now being made the
butt of ridicule and no little criticism.
The "Peek-a- Boo" serves two pur-
poses, viz: To keep the fair sister
cool on these warm days when she
has nothing to do do but lay around
in shade Ghe fair sisters who have to
work over a hot kitcnen stove still
wear some clothing above the belt
and to serve as a filler for newspaper
columns. the same as this item. For
the benefit of those who know nc
more about the "Peek-a-Boo" than
does this writer, we will say that as
near as we can learn it is the latest
fashionable creation of the dressmak-
ing art from a material that looks like
piece of fog bought at loom end
sale.

tried to do too much, and in the next
place because we have approached the
task absolutely free from any spirit
of rancor or hatred.
sin any such movement man will
find he has allies whom he does not
like. You cannot protect property
without finding you are protecting
property of some of the people who
are not very straight. You cannot war
against abuses of property without
finding there are some people warning
beside you whose motives you would
frankly repudiate. But in each case
be sure you keep your own motives
and conduct straight.
"When it becomes necessary to
curb great corporation, curb it. |
will do my best to help you do it. But
/ will do it in no spirit of anger or
hatred to the men who own or control
that corporation; and If any seek
in their turn to do wrong to the
men of means, to do wrong to the
men who own these corporation, Twill
turn around and fight for them in de.
Tense of their rights just as hard as !
fight against them if think they are
doing wrong.

dependent manufacturers. The posi-
bilities of evasion of this provision are
plain enough but it is also clear that
when the interstate commerce commits
sion has tested this feature of the law
and has found that it not only may be
abused, but is abused the remedy is in
the hands of congress in the shape of
an amendment.
The rate regulation law was made to
be enforced in good faith. OF course,
it is probably defective. These de
fects will be remedied from time to
time. The character of the remedy will
depend a good deal on the disposition
of the railroad managers themselves.
If they act in good faith and seek to
comply with the law as far as possible
they will have no trouble. The people
thru congress, however have the last
word on this question of rate regulation
and a good way TO insure the passage
of very much more drastic legislation
would be to try to nullify this one by
taking advantage of every technical
ity and every chance of escape from its
plain intent. There may be lot of
railroad men and railroad lawyers who
may be clever enough to defeat the
purpose of the law in various particu-
lars, but we will venture the tip right
now that it won't pay. Minneapolis

CARRIE NATION is again under ar
rest. This time by virtue of a FEEDER
al warrant. 1t seems that Carrie pro
duced an article of the "Peek-a- Boo
waist variety, which was published in
her little Hatchet, and the authorities
declare that it was inadmissable te
the mails. Carrie always pretended
not to like the nude in art and severa
times got busy with her broad axe tc
the financial loss of the booze dispen
sers who were wont to decorate theil
places in that style. But Uncle San
does not like the nude in literature
and Carrie stopped over when she at
tempted to convert the U. S. mail ser
vice into literary garbage cart.

THE CHIEF TASK.

In closing his Fourth of July adj

This year in congress our chief
task has been to carry the government
forward along the course which |
think it mus follow consistently for
a number of years to come that is in
the direction of seeking, on behalf OF
the people as whole, to exercise q
measure of supervision, control and
restraint over individuals and especi-

of that wealth brings it within the
reach of the federal government. We
have accomplished a fair amount and

A New YORK Judge holds that the
officials of the New York Central can t
be imprisoned far conspiracy to vio-
late the Elkins law against rebating.
The basis on which this manned limb
of justice arrives at his conclusion is
beyond us. But if it is fact that a
man holding an office in the manage
ment of a corporation is immune from
punishment for violations of law
which are directed by him, and for
which he alone is responsible, why
cannot horse stealing or any other
crime be excused on the same grounds
