A Wonaan's
Privilege

Mrs. c. A. Dopson, a woman about
sixty years OF age was tried before
the insanity board Tuesday. The
woman comes from the vicinity OF
Carpio and says she is not insane. She
explains that she is good and angry
at some of her neighbors for inter.
fering with her affairs. Sometime
ago, the woman secured some fire in.
surance money and her neighbors
state that she has peen unreasona.
bic in some OF her speculations since
then. At the court house she broke
all records for fast and long talking,
but being woman, she believes that
talking is her pricilege and she did
her best to abuse it.

amply proven such by the course Of
subsequent events, and, like all spas.

and disloyal propaganda Is falling
by the weight Of its own inherent
falsity. Two years ago Mr.. johnson
received the republican nomination

constituted qualification Of the re-

the republicans Of North Dakota will
be consummatfng simple act Of

do so, and incidentally rehabilitating

NOT INSURANCE TRUST
Kansas Attorney General Loses Suit to
Prevent Companies From Making
dard Rates.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 12.-Judge Dana.
Of the United States district court, to-
day held. that Attorney General jack
son had failed to make the case against
the insurance companies in Kansas
whom he charged some time ago with
being in trust because they agreed
upon a standard rate.
The question involved was one
which concerned the legality of
the Eldridge rating bureau, which
furnishes rate recommendations for
all insurance companies in Kansas.
It was claimed that this was in
violation of the Kansas, antitrust
laws. Dana held that the adop-
ton of the Eldrige rates does not
constitute an offense. as the fling Of
the rates with the state insurance COM
missioner as requested by law has the
effect Of preventing competition, and
the insurance companies can not be
blamed for making standard rate.
