What Is . Pullman Portera

A Pullman porter is half owner of
Pullman palace car. What does
he look like? He is as black as a
politicians soul, and has hands that
resemble hams. A porter is a legiti-
mate train-robber, and his business il
the collecting of surplus (?) money
from passengers. Is he not paid by
the company? No; porters are only
half paid by their employers, because
they are supposed to extract their
bafan e from the dead easy American
public. What are his duties. His
first duty is to make the passengers
feel comfortable; instead of doing this
he makes them feel like dirty deuces
in a new pack until they have come
up with the mazuna!" After he gets
his blood money, the one who has
been bled is treated as though he was
the ace of trumps. Isn't this pretty
rough on porters? Well, we have
travelled from coast to coast four
times, and we have seen but two ex-
ceptions. All alike!

The night Of March promises to
be lively one in U. C. T. circles, for
on that night the annual election of
officers takes place with the ushering
out of the old and breaking Of the new
fiscal year.
Members of the local Council No. 81
are looking forward to this Saturday
night with interest for in addition to
the election and installation Of officers
it is expected that a large class of
candidates will be initiated into the
ranks. Already fifty applications are
in with more being added every day
as every effort is being to round up
those who are DESTROYS of joining the
lodge but who through various causes
have not as yet gone through the in

BRYAN INJUDICIOUS.

Democratic senator's and representa-
tives are disposed to be rather critical
of recently announced plans Of Mr..
Bryan which seem to play into the
hands Of the republicans. While there
is very general disposition on the
part of Mr.. Bryan's enemies within
the party, as well as his friends, to
concede that he has always been able
to take good care of his own political
interests, there is considerable uneasi-
ness over the announcement that it is
his present purpose to put himself on
record, in the very near future, upon
the vexed problem of what the demo-
cratic platform of 1908 shall be.
Those who have no criticism to make
Of his decision are disposed to criticize
the method he has adopted for CIV
ing publicity to his views. Accord
ing to general understanding, he has
determined to confine his written ut
terances during the next ten or twelve
months to the pages of single month
ly magazine.
1t is understood that Mr.. Bryan will
advance, in those articles, some new
and, perhaps, startling theories of gov
eminent. Those of his friends who
take exception to his plans contend
that the political effect upon himself
and his party can only be harmful.
They argue that If Mr.. Bryan takes
extreme ground to which his party
may not follow him, manifestly he
will be in danger of eliminating him
self as factor in the next demo-
cratic national convention; while If,
on the other hand, there is anything of
real political value in his new theor-
les. he will by such premature pub
lication simply give the republicans
an opportunity to steal the desirable
features Of his platform, as he claims
they have done in the past.
Efforts have been made to reach Mr..
Bryan by letter and telegraph, but so
far as is known, these have been un-
successful. He is somewhere in Cali
fornia. Some Of his friends are seek
ing to advise him that he runs a SER
ious risk of prejudicing his own in
terests. and perhaps those of his party
by making SO far in advance an alb
solutely categorical statement of the
principles upon which he will take his
party's nomination. They would pre-

THE SAFE WAY.

The possibility of defalcations could
be very largely reduced if securi-
ties were registered in the name of
the institution owning them. Indeed,
this precautionary measure would not
only prevent defalcations but would
also prove most useful in case of fire
OF other destruction.
Practically all that defaulter gets
away with is coupon bonds. These
are payable to bearer, pass from hand
to hand, and are cash to whoever has
them innocently in his possession.
You never hear of an Official stealing
stodks.. The reason is simple, he
cannot do it. In order to transfer
stocks there must be produced writ
ten authority. The trustees or the
executive committee of bank must
vote to permit the transfer, or the
agents will refuse to issue the new
certificates. 1t is the same with reg
istered bonds. They cannot be realiz-
ed upon without delay and red tape.
Neither are they good for anything to
steal. Some corporations refuse to
issue registered bonds, but will reg
lister the principal of coupon bonds,
leaving the coupons attached to be
taken of as they mature. Bonds of
that sort could not be disposed of
honestly without written authority.
On the other hand there are simple
coupon bonds, good to bearer. These
are quickest realized upon in case
of sudden CALL" That is the ex-
PLANTATION of their wider use. It is
true that very rare occasions come
along when it is desirable to raise
money in hurry. The case has been
cited Of foreign fire insurance COM
panies, which have their American
securities registered transferable only
by vote Of the home officials. When
the San Francisco disaster set every
insurance company to raising money,
these bonds could not be sold or
pledged until certified copies of votes
taken thousands of miles away had
been received. That was an annoy
ance but after all trivial one, for
there is sixty-days' leeway in pay
ment of policies.
