The wood is bare; a river-mist is steen-

silence, weeping
over their fallen leaves,

Yet 1t was here we walked when ferns
were springing,
Ana through the messy bank shot
bud and blade:-
mere Iound IN summer when the birds
were singing,
A green and pleasant shade.
IWas here we loved in SUMMER DAYS

And now in this disconsolate decav

seen her,
And touch the happier day.
For on this path at every turn ant

Whereto her fantom beauty eve,

About her, steps the trunks are bare

Drip heavy tears upon her downcas

For the years sun is dead.

clIrate. Altogether as a matter of mutual
convenience, not because the Supervis-
ing officer has the slightest interest
therein, the practice has been for the
companies to authorize the commits
sioner of insurance to select the papers
in which the publication shall be made.
In. substance that duty legally de-
wolves upon him, since he is empower
ed to select three newspapers in each
OF the judicial districts from which the
companies shall select one. in which
such statements shall be published"
But, by an obvious. process Of elimin-
alton, the commissioner could abso-
lutely control the selection of newspa-
pers, in. any event.
. / do not think I should take UNI
bragg at your gratuitous reference to
''the twelve umheard of papers in
which certain abstract was publish
ed. I am sure there are more than
twelve newspapers published in the
state of New York of which | never
heard-and yet that fact would not
necessarily ampugn the merits of those
twelve or more unheard of newspapers.
It is even possible that there are at
least twelve citizens of North Dakota
who never heard of The Surveyor
than which there Is perhaps not a. more
jealous organ Of insurance companies
anywhere.
In conclusion let me say that in my
Judgment the publication laws Of North
Dakota, with reference to insurance
companies, Is drastic. In, some cases,
as in the instance of a company writ
ing very limited lines Of insurance as
plate glass or steam boiler-the ex-
pense of publication is undoubtedly d
hardship That the requirements OF
the law should be modified is quite
possible; that it should be entirely re-
|pea1ed / do not believe, nor will ever
lend my aid to that end. To brand
the publication law Of this and other
states as piece Of graft, newspapers
generally as grafters and supervising
officials as accessories before and aft
er the fact does not rebound to the
credit or Judgment Of The Surveyor
nor will it assist In bringing about re-
suits which the insurance companies
are said to desire. In the light OF his
tory. the self Reconstructed organ Of in.
surance interests should not use the
word graft so lightly.

ONLY "FAlR PLAY" DEMANDED.

Il Decades from now, when men shall
look back to these times from the fu-
ture, one Of the most surprising things,
one of the most unaccountable things
which they will wonder at. will be the
short -slghtedness of those giants" Of
finance, o-called who insist upon the
"all the traffic will bear policy in the
face OF an awakened public opinion.
There are still men in charge of
great corporations, although they are
beginning to modify their opinions Of
the, public somewhat, who seem to
think that in order to get their rights,
they must keep a stiff-necked attitude
oward the public. They give ground
grudgingly, lighting for every inch.
The time is coming when there win
be perfect sympathy between the great
corporations and the public, when ev-
erything that is done will be done
openly and above board in the full
light of publicity. The Marshalltown
Times. Ia, republican, gives a concrete
example of the value of this idea. in
the following editorial:
The railroads are asking for an in
crease in the rate paid them by the
government for carrying parcels sent
by parcel post. They urge that they
are not receiving pay for the increased
business which is growing to very
large proportions. The government Is
making good money on parcel post and
the railroads want to know where they
come in on the profits.
It Is quite possible that the railroads
are not getting enough out Of carrying
parcels. On the other hand, it may be
that they are. The natural assumption
of the public is that the railroads are
looking for the best of it. The mail
contracts have been gold mines.
The system is to do business for the
government and between the govern
ment and the railroads as contracts
are let and taken in the ordinary bust
ness that goes on between men and
men. The railroads should be paid
what the service is worth, no more
There is a suspicion that amounts to
certainty that they have been paid too
much for reasons that 1t is unneces-
sary to offer in detail, But there Is no
public opposition to paying fairly for
a fair service When the railway pres
idents, who learn last, have discovered
this and are ready to meet the public
on that ground there will be small
trouble between them and the public
What is needed is a man or two or
ten like Clifford Thorne, Of Iowa, to In
vestigate the proposition for the public
and not against the railways. Men
who know and understand the intr1-
cate tangle Of rates and who are cap
able as well as sincere, who can desire
to see even handed justice between
the corporation which carries and the
people that pay for service.
We are coming to government as a
business proposition. slowly but never
theless certainly. If the railroads are
losing money or are not making a
reasonable return on mail contracts an
investigation which is q real inquiry
will reveal 1t and there will be no OBJ
lection to more pay. But let 1t be gone
into thoroughly Use the Clifford
siThorne type Of investigators,

MURPHY TRIUMPHS.

It is a great pity that Governor Sui
ger had done things before he was
elected governor of New York that
could now be brought against him for
Impeachment, as he had started out to
shake off the influence Of Murphy and
iTammany Hall, and his promises were
gratifying to all who hoped for an
honest administration Of public affairs,
free from graft and the manipulation
of ringsters.
When Governor Sulzer broke with
Murphy he publicly announced that he
would not allow the Tammany leader
to control the gubernatorial office. but
that 1t would be run on higher and
better plane than If under the domin-
alton Of that ringster and dispenser Of
patronage.
The announcement Of his determin-
alton is what brought down on Suffers
head the curse >of Tammany. It was
not to punish the offender against So
ciety that Murphy. brought impeach-
Inent proceedings against Sulzer, but
1t was because the governor of New
York had defed Murphy and his ma
chine rule.
If Sulzer had bowed to the rule OF
Tammany and become the cowardly
tool Of Murphy there would have been
no Impeachment.
If Sulzera had been willing to take Or
ders from Murphy and do only what
Murphy told him to do the governor
of that great state would not now be
disgraced, but would be enjoying the
confidence Of all the grafters and po-
litical crooks In New York and would
be in line for promotion for greater
honors and to more lucrative stations.
but he made the mistake of antagoniz-
ing and defying a power that has been
made fnvfnclble by It's arbitrary and
corrupt methods.
What does New York gain by put
ting Sulzer out of office before he took
his seat" says The Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger when the occasion Of his
removal is the right that he did after
he assumed office? He is fmpeached
because he was honest. not because he
was dishonest. Who after this will
dare the Tammany surveillance and
biackmail? The sharpest crooks in the
nation are IN Its employ. 1t spreads its
dirty hands to besrnirch any person
who may venture to oppose it. And
when once it's blackmail failed. when
public opinion at last had a chance to
take the sting out Of its threats and
free nobody knows how many other
men from fear OF it, Tammany is per-
mitted I'd make its threats good and
fastesa It's yoke lighter on It's other vic
tims. Is iii thus that good government
Ill to be had Nc sssity could better

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Henry Lane Wilson'S Finish.

New York World: Henry Lane Will
son, late ambassador to Mexico, would
have been separated from the public
service long ago if it had not been
for the fact that no successor could
be appointed without recognition of
the Huerta uSurpation.
Many sins are properly chargeable
to the account of American diplomacy,
but in all the category of blunders
and boorishness there is nothing that
equals the attack of this discredited
ambassador upon the foreign policy of
Great Britain and that of the United
States as well. What interest, personal
or political, can move a man in such
station to insult a friendly power,
to heap embarrassments upon his own
country and to close his official career
in ignominy?
Henry Lane Wilson is largely re-
sponsible for Victoriana Huerta. The
president shbuld have accepted his
resignation on March 4, with a re-
primand Had he done so, it would
not be necessary now to apologize to
Great Britain for this mans gross i'm
Lroprieties.

Mrs, W. Your wrinkles, especially
in middle age, are inexcusable and a
certain remedy for them consists in
treating the skin thoroughly with q
plain almoZoin cream jelly, easily made
at home. This is made by pouring 2
teaSpoonfuls glycerine in Il pint cold
water, into which is then dissolved
ounce 'almozoin. Massaging with this
quickly rid the skin of lines, black
heads and wrinkles and when used for
flabby muscles and hollows will make
the flesh firm and smooth.
Sally j.: Your dry hair and dandruff
are common troubles which are very
easily cured Try this tonic which I
anw many of my friends have used and
found perfect. Mix one ounce quin-
zoin with " pint alcohol and add II
pint cold water. Rub this invigorating
tonic into your scalp twice a week and
the hair-roots will take on a healthy
growth. l know of nothing so prompt
and sure in destroying dandruff and
to remedy itching scalp This tonic
is wonderfully stimulating to hair
growth and should be used in connec-
tion with canthrox shampoo. I am
writing today about canthrox also.
See answer to Verify. ..
Verify: If you will keep your scalp
clean and plant by occasionally sham
pooing with a teaspoonful canthrox
dissolved in a cup hot water, the hair
roots will grow strong aRdfyigorous,
resulting in a head of healthy, beauti-
full hair. This canthrox, which is cas-
Ter to use than any shampoo of which
1 know, creates a wealth of white,
thick lather that dissolves all dust and
dandruff and neutralizes excess oil.
Rinsing leaves the scalp Immediately
clean and the hair dries rapidly, with
rich, even color and is ever so fluffy
and brilliant.

INVESTIGATE
DEATH MYSTERY

. .
Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 21.-Agents OF
the accident insurance companies
with which John McAlpine, the
wealthy lumberman who was found
murdered in the basement of his home
last Friday morning, carried policies
aggregating $4,000, have taken up
the investigation of the mystery. 1t
is said the accident insurance will be
contested.
! The accident insurance agents will
.delve into the mystery from every
angle, working Independently of the
police to large extent but co-operat-
ing with them should it appear neces-
sary. 1t is understood that a well
known detective agency will be enlist
ed. The sums involved in the Nc
Alpine death are not to be paid by the
insurance companies until they have
satisfied themselves, at least, how the
lumberman met his death. s.,

realms of righteousness. Better a Sui
zer who had once erred, now strug-
CLING to do his duty. than Tammany,
arrogant in Wickedness, debauchery
and deceit, as a moral instrument"
1t is a great pity that a man who
had the courage to pronounce against
the many evils prevailing in New York
public life should be made the victim
of this pronouncement and destroyed
and that his Impeachment should be
the triumph of the chief wrongdoer
pronounced against.

passed in 1911" Fie on you! 1 had
supposed that if there was one thing
upon which insurance journals prided
themselves more than another it was
that of accuracy Of statement. Yet in
this instance The Surveyor is, in point
Of time just twenty-siX years out Of
alignment. In other words, the act
against which your criticisms are lev
eled is legacy Of territorial days, it
having been enacted in 1885. Let me
quote section 16 of chapter So, laws
Of 1885: i " q ns
Section 16. (Annual statement).
Every insurance company doing bus
mess in this territory must transmit
to the territorial auditor a statement
of it's condition and business for the
year ending on the preceding thirty
first day of December, which shall be
rendered on the first day Of January
in each year, or within one month
thereafter, except that foreign insur-
ance companies shall transmit their
statement Of business other than that
taken in the United States prior to the
following first day Of May; such state
ment must be published at least three
times in a newspaper of general circu-
lation, printed and published in each
judicial district of this territory in
y
have an agency, and a duplicate
thereof, upon which shall be endorsed
the names of the attorneys on whom
process of law can be served as re-
quired by this act, shall be filed in
the Office OF the register of deeds of
the county wherein the agency may
be established, but the provisions of
this section as to the appointment of
attorneys shall not apply to companies
,r nj izn6 wit
ments for publication shall be made
out on blanks, furnished by the ter
ritorial1 auditor and the territorial
auditors certificate of authority for
the company to do business in this
territory shall be published in connec-
ton with the said statement OF each
company doing business in this ter
ritory. Proof OF publication, towit:
The printers affidavit Of the fact, shall
| be filed with the territorial auditor in
all cases; provided, the territorial
auditor shall select three newspapers
of general circulation, published in
each of the judicial districts from
which said company shall select one
j in which said statement shall be pub
llished."
This act has been amended from
| time to time. but its general provisions
remain unchanged. The amendment
| of 1911 in no wise affected the act so
\ far as foreign" insurance companies
are concerned. and in view Of this
fact, your statement that the first
| Iintimation the companies had of this
obligation was the receipt OF bills from

CT that committee said recently he

of discoveries as to The Southerner,

it is evident that if the programme

Are we to understand that they will

When 1t comes to books, the presi-
