Dawson of New York, one Of the lead
ing actuaries in the United States
told Judge Robert B. Shirley in San
canon circuit court yesterday the pro-
posed rate increase of Modern Wood
men is fair to all concerned. Dawson
testified in injunction proceedings fl
ed by insurgents against officers of
the head camp TO restrain them put
ting into effect new rules.
Dawson testified the old table of
rates was inaccurate and not suffici-
ent 10 meet obligations, and looking
into the future would not pay out. He
said the proposed new rate was draft
ed after the old one had been given a
trial for many years and from exper-
fence was found insufficient Dawson
asserted the new table of rates was
fair and equitable to all concerned. No
other plan suggested, he said, would
work out go as to meet all general
conditions
W. n. Phillips, actuaTy for the Mod
ern Woodmen of America, told OF the
new rate adopted by the order and
asserted it was just to both young
and old members. He told of the
adoption OF the option clause, which
gives aged members the right TO pay
part of an assessment and have the
/ balance charged TO their certificate.

There have always been some re-
publicans in Arkansas. If there are
any left, democratic leaders have fail
ed to find them.
In 1908, the official records show
that there were 56,947 who voted for
Taft, to S7,043 who voted for Bryan.
The reports received at democratic
national headquarters are doubtful
whether the republicans will get 947
votes or perhaps 1000.
Joseph T. Robinson advises the dem
ocratic national headquarters that he
thinks the 947 is nearer accurate than
600.
"And the 1000 vote" states Mr.. Rob,
iDson, will be about evenly divided
between Taft and the third term can
didate.
The republicans just seem to have
all disappeared and our poll of the
states shows that Arkansas will give
the greatest democratic vote in its
history"

Gently.
The one, as / first knew him, was
a ruddy-cheeked, robust and happy
hearted young man. He was earning
moderate salary, and, being provi-
dent, he and his wife and baby lived
in reasonable comfort.
But he gave up the modest-salaried
Job and went in for getting rich. Since
then he has put in five years of I'M
remitting work and scheming. He neg
lected his physical self entirely and
begrudged the time necessary to sleep
or the money necessary to eat.
Today he owns several houses and
has a good balance in the bank. But
he's lost his ruddy color, his health
and his vim.

Lest 1t should fly the track.
