Insurance Politics,

: That the grafters of the big insur-
ance companies would not surrender
control Of the assets without a struggle
went without saying, but nobody was
prepared for the depths Of practical
politics to which. they appear prepared
to descend in their desperate effort to
retain control.
Under the Armstrong laws it was pro-
vided that the administration might
file ticket for directors and that the
opposition to that administration might
also file a ticket. The policyholders
were to vote by mail and the men Sc
lected by these votes should be the d.
rectors. The administration in both
companies has fled it's nominees, but
not content with that it has crossed the
lines and attempted to interfere with
the nominations of the policyholders
committee. First the Mutual named
three members of the policyholders
committee on it's list against their pro-
test and refused to take their names off
the ticket. Then the Mutual seized the
policyholders nominees by stealth and
has gotten out a ''fusion'' ticket on
which appear the names of fifteen of
the policyholders candidates. Fifteen
other candidates of the fusion ticket
are members of the administration cir
Gle. Thus it would appear that by
trickery the administration would hold
half the board at least and when the
board organizes attempt to keep it's
control.
Now if the investigation Of the New
York Life and Mutual Life meant any.
. thing it meant that the whole board of
each company was thoroly discredited
Not all the members participated in
the looting thru syndicates and groups
of fnanciers, but all were guilty in the
fact that they allowed these things tc
60 on. They failed in their duty as
trustees and should be removed. The
polcyholders committee has removed
them all by making fresh nominations
The policyholders are in danger of be
Ing befogged by the actions Of the
shrewd politicians on the other side
The agency force Of both companies il
being used turnout the country to gel
Tho votes Of policyholders for the flu
sion or the administration ticket. The
less said about the methods employed
by the ms the better it will be for thu
reputation Of the present directors, bu
at the same time 1t is fair to warn pol
icyholders that their true interests dc
not necessarily coincide with the inter
|! ests Of the agents. They are not I'm
/ der obligations to agents. Their deal
ings with them were purely those O.
business. But the agents are under OBJ
/ legations to the management. The,
are not the best witnesses as to tn
i character Of the men offered for trus
| teeship. The best witness is the his
tory of the companies under the Mccall
and McCurdy regimes.

Thorne, N. D., Sept. 24.-Grading
has just been completed on the extern
sion of the Great Northern from Thorne
to Dunseith and tracklying and the
work of completing the extension is to
begin at once. Ties and new iron now
are being loaded at this point, and the
assembling of material for depot and
other railroad buildings at Dunseith is
under way.
The grading crews, which have just
completed their work here, will be
shipped to Berthold, from which place
the road is to construct branch north
ward via Kenmare, paralleling the 500
line which runs to Portal. This new
line is to be completed next year in
time for the handling of the crop Of

Gus farming community and give the

The advice is good, but the insurgents
are too much indamed to consider it.

There are ITS republican candidates
for the legislature. OF this number 1852
are pledged in writing to support Sem
ator Nelson; thirteen have given verbal
promises Of their preference for his re-
election; seven are openly opposed and
three are Indifferent. With more than 80
per cent of the republican membership
favorable to his reelection it does not ap-
pear as if the: senior senator had much
cause of anxiety about the name of the
occupant Of his seat in the senate. This
is certainly very fattering testimonial
regards himself as engaged to serve the
people diligently and intelligently and
who works hard at his job.

vention as something not to be thought
Of without fear and distrust.
A forceful argument and clever one
is it's appeal to the Cuban negro not to
be party to American domination be-
cause the negro in the United States is
not treated as well by his white neigh
Dor as the Cuban negro is treated by
the whites in Cuba. The following is
an extract from an editorial in La Dis
custom written in the impassioned style
peculiar to the journalism of the Latin
countries: -.
Strangers in our land, we would look
upon our glorious sun and it's rays
would be- pale to our eyes. Our balmy
breezes would burn our cheek. Our
rivers would seem to tempt us to a
peaceful tom b. The murmur Of our seas
would seem to call us to flee the adored
land In which we were born. -
Beside us would pass with jingling
spurs and berry leer the American off
Ger, master of all, and drawing all to
himself, even the smiles and chances
OF our adorable virgins
And is it for this that Cubans are
lighting against Cubans9
Liz SURVIVORS Oh our heroic ana holy
struggles for independence rending one
another and opening the way for the
entrance of Fins, Germans, Americans,
and Spaniards, who shall come to enjoy
the fecundity and richness Of our soil,
the freshness of our air, the murmur of
our rivers, the sweetness Of our pale
moonit nights, the caresses of our seas
and even the love Of our women.
This republic, so rich, 50 youthful, so
beautiful, so envied by all, is it to be
cast out and delivered to the Yankee,
merely because elections were carried
out we'll or ills
Are there not to be, after all, more
elections, and are there not other means
to make these elections be as they
should than the placing Of our neck I'M.
der the heel Of Uncle Samq
This war can have but one end: in.
tervention! -Cubans! Look the truth
straight in the face and realize it's hor.
ror! Throw down all your weapons
and CLASP, your protecting arms around
young Cuba! ..
The advice is good, but the insurgents
are too much inflamed to consider it.

CAMPAIGN ON CHANGE
Grain Men Are Looking Forward to
Election Day.

The annual election of the Minneapo-
lis Chamber of Commerce, to be held
Oct. 4, has stirred up interest as to
changes in the directorate and on the
important elective boards of arbitra-
tion and appeal: "
For the leading offices there is no
competition. Peter B, Smith is presi-
dent of the Chamber and John D. Nc
MILAN vice president. The. Chamber
was never more prosperous and more
free from internal or external trouble
than at present and is in splendid con-
dition financially.
The feeling Of satisfaction with the
present policy is SO general that Mr..
Smith s reelection seems certain.

SUNRISE

As on my bed at dawn I unused and prayed
saw my lattice prank upon the wall,
The Haunting leaves and fitting birds withal-
A sunny phantom interlaced with shade
Thanks be to heaven in happy mood I said
"What sweeter aid my mathis could befall
Than this fair glory from the east hath made
What holy slefghts hath God, the Lord of all
To bid feel and see? We are not free
To say we see not, for the glory comes
Nightly and daily, like the flowing sea-
His ulster pierces thru the midnight glooms
And at prime hours behold! he follows me
With golden shadows to my secret rooms

William Allen Whites Sermon.-The
American Magazine. under it's new edi-
torship, publishes in it's October number
a remarkable article on 1.-THE Partnership
of Society,"" by William Allen White. 1t
IS in essence a great sermon. It says in
part:
Money does not pass current in the real world
OF service. 1t is false coin there. Church
men need not worry about tainted money. II
1t Is tainted, God will not accept it. For what
God, needs in this world is not money but
serv1ce-servtce that comes from the Godim
planted instinct to help, ones fellows. The
failures Of this life may heap the golden ev
dences Of their failures mountain high, anG
donate them to the cause Of righteousness, anG
they will avail less THANH the testimony ant
the honest service Of one poor man who has
succeeded by living manfully. Men cannot chea
and steal and kill and Cypress their fellows
and then buy their way into the happiness tina
comes from real usefulness to mankind; Tho
peace that passeth understanding is not to BIZ
purchased with stolen money, even tho the rob
Der shall present it a sacrifice, and even tht
he shall lay it upon the altar in seven figures
The millionaire Of today may not buy indul
gences any more than the rich man Of Martin
Luther's time. Money has it's place in ou
| social organization. It can feed the bodies o.
men; but a dollar million dollars never
fed soul. For souls grow only as life has
grown on this planet by service to ones fellow
creatures. ,,t
