Il see by the papers," said Mr..
Grillnnby, that the last quotation for
whalebone in England was e1,750, or,
say. about $3.50 ton, making whale
bone worth now somewhere in the
neighborhood of $3.50 a pound-a
pretty costly commodity.
Il can remember the time when
whalebone was cheap, very cheap;
when we used to burn whale oil in
lamps and use whalebone for umbrella
ribs. Those old-time whalebone rib
bed umbrellas were not much like the
present steel ribbed close rollers.

The Governors Message.

Iwo-cent passenger fare, lower
freight rates and primary elections
are the prominent features of the
governors message. Starting out
with the premise that the people OF
Iowa cannot afford to have passed any
law which will inflict injury upon the
railroads. because they are dependent
for their material well being upon
the railroads as they are upon the
air they breathe for the continuance
OF life, he urges the legislators to
give thorough consideration to the
matter Of rates. He declares, how
ever, that experience has abundantly
shown that, with the privileges grant
ed to them by the law, they can take
care Of themselves much more effectu-
ally than the legislatures and con-
crosses can take care of the people.
He furnishes figures, which to his
mind, show that two-cent fare
would be sufficiently remunerative
and recommends that q law be passed
substituting a two-cent rate for the
present three-cent rate.
On the subject OF freight rates, the
governor calls attention to the fact
that they have not been changed es-
sentially in eighteen years, and says
he believes the present adjustment
OF rates is grossly unfair to the ship
pers OF the state. 1t Is suggested
that the railroad commissioner be
given authority to establish q general
schedule Of joint rates.
On the subject of demurrage, 1t Is
urged that the penalty should fall
alike upon the railroads and the ship
pers.
The governor gives 1t as his opinion
that II any advance is to be made in
the matter of primary elections, noml-
nations by pluralities must be adopted.
1t is urged that the anti-pass law be
so amended that 1t will conform to
the law Of the Unied Safes.
Continuous service of employees en-
gagged in the movement of railway
trains should be limited.
Contributions of corporations for |
political purposes should be prohibited |
and political committees and candi- |
dates should be required to publish |
their expenditures.
The professional lobbyist should be
abolished.
Election of United Senator's by di.
rect vote is strongly advocated.
Enlargement of the pure food law
to include live stock food Is urged.
The passage of law providing for
the indeterminate sentence Ia again
Something In the nature of agricul-
tural extension is urged In connection
with the state college at Ames, the
governor recommending that cores.

tragical unhappiness of the Thaws,
the Coreys, and the Hartjes, and GER
tainly no other cases have caused
greater distress to Cupid, the deity
OF all true lovers. 1t would seem that
the CLEAN of suddenly acquired mil
lions, as seen through the smoky at
mosphere of Pittsburg, is sufficient to
blind the eyes of love.
William e. Corey was ruined by Mr..
Carnegie, so Mr. Coreys uncle is re-
ported to have said. This was be-
cause Mr.. Carnegie put Mr.. Corey in
the way of becoming rich. The head
OF the great steel trust, looking for
pleasure and thrills" in the byways
of life, found only unhappiness. AS
the familiar saying goes, "he couldn't
stand prosperity" All the world is
familiar with the story of Mr. Corey's
spectacular rise in the world of fl
nance and of the alleged escapades
which caused his wife to leave him.
She obtained a divorce last summer
after living in the state of Nevada
long enough to acquire citizenship
under the liberal laws of that state.
In her bill she charged her husband
with desertion, but it generally was
understood that the family happiness
was wrecked by Mr.. Corey's public at
tentions to Mabelle Gilman, an act
ress.
The Hartje case Of Pittsburg made
the whole country gasp. 1t involved
grave charges against Mrs. Hartje
and her coachman and counter
charges on the part of the wife that
she was the victim of a conspiracy,
in which her husband-the man she
had loved and with whom she had
lived-sought to blast her reputation
by hired and periured testimony. This |
was one of the most notorious domes-
tic tragedies ever aired In any court |
of any land. 1t was worse even than |
the Tagagrt case. Alone it was enough |
matter of divorce.
In contrast with this the trouble of |
Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes and Wilson
Miner were almost farcical. Mr.. |
Yerkes, the traction magnate, died |
in New York in December last under
that called the atten-
lion of the whole world to his widow.
they had not been living to-
gether tremendously during the later
years of his life, Mrs. Yerkes declared
hat her husband had never ceased
o love her, and that she was devoted
o his memory.

Ask Further Legislation.

Representatives N. Il. Kendall and
y. +. Jones OF the legislative insur.
ance commission have filed their min.
ority report with Auditor of State Car
roll. The minority recommends leg
lslation limiting the expenses of life
insurance companies, requiring a
strict accounting Of surplusses, and on
future business an apportionment Of
dividends which will amount to a liza
bility.
Summing up its view of the report
OF the majority the minority says:
The minority Is OF opinion that
the majority report goes to an unnec-
essary extreme In emphasizing the
diihculties In the way of life insur-
ance reform. and that II ignores the
evidence In assuming that little need
Tor legislation exists.
we do not agree with the report
IN It's position on deferred dividends
and consider its mild belief In pub
hcity as evasive and totally made
quate TO the demands of the occasion.
AS the object OF the minority Is TO
anord some pro, lon TO the surplus,
we are led to discussion of those
factors that are Its greatest menace"
After fully discussing these factors.
the report concludes:
In view OF all that has been said In
these reports on the subjects of ex-
pense and deferred dividends, and
from the best information we have,
and with a desire to be fair to all
parties at interest. we recommend to
the Thirty-second general assembly
that laws be enacted, requiring;
"Ca) Life insurance companies to
limit their average expenses to their
loading-modified preliminary term

cob A strict accounting of exist
Ing surplusses.
"(c) On future business, an an
nual statement and provisional appor.
tionment of surplus to each policy
holder, and the aggregate so appor-
toned to be charged as liability OF
the company.
1--WE cannot conclude this report
without expressing the profound con.
viction that the business OF life insur.
ance should be limited to It's original
scope and that the element OF invest.
ment ought to be entirely eliminated
therefrom."

court in a businesslike way The
uniformed stranger, strolling into

dispute was over a grocery bill or a
ruined gown, rather than a ruined
life. The law says she may have a
divorce, and she proposes to get it,
That is ALL If her husband has a
good position or bit of property, she
asks for alimony. The struggle for
some form of maintenance sometimes
becomes strenuous, showing that the
woman regrets the loss of the man
who has been her support rather more
than the loss of the man who has
been her husband.
