vide remedy?
The American public has been gen.
erously RECALLED with details of the
lives of the very wealthy families, and
if the stories printed are veracious it
seems that such members of the
moneyed aristocracy as the Wander
bilts and Astors and Rockefellers and
Goulds provide against just such men,
tai and moral dry-rOt on the part of
their sons as is limited by the gentleman
from Indiana. The original and pres
ent heads OF practically all these
families stipulate that the sons must
display some aptitude for business, or
at least moral decency, before being
entrusted with the expenditure or
control of large sums of money There
are indications that the same precau-
tons are being adopted by families of
lesser wealth.
In other words. the tendency seems
to be to educate the heir to millions
out of the idea that money is his
whole object in existence Certainly
each year sees a greater devotion to
business by scions of rich families,
and less leaning toward the life of
a spender. pure and simple.

And from a past and hoary age

And masters old before us stand
With brush and palette clasped in hand

For God my lady. and the right

LIFE POLICYHOLDERs ORGANIZED

This movement which goes under
the general title of the International
POlicyhOlders' association is evidently
too serious now to be laughed at by
metropolitan insurance managers. 1t
had doubtful look when it began.
and some observers assumed that it
was one of those incidents when peo-
pie who want to be prominent jump
upon live issue and endeavor to con-
duct it. AS a rule, such efforts result
in the speedy disappearance of issue
and rider. In this case, instead of a
disappearance, there is a steady
growth in Importance 1t means that
the governors of Connecticut, Florida,
Indiana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and
Vermont have identified themselves
with the organization; so have the
Episcopal bishops OF Connecticut,
Long Island, Milwaukee, Missouri, In
dfanapolis, Illinois, Wisconsin, North
Carolina, Washington, Georgia, Pitts
burg. Virginia and Michigan; SO have
United States judges Archibald, Coch-
ran, Atkinson, Trieber and Maxey and
three judges, Foote. .Gildersleeve and
Spencer of the New York supreme
court. The executive committee of the
association includes President Luther
OF Trinity. Ex-senator Hammer of
Branford in this state, Colonel A. A.
Pope, formerly OF Hartford and DR.. H.
d. Holton of Brattleboro, secretary of
the Vermont state board of health,
among well-known New Englanders.

eyes are set on the Big Three of New

of the reform so far exhibited. They

the death penalty as much as possible,
but it certainly is step in the right
direction, and one which indicates that
ii reaction in public sentiment is taking
place on the matter.
The numerous assaults upon de-
fenseless women and girls are becom-
ing SO numerous that they are arous-
ing the entire country. 1t is pointed
out that until human nature is en-
tirely changed that class OF morally
and mentally depraved men will be
found who are subject to the will of
the most debased passions, are ready
to risk their own worthless lives to
crafty the cravings of their beastly
nature. So long as such men exist
women will not be safe from their
assaults. They are class of men
who can not be permanently reformed
because they are ruled by the lowest
passions. They risk the terrors of the
law as it now exists in order to ac-
complish their devilish purposes. They
can not be reached through an appeal
to their better natures.
The only thing which serves as
check upon such natures is the fear of
bodily suffering. The law must have
its terrors to them else they do not
fear it. If there were the strong pos
sibility of death on the scaffold await

ing those who commit assaults upon
women and children the man would
think more seriously before he yielded
| to the impulses than he would if the
worst he could suffer would be few
years in the penitentiary.
1t will be found that in a few years
there will be a tendency to make
punishment for the crimes of that ma
ture more vigorous. The loosening of
the punishment has had tendency to
encourage the depraved to more fire.

Three Fishers,

Three fishers Went strollng away to
the stream.
TO the babbling brook where the
fishes swim.
OF speckled beauties they all did dream.
And each felt certain they'd bite for
him.
For men will tramp from morning Till
night.
And suffer the fierce mosquitoes bite.
And drink TO stop their grooming
Three fishers strolled into the market
place.
Twas some two hours after the sun
Went down.
And a look of gloom was on each mans
face,
: For ut empty baskets they each did
frown.
For men may fish. but may get no bite,
And lire Tired and hungry so home at
And Vent their wrath in groaning
saloon.
Where the crowd sat round and the
gas was bright.
And each gaily whiStled n merry tune
And showed his fish with assumed de-
light.
For men will fish. yea and men will lie.
And boast of catching the fish they
While inwar,lly they're grooming.

THE SONS OF THE RICH.

Congressman Lands of Indiana, in
an Independence Day speech at Mont

MISSING OUR CHANCE.

The St. Paul jobbers were given a
royal welcome in every town and city
they visited in North Dakota. Grand
Forks out did itself in giving them the
glad hand and extending the city's
hospitality. The Evening Times would
not for moment detract the 1.-THE of
a hair from the cordially of the city
to the men who were its guests.
But as business proposition it is
certain that the results of the trip of
the st. Paul jobbers over the state is
benefit to the prospective interests of
similar kind here. 1t has been the
policy of the people of the northwest
to build up their own jobbing interests
and to give our people at home the ad-
vantages of such business as now
goes to st. Paul. 1t would be an easy
proposition to establish in the leading
cities of this state jobbing houses suf-
fcient to handle the entire trade of the
state and in addition to that the trade
which because of geographical location
would come to these cities.
In word the jobbing business of
St Paul could be moved to Grand
Forks and be as successfully conduct
ed from this point as it can be from
that 1t is evident that the jobbers
OF that city are realizing the danger
which would arise to their interests
from such condition and are quietly
and in pleasing manner endeavoring
to get such hold in the territory that
they can hold the trade even against
the local jobbers should they be estab-
lished.
The methods which they are using
are fair and honorable ones and they
are to be congratulated on the success
with which they are carrying them
out. They are simply getting the trade
OF the northwest so aligned that 1t will
be impossible to take it away. They
are studying the business at close
range. They are finding out what the
people of the state want and are so
shaping their lines that they can give
it to them
While the energy is being manifested
by our competitors our own city is
practically doing nothing to attract
the attention of the people of the state J
TO the opportunities which are to be-
found in it. If a trip over the statty
is being planned the policy is to keen
it from the press and the public. The
trip of the st. Paul jcbbers has filled
columns in the press of that city for
weeks and they sought all the notoriety
they could get while on the trip. They
were always at home to the press be-
cause they realized the advantages to
be derived from such course They
came with flourish of trumpets and
they won. The shivering policy of be-
Ing afraid to act with vigor and pub
lfcity has never gotten business for
my city.

grounds"
Country cousins jostled, elbows with
town folks In the hilter-skilter rush
for the site north of town where the
great white tents were pitched and
where sights to cause wonder and
amazement were certain for those for
tunate enough to secure a place of
vantage.
A party of young people, evidently
from the country. were Fastening
along. the young ladies' gowned in
snowy white TAT one time) dresses,
and wearing gay ribbons in their hair
and about their waists. BY their sides
were their favorite gallants, store
clothes pressed and cleaned for the
occasion. AS they hurried happily
along, munching popcorn and peanuts.
their hearts were light and gay in han
py anticipation of this, the crownine
event of the season. for circus day is
the day when the hearts of the young
ana old unite in the enjoyment of the
pleasures and excitement incident to
IT. AS the party of young people pro-
crossed in their journey towards the
snow grounds, sudden look of anx-
lety was noted on the face of one of
the most hilarious of the party. Fran.
tic grasps at her trail failed to relieve
the embarrassment of the situation
and as white skirt became more and
more pronounced below her dress 1t
was plainly evident that something
had given away and dire calamity was
certain to follow. Looking here and
there for some friendly shelter. the
poor girl. still clutched the skirt
frantically and hoped against hope
that 1t would stick until some occasion
onered an opportunity to mend the
mischief. But no. lower and lower
dropped the garment until nothing but
heroic measures remained and leaving
ner wondering escort standing in
open-mouthed establishment on the
street, she darted into a friendly alley
between two residences on Fifth street.
After a brief interval she emerged
pushing and confused but intact, for
the white skirt had disappeared and
look of relief rested upon her pretty
face.
