About the Limit

Il was perfectly plain that Bryan's election
would have been followed by q shrinkage in
the value OF the securities Of the New Yorl
Life Insurance Company Of say at least 10 OF
IL per cent, 90 that with $50 millions Of securi
ties this con tribution of Mr. Perkins (t50. 0O(
of the insurance coDpany's money TO defeat
Rryan) was a shrewd business move. even II
it was illegal.-From Mr.. ". T. Jerome state
ment Of defense.
This is carrying the idea of the
sanctity of fictitious stock values
quite as far as it has ever been car
ried. We are all fairly familiar
through the medium of thu" widows
and orphans" plea-with the theory
that there must never be any
shrinkage of stock values through
the working of the square deal.
Everyone knows that in the philos-
ophy of Wall street it is all right if
stocks are hammered down wrong
fully and the widows and orphans
and all the other lambs are squeez-
ed out by the immortal and illegal
transactions of gamblers. Every
one knows that by the same philos-
ophy it is all wrong to rightfully
reduce stock values by applying
law and equity to them.
Such paradoxes are common.
But it is most unusual that this
principle should be carried to the
extent where the law NAV be in
vaded in order to uphold another
invasion of law. 1t would seem
bad enough to invest insurance
funds in securities so insecure that
an honest election could cause them
to shrink in value, without supple
menting that evil by spending 9th,
er peoples money to buy an cleo
tion.-Kansas City Star.

There isn't an administration pa
per in the United States that doesn t
contain an editorial every issue in
support of President Roosevelt's
policies as recommended in his
messages. Yet when a member of
congress like Senator LaFollette
takes the president at his word and
makes a fight to incorporate these
recommendations into actual law
a most pitiful howl goes up and
the very men in congress who op-
pose these measures are compli-
mented. 1t seems to an unbiased
reader that there is no sincerity on
the part of the republican poll
ticians to see Rooseveltism enact
ed into real law and all this pre-
tended praise is merely to continue
to hold fast to the public teat. A
man can be better Judged by his
vote than by his talk.

The only reason that has ever
been urged against secret ballot
clause in the primary law is that
democrats would participate in the
nomination of republicans. But
there is little sense in that conten.
ton: AS well say that republicans
would nominate democrats. Take
the case of representative in this
county, is there any more reason
why democrats would take a hand
in the republican nomination than
that republicans would butt into
the democratic nomination?
