THE MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE.

Someone has said there are
but two periods In a mans

for READY CASH. An insur-

gested by this commission would be
a great improvement over the sys-

very shortly. Congress win be justl-
fed in enacting q law putting the

1t is very easy to criticise and

sent a suitable plan of his own. II
Senator La Toilette objects SO siren
uously to what lie already proposed
what has he to offer In its place?
Surely he cannot expect the country
to continue as it is. with the dangers
Of financial panics and business dis
ruptions at all times. There may
be q great deal better plan than the
one now before the country. but it
has yet to be proposed. We are
ready to listen to any other ideas
that the leaders have and It is clear
ly mp to Senator La Toilette to put
his plan In concrete form SO that
it may be discussed side by side
with the so-called Aldrich plan.

fit is attack everything and anything
that Aldrich suggests

for Senator Aldrich, and heartily
agree with La Toilette that the for
mer Rhode Island senator is very
close to the special interests and has
done a great deal toward putting the

AFTER THE MAGAZINES.

AFTER THE MAGAZINES.
In no greater way is the power of
Wall street shown than in the man
ner in which some of the leading
magazines of the country, which
have been carrying on a strenuous
campaign against big interests. have
been forced into bankruptcy,
Last November Hampton's was
forced to sell out because of the In
ability Of the owners to secure funds
by which to continue it's publica-
ton. 1t will be remembered that
Hampton,s was at that time one OF
he leading publications attacking the
special interests. 1t had some tell
ing articles, which must have shook
the money trusts to it's very founda-
ton. 1t laid bare inside facts and
exposed many Instances showing
where the Wall street financiers have
been dominating the country.
IN q farewell editorial the pub
Usher told how he had gone from
one bank to another In New York
seeking financial assistance In carry
ing on his work, but all refused him.
This, In spite of the fact that Hamp-
toms was, at that time, enjoying a
circulation which was one OF the
largest In the country and was carry
savertisemsf . saszsse3aai -
ARE was any qualifications appar-
emily In good standing It vas Hanap-
toms magazine It was rumored
that Walt street was after It and It
seems that Wall street won:
More recently We have the down
fall Of another magazine, which has
been active In fighting the hold
which big business has on this coun-
try. We refer to the Success mag
az.nc. Hers was another periodical
that was apparently in good condi-
tion. but 1t was using It's columns to
tell the people the truth about Wall
street and the interests. Its cam
paign was aimed particularly at
Uncle Joe" Cannon. and the down
fall OF the once powerful speaker Of
the House car be traced to the work
started by Success. Naturally this
was another publication that Wall
street wanted to get. At last It has
succeeded. Success has been forced
into bankruptcy and there is a like
lihood that the publication will be
discontinued. It remains to be seen
what magazine will go next.
Perhaps, the bi~ttsrest foe that the
special interests have to contend with
a. the present time Ia Golfers Week
iy. This magazine has carried on a
consistent warfare against the priv
ileged classes. 1t was the originator
of the fight against B~allinger and /,
has been active In the conservation
work throughout the country. There
is no doubt that Wall street would
like to get Golfers If it could. This
magazine is backed by the millions
OF ifs proprietor. however. and it is
"a question if how long the fight will
last.
It seems to be a dangerous thing
in these days fer any publication to
oppose the money powers. Sooner
or later they succeed In suppressing
these agencies OF publicity. which
are opposed to their interests. 1t ls
interesting to watch this process OF
elimination. We wonder how long
the people win allow 1t 10 continue.
