Negative Living.

Living to escape trouble is poor
kind Of existence. The smaller animals
in the forests and mountains have to
give large share Of their attention to
avoiding catastrophe, but man was
made for another kind Of life. "How
are you" a man called out to his
friend in passing. Il can't complain"
was the ready answer. Poor fellow!
The best that he could say was that he
was successfully lodging disaster for
the moment! The present moment
ought to make the highest point of joy
GUS accomplishment our lives have yet
known. God means that it should.
We have more to- be thankful for to-
day than ever before since We or the
world came into being. Even our un-
conscious habits Of speech will indicate
this If we are living abundantly.

Gods Care.

People talk about special provi.
dences. I believe in providences, but
not in the speciality. I do not believe
that God let's the thread Of my affairs
30 for six days, and on the seventh
evening takes it up for a. moment. The
so-called special providences are no
execution to the rule-they are common
to all men at all moments. But it Is a
fact that Gods care is more evident IN
some instances of it than in others, to
the dim and often bewildered vision OF
humanity. Upon such instances men
seize and call them providences. 1t is
we'll that they can, but it would be
g,oriously better If they could beheve
that the whole matter is one grand
providence.-George Macdonald.

All We Have to Do.

The discipline which we choose for
ourselves does not destroy our self-love

His arms as loving mother carries

Russia continues to be in a foment.
The revolution seems to be the most
serious in and around Moscow. where
the mortuaries are filled with the
dead and the hospitals are unable to
find room for the wounded, private
houses being turned into hospitals
for the time being. The new cleo
toral law for the empire has been
gazetted, and was accompanied by a
statement that, in view of the fact
that even some of the western coun-
tries do not possess universal suf-
frage, the cabinet could not assume
the responsibility of decreeing it.
The ultimate decision must be made
by the national assembly itself. The
election list will be published forth
with, the date of the elections will
then be announced, and, as soon as
the government receives notification
that half the members are elected,
the national assembly will be con-
voked. The extension of the suffrage.
proclaimed to-day, applies especially
to the cities, where it is made al
most universal. Besides the work.

Elihu Root of New York is going
to be an important factor in the
next national Republican convention.
Mr.. Root is very close to President
Roosevelt. He has been closely
identified with the reform forces
of New York and Philadelphia, and
those forces are likely to be back of
him in case he is Presidential can
didate Mr.. Root is among the
Presidents representative in the
fight on the Odell machine in the
Empire State, brought on by the
close proximity of the machine and
the big life insurance companies of
Gotham, and both are determined to
overthrow a machine so badly tan
gled up with corporations that are
of vital interest to the people.
Senator Depew, who is in the tangle,
has been unable to extricate him
self, and is said to be a broken down
politician visibly portraying keen
disappointment on his visage. On
the other hand, Senator Plat, who
is one of the world leading political
acrobats and smooth politicians, in
looking for revenge on the Odell
contingent, and not being tied up in
the insurance troubles, has joined
with the Roosevelt-Root reform
forces, and is practically tieo-up to
the Root candidacy in the next Presi-
dental contest.

1T is CONSTITUTIONAL.

The GAZETTE does not care how
much Ethe Isupreme court criticises
the language of Senator Somerville
in making the draft of the entire
amendment to the Stone inheritance
tax bill. 1t simply desires to take
off it's hat to that gentleman on
the fact that, by unanimous de-
cision. handed down last Friday
morning, thatpcourt announced that
the inheritance tax bill passed by
the 1905 session of the legislature is
constitutional, and that the state
will thereby receive about a million
dollars per year from this form of
taxation, which hurts nobody.
We believe four district courts and
about as many probate courts had
held the law invalid, each one of
them contending that it was prop
erty tax, and therefore the in
equitable scale proposed, made it
unconstitutional, Senator Somer-
vile contended, after the lower
courts rendered..their decisions, that
it was mot a tax on money, but
simply on the right to inherit, and
Attorney General Young, in arguing
the case before the supreme court,
took this view. Senator Somerville
based his theory on decision of the
United States Supreme court. His
contention was maintained by the
supreme court. which says that the
law conforms to a system sustained
and supported by the authorities
generally and is not repugnant to
constitutional principles. The court
further says that three distinct
classes are created, and each are
equal. Ability or faculty to pay has
come to be the test of determining
the business of taxation.
The 1905 legislature, so strongly
Republican, is to be congratulated
on having passed a law that finally
stands the test; that law alone was
worth the session; the people are to
be congratulated over the enact
ment, and the senator from Brown
county is to be congratulated on the
decision of the higher
tribunal, which means so much to his
future.

US and better qualify them to take

through the courtesy of The GA
zETTE, to address you by open letter
Section VIII of our bylaws limits
our maximum fire risk to $500 in
amount and defines risk area to
include buildings and contents, and
other property to within fifty feet.
This amount does not offer our large
policy member adequate protec-
ton and he has been obliged to seek
insurance in excess of this amount in
old line companies or go without.
This matter was discussed at con-
siderable length at the last annual
meeting and the majority of the
members favored the adoption of
some plan by which the exchange of
risks in excess of our limit might be
made with some other mutual in
surance company of the state. In
accordance with a resolution adopted
at this meeting the secretary has
negotiated with other insurance COM
panies and is prepared to report
results.
The state association of mutual
fire insurance companies has, for a
number of years, endorsed the
proposition Of reinsurance, and it
was largely in obedience to it's de-
mands that the state law under
which town companies are organized
was amended, permitting the ex-
change of risks. We have secured a
copy of such amendment and have
some question as to the wisdom of
reinsurance which the present law,
as amended, imposes. While it is
desirable to limit the maximum risk
to a point where in case of loss it
will not embarass the company to
meet payment. There is nothing in
our past experience to justify the
assumption that the present amount
is too high and it would seem that
we could safely increase the limit to
1000, which would likely meet all
A safeguard against the danger of
carrying such large single risks
could be provided by the creation of
a reserve fund, derived by setting
aside a small percentage of all
collected annually and only
disbursed in payment of large
losses.

A QUESTION OF GRAFT

A new bit Of scandal cropped out in
the senate on June 2lst, in the debate
on the bill to give the president S2o,Uoo
a year for travelling expenses. senator
H ale, by way OF palliating the eXtrava-
giant expenses OF the white house, which
mount to nearly $4,000 year in adj
d ition to the maintenance of a warship
as yacht for the presidents private
use, said the presidential horses and
carriages are maintained only for use in
Off cial business, and Senator Iillman
demanded to know If the same vehicles
were not also used for private purposes.
Senator Hale could not answer this pos.
itiyely, and Senator Tillman suggested
that, having raised the issue. he ought
TO telephene the White House or other
W lee learn if it were not true that the
government vehicles maintained for the
White House are used by the presidents
household for personal as well as official
business.
1t has been learned that they are go
used habitually. There was a great
scandal some time ago because the
heads of departments were caught using
ing public vehicles for privrte purposes;
and this sort OF petty grating was
checked. 1t now turns out that they
were only following the example OF the
president. His total disregard OF laws
limiting his own power and privileges
has done more to corrupt public morals
in Washington than all other immoral
tendencies combined. His demand to
have his expenses paid when travelling
on private business or on hunting trips
and for pleasure is unconstitutional and
demoralizng, and ought to have been
rejected Ii is treating the public treas
ury az the private property OF the
uyoortt,.
