BEAR WITH THE INSURANCE AGENT.

It is high time that there comes change in
public opinion regarding the life insurance
agent Possibly actual public opinion is not
now so much concerned-nor even general
prejudice-as to the indolent habit of taking the
very old joke about the life insurance agent be-
ing nuisance as genuine coin of thought in
stead of cheap wit. 1t was new joke when life
insurance was a newer thing-half a century
ago. There was crop of telephone jokes when
that useful invention was still a novelty. The
life insurance agent joke, like the mother-in-
law joke, is really no joke at all in these times,
and there is no doubt whatever that this point
is gaining wide appreciation. Let US be at
pains to find something more worth laughing
at as to any genuine prejudice against men OF
this calling it is ungenerous, if not unfair to
harbor it. There have been, and still are, such
agents who are nuisances, but as a general
thing they deserve such rating.
The calling of life insurance agent, espe.

REvIVING A BAD BILL.

The senate Of the United States is to be con-
gratulated OH it's action in refusing to permit
the Burnett immigration bill to be tackled on to
the child labor bill as a rider. No more objec-
tionable use of vicious Legislative trick could
have been conceived than this attempt to attach
the literacy test, already vetoed by the presi-
dent, to a measure which he had championed
as his own.
It is regrettable that the majority senator's
should have given the Burnett bill lease OF
life as a continuing evil by voting in caucus to
take it up the first thing at the next session.
This is a sort Of sop over election to the labor
legislation advocates of measure which has
been disapproved by Presidents Cleveland,
Taft and Wilson. Few congressional miscon-
ceptions deserve death more thoroughly.

a brilliant Genius Gone.

Des Moines Capital: Less than a
month ago H. A. Burrell. the old time
and brilliant editor of the Washington
Iowa, Press, died at the age Of seven
ty-eight. The deceased was brilliant
without any adding to the meaning
of that word for the sake of flattery.
He loved his pipe, his dog, his coun-
try; the best poetry; the best history;
the best men: the best principles; the
best newspapering. He published
paper in the most straight laced, ortho-
dox community In the state, and edu-
Gated them so they could take joke.
Burrell was the town philosopher. He
never wrote an item having any NAL
ice in it. He had his chums in the
newspaper profession. such as Rich
ardson, Clarkson, Hatton, Junkin, Sam
Clark and others. When a republican
state convention was on hand Burrell
was found around the lobby with some
of his chums. He did not take poll
tics seriously. He never ran for Of
flee. He never over-flattered any poll
tician. He loved Gear and Allison.
He made a pet Of Dolliver. He did
not wear himself out collecting small
items that had nothing in them, but
when he come to write of local events
OF any consequence he wrote with
the same care and enthusiasm that
characterized his work in bigger things.
Burrell was humorist, and an anus.
ing writer in the state, when editors
of that class were few. He was tenn
perate in all things, and such a COM
panion would be hard to find if one
contemplated journey across the con-
tinent. In the old days of editorial
excursions, Mr.. and Mrs. Burrell were
always on hand along with many who
have long since passed over the great
divide No one asks how much mon
/ ey he left Nobody in the state at
large knows. But there will be many
tear dropped on the grave Of the
brilliant Burrell. He was a light in
the community where he lived He
was an inspiration to young editors.
This finds an illustration in the COM
munity where he lived and died. The
wit and genius of Alex Miller would
never have sought their way to the
surface except for the example OF Bur-

Far from club or college,

To climb the hill of knowledge

HUGHES ON SUFFRAGE.

With the suffragsts teetering in their party
allegiance. some few bold sisters even advocat-
ing woman IS party, Mr.. Hughes reference to
suffrage bears lively political interest.
This paragraph from Mr.. Hughes speech OF
acceptance is as near advocacy of suffrage
amendment as any candidate could approach
without actually committing himself:

judgment, cannot defeat this movement Nor can l

Mr. Hughes carefully qualities his state

platform on the suffrage issue-at least one
word ahead Promptly" is word seldom
used by politicians in agreement or promise.

universal peace, shows that while his
idealism does not blind him to the
realities OF today he has still in the
range of vision the fair hopes of a
better tomorrow,
Neither Is the warlike aspect Of the
immediate present the only one that
occupies his thoughts. Preparedness
for peace he sees IS an urgent re-
qurement of social and economic
safety. He reaeserts the doctrine OF
protection for American capital and
labor, which is the old and fixed
principle Of the republican party, and
he adapts 1t to the exegencies which
are sure to arise when the present
mirage of munitions prosperity IS
swept away by the cool air Of peace.
Not only in commerce is peace pre-.
paredness his aim, but the great
transportation interests, fiscal adj
justmests, and the interests of labor.
He has aspirations and plans of bet
terment in all fields.
I have preferred to consider this
upbuilding factor In Mr.. Hughes
speech OF acceptance of the repub-
lean nomination rather than refer
to controversial phases. A school boy
can make successful arrangement
of Mr.. Wilson's blundering admins
tration or of the pernicious career
OF democracy in control Of congress
for now too Successive periods. No
wonder that perhaps the ablest law
yer in the country overwhelms them
with conviction OF ineptitude and
worse. The attack Is irresistible.
The crimes and follies OF the last
forty months are mercilessly laid
bare and scourged. There Is no word
Of exaggeration or injustice. The
cruelty of the castigation lies in its
unmitigated truth. 1t should be read
and digested by every one who de-
sires to vote intelligently. to help
