state of New York, appointed to inves-
tigate the affairs of life insurance com
panies, covers a printed pamphlet of
3l9 pages. Matters demanding the

purpose of remedying existing evils
and establishing more securely the
business of life insurance in this state,
are grouped under the following
heads:
1-organization of life insurance
corporations.

14-Forms OF policies.
15-Publicity and state supervision.

The committee recommends that ar.
ticle IL of the insurance law be so
amended so as to permit the formation
Hereunder of mutual corporations
without capital stock, to transact the
business of life insurance under limita'
tion.
Section 200, permitting the incor-
poration of companies upon the coop
erative or assessment plan, should be
amended so as not to permit such
companies TO be Incorporated: and fur

recommended:
"At least five months prior to cleo
ton, lists of policy holders should be
filed with the superintendent of insur'
ance and similar lists should be open
to inspection at the home office of the
corporation Voting should be limited
to those who have beep insured at
least one year before the election, and
whose policies are still in force at the
time when the election shan be held.

movement has been started by the

pending the various peace societies

MACHINE TO PREVENT LYING

There will soon be no more speed
lies" said an automobilist There
will soon be an end to the country
sleuth, rising up with a gun from be-
hind a hedge, showing stopwatch and
taking the motorist off to be fined $50.
Soon every automobile will carry a
speed register that will show the rate
of the vehicle at every moment from
the time it starts to the time it stops.
This speed Indicator, a French
mans invention, looks on the outside
like those self-registering barometers
and thermometers the weather bureaus
use. 1t has a needle, and this needle
writes the machines speed. 1t makes
a record of the speed. This record
speaks for itself. All lies of chauffeurs,
all lies of venal motor cops, are power
less against that record.
The speed indicator has also a
bell and an automatic brake attach
ment. When the automobile has reached
a speed limit within mile of the legal
limit, the bell rings it's warning. If, in
disregard of the bell, the chauffeur in
creases his pace, then, as soon as the
legal speed is exceeded, the automatic
brake goes on and the automobile stops.
This excellent instrument will ulti-
mately be adopted by every govern
ment, and every automobile will be
compelled to have one. The dangerous
speeding will cease, speed lies will cease.
The indicator, like Il religious revival
will cause all those connected with
automobiling to stop breaking the law
and to stop telling falsehoods,"

HE WAS HARD OF HEARING

A number of recruits were drawn up
in line for medical inspection. They
were stirred by the thought of fighting
for king and country.
One of them was so nervous at the
badgerlng and overbearing manner of
the army surgeon that he was momen-
tarily tongue-tied.
''What in the thunder is your name,
and how old are you?" roared the
doctor.
BY way of reply, the raw recruit only
stared at him with panic-stricken eyes.
But answer there came none.
why, the fellow must be deaf" eX-
claimed the irate doctor. By the way
OF testing his theory, he took out his
watch and held 1t 10 the lads ear.
"Can you hear it ticking" he shout
ed.
The youth shook his head.
The watch was transferred to the
other ear, with the same effect.
why, what do you mean by trying
to enlist when you're stone deaf?''
cried the surgeon ''you can't even hear
the ticking OF a watch when II is held
within an inch of your ears"
'She's not going!" stammered the
fiustered recruit, driven to despera-
tion. Then the doctor discovered that
the watch had stopped.-Answers

THE s. P. AUToMAToN

The Republican candidate for gev-
ernor Of California, who might appro.
priately be dubbed the Southern Pa
cihc autonaton, fired the opening gun
Of bis campaign at oakland. The re-
port was not heard by Governor Par
dee, although Oakland is the govern
ors home town. The governor had
taken to tho woods In good season,
and I'm response TO an earnest call for
his presence at the touch-off of Gill
letts boom, he replied that he was en-
joylng himself fairly we'll i'm his re-
treat
Candidate Gillctt appreciated the fig
ure he cut in the platform bearing the
S. p brand. At the outset of his
speech he essayed the tough job of
trying to disguise the brand and to
squirm out of the harness. He said
"Since my nomination the Democratic
press of the state, and some of our
Republican newspapers, too, have
stated that | am the machine candi-
date and the railroad candidate "
He denied the accusation, of course,
but with about as much semblance of
truth as the darky's denial of having
stolen a chicken when the birds feet
protruded from under his coat
AS California readers generally know,
Mr. Gillett had not even been mem
tiored publicly as possible candidate
for governor prior to the night IN
Washington when II. II. Hartman Mt
a banquet introduced him as "the next
governor of California" From that
moment Gillett's nomination was as
sured. In consideration of allegiance
to Hartman, and of a presumed OBJ
he was hailed "the next governor
of California" in manner almost as
dramatic as the hailing of Macbeth
by the witches as "Thane of Cawdor"
If Candidate Gillett were as discreet
now as he probably was in the days
of his boyhood, he would say nothing
in the way of denial about the mort
gage given to Hartman on his suppos-
ititious gubernatorial career. The say
ing that "Silence is golden applies in
his case with the force of a battering
ram. He might as well deny.the prom
Use made to him at the banquet as to
say now that he will not be the plant
tool of Hartman in the event of Re-
publican success in the election.
1t would be the part of wisdom for
him to steer clear in his spellbnding
efforts of any allusion to his machine
made origin as candidate for gov
ornor. Every word he may say in de-
lial will be discredted in advance by
every intelligent voter who hears him,
as the facts about his nomination at
Santa Cruz are as familiar to the pub
lie as the fact of his being proclaimed
by Hartman as "the next governor
Of California"

A RETROSPECT

Il requires no great stretch Of mem-
cry for "old-timers" i'm Los Angeles to
see, i'm their minds eye" this city as
1t appeared twenty-five years ago. It
is quite a different matter. however, for
residents Of more recent date to COM
prehend the amazing strides of the city
within that period
Reference to the files OF newspapers
published In Los Angeles a quarter OF
a century ago give a vivid mental pic
ture of the city In "auld lang syne"
For instance. in the issue of local
paper just twenty-five years ago we
find this suggestive bit of home news:
we are indebted to Capt Stanley for
some magnificent apples of the belle
heur variety which were grown upon
his place in Vernon about three miles
from the city"
The hamlet called Vernon, as thus
alluded co. was absorbed by Los An
geles and Incorporated with the city
several years ago. Today the whilom
hamlet. "three miles from the city," Is
intervening three miles now comprise
Il thickly populated portion of the city,
where many thousands of thrifty citi-
zens enjoy beautiful and happy homes.
And far beyond the olden-time Vernon
the city has expanded, street after
street. with dotting OF homes two
miles or more beyond the point that
was "three miles from the city" when
the lucky ed tor was presented with
those magnificent bellehleurs."
But the wonderful expansion of the
city, as indicated, has as it's counterpart
in every other point of the compass.
Following the early trend southwest
ward, a similar sweep. but Of higher
grade in improvements, moved directly
westward, finally evolving trans
formation unparalleled anywhere in
equal time. Similar expansion has oc-
Cured, relatively, in all other direc-
tions.
Even in the eastern section, which
cause of the river impeachment and lack
of convenient accessibility, the out
reach of improvement has extended
miles beyond the river, and now
is teeming with a large population en-
joying slightly and cozy homes.
And what of the future? Is it not
as plain as the nose OH your face" that,
in view of the present doubling of the
city's population at the rate of once in
five or six years, the points now
three miles from the city" will soon
be street checkerboards. covered with
homes of the second quarter million of
Los Angeles people who will be here a
few years hence?

NEW YORKS TURN TODAY

Today a spectacle may be witnessed
recently witnessed in the Golden state
The scene of the spectacle in New York
will be the city of Buffalo. 1t may be
in one respect an exact reproduction
of one presented a few days ago in the
city of Sacramento.
The exhibition in New York's great
lake city, like the one in California =
capital, will probably be the figurative
clutch of a Democratic convention upon
the scruff trousers slack of w. p.
Hearst, and the violent projection of
that person down and out.
The New York state Democratic con-
vention will meet today. Every scheme
and device known in the substratum of
New York politics has been worked to
the limit in the effort to pack the con-
vention with Hearst's henchmen. The
Hearst barrel has been tapped fol
the purpose, as credibly reported
from the big city, to the ex-
tent of s1,OOO,OOO. The yellow news
paper organs of the aspirant have been
for many weeks sown broadcast over
the state, promising to supporters OF
Hearst everything desirable except
tickets of admission within the pearly
gates.
But the Democracy of New York
state, although slow to wrath, is eX-
ceptionally vigorous III action wher
thoroughly aroused, Democratic pa
tience with the pretension of Hearst
had been oozing out for a long time
but the last of it was exhausted when
Hearst proclaimed himself traitor
to the party, organized his Independ-
ence league of reregades and presented
the ultimatum that he would defeat the
Democratic ticket il the convention
dared TO refuse his demand for the
gubernatorial nomination.
Now the duty devolves upon the New
York Democrats, through their repre-
sentatiVes at the Buffalo convention
to follow the example of their brethren

about the conventions response to the
sentiment Of loyal Democrats in al
parts of the state. The sum of 81 ,OOO,,

ing it for weeks in every county. Ir
the cities, especially New York anC
Buffalo, Hearst money is said to have
been flowing like water from. AN ar

But the barrel, the promises and tn,

cerned, is expected to be a repe

Los Angeles is a very courteous and
accommodating city. Because a circus
desired to give performance on Sum
day, the city council held a meeting late
Saturday night and repealed two or
dina noes which prohibited circuses on
Sunday. Visitors to Los Angeles are
made happy, even if we have to repeal
all the laws and make an occasional
swipe at the constitution. Real Spanish
hospitality still prevails here.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-25

The scheme of the machine to put up
all the Venice ticket, by petition of
voters, as an Independent ticket, is
fraud on the face of it. Voters should
beware of attaching their names to any
petition which carries with it the whole
Venice ticket. 1t is the last effort of
ratified and desperate railroad bosses
to save the machine from destruction.
