Toledo, O.. June 16.-Fraternal in
fsnrance in the United States hung in
the balance when the head camp Of
the Modern Woodmen Of Amrica met
in triennial convention.
Persons holding membership with
other fraternal insurance societies
realized that the outcome of the con-
test here would determine whether
they, too, were eventually to break
away from the old low rate plans and
join in movement toward the insur-
ance schemes figured out by insur-
ance actua ries.
In the fight here the head camp Of

Recently Spoke.
Washington, June 16.-President
Wilson made the direct charge that
sentiment in favor of postponement
of the administration trust legislative
program was the result Of cam
paign by certain interests and init
mated that it was the cause Of the
psychological business depression
Of which he recently spoke.
In support of the presidents views
copies of letters and kilograms circu
lated among business men calling for
adjournment of congress without com
pletion of the trust bills, praying for
the freight rate increase asked by
MERGE commission and calling for a
halt of the attacks on business" were
made public at the White House.
One of the circular letters which
came into possession of the White
House was circulated by the Simmons
Hardware company of st. Louis. 1t
was dated June 9, after E.. c. Sim.
mons, head of the company, had been
offered place on the federal reserve
board.
Another circular letter made public
was sent out by the Pictorial Review
company of New York, signed by W.
P. Ahnelt, president. 1t was dated
May and inclosed a draft of a let.

The form letter attached was an
appeal for postponement Of trust leg,
islation and 5 per cent rate increase
for the railroads. .-.
Not since President Wilson made
his charge of an ''insidious lobby in
Washington to influence tariff legisla
ton has there been a sensatio OF
such a sort in official circles. News
of what the president had said and OF
the issuance of the circular letters
spread quickly to the Capitol, where
it became the subject Of animated
discussion in both houses of congress
President Wilson made it clear that
the campaign would have no effect
upon him and that it was his plan to
push the trust program through the
senate with the aid of all the means
at his command. He expressed the
view that business was as good if not
better, now than a while ago, and that
it would be less harmful to the bust
ness of the country to have the trust
legislation program completed than to
be confronted with period OF ulce1.

CANDID CONFESSION

Since we published the story that

vented former Congressman /. Irving

IN the State Department, many umors
have been current relative to the manner
III which that act of Senator Salisbury
reached this paper. Friends of the Junior
Senator have blamed it on Mr.. Handy.
and refused to accept positive assurances
that he had nothing whatever to do with
1t. The following letter, from one of the

Even where facilities are provided to
confne prisoners and compel them to
work at trade in enclosed walls. the
fact has been recognized that work in a
penal institution can be done with better
result to the prisoner himself, and with
equally good returns for the cost of the
prison system, by having prisoners work
at either road work, at farming, or in
other open air occupation. The Even
ing Journal of Wilmington remarks on
this subject as follows
The suggestion of the trustees of the
New Castle county workhouse that thev
be permitted to purchase a farm of at
least 100 acres near the workouse is one
that IS worthy of serious consideration bv |
the public. II is in line with modern !
penology, which looks to the conserva- |
tion of the health of prisoners and their
ultimate reformation.
1t has been found that one of the best
things for prisoners is healthful and con
genial outdoor employment. Penal farms
are being established all over the country.
Our workhouse trustees already have
leased ninety acres of land and to that
extent they have met the situation.

they can before long secure suitable quar-

The Light and Water Commission is

: THE only fair way to fix the value. OF
real estate, is on the unit basis Of assess
ment that is, by assessing the land
value and then fixing the value of the
builings. The cost OF the building should
be taken as the first point, but the de-
probation from wear or other wastage
would then be estimated and deducted
from the first cost Of construction, the
balance remaining then to be the basis

value of the real estate to the actual

IL the State Of Maryland ministers Of
the gospel are barred from serving as
members of the Legislature of that State
by a constitutional provision. Does the
State of Maryland look upon preachers
of the gospel as incapable either morally

There will arise from time to time
questions which can be only acted upon
after laws have been either enacted or
amended by the legislature, and those
interested should not only make a mem
tai note of these, but record in diary or
record of some kind, what these especial
questions may be, and how they NAV
affect the public interests. Among the
number should be the regulation Of sales
OF Poisons, harmful drugs, establishing
a system of central rural schools, and
the permission for use of convict labor
on public highways. This latter should
be especially looked after, and if the
prisoners now sent to New Castle County
Workhouse from the lower counties can
be made to labor on the roads, the cost
to the taxpayers will be no more than it |
IS now, and the public will get practical |
return for the cost of keeping the culprit
IN confinement by having better roads.
The counties have modern road macbin-
cry, either in service or ready to secure
such, and the convict labor can be used
to do grading and other labor which will /
