The Appeal to Policyholders.

The international policyholders'
committee Of the New York Life and
Mutual Life of New York have issued
their first circular to policyholders, in
which is explained the manner Of vot-
ing for directors. From this it appears
that the committee has until Sept. 18
to complete Its ticket for directors.
The ticket will be mailed to policy
holders on Oct. 18, together with in
structions how to vote, and the policy
holders have until Dec. 18 to return
their ballots. All proxies heretofore
given are revoked by law and no new
proxies can be given until after Oct.
l8. The purpose Of the committee g
present circular Is to urge policyhold-
ers not to give proxies at all, but do
their own voting. This seems the sim
pie, direct, American and righteous
thing to do, but it is evident that pres
sure will be brought to bear upon mem
bers of the companies to give proxies
This will come from agents of the com.
panies. Every man who has ever had
favor done him by a general agent
In the matter Of protecting q policy on
which there was an overdue premium
for example, will be approached by and
urged to give his proxy to his friend
It will be represented to him that the
fight is merely between two sets OF
candidates, equally good. but that II

Trespass, Old and New.

The Princetown Union chides the
twin city papers for not giving the MS
tory of the Shevlin Carpenter trespass
case, in which the supreme court de-
cided the validity Of the timber trespass
law. The point which the Union wishes
to emphasize is that the trespass was
committed after r. G. Dunn s term Of
office, and was condoned' by the
state timber board, including Governor
Van SAINT ard State Auditor Iverson.
That is cheerfully granted. The tres
pass was committed in the winter of
19O9-1904, and consisted in cutting the
timber after the permit had expired.
The state timber board, tho without
any authority. then indorsed settle
ment on the basis Of single value with
interest. That settlement is Disregard
ed by the decision. ... ~
There is reason why most Of the
trespass cases now pending date later
than the Dunn administration. Most of
the fragrant cases uncovered in the rec
ords Of that administration are out
lawed. The state has foolishly allowed
the statute Of limitations to operate
against itself, and what was wasted
under Dunn is nearly all "spilt milk. ,
The Union threatens to do some
undertaking in the timber trespass rec
ords later on. An excellent idea. Thil
| solicitude for strict enforcement of the
law. is praiseworthy, altho somewhat
belated.
The Minneapolis journal., 1906-08-11
will be better for the agent if the. pres

will be better for the agent if the pres
ent regime is retained.
Policyholders ought to fortify them
selves against such appeals and against
all appeals for proxies, and do their
own voting. The present contest is
test Of whether a mutual insurance
company can really be mutualized.
The policyholders ticket, If elected,
will go forward with reforms in the
management which will be productive
of further profits to the policyholders.
The other ticket will be interested In
CLOSING over the evils Of the past and
letting the "agitation' die. 1t is not
to the interest of the policyholders that
compromisers with wrong be put on
guard.

MORAL EFFECTS OF QUICKLY Ac-
QUIRED WEALTH.-A vitality interest
ing study could be that of the moral eff
feet of quickly acquired wealth, if one
were able to pursue it closely. A novel
containing such a study Is Saints In So
ciety, by Margaret Baillie-Saunders. It
is the story Of a British printer who be-
comes a labor leader, gets into parliament.
acquires a newspaper, becomes rich, and
turns his back on his former constitu-
ents under the influence of woman Of
the aristocracy. Offsetting this charac-
ter is his wife, who in the poverty of
her early life is narrow and selfish, but
under the influences Of the truly philan-
thropic associates Of her husband, ripens
into a woman of beautiful and benefi-
cent character. The story has real
strength, tho the characters are only
moderately we'll drawn, and the ending
tho happy is cheap and weak.

1.-THE LADY EVELYN."-It seems
rather a pity that Max Pembertons 'The
Lady Evelyn should have been issued so
late in the summer, for it is without
doubt one of the best vacation novels Of
the year.
This book Of his is a distinct surprise
even for Pemberton. Before the reader
can catch his breath from one set of emo
tions, he is plunged into another. At ex-
press train speed "The Lady Evelyn"
flashes along with never a stop Of dreary
pathology or moralizing; never an uphill
grind of dry detail. Action, mystery, love
and then action again. That Is the
keynote; a keynote that never jars or de-
scends to discord. ''The Lady Evelyn is
vibrant with the liveliest action, senti-
ment of battling mystery and intrigue,
and instinct with human nature.
It would be unfair to the reader to
| make any pretense' at outlining the plot
| of this extraordinary work. 1t must be
read. And it will number it's readers by
the ten thousand.
"The Lady Evelyn is published with
an entirely new book selling system. 1t
is the third Of series of new copy
righted novels that will be placed with
the reading public under a. system that

This is the modern way of reaching

THE MAGAZINES

After Exposure-What?-S persons
are inclined to take rather gloomy view
of the campaign of exposure which has
been going on for the past two years.
They remember outbreaks of reform that
happened long ago and that were fol-
lowed by reaction which left things pre-
cisely where. they We're before Hence
some say that all this struggle for re-
form and for the publication of our pol
itical and business life will not insure
us against like evils in the future. In a
certain sense this is quite true. Certain
reformers write and talk as tho, having
accomplished their reforms, the land will
be forever after clean and sweet, with
every man going about his private busi-
ness untroubled, unoppressed, and un-
afraid. Naturally no such dream is des-
tined to come true in such a world as
ours. It is our belief that before
long there will everywhere be seen con-
crete results to Justify all the clamor and
the shouting and the sickening work
which have been necessary to the task
of purging and purifying.-From Here and
