Carrie Nation, the Kansas temperance
reformer, whose work with her Ratchet,
in smashing barrooms has given her
world notoriety, is now in Butte,
and will be in Spokane in a few days. A
rumor has reached Newport that Carrie
has heard of Old Town, and will make a
side trip from Spokane to do her part
toward a cleanup. Whether there is
any foundation in the report cannot be
learned at this time, but the Old Town
people are expecting her and preparing
to dodge when she yields the Ratchet.

1t is said that petition demonstrating
against the withdrawal of the land along
the river between Crescent and the
boundary, which has recently gone into
effect, is being circulated by the people
of Metaline and the lower river. Four
homesteaders between Crescent and the
canyon are held up. It's shame. and
the withdrawal seems senseless. The
excuse is that congress did not define
the rights it granted. If no rights were
defined. how can it be said that any
rights were granted? In our humble
opinion Secretary Ballinger is not justi-
fed either in attempting to define the
rights, or holding the. country up until
the congress shall define them. 1t is
the province of the courts to pass upon
the law granting these privileges and to
decide what was granted. If the law is
40 ambiguous that it could not be deter
mined what was granted, what's the
excuse for holding up the homesteadei
and miner, who clearly have defined
rights, for corporations whose rights are
doubtful? If the country is held ur
merely so that these water power sites
can be appraised and sold under this
new conservation fad, then the with
drawal is an outrage Record.

MEXICO SOCIETY FUNCTIONS

Some editors have q habit OF airing
their family affairs in public. This is
not commendahle, yet for the possible
good that it may DO, the University
Missourian reprints this tale OF suffer
ing, to which tine editor OF the Mexico
Ledger gives voice:
There is one very peculiar thing
about some society functions held in
Mexico Instead OF receptions begin
ming at one or two o'clock in the after,
noon and closing a three, four or five
O'Clock, they start about four anu
close about seven. III this way wo,
men who have homes to look after o.
families TO iced are up against a pro,
position. OF course, families or homes
are not supposed to cut any lee
when they are up against a society
proposition. Just the same more wo,
men would have homes il they were
more considerate about propositions o!
this character. Let us have the recep
tions; it would be terrible thing il
We did not have them; but there are
twenty-four hours il day ana it does
seem as though arrangements could
be made so that they could be pulled

Life Insurance.

The Missouri Supreme Court has de-
cided that the life policy OF suicide
must be paid, and that mis-state-
nent OF tie insured at the time he
made application does not vitiate the
policy, when the statement is not one
affecting the health or in concealment
of any bar 10 the issuance of the pol
icy.
The gist OF the decision is that when
q life insurance policy is issued by a
company OIL fraternal society, it must
be paid if the insured dies while the
policy is in force, unless actual fraud
can be shown.
An erroneous statement in an in
surance application is not fraud. un-
less it is purposelv made to create an
apparent state Of insurability which
does not actually exist, and thus be-
comes of direct fraudulent character,
equivalent to obtaining property by
false representation.
As to the suicide objection. the fact
that man takes his own life while
temporarily mentally irresponsible is
no evidence whatever OF intent TO de-
fraud
He might take out policy in good
faith one day and kill himself the next
because OF some change in his mental
condition.
| To void policy in equity, and it
! has been practically SO held by the
courts. actual intent to defraud the
company b. committing suicide must
exist at the time the policy is applied
for.
Nothing in the form of contract
should be held more sacred and bind
ing than an insurance policy. 1t is a
provision for dependent ones whose
natural protector has been taken away
It should require the strongest pos
sible evidence OF fraud before court
{ would be Justified in declaring a policy
void
grounds alog this iinebgkqjmhfwlup
The courts and legislatures have
been taking stronger and stronger
grounds along this line constantly anC
this decision is in the line with preyi
Gus ones and in touch with the strong
sense of equity that has so developed

LEARN TO SWIM
tition.

Here's a piece of good and timely
advice, taken from the st. Joseph
News Press:
The report from Hollister to the
effect that one of the students OF the
Missouri School OF Journalism was
drowned while out on pleasure trip
with the members of his class, brings
forcibly to mind the imperative duty
of parents to see that their children
are taught how to swim. Summer
would not be summer to the small
boy If he were denied the privilege OF
taking off his clothes once or twice a
day while he sports about in the water
of some convenient lake, river or
creek. The exercise is one OF the most
pleasant and heaIthful in which a
youngster may indulge No wise par.
Nhl "oulo " utHs LID ILliu SUCH tIl-
joyment He ought, however, to see
that the child can swim sufficiently
well to protect himself under all or.
dinary circumstances
The art of swimming is not a diff
cult one to learn. To acquire a self
confidence while in the water is the
first and most necessary requirement.
This comes only from experience in
the water. See that the children are
afforded opportunity to swim in shall
low water Go swimming with them
yourself until they have had sufi-
cient experience to swim in deeper
water. A very large percentage of the
deaths from drowning are caused by

HIGH SALARIED COOKS
Chefs in Rich Families and Large
Hotels Soon Become Wealthy.

The salary which the chef at the top
Of his profession receives is often
more than OF many doctor or lawyer
Eugene Laperruque at the Plaza hotel
New York City, probably commands
the highest figure. He is said TO re-
ceive S. year Four other hotels
pay In the neighborhood of $4,000
But the rest range downward TO the
s1,50o and the $1,000. which is the
salary paid the chef in the private
homes of the millionafres.
Out OF the larger incomes French
thrift has frequently acquired COM
petence. Charles Ranhofer, from Del
nOnico's died ten years ago worth
more than sl00,060. Jean Berdou,
now at the AstOr, owns the 7-story
brick apartment house in which he
lives, and has more money in mort
cages. Rene Anjard owns his brick
residence in West Twenty-first street
with its little adjoining garden, where
he spends his leisure hoITse among
the flowers he loves. Xenophon Kuz-
mier, the celebrated chef at the Goth
am, who learned his art in Paris in
the kitchen of the Princess Bemidoff.

A STEP AHEAD AT sEoALIA

That was a splendid achievement
In Sedalia which eliminated last week,
when its citizens pledged upward OF
s53 900 to Y. NJ. c. A. building fund.
Women of the city served public lunch
daily during the canvass OF ten days,
and an enthusiastic spirit for the pur-
pose prevailed. Efforts of this charac-
ter mean much material progress for
a town. Over and beyond The achieve
ment of the particular purpose in
view, they foster the get together
spirit-the greatest asset for progress
city can possess. Men are brought
to feel that the community's interest
is at one with that of the individual.
When this point is reached in a city's
life-when men can get away from
the petty personal viewpoint and look
at things in the larger. broader aspect
of their bearing on the community
well, that town will have secure
place on the map.
And this seems to be the case with
Sedalia. May personifed progress be
hers.

touch of sorrow to the students of
