FRIDAY EVENING. MAR. 20. 1906.

TIVE American Federation of Labor
has publicly announced that it will sub
nit its issues to the people should II
fail TO meet satisfactory response TO
its appeals from the powers that be-
That they have an undoubted right to
follow such a course will be contro-
yerted by no one. Labor has its nights
under our American institutions which
should be respected. 1t is hoped, how
ever. that the labOriDg element VIII
consider closely the events which are
likely to follow such a procedure. Lett
10 themselves, the country would prob
ably have but little to spprehend, as the
bulk of men who toll and spin for their
daily bread are for the most part law
abiding people, having wives and little
ones. in whom they take an honest
pride depending upon them for susten-
,ation. Many own their own homes
aud are disposed to follow the even tenor
of their way wilhOu. envying the opulen;
or those more favored in other ways.
Il is not, therefore, the rank and file OF
laboring men who are jealous Of those
whose paths they imagine are
s,rewn with more flowers than their
own, but the danger is TO be APP
pretended from thoughtless leaders and
those who are watching every oppor-
unity to mount labor as a hobby. This
class is composed mostly OF men VINO are
not mechanics or wOrkmen OF any s0rl,
who 20 froei place to place and endeavor
10 make those who are honestly fulfilling
their calling disconnected. The social
islic party has made rapid strides ID
this country during the past few years,
and its leaders will naturally be the
first to open the door and invite the
labOring element into lis fold. Once
within the graduation is rapid. Social
ism is but the primary department, and
before long doctrines more repulsive
will doubtless be inculcated until all the
isms of continental Europe may head up
in the American republic. This will be
natural, as it will be impossible to keep
out nihilists, anarchists, red republicans
and others who inveigh against all forms
of government. 1t is hoped, therefore,
that the federation will keep alOof from
dangerous combinations, and should they
make their appeal at the polls repudiate
all elements seeking fusion which would
bring disfavor upon the working man

Washington, March 90.
SENATE.

The expected fight in the Senate over
the selection of conferrees on the state
hood bill did not msteriaize today
Immediately after the Senate met,
Mr.. Foraker announced his withdrawal
of the motion that the Senate appoint
The conferrees to the b. instead of eay-
ing the selection to the chairman Of the
committee having the bill 10 charge.
This decision was the result of an
agreement between Mr. Beverage,
representing those who insisted upon the
bill in original shape, providing for the
creation of two States out OF four terri
tories, and DIR. Foraker, representing
the victorious majority which slrucx
New Mexico aud Arizona from the
m easure.
In withdrawing his motion Mr. For
aker stated that the Indiana Senator had
giyen assurances that the action Of the
Senate would be faithfully upheld.
Without objection, Senators Beve-
ridge, Dillingham;, aud Patterson were
named as conferrees.
Without opposition, the Calberson
resolution, calling upon the Secretary Of
War to send to the Senate full copies
OF all reports relating to the Moro battle
at Mount Dsjo, was agreed to.
Mr.. Spoouer then took the floor to

The Growing Of cOwpeas for FOr.rs Seed.
Agricultural Letter.

weekly Agricultural letter.
The growing OF cowpeas for hay is
becoming quite common IN many parte
OF Missouri. The frequent failure Of
clover on many of our more level
prairie lands is partly respon sible for
this practice. In fact the cowpea has
several advantages over clover as a
hay crop when properly handled.
They are much surer than clover,
requiring Only 80 DAYS to make a nrnn
instead Of two seasons, and unless
properly cured, the hay Is less duty
and just as nutritious. The dis.
advantages lie in the greater time
required to cuIe and the resulting
uncertainty Of recurring a well cured
hay.
1t has been the practice at the
experiment station when sowing peas
for hay TO put them in with a grain
drill A. the rate Of 4 or S pecks per
acre every hoe Of the drill running.
In this case the ground is tbicSly
covered and weeds kept down The
thick planting also gives a much finer
texture 10 the bay but it has the dis.
advantage Of not giving as much seed
as where the plants are thinner For
large production of hay per acre
however it is superior to planting in
rows or TO thinner planting. II one
wishes TO go to the expense of
cultIvatlng, a saving Of seed is effected
by planting in rows. In this case a
corn planter IS often used, dou nc
the roNs and drilling the peas in at
the rate of 2 pecks per acre. This
brings the rows close enough together
to cover the ground well, it allows OF
the probation OF q large amount OF
seed and tire cultivation makes growthy
plants. Two or three civilizations are
usually gwen in this case. On good,
clean land peas may readily be planted
in this way and the cultivation omitted
bit under average conditions weeds
are apt to gain considerable Roadway
between the rows.
When grown for seed, peas are
always planted thin, usually in rows
and cultivated. The method Just
recommended Of planting with a
corn planter and cultivatlng is
recommended. Or they may be put
in as wire apart as corn rows, on good
land. The difficulties in the way of
handling seed thus far, are in getting
the peas properly harvested and
threshed, Ordinarily they are picked
by hand and failed out, but the bean
harvester or mower can be used with
fair results. There is necessarily a
loss when harvested in this way but it
is usually not enough to offset the
saving in labor. They may be
thresbed with an ordinary thresbing
machine by removing the concave and
substituting a board. A small pea
huller is also coming into use which
will undoubtedly lessen the cost and
labor Of tbeShing.
The curing Of cowpea hay is rather
difficult unless the weather is very
favorable. The large green stems dry
out slowly, about twice the time being
necessary as for the curing red clover,
II the hay is allowed to dry out
thoroughly in the swath the leaves

Enlightened Methods in Life Insur-


The Metropolitan Life Insurance
company of New York has just dis
tributed some official information in
the form of a statement which would
be quite unprecedented in the history
of life insurance were it not for the
fact that this same institution has be-
fore treated it's policy holders to SINH
lar surprises.
The company announces that it has
declared and is paying cash divi-
dend upon its Industrial Policies ma
turing in 1906. amounting to more
than two millions of dollars. The full
significance of this action is apparent
when the nature of the Metropolitan
Lies insurance contract is under
stood: This company is in no sense
mutual. 1t does not estimate" or
guess at what it will be able to pay an
insured person when his policy ma
lures. but agrees to pay a definite
specified sum in return for a definite,
specified premium paid by the insured
according to contract. In other words,
It sells insurance at what the protec-
ton is worth-not as an investment
nor as a speculation. Upon this basis
the cost to the person insured is of
course determined by past experience,
and as the factor of competition pre-
vents the exaction of too high a rate,
the premiums must always be as low
as safe administration of the business
will permit.
1t may be assumed, then, that pol
icy holder in the Metropolitan Life has
bought a definite amount OF insurance
at the lowest market rate. has agreed
to pay for it in definite sums at def
mite intervals, and has no more expec-
tation of extra benefits than he would
have in buying fire insurance or
house on similar terms.
1t happens; however, that this poll
cy holder is associated with a company
that, by skillful management. has had
phenomenal growth and prosperity. and
las the actual cost of individual insur-
ance decreases with each years in
crease in volume of business, there has
arisen a profit which the company
gives back to the source whence 1t
came-though no obligation to do so,
implied or expressed. exists in its con-
tracts. 1t has thus distributed approx
imately ten millions of dollars within
the past few years, and it is signifi-
cant indication of the company's pres
ent condition that the voluntary divi-
dend of two millions now being paid
is the largest yet declared in any one
year.
1t need not be assumed that the
Metropolitan Life desires to pose as
philanthropic institution Undoubtedly
its growth in popular favor and its ire
mendous accession of new business
year after year are in part due to this
voluntary application of profit. 1t may
be ''all business" but if SO, it is the
sort of broad gauge, open-handed bus
mess that might be widely initiated
with good results to all concerned.
