WOMEN PAY MORE.
Why insurance Companies Discriminate Against
the Gentle Sex.

If one is to believe the medical exam
iners the reason a woman pays more for
the privilege of life insurance is that She
is much more commonly a victim of indi-
gestIon and stomach troubles and the
fatal ailments that spring from these
causes.
1t is not the acute attacks of disease
that influence the insurance examineEs
alone, but the constant feelings of weabf
ness. headache, indigestion and stomach
trouble. These things, physicians saw,
kill more people than many of the ser
ious diseases.
- For curative power i'm all stomach
troubles nothing else is as safe yet effect.
i've, nothing else can be so thoroughly
relied upon to relieve all troubles of indi-
gestion, as Mi-o-na. 1t, is unlike any
remedy heretofore known; it is not a
mere digestive tablet; it strengthens and
restores to natural action the stomach
and bowels and makes complete cure
in even the worse form of stomach trou.

When the statehood bill was under

that there is large Mormon consti-

the startling statement was made

the late presidential campaigns made
a political bargain with some of the
Mormon apostles that II the Mormon
vote was cast In Utah and other states

should be no further Legislation

with the Mormons entered into by the
Republican national is about TO lead

explains theoretically why the Steel
trust and the Money trust are not
disturbed by our "cantankerons

are good trusts"-good To the Re-,
publican politicians, at least. But
there can be. in the estimation OF an
honest man. no such thing as good
trust since the very raison d etre az
every trust is monopoly and extortion
This is shown by the history Of such
combinations. The first time the trust
was known by that name was i'm lSSe

IN the hands OF nine trustees" who
fixed both buying and selling prices
OF petroleum and refined oils and ln-
bricants. They compelled the rail
roads TO give them rebates. and In
that way destroyed competition.
Soon after this the Sugar trust was
organized on the same plan, and pur.
sued similar methods. Then the trust
era set in, and all other business was
by degrees monopolized One cor

The Presidential Shuttle

Since the delivery of President
Roosevelts Provincetown speech. il
las developed that he had sent comics
TO the press containing a hichJv i'm
portant paragraph which he eliminat.
ed when he came to deliver the
speech. In the advance COPIES he
said:
Our aim is TO try TO do something
effective. Having this in view. the
department OF Justice has recently
taken steps to see IL ii is not possible.
In certain contingencies and for Ger
tain purposes, to put the trusts that
are guilty OF wrongdoing In the hands
OF receivers. The purpose OF the ad-
mnistration is to stamp out the evil:
that we shall seek 10 find the most
effective device for this purpose: and
that We shall then use II, whether the
device can be found in existing law
or must be supplied by legislation"
The idea that the administration is
able to assure supply OF new legis-
lation to suit purposes is as bad as the
receivership proposition. Both indi-
cate utter contempt for the constitu-
ton and for congress. The wonder
is that President Roosevelt was able
to perceive this when pointed out to
him.
But Il would appear that the presi
dent still believes in the receivership
program for in the suit against the
tobacco trust the attorney general
prays the court 10 appoint receivers
for the corporation, with its 81 sub
sidiary companies. If the public inter
ests may thereby be conserved Why
