cARRoLL,s EFFicIENcY,

tho insurance business of the state

as a relief after the states experience
with Max Behler and the Merriams.
Doubtless this situation facilitated
to a great degree the work of the in
surance commission in. it's investiga-
tions. With everything in good shape
in the auditors Office it was possible
to figure from a certain basis, whereas
if there had been many wrongs to be
more difficult to ascertain wherein the
difficulty of administration of insur-
ance affairs was located.
Although the commission has had
some difficulty in reaching an agree
ment within itself upon what recon-
mendations should be made to the
Legislature, 1t has obtained the infor-
nation necessary for guidance in the
legislation of the coming session of
the general assembly. The investiga-
ton. has been extended into all kinds
of insurance, and the commission has
found that all companies during bust
ness in Iowa are practically complying
with the laws of the state under which
they are organized While they may
be thus operating it is probable that
more stringent regulations will be
placed upon those wishing to do bust.

now stand are complied with, and the

show what the United States has to
deal with in Cuba rne revolutionary
spirit seems to be deeply lodged in
the people OF the island and the les
son of Self-government is going to be
difficult one for them to learn With
these bands continuing in their law
lessness and disorder, even after
President Palma whom they despised,
has left the executive chair, the indi-
going to be hard to put down by moral
suasion and lessons in good govern
ment.
They do not seem to realize that the
longer they conduct themselves in
this manner the longer it will be be-
fore they will be freed from occupa-
ton and the provisional government
of the United States. 1t was stated
by Secretary Taft in his proclamation
that the United States would occupy
the island with provisional govern
could be placed in order and another
chance safely given the people Of
Cuba to govern themselves. That
was very indefinite promise. and
while predictions were made freely
that the time when the provisional
governor would be withdrawn would
not be soon. yet the matter seemed to
De CONSIDERABLY Wltnln the handS or
the Cubans themselves. 1t seemed
practically certain that they would be
given another chance of self-govern-
ment before great while.
However, the fact that these bands
continue in their disorder, regardless
of the fact that the president against
whom they protested has retired, is
indicative of condition of affairs that
was Anticipated in this country and it
may be presumed, fortells long time
provisional government. Slow pro-
gress and education in the principle
of majority rule and minority rights
must mark their entrance to the field
of self governed peoples. These are
the things that the Cubans and like
people find it hard to understand, but
they are also the things that they must
understand. 1t may be necessary to
await the growth to manhood of the
rising generation, which will be edll.
Gated along different lines of princl.
pies than those under which the pre-.
sent peopleea power we're reared. The
Unites states has taken the matter
in hand to settle and settle right, and
if it, Is necessary to remain in the
island to that period the provisional
government will be continued.

OF course, the evangelist was as

A FACTORY GIRL TALKS

Valley Junction Express.-One of
the evangelists with the Chapman
party has been holding meetings in
saloons, jails and other places where
it was supposed that listeners could
be found who would not be likely to
go to the regular meetings. Factories
have been chosen as places in which
to talk to the operatives during the
noon hour. The attention of all of
them has been good and it must be al
lowed that the tone of the preaching
has been good. Yet it all has the look
of patronizing and insinuation. At one
factory in which large number of
girls. are employed, he talked while
they were eating their lunch, and at
the conclusion of mis- remarks young
woman worked her way up to the
speaker and informed him. with the
indicated appreciation Of the rest of
the workers, that they were very glad
to hear what he had to say, that they
were all glad to hear anything that
could be of any use to them, but she
wanted to ask in all sincerity why he
came to them to have 1T reported in
the papers, just as it was reported
that he had gone to the saloons, the
jails, and other places that might be
worse, thus giving out the plain init
nation that factory girls" were what
she termed "a hard lot" She said all
the girls in the factory were honest,
respectable young women, that they
all tried to live decent, orderly lives,
and really did not do anything very
bad. not nearly as bad as the all
night dances among the swell" resi-.
dents out on Grand avenue. She de.
manded to know why he considered it
necessary to come to them in this un-
usual way, as though they were really
on a lower moral level than more for
tunate people, and why he thus dis
eliminated between them and the
wealthy and aristocratic. She told him

New York Globe.-In this day of
universal regulation, when control is
the watchword of legislation, Sylves-
ter Bakers plea for an abatement Of
some of the nuisances of outdoor ad-
vertising falls on sympathetic ears.
We travel. and the Journey is horror

is sadly in need Of champion. If 1t
be said that while the common law
has held that undue odors and noises
are actionable nuisances there is no
body of judicial decision against undue
sights the reply may be made that
the eyes of other generations have
never been offended as ours. But 1t
is not strictly true that the legal
rights Of the eye are unrecognized.
