Committee to Improve Systems

BILLS FOR LEGISLATURES
Revolution in business Conduct Of
Many of Life Organizations
OF the Country.

At the meeting of the Associated
FIatenities OF America. the national
federation of fraternal beneficiary as
sCc;ations, 1T Omaha. last week. the
FIRST step was taken in plans designed
tc bring about uniformity in the sys-
TENS employed in the conduct OF the
business. not only of the fraternal as
sociationS, but life insurance compa-
MES. This step was taken at the in
stance of the representatives of the
Modern Woodmen society. the resolu-
ton that was adopted being introduced
by Head Clerk c. W. Hawes.
According to the terms OF the reso
buttons. a special committee OF sevai;
members was appointed, and the duty
of this committee will be ito invesfi
gate the business methods. SYSTEMS,
accounting and record forms of such
organizations as furnish life insurance
benefits. and to make written report
and recommendations covering i'm
provements in system, methods. ac-
counting and record keeping to the
1910 meeting of the A f. A. with the
end in view of promoting uniformity

from the meeting at Omaha reports
that the committee will be called %

It's doubtful if the fans up that way

But eight players returned from Du-
buque with the Davenport team. The
others left for their homes directly
from the up-river city. IN other sea
sons such haste to get away might
have been easily explained, but this
year there seems no occasion for it.
The. pennant race in the Western
depends upon today's games. If Sioux
City wins one in the double header
with Omaha the pennant goes there,
even if Des Moines beats Lincoln If
Omaha wins the double header and
Des Moines wins from Lincoln, the
Dennant is Des Moines.
The Springfield News declares that
city is out to defeat President NJ II.
Sexton for reelection. and says that an
effort will be made to GUST Cedar Rap
ids and Dubuque 10 accomplish this
purpose. The News alleges that Mr..
Sexton has been a very bad official,
his principal offense being favoritism
hown the Rock Island team. Don't
an? That such childish rot should
ever find its way into print is a refiec-
ion upon the press of the capital city.
Cedar Rapids will not be likely to
put up fight to retain it's franchise
nless some one comes to the front at
once with financial backing for team
Tor another season. So far no one has
shown a disposition TO do this. Cedar
Rapids is charter member of the
ThreeEye league. In eight years, 1902
to 1909, the club in that city has drawn
2S6,112 people, paid $4,000 TO visiting
clubs. $1,000 into the local sinking
fund, taken in $4,000 at the park gate
and paid fares for players over 2S.S20
miles of railroad. And this is the first
~ear the city has ever failed to meet
lis agreement.

cent message; There is no moral difference between gambling at cards, at lottery or on the race track or gambling in the stock market One method is as pernicious as the other and in the last case the evil Is stin greater"
 A bill is now before congress where It is proposed to refuse the use of the mails, the telegraph and tele- phone lines and railroads to the stock exchanges This is exactly the action that was taken with the Louisiana Lottery company Will the bill pass? It can hardly be ex- pected. Many of our law. makers are too deeply involved in this same evil to attempt to remedy it and the people of this country have not yet learned to frown upon public gamb' ling.
 But the day is coming when gamb, ling in stocks and bonds and futures will be as sternly suppressed as faro and poker are now. The only Ques- ton is whether it will take two or ten more financial pauics to suffi- ciently warn and educate the people, For the people are slow to learn.
