THE MODERN INoUIsITION

THE MODERN INQUISITION.
He is such a little man
To I've shut up in Jail;
You see his face against the pane,
And hear his plaintive wall
Such a precious little fellow,
With eyes OF blue and golden hair,
And he hasn't done a thing that should
Condemn him 10 despair.
But the system must be followed,
Every impulse Of the heart
Must be smothered lest the mother
From the training rules depart.
THE recurrence OF the Adamic the
DRY in~the Diggs white slave case gives
our conception of what men are ca
pable OF another push downward.
Maury Diggs dragged Marsha War
rington into the pit and now-shall
We say, manlike-would use her for a
lift TO help himself out.
1t is unfortunate for the race that
man cannot get away from such
hereditary influences.
Well, There's the Situation.
Ed. NJ. p: An inmate OF a certain
asylum for the insane escapes. Almost
simultaneously with that event Adam
Phule reappears in the NJ. p. after
prolonged absence. Admitting that
this has a somewhat suspicious look,
would il not be rather far-fetched TO
say that these two facts are in anyway
connected?
We think so, too.
FAIR PLAY.
HUERTAELL has Huerta's widely
advertised scorn of the L. ). gone?
The Baseball We Used TO Know.
(From the St Joseph Herald.)
a very reputable Niles gentleman
told another very reputable st. Joseph
gentleman here Sunday that there
were five semi-pro Chicago or nearby
players hired by Niles at cost OF
$500 and that he Clipped in his share.
There were but five names in the
N'ie- lineup that compared with that
of Aug. 10. One of these is Stein,
Dut We understand, that it was not
Stein, in fact or the Stein that play
ed in the first game, but another in
dividual sailing under his name. The
others were ZilZ, Hussey Shuler and
Molyneaux, most of whom, if not all
are known by the members of the st.
Joseph champs.
1T would be a bitter disappointment
for the ginks and the jingoes If Huerta
should fall for Pres Wilson'S peace
proposition.

LET Liz Do It.

The Tribune is going to have a tag
day. To defray the expenses of the
citizens campaign the ladies are to
be turned out on the street TO solicit.
To add numbers to a failing cause
the embryo suffragets are TO be en-
listed. How romantic! But money
in political campaigns is stern
reality. Someone must pay for the
halls for Mr.. Guilf6yle to talk in. If
the button day plan is not sufficient
Grandma Trib may ask the Ladies'
Aid society TO help. a quilting bee
has been suggested or an ice cream
social on one of Mr.. Happ's additions.
The plan TO Let Liz do it" in cam
paign money raising has occasioned
no little surprise and amusement. At
first glance the idea merely suggests
the dire straits of the Holy three in
crying out like sick girl for help.
Upon closer scrutiny may be seen,
however, a very clever plan 10 dodge
the corrupt practices act governing
elections. The purpose Of this law is
TO require every candidate 10 an
nounce the sources of his campaign
funds; 10 let the people lin on him"
as IL were. TO advise voters what
selfish interests finance the campaign
II would seem that men bOaSting a
monopoly on virtue and presumably
standing for a higher citizenship
would seek TO comply fully with the
law rather than To eVade il. Why
does the citizens party wish 10 con-
ceal the sources OF its revenue? Why
is it SO adroitly lodging the act
against corruption in elections. Are
its leaders afraid TO let the people
know who Is furnishing the sinews of
war? Ii looks very much that way.
If the list Of contributors for which
the law provides can DE wiped out by
the general entry button day re-
ceipts" II is evident that the people
can only learn through sad experience
what interests are foisting secretive
movement upon the public. Come on
out in the open, gentlemen, If the
Tribune with an eye on Sic, 200 worth
OF city printing wants to risk a thou
sand or two dollars on the citizen"
nominee, Why can II not do so openly
and straightforwardly? Why try 10
hide such contributions in a general
collection? Why try TO hide behind
the skirts Of Liz" and "Madge" and
other lady accomplices. The skirts
OF today are too transparent 10 hide
behind. They afford no protection.
And as the evening sun casts its re-
splendent rays aslant glance through
the skirts OF Liz the collector will
disclose the Holy ones evading the
laws made TO better political condi-
lions. And this in the name OF
higher citizenship,-don't laugh, boys
the poor devils are desperate.

WOMEN AND LIFE INSURANCE.

Woman's relation TO life insurance
is being discussed by tie delegates to
the meeting Of the medical section Of
the American Life Insurance associa-
ton now being held IN St. Paul. and
some statements have been made that
are interesting If not startling 10 the
lay reader.
For instance. IL is declared on gen
eral principles that woman is a poor
insurance risk for a number of rea-
sons One is that she is apt TO have
an intuition Of death and take out in
surance on the strength of the warn
| ing. Another is that medical exam
ination is more difficult and less rigid
than with men. \ third is that mar
ried women, insured by husbands who
themselves have no insurance. are the
worst kind OF risks.
One speaker made an exception Of
old maids. He said they are much
better risks than married women. The
further Information was given that
until recently the women insured were
those who sought insurance and not
those solicited by agents. This state
ment is doubtless subject 10 the excep-
tion OF the business conducted by com
panies which go into a home and
write policies on every member OF
the family.
We scarcely have the temerity 10

late the probabilities OF longevity and

companies. but their talk about the
power OF women 20 anticipate death
Through intuition sounds like super
! stition. Difficulties OF medical exam
nations may justify insurance COM
panies in avoiding feminine risks. but

fancied than real and should be re-
moved. Life insurance should be as

should be as commonly carried.

A FAKE on ITS FACE.

The so-called citizens movement up
10 date consists Of three interested
. parties. the Tribune William Happ
and Fred W. Keller; three candidates
. for mayor, OF which Keller is one;
candidates for the minor offices. and a
| few men noted for their capacity for
doing a great deal OF talking without
accomplishing anything.
Behind this front are a number OF
well meaning but misguided people
who II they understood the real pur-
4 pose OF the movement would wash
their hands Of it.
Ostensibly the issue on which this
movement is asking the support Of the
voters OF the city is a great moral
and economic reform. The interests
behind the movement. which repre-
sent the Tribune's desire to gain pres
tige through becoming the admins
tration organ and profit through Sc
curing the city printing. Mr.. Keller's
ambition 10 be elected mayor Of the
city and. as the Tribune would say
'for other reasons, and Mr. Happ's
desire TO install an administration that
may be useful TO him in divers ways.
This is the makeup and the object
OF the so-called citizens movement.
At no time has il merited considera-
ton because OF its spontaneity. 1t
was simply worked up by the interests
named 10 serve their selfish purposes,
made out OF whole CLOTH. as it were,
and given the mask of a popular
movement
By degrees the mask has been re-
moved. First came the apparent hos
tility OF the Tribune 10 Mr.. Swygart
and Mr.. Place as candidates for
. mayor. Next Mr.. Keller. one of the
triumvirs. appears as a candidate for
mayor. as had been anticipated. Then.
in an indiscreet moment. the Tribune
gave warning that it would bolt any
ticket not satisfactory TO it. In other
words. but with the same meaning. the
Tribune. as the mouth piece of the
three-cornered combination which is
engineering the movement, asserted its
right 70 dictate the nominations at the
primary on Saturday.
Then 10 prove that this so-called cit
liens movement is not a genuine
movement we have these demonstrate
ed facts:
Entire absence Of Anything like a
spontaneous uprising of the people.
The known reputation of the
Tribune for insisting that every cause
il espouses shall serve its selfish inter
ests.
The circumstance that William
Happ and Fred w. Keller are associ-
ated with the Tribune in promoting
this movement and that Mr.. Keller is
a candidate for mayor.
The declaration of the Tribune that
IT will not support any candidate who
does not pass it's censorship.
The unconcealed antagonism of the
Tribune to the candidates. of Mr..
Place and Mr.. Swygart.
And last. but not least. the tesi-
mOny OF approximately 5000 voters
given at the democratic and repubH-
can primaries against the need of an
independent movement
