SOUTH AFRICA
GAME IN PERIL
OF ROOSEVELT

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. ID. g.. Nov. THE
fact that President Roosevelt last night,
IN conference with Sir Harry Johnston,
British administrator In South Africa.
practically completed plans for his hunt
ing trip next summer. Is the hest answer
to the recently revived gossip that he
would be candidate for Tom Platts
seat in the Senate.
Platts term expires ON March g. next.
The Senate OF the sixty-First Congress
will meet on March 3. when the new
members will be sworn in. Both houses
will meet very shortly thereafter In oN-
traOrdinary session to revise the tariff
job that will keep them at work for
at least three months. EX-Presldent
Roosevelt will leave the country the lat
ter part Of March FOR Africa. After his
hunting trip. he will tour Europe, having
already made several positive engage
ments at different points.
1t is inconceivable that Mr. Roosevelt
would accept the Office of United states
Senator. and then absent himself from
his duties for the greater part Of the
first year Of his term, especially during
the period to be devoted TO the important
question Of the tariff.
Moreover he has more than once made
the statement that he wished. as far as
possible. 20 avoid Appearances Of inter-
forlng with the administration OF his sue
cessor That was one of the reasons
actuatlng him in determining upon his
foreign trip.
In view of the circumstances. II may
be set down emphatically that the Presi-
dent will not be "a candidate for United
States Senator forthe state Of New
York-this year.
There will be another Senator TO he
elected In the winter OF 1911, to succeed
| Depew.
The time may then be ripe for Roose-
welt.

INSURANCE SHOULD BE CHEAPER.

In the months that have interviewed
since the notorious scandals in life
insurance the public has been waiting
for life insurance premiums to come
down. but the answer to these expec-
tations has been very unsatisfactory
indeed Salaries have been cut in some
companies and commissions have been
reduced everywhere. Other economies
in management have been put in force
so that greater dividends are being paid
to the policy holders which amounts
to cheaper insurance in effect
The thing that the public wants,
however, is old line life insurance at
cost Tables Of experience are now
sufficiently established to justify con-
sentative companies in reducing the
margin which they charge for safety.
1t is poor business to try to sell
$500 commodity at $500 merely for
the pleasure of giving s1.O0 back to the
purchaser. Standard policies simple
in form should be established by law
and some life insurance company
should Jump into the market with
cheaper premiums. If insurance rates
charged by the English companies
should be published in comparison
with the rates Of American companies
the latter would all look like grafterS.
There has always been too much ex-
pense connected with life insurance in
this country and too much mystery
about the contracts.

be the nominee, but no man should
head the Iowa republican electoral
ticket who would not vote for Cannon
or any other good republican for pres
ident. Copeland may be better man
than we think he is. But there Is no
use of finding out about him by start
ing the electoral ticket with his name
Governor S. B. Packard of Marshall
county is named for the other elector-
at-large. Governor Packard is unsound
on the tariff question mainly because
he knows nothing about it. But we
believe him to be an honest man. He
was a gallant union soldier and as a
republican we would trust him. He Is
worthy of confidence. Governor Pack
ard would be all right on the electoral
ticket, but Copeland ought to come
off in the interest of party peace. We
suggest the name of Hon. A. B. Funk
to head the electoral ticket. Funk
would honor the place.
