Gals OF all the large life insurance
COMPANIES of the United States and

commissioners of a number of States,

a reduction of life insurance taxes.
There has long been complaint of
the system of state taxation on life
insurance, which varies greatly in the

purely revenue measure, yielding re-

II gives us much pleasure to wei

POVERTY PREFERABLE TO DIS.
HONESTY.

II has been said that the world
shuns the man without n dollar to
call his own. The world holds more
aloof from the man who owes dol
lar he will not pay; the poor man has
more friends than the dishonest man.
--Plttsburg Gazette
The man without dollar is stunned
by the world less than the world is
stunned by him. The dollarless par
ty feels uneasy and restless until he
gets control of a slmoneon or two.
Poverty is no disgrace, but there is
nothing that so encourages a man to
think well of himself as The posses
sion of money enough to pay his way.
AS for the rogues who refuse to pay
honest debts when they are able to
do so, they are more miserable with
money than are honest men stone

of the situation is set forth in a state

of the party and its candidates had
made a casual impression. 1t is my
opinion that the attitude of labor to

misrepresented quite as freely as the
party toward labor and l find no rea-
son for the belief that labor will divid.
other than on the lines that have here
tofore divided it. In my opinion the
normal Republican labor vote will be
cast as heretofore.
"In the agricultural regions, it is
quite apparent that the farmers are
opposed to a change that would i'm

that How will they reduce the tariff
Will they do it suddenly like a flash
of lightning or will they do it gradually
They say they will do it gradually
which is sure to cause general busi-
ness stagnation. For the merchant who
has manufactured goods on his shelves
now will be compelled to hold them
because the trade will not buy the
goods until the manufactured articles
have reached the minimum price caused
by the gradual reduction of tariff.

Republicans were afraid to discuss

right here in your own town of Glen

which has by careful management, con
servative, honest endeavor established
business which has won your con-
idence. Presently along comes Mr..
Jones' a stranger and starts up bank
on the opposite corner. Now you and
your friend come along with your
money and your friend asks which bank
to deposit his money in. You reply,
why, there is no difference, both are
guaranteed, one is as safe as the 9TH
er so lets take it to the new bank
Now, of what use is the splendid re.
cord made by the old timer on the
other corner. Let me tell you that
when you take away the close scrutiny
of the public eye from the banker who
is handling your money, and make the
| rishoncst banker as safe to the de-
positor as the honest one, you are en-
dangering the whole banking system.

that party to successfully deny any
thing he was going to say or had ever
said during his campaigning. He said
in part: All the laws which have been
enacted for the benefit of the laboring
man now on the statute books of Colo
RADIO, have been passed by a Republi-
can legislature. The first eight hour
law passed by Democrats and for which
they claimed so much credit was declar-

When both houses were Republican the

passed for the benefit of the laboring
classes were the old age law, a law

PASSENGERS MUST
SHOW THEIR TICKETS

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 15:- The
rule requiring railroad passengers to
show their tickets for inspection be-
fore boarding their trains went into eff
feet today on all railroad lines in Iowa,
Nebraska, Missouri. Oklahoma, Kansas,
Minnesota and Arkansas. The new rule
is not particularly popular with the
trainmen, because it means consider
able in boarding the trains, at least un-
til the travelling public and the con-
ductors have become throughly used
to the new system. On the other hand
the new system has the advant age,
that it will prevent difficulties in
paying fares to conductors in trains
and will also prevent passengers from
boarding the wrong trains or select
ing of the trains. Difficulties with
the conductor used to arise frequently
when the passengers were required to
pay their fare on the train. This has
been done away with altogether, as all
passengers must procure tneir tickets
before they can board the train. From
several of the large railroad centres
slight delays and confusion have been
reported today as result of the en-
forcement of the new rule, but the di-
fficulties were not serious and it is ex-
pected, that the travelling public viii!
soon become accustomed to the new
rule

A Prairie Fire Sweeping the
Plains Causes a Panic
Among H0meseekers
Seven TICKETS IN FIELD Big CROWDS PRESENT

DALLAS, S. D., Oct 14-This town
is seriously threatened by prairie fire
wbieli started at noon today. Sew
cral buildings have caught fire and
Others are in danger. A general panic
among the homeseekers prevails.
Every resident and visitor turned
out to fight the fire with wet blankets.
PlOws were put into service digging
treaches. AT 1:3O several small resi-
dences caught fire, it is thought from
back fires.
The fire came in from Trip county.
Many left as soon as possible, some of
them going on foot, carrying their
hand baggage. The largest crowd of
the registration was in town. Trains
had come in all late last night and to.
day loaded with people. The wind was
terrific.
The wind started from the northwest,
changing to the southwest The noon
trains were held at the station, having
instructions to carry as many people
out as possible.
The fire protection of the town is
confined to two small hand chemical
wagons manned by the citizens. The
water supply would have been fairly
good, but the pressure was insufficient,
to force the water through the hose.
At . clock it was believed that the
fire had been placed under control, al.
though the situation was still serious
and thousands of persons were fight
ing the flames.
The fire burned to within twenty five
yards of the government building,
whereing nearly 100000 registration pa
pers were held awaiting the drawing
next Saturday. 1t is believed the build
ing will not be touched by the flames.
