Congress Recognized
Insurance as a Big
Business Feature

"The recognition of insurance as
one of the leading lines of business
receiving consideration by the Trans
mississippi Readjustment congress
is in line with the progressive char
acter of the entire undertaking" said
HI. HI. Lowell, insurer, in speaking
of the congress just closed in Oma-
ha. THE spirit of the congress has
been largely the recognition Of ne
cessity to halt growing tendency
towards Capitalization and bolshe-
vistic paternalism in all lines. The
cabled news from Russia of the taxi
ing over without recompense of the
entire assets of all insurance COM
panies of the soviet government,
had it come a day earlier might
have strongly emphasized to the
congress the necessity of hating a
similar tendency by the unpatriotic
and ultra-socialistic elements in this
country.
"The congress was not represent
tative of either extreme capital in
terests or the opposite, but of sub
stantial, honest and aggressive bust
ness interests, and the strong recon-
mendations included in the resolu-
tons expressing the combined
thought of the conference along the
line of independence of individual
effort and initiative, the depreca-
ton of unfair treatment of public
utilities by governmental agencies,
and against condemnation and un-
fair publicity by unproven charges
against business organizations can
not apply nor be more helpful to
any interest than to the interests of
insurance.
"The entire trend of public
thought influenced by the broadly
educational discussions of these
problems is sure to be conducive
of broader and more considerate
recognition of the infinitely extern
sive relations between insurance and
other industry. The conference
cannot fail to be most beneficial
in continuing prosperous business
activities, and insurance is so close
" related to business and business
so dependent upon it that the gem
eral good to general business will
be shared by all lines of insurance
endeavor."

under 81 years of age from securing
it in any form.
They contended that they were
sincerely engaged in an effort that
would be constructive legislation,
that the present law was nullihed
because it was not backed by pub
lie sentiment and that it was a
menace to all law because it had no
qualities which the public could
respect.
They called the attention of the
members of the house to the fact
that the senate of the state of Iowa
had passed a law similar to the one
they advocated, after Iowa had had
experience with law like that on
the Nebraska statutes which was
not enforceable.
They agreed that to all intents
and purposes there was now no
law on the subject of the regula-
ton, sale of or gift of cigarets, be-
cause the present statute was a dead
letter and they were greater friends
of the movement toward prohibi-
ton of the use of cigarets by per-
sons under 81 than the persons who
opposed the passage of the bill.
Larsen of Douglas, offered mo-
ton to prohibit the sale, manufac-
ture, gift or use of cigarets in any
form in this state by any person,
but this was also voted down.
1t was brought out during the de-
bate that the law as amended has
been sanctioned by the attorney gem
eral, who has assured the sponsors
that it will be workable and en-
forceable law, Because it will have
public sentiment behind it, and that
this department will see to its en-
forcement.
Rodman of Kimball, made
mastery speech in favor of the bill,
declaring it was step forward and
a conscientious and sincere effort
toward effective regulation.

RECOGNITION
GIVEN BY ALLIES
TO PADEREWSKI
Polish Premier Appeals to
Parliament for Vote of Con-
fidenCe; PiIsudSki Made
Head of State.

Paris, Feb. 21.-Oficial announce
ment was made today that the rep
resentatives of the allies at their
meeting at the Quai D'Orsay today
decided that the allies should recog-
nize the Polish government, headed
by Ignace Jan Paderewski.
Warsaw, Feb. 2l.--The second
important meeting of Europe's new
est parliament, the Polish national
assembly, Thursday was marked by
the formal turning over by Gen
Joseph Pilsudski of his authority
as dictator and its return to him,
subject to the approval of the diet.
Ignace Jan Paderewski, the premier
informed the parliament of the
country's situation and asked for a
vote of confidence in the ministry.
The presence of peasants in ma
tional costume, with here and there
priests and rabbis, testified that the
assembly was not ruled by a clique
of landed nobility.
Asks For Large Army.
Premier Paderewiski in lengthy
address, declared that the country
needed large army and compulsory
service to fight bolshevism. Second
ly, he said, another effort must be
made to promote the prosperity of
the workers and give them better
homes. Land must be secured to
peasants who had none and more
given to those who had only a little,
but land reforms must not be car
ried out too hastily. Equal rights
must be given to all Polish citizens
and freedom of speech guaranteed.

BORAH ATTACKS
WILSON'S WORLD
LEAGUE PROJECT
Idaho Senator Insists U. S.
Should Cling to Ameri-
Canism as Defined
by Roosevelt.

Washington, Feb 2l.-Criticizing
he league OF nations as the most
radical departure" from President
Washington's policies and as SPELL
ing the end of the Monroe doctrine,
Senator Borah of Idaho, republican
member Of foreign relations commit
tee, declared today in the senate
that before the plan was adopted
the American people should be al
lowed to give a verdict on it.
The Idaho senator, who recently
declined President Wilson's invita-
ton to a White House conference
next Wednesday to discuss the
league constitution insisted that the
United States should steadfastly
cling to Americanism as established
by the fathers and as recently de-
fined by former President Roose-
welt. He charged that former Pres
ident Taft made misleading state
ments about the effect of the leagues
plan on American policies.
Congratulated by Colleagues.
When Senator Borah concluded
an unusual demonstration occurred
While crowded galleries applauded
senators and visiting representatives
crowded around the senator seeking
to congratulate him. Among the
senators were several democrats, in
Guiding Thomas of Colorado; Gore
of Oklahoma, Smith of Georgia and
Nardaman of Mississippi.
Before Mr.. Borah spoke Senator
Sherman of Illinois, republican, in
PRODUCED a resolution proposing that
the senate request President Wilson
not to discuss the league until after
he confers with the senate, the CO.
ordinate treaty making branch, and
to preserve an impartial and UNI
biased mind" on the subject.
Hitchcock Preparing Address.
Tomorrow the attack on the
league in the senate is to be con-
tinued with Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, democrat, speaking. Sem
ator Hitchcock, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, and Sen
ator Lewis of Illinois, democratic
whip, are reported planning address,
es in support of the league early
next week, when Senator Cummins of
Iowa, republican, may also make an
address.
Senator Borah said he made his
speech today especially because of
what he termed misleading state
ments of former President Taft. He
disagreed with Mr.. Taft's assertions
that the league does not conflict
with the Monroe doctrine or Wash
ington's injunction against entan-
Cling alliances.
Declaring that America would be
outvoted five to one by England
alone, because of the recognition
OF British colonies, Senator Borah
said the league constitution was "the
greatest triumph of English diplo-
macy OF three centuries" He added
that the English press and other
foreign authorities concede that the
plan involves the end of the Mon
roe doctrine. E
