Compared with the home rule bills
Of 1886 and 1906 the measure now be-
fore the British parliament, IL adopted,
will confer but a semblance Of self

council to control certain departments
Of the administration of Ireland's home
affairs. Out of log councllmen SO are
to be elected by Irish votes and "A

tenant OF Ireland, acting for the crown,
may nullify the measures of the coun-
ell and also control, the constabulary of
Ireland, a state oflthings that has al
ways been thornIin the flesh of the
Irish people.
Briefly, the new bill Is a halfway
measure, pleasing to NO political party.
The council is to control the board of
local government, agriculture, public
works, national education and reforma-
tory institutions, under the approval al

by the crown, and the lord lieutenant

at the Henley regatta in England. for

says that the Boston Athletic assocla-

view Of the stand taken by the Henley
stewards last winter to discourage the

probable that the entry of either Titus

last issue II was reported TO us that
II had robbed a widow OF the death
benefit due on her husbands policy.
We md the facts to be these:
Dan Miller, who died few weeks
asn. AASpsssd to have taken down
ssck asrtsg the absence Of his wife
from the city. They were stopping
with Mr.. and Mrs Turk of at04 Wal
nut street and II is from Mrs Turk
that We secure our information. Mr..
Miller was an Industrious man who
maintained his various o 5ligations.
and before his death asserted that
he was In good standing with the in
surance company. and TO the knowl.
edge OF Mrs. Turk. did offer and had
accepted by the company $500 on
his weekly premiums abou, the time
he was taken sick
After his death. Mrs. Miller, who
had come to the city. showed his
papers TO an agent OF the Western
Life and Accident company. who took
advantage OF her ignorance OF the
provisions OF his policy AMI the i'm
port OF the payments credited In his
book, and told her that she was not
entitled TO death benefit for Mr..
Miller had allowed his policy to lapse.
Then for fear that investigation might
disclose the truth. forced Mrs. Miller
into acQuiescins In the burning OF
the papers and did this at once. dur.
ing the short interval Mrs. Turk was
from the room.

book would by inference constitute
the strongest ground for believing
that the Western has defrauded Mrs.
Miller out of more than 500. Why
should these papers be burned II they
were worthless7 Why should the
agent attempt this while Mrs. Turk
was out OF the room, The strong
arm of the insurance department has
been used to correct previous wrong
doings al this concern And but fpe
the utter lack Of documentary evil
dence would be called to the widows S
rescue
We take this occasion 10 warn all
policy holders In this company TO
read their policies. Do not be misled
by the statements OF It's agents. Know
for yourself II is one OF the compan-
les that has the outrageous cancella-
ton clause whereby It can take from
any policy holder protection at any
time and with such sinister arbitrary
power II would seem that II should
be satisfied and not stoop TO imposing
on poor widows In their hour of be-
reavment.
Thank goodness for one thing. The
new insurance law OF Colorado goes
into effect in July with grace until
December and after that time unless
the Western can raise $4,000 II will
be out OF business and its power for
wrong doing gone. Colorado Springs
and Denver Negroes are the main sup
port of II and they will hardly be
bamboozled out OF enough to make
up the $4,000 or $4,000 deficit

WATER WORKS

Is it not about time for the town of Wrangell to wake up in the matter of water works2
 The fire was a hard blow to the town, but splendid natural resour- ces of the town has enabled most of the losers to recoup at least part of their losses in the fire, and see their way open to be even again.
 But what of the future? No fire protection, no insurance, and the town is in danger of similar exper- fences as the great fire all the time. Is not the town like children play ing with fire over a powder cask?
 The Chamber of Commerce has appointed a committee to, if prac- tical, organize company for put ting in water works. It is useless to wait for outside capital, for the outside capital don't como. Sc, then, every property holder should be awake in regard to this matter, and be willing to make sacrifices to put in water works and thus pre- serve his own property.-Contrib- uted?
 Yes' It is the height of folly to put off the installation of a perfect and adequate supply of water. The writer of the above contribution says "the outside capital don't
