Got Something For Nothing.

Mark Twain told how he got some
thing for nothing one day in the early
sixties when he needed the money. He
walked into a hotel and was petting a
strange dog. General Nelson A. Miles.
who CHANGED to be present. offered him
$40 for the canine.
ITO be frank" said the humorist to
General Miles. II haven't really got
any right to sell you this animal. but If
you'll give me 50 you may take the pup
away when I'm not looking. and I'll
not tell who took It,"
The bargain was closed, and General
Miles took the dog to his room. \ mo-
ment later the dogs owner inquired
for his pet, and Mark Twain offered t.
find the animal for SO. The humoriit
then went to General Miles room and
explained all. had the dog returned to
him. gave the army officer back his
money and returned the canine to its
original owner. thereby making So.

Failing this. she gets it on top of her

force, striking the frantic mother a

Our Jails Are Not For
Men of Influence.

BY Dr WOODROW WILSON. President of Princeton University.
r is NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO lMPRlsoN ANY MAN OF
INFLUENCE IN THIS COUNTRY. THE FAULT is NOT WITH
THE JUDGES, WHOM BELIEVE ARE ESSENTIALLY HON.
- EST AND ABOVE CRITICISM, BUT WITH OUR SYSTEM OF
JURiEs. A JURY Is SUSCEPTIBLE AND FREQUENTLY
UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE ETHICS OF LAW.
Of course the difficulty of obtaining a clear definition of anything
so COMPLEX as the transactions of corporate power is very great,
but I believe if the corporations would explain their business methods
to the public that A DIFFERENT IMPRESSION WOULD
ENSUE. At present there is only a mild camor against the PREDA-
TORY INSTINCT OF THE TRUSTS without any definite knowl-
edge of just how these tremendous operations III possible.
Ny view Of the attitude of the corporation lawyers, STANDING,
as they do at present, BETWEEN PUBLIC OPINION AND THE
PRIVATE TRANSACTIONS OF THEIR CLIENTS, is that,
by insisting upon a passive indifference to the public demand for in
formation, they seriously injurc their clients cases.
The reason that there is just now, and there will be to a much
larger extent, an almost universal AGGRESSIVE legislation against
trusts is because the people are kept in ignorance of their business
affairs. 1t is quite possible that there are corporations conducting
business On lines that are the I~EGITIMATEIN COMPETITIVE
issues in trade and that if the public were informed in detail of these
transactions the impression would be less violent against them than

b Governor CHARLES 4. HUChE9 Of NW 1Ok.
F" f are all seeking to get in every department of life a larger
life, a more ample income, comforts and a participation in
~ all that u civilization makes possible. That is Ameri-
canisn, THAI is WHAT EVERY BOY THINKS
OF WHEN HE STARTS OUT IN THE WORLD, what every
man wants, and no one would set a limit to the LEGITIMATE
have proportion to what that business can stand, and the whole ques-
ton of life insurance as to what is paid is NOT THE VOLUME
OF BUSINESS that can be written, not the glowing report that can
be spread with impressive totals as to the results of a year which
sound great to the men who don't know, but what it will HON.
ESTIY mean to the mel who do know, because the payments are
compatible with the interests of the business and of those who depend
on it.
And 50 it is that certain restrictions were imposed. Some say:
"Throw them down. Leave the doors wide open. The insurance bust
vously encountered"
HUMAN NATURE HAS NOT CHANGED EITHER IN OR OUT OF
THE INSURANCE BUSINESS. THE CONDITIONS OF COMPETITION
HAVE NOT CHANGED. THE NATURAL STRUGGLE FOR FIRST
PLACE IS THE SAME. THE GREAT THING IS TO TRY TO HAVE
RESTRICTIONS WHICH ARE NEEDED, TO HAVE THEM FAIR.
There has not been any legislation that l know anything about in
many years that has received so much attention and has had the benefit
of such EXPERT consideration on the part Of insurance men as the
legislation in New York state.
If there is anything wrong, let experience demonstrate it. But it
seems to me a MISTAKEN POLICY TO THROW DOWN THE
BARRIERS which are erected, not for the purpose of preventing
men from getting insurance, not for the purpose of preventing those
who are soliciting insurance to secure what they should fairly receive,
but to require all to work under conditions which mean "FAIR
PLAY TO ALL INTERESTS and an absolute prevention of the
recurrence of those evils which the business cannot stand.

How 70 Get Poor Quick.

Do not try to save your loose change.
1t is too small an amount to put in the
savings bank. 1t would not amount to
much anyway, and there is great com
fort in spending it. Just wait until you
get sufficient worth while before you
deposit it.
Do not try to economic. 1t is an in.
fernal nuisance to always try to save
a few cents here and there. Besides
you will get the reputation Of being
mean and stingy. You want everybody
to think you are generous.
Just look out for today. Have a good
time as you go along. Just use YOU
money yourself. Don't deprive your
self for the sake Of laying up some
thing for other people to fight over
Besides, you are SURF Of today. Yor
might not he alive tomorrow.-Succes:
