The admission of President Mellen
OF the New York. New Haven & Hart
ford railroad that he gave up 100000
to assist in defraying the campaign
expenses OF the republican party in
1904 came as a surprise.
In the inquiry held several months

WHAT MAKES LIFE WORTH WHILE

a few days ago Denny" answered
the last roll call. The Philadelphia
papers were filled with tributes to his
splendid character and stories of his
service. His death was a blow to the
entire force. IL the street where the
Riddles" were wont to play there
was universal sorrow while tiny fingers
fumbled for pennies with which to get
a few flowers TO send as the token of
love from the Riddles of Lombard
street" to Denny" Butler
When you think of this little story
OF the street, doesn't it inspire you
with resolution to go and do likewise
at least in some measure? Think then
of the effect of setting the proper ex-
ample for those about us. See how
our lives are intertWined, and how
we can encourage general doing of
good by actual individual service for
others.
Denny" the policeman was great
CT man than any millionaire coupon
clipper in Philadelphia.
He devoted those days in the street
to the service of others, rejecting in
his klndnesses no doubt some of the
things he had aspired to do for his
own little boy who was summoned
from him.
To such genuineness of manhood
and gentleness of spirit as character
lied the work of Denny" Butler
among the Riddles" of the street we
must find the inspiration of words and
deeds which make this life worth
while
To the memory of this policeman
We add our tribute of respect

CAPITAL COMMENT

for exemption Their dividends to
policy holders, they explained land
truthfully this time), were not divi-
dends at all They charge the policy
holder too much for insuring him
go per cent too much is the exact
fgure), and they each year gracious
ly return part, but not all, of this
overcharge and call it a dividend.
The government, however, decided
to take the companies at their adver-
tised word, and imposed on their net
dends the one per cent excise tax,
which, by the way, was never passed
along to the policy holders.
The Underwood bill simply substi-
tutes for the one per cent corpora
ton tax one per cent income
tax. And the companies are trying
to frighten their policy holders by
telling them they will have to stand
this tax in reduced dividends.
Is this threat likely to be carried
out? The New York insurance in
vestigation showed that in 1907 the
insurance companies earned net s135,-
100000 on a capitalization of only
$20, 100000, or 657 per cent in one year
This profit was genuine. and it was
paid in genuine cash to the insurance
Stockholders far different dividend
than the one paid to policy holders.
: The Aetna has earned as high as
166 per cent in a year on its capital
cation; the Prudential PIG per cent;
the Metropolitan 140 per cent, and so
/ on. Moreover, the insurance compan-
/ les have heaped up vast reserve fund
which is commanded by the Wall
street financiers as an admiral com
mands a feet.
Out of their tremendous profits, the
insurance companies could well afford
to pay actual dividends to policy hold.
ers, besides charging 80 per cent less
. for insurance. The size of the divi-
dend is the insurance company's best
advertisement.
Do you suppose for an instant the
insurance companies intend to partial
ly kill the public goose that lays the
golden Wall street egg by cutting
down policy holders dividends by the
amount of the income tax, with a re
sultsnt loss of highly profitable bus
mess?
Says Representative Cordell Hull
author of the income tax bill: 1T is
not believed by any person familiar
with the facts that any of the one pei
cent tax will fall on the policy hold
eTs."

che TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

The announcement made by Secre-
tary OF the Treasury McAdoo that he
will require banks in which there are
federal government deposits TO pay
interest at the rate OF 2 per cent on
monthly balances is another innova-
ton on the part of the progressive
administration of national affairs
There is no apparent reason why
banks acting as United States de-
positories should not pay interests
10 the federal government, and do
il cheerfully. The secretary states
that this interest VIII amount year
ly TO between one and two million
dollars.
BY this showing il will be seen that
Secretary McAdoo is earning his sal
airy. and then some.
Secretary McAdoo has also an
nounced that he will put into circula-
ton through banks of deposit a large
portion OF the cash heretofore kept in
the vaults at the treasury depart
ment: the hanks receiving these de-
posts 10 give ample security TO the
government BY the adoption OF this
policy probably 100000 900 will be
added to the cash circulation Of the
country. This addition to the money
in circulation will give an impetus to
business and thus benefit every citi-
zen either directly or indirectly.
Secretary McAdoo, by these changes

house into exempting insurance com
panies from the tax.
And the public, having been gulled
often in the past by the insurance com
panies, is swallowing this latest bunk
of the insurance kings; and many let
tiers of protest are being received by
congressman.
A little analysis of insurance finance,
however, shows how ridiculous is this
threat of the companies to pass the
income tax along to the policy hold
er. They will no more think OF doing
it than they will of closing up their
affairs because their incomes will be
taxed.
For many years the insurance COM
panies maintained the fiction that the
dividends" paid to policy holders an
nually were actual dividends. Divi-
dends we're the bait held out by the
companies to attract business. The
agents and advertising literature told
of the wise investments and economi,
cal management OF the companies
which enabled them to permit policy
holders &c share in the profits. Thou
sands of people believed this, and in
sured themselves in the companies
paying the highest dividends.
Then congress passed an excise law
taxing dividends of corporations. AT
once the insurance companies asked

TRYING TO MuzzLE TIE PRESS.

III lNO 10 VI ZZLE The PRESS
Opposition to free speech almost
Invariably comes from sources which
are not seeking justice, but which de-
sire to obtain unfair advantage of the
people in some form or another by
placing a check upon publicity.
The commissioners Of the District
Of Columbia, after studying a bill pro-
viding for press censorship, finds that
"the publicity given by the press gen
orally tends to lessen evil conditions
and thus renders a useful service to
the public" and that dread of publ
city has a deterrent influence upon
those disposed or tempted TO the com
hitting of crime may reasonably be
inferred from the fact that most Of
tenders against the law earnestly seek
TO avoid exposure Of the circumstanc-
es Of their misbehavior in newspaper
reports of their trials"
Patriots are not demanding press
censorship. Men who do not fear
publicity are not demanding that the
press be muzzled.
The source of such attempted legis-
lation usually condemns it.
1t is so in the Illinois general assem-
bly,, where certain persons most con-
spicuously identified with past legis-
lative scandals have been most ag-
gressiye in condemnation of the press
and attempt to muzzle it. For obvt
Gus reasons they seek to darken the
limelight Of publicity and prevent free

AEnDt ms AASAh ~ --'SNN4' -
Denny" Butler was a Philadelphia
policeman. He had a little boy of his
own. To this promising little lad. he
was much devoted, but his hopes and
Joys turned to sorrow.
Death came, and Denny" Butler
followed the tiny coffin of his boy to
the cemetery. He was broken-hearted
and life seemed no longer worth while.
But Denny" was made of the right
kind OF moral fibre. He secured a
beat in that portion of Philadelphia
where children swarm the streets be-
cause they have nowhere else to play.
The street is their playground. The
perils of the street are many, the re-
sponsibility of the policeman great.
Denny" went there because ne said
he wanted to be with the children. He
adopted them all. He became their
friend. He fought their battles for
them. He extended a tender-hearted
sympathy to the youngsters who were
taken sick. He was the friend who
came to the sick beds with a flower
now and then. To all he had a kindly
word. All the time he could possibly
spare after work hours was devoted
TO the Riddles" as he called them.
His name became known throughout
the city because of his kindnesses
His acts of genuine charity, his gen.
tleness with children who were kicked
and cuffed about by hard life in a big
city inspired men about him to turn
some attention TO similar charity
Other policemen emulated denny
The children fairly worshipped him
because they felt the warm glow OF
his tender-hearted friendship.
