Senator Dryden's Prudential
Insurance 90. Disclosed.
Report Made Public Showing the
Enormous Dividends Reg
ularly Paid.

The life insurance Investigating COM
mittee Of the state of New Jersey has
made public a report concerning the
Prudential Insurance Company, of
Newark, N. J.. at the head Of which
is John F. Dryden, recently defeated
for reelection as United States Sen
ator.
The Prudential was originally or
ganized In 1873 and was known as the
Widows and Orphans Benefit society.
Two years later it became the Pruden-
tial Friendly society and in 1877 its
name was again changed to the Pru-
dentiol Insurance company Of Amer
lea. In 1881, Mr.. Dryden, who had
previously been secretary Of the or
ganization, became it's president.
The report Of the committee says
that the original investment of the
stockholders was only $4,000. This
stock was subsequently increased te
@,OO0,o00 through stock dividends
On this investment the stockholders
have been. receiving 10 per cent pei
| annum, or 100000 per year on theil
investment Of $4,000. The surplus OF
the company is $18,580,000 and this
| immense sum is claimed in behalf OF
the stockholders. In 1902, through {

NEW FARE RATE NOT
POPULAR AT LA CROSSE

LA CROSSE, Wis. March 13.-The
new 21a cent passenger rate which
just went into effect on Wisconsin rail-
roads is raising O. storm of protest
from merchants of La Crosse, on the
theory that while 1t will be a benefit
to the merchants Of Milwaukee and to
travellers going the entire distance
across the state, 1t works to the dis
advantage Of La Crosse merchants by
increasing the railroad fare from near
by villages and towns.
Many instances have been found in
the new tariffs published by the rail-
roads in which the fare from towns
within radius Of fifty or seventy five
miles Of this city has been increased
since the adoption Of the 21l cent rate.
From Westby to La Crosse under
the old system a fare Of $1.O5 was al
lowed, while under the new straight
rate, with charge according to actual
mileage, the fare is $1.10.
1t is concluded by local merchants

NV Greed,

Do not keep the alabaster boxes
of your love and tenderness sealed
up until your friends are dead. Fill
their lives with sweetness. Speak ap-
proving, cheering words while their
ears can hear them, and while their
hearts can be thrilled and made
happier by them; the kind things
you mean to say when they are
gone, say before they go. The flow
ers you mean to send for their cof-
fins, send to brighten and sweet
en- their homes before they leave
them. If my friends have alabaster
boxes laid away, full of fragrant
perfumes of sympathy and affec-
ton, which they intend to break
over my dead body, 1 would rather
they would bring them out in my
weary and troubled hours, and open
them, that I may be refreshed and
cheered by them while I need them.
I would rather have a plain coffin
without flower, a funeral without
an eulogy, than a life without the
sweetness of love and sympathy. Let
us learn to anoint our friends be-
forehand for their burial. Post
norton kindness does not cheer the
troubled spirit. Flowers on the cof-
fin cast no fragrance backward over
l1fe's weary Selected

CANS AND NELSON MEN
FAIL TO make Terms
Cans Is Giving Nelson's Manager
q Dose of His Own
Medicine.
Demands 60 Per Cent of Purse
Win, Loose or
%1~:1 ~ Draw.

Representatives Of Joe Cans and
Battling Nelson held conference at
San Francisco recently. Ben Selig,
representing the dusky champion de-
livered an ultimatum. These are the
conditions under which Cans will fight
Nelson for the lightweight champion
ship, as laid down by Selig: Weight 1873
pounds at the ringside, stripped; purse,
$4,000 offered by Ely, New, Fighting
club. throud Ned Ricard, the clubs
representative. Division of money:
Cans to receive 60 per cent Of the purse
win, lose or draw Referee to be
mutually agreed upon. Date July 4,
1907.
These terms, Cans announces, and
unless Nelson agrees to them there will
be no fight. Billy Nolan, Nelson's man.
ager, is speeding Westward. He was
telegraphed the conditions imposed by
Cans yesterday morning at Cleveland,
and he answered: will arrive in
Chicago this afternoon, and talA over
the match. Conditions of Cans is out
OF question. There will be no bonus for
signing. Will split with him any way
| he wants, but there will be no win,
lose or draw conditions, where by Cans
gets the best Of the PURSE
Foxey Nolan Is up against his own
game. The, only way that Cans could
get a fight with Nelson before was for
a purse of $30,cu0, and Nelson should
get $4,000 win or lose Now the cham
pion is giving them the same medicine
back and I think it is no more then
right. The old maxim is do others the
way they do you.

MITCHELL'S RIGHT HAND MAN.
Is Clever Woman ,Expert-Knows
the Secrets of the Organization.

Miss Morris, John Mitchell's pri-
vate secretary, is a practical little
woman of probably twenty-five, with
fluffy, blonde hair, an almost tip
tilted nose, and keen, dark blue eyes
screened by nose glasses.
She is known to all the miners,
! who respect her and regard her as
the one person who, next to John
Mitchell, knows more about an
thracite miners than any one else
in America. She is the one woman
who knows all the secrets of the
union, and has known them since
1899. And she has the regard of
every man in the organization. In
fact, John Mitchell's right-hand
man is a woman and very clever
one at that:

SAID BY DERS-

The old hand tool was used by a
single worker-and owned bv him who
used 1t. The machine requires a thou
sand or ten thousand workers to oper-
ate it, but they do not own it, and
what they produce with it does not 20
to them, but to the capitalist who does
own it.
No successful capitalist wants COM
petition-for himself-he only wants
it for the working class, so that he
can buy his labor power at the lowest
competitive price in the labor market.
The simple truth is, that competition
In industrial life belongs to the past,
and Is practically outgrown. The time
is approaching when it will be no long,
er possible.
The labor movement, has also it's
political side and the trades unionist
must be educated to realize the i'm
portance and to understand that the
political side Of the movement must be
unionized as well as'the economic side;
and that he is not in fact, union man
at all who, although member of the
| union on the economic side, is a non
unionist on the political side. and while
striking for, votes against the working
class.
| Trades unions work we'll as centers
of resistance against the encroac h-
ments of capital. They fail partially
from an injudicious use, Of their power
They fail generally from limiting them
selves to a guerilla war against the
efforts Of the existing system, instead
| of simultaneously trying to change it,
instead of using their organized forces
as a lever for the final emancipation
Of the working class, that is to say,
the ultimate abolition Of the wage sys-
tenn. ..
Not for a moment do we despair of
the future. The greatest educational
propaganda ever known Is spreading
| over the earth. The working class will
both see and understand. They have
the inherent power Of self develop
ment. They are but just beginning to
come into consciousness OF their pow
er, and with the first glimmerings ,of
this consciousness the capitalist sys-
ter1h Is doomed. It may hold on for q
time. FOR even long time, but It's
doom - sealed.
