GROUP INSURANCE FOR
 CITY EMPLOYES

Group insurance for city em- nloves which it is reported will be discussed at the next meeting Of the board of finance and taxation would have been considered a radi- cal venture several decades ago; but since that time much radicalism has become genteel conservatism and nowadays it is regarded as a good thing. c
 With the staying of Patrolmah James skelly still fresh in memory the committee will find that citi- zens as a rule are in favor of such protection for the dependents of it's public servants, particularly po- licemen and firemen.
 It is declared that existing char ter and ordinance regulations may not permit the city to allow com pepsation for the family of Patrol" man skelly. This is pure supposi- tion. No matter what the charter and ordinances say, any first class lawyer should be able to show the city how to get around them and nav the widow of the patrolmar compensation for his death while IT the service of the city. Failure tc nay such compensation would be black blot upon the fair name ol the city.

A KANSAS CYCLONE WITH
 WHITE TRIMMINGS

Out in Kansas there is an cleo tion campaign with bark on it. William Allen White is furnishing the pep that of rights ought to be- long to a political uphcavsl, but somehow, in these blase days, few states are fortunate enough to pos sess such a colortul genius as the Emporia editor.
 As a hand shaker White is the ouintessence of popularity, He sd- mits that one night they nearly shook his hand of" and the next day he had difficulty in writing his daily dozen of cxpletives calculated to burn the hide of his political enemies.
 Having vowed "to clean the klan out of its COW pastures" a canvass has showed that he already has ''cured the Kansas politicians of sucking the Ku Klux eggs for the next ten years"
 The Republican state machine re- ceives considerable complimentary notice from White. At a meeting Of state teachers he declared that If that band of morons down al Topeka doesn't get out of the hs-@-'

NOW WE KNOW HOW ANARCHISTS ARE MADE

Even the staunchest Republicans must have shuddered when they read former Governor Marcus Hol- combs openly expressed opinion that electors voting for LaFollette should be shot. In democracy where the ballot, not the bullet. is supposed to prevail, the suggestion shocked public decency and lowered the speaker to the level of scat ter -brained soapbox orator.
 For some time Republican cam paign orators have broadcast the prediction that the election of La Toilette will bring the United States to sovietism. None less than the erudite Rev. Dr. Sven c. Oh- man made such prediction in this city Tuesday night. The public has had dinned into It's ears the na- tional menace Of LaFolletteism, the claim being made that our govern ment would be turned over to the reds" whoever shey are, If the leader is elected. But we doubt if Bob LaFollette in the moment Of his greatest zeal to right wrongs ever suggested that those who dis agree with him be silenced with a rifle.
 The constitution of the United States gives to every man ana woman the privilege of free speech and opinion. By urging death for those who register their preference for LaFollette for president ex- Governor Holcomh violates that im- mortal document, engenders hatred among the masses and makes the average man wonder whether occu- pants of high stations in life can es- cane bame for the discontent which is abroad in the land. Elk Governor Holcomb has caused a blot to appear on the fair escuteh- con of Connecticut and owes an apology to the people of this oonn- monwealth.
 We recommend that he reao CScero's "De Senectute,' whicr leads the aged and decrepid along paths of pleasant thoughts and re- trospection and bids them chase gne clouds of bitterness churllsh ness and disappointment out O sheir mental skies.

This Is What Love Does

It was one of those rare but not altogether extinct times when a man and his wife were holding love- making conversation reminiscent of the good old days before the wan AS is usual with women when in a tender mood, the deficiencies were forgotten for the moment and she was actually speaking well of him, strange and improbably as it may seem.
 Go on," he remarked teasingly, .ff I were to die tomorrow Youd marry again in no time"
 She wheeled from the gas ange and said in a voice trembling with emotion: T wouldn't wipe mX feet on the best man who ever lived except you"
 And he went back to his work feeling real happy

HUGE OIL SURPLt $ AND MOTORISTS

The gasoline business is in ter rible flx-according to the oil com panies. There admittedly are 5O0,- , 100000 barrels of oil in storage and it is costing the industry sl5O,' 000,000 year to carry it, ac' cording to the Standard Oil com. pany Of New Jersey.
 Where there is such a surplus oi product over immediate needs. the only remedy would be to stop tho 1 output until the surplus were within reasonable bounds. But the Stand. ard says this is not possible be cause prices of production temp the producing companies and ad ditions to the surplus continue de spite the enormous demands of thu automobile riding public.
 The situation is illuminative, ant Is best described in the Standard own announcement:
 1 The American petroleum
 industry has stored petroleum
 in costly steel tanks as though
 it feared that each month
 might see the last barrel taken
 from the ground Credit or
 blame for this situation belongs
 equally to the producer and
 purchaser. The purchasing com
 panies have had to take sur k plus oil whether they wanted
 it or not, or see waste and
 bankruptcy in the producing fields.
 | "On the other hand they
 have been guilty of inducing
 men to sink wells when they
 were not needed by paying
 prices that proved attractive
 to the drillers. Whatever the apportionment of responsibility i the industry today finds itself l in the position of being over
 insured against the near future
 It's reserves of oil above ground
 awaiting consumption are much larger than Is either economic
 or comfortable.'
 | Consumption of oil will increas annually, but it is doubtful whethe con.umption will increase in tn near future in anything like tn ratio of increase in the past. Mean time the surplus will be increased gasoline stations will multiply. an prices may huctuate with the sea son-at least, they may slip ever fall and go up every spring. Where there Is such a surplus C 7 oil 1t would appear logical fo prices to hit rock bottom and sta there until the surplus is exhausted assuming that low prices migf have a tendency to increase de l mana. but luS vi hH| that lowered prices do not nave great tendency to increase COT : sumption. The inveterate motors rides no matter what the price
 gasoline seems to be, provided 3 course. the price is not unressof ably high.
 l The cost of carrying the ol which the Standard refers to- pro' ably Is no liability against the con panies, as the cost unquestionao i. passed on to the consumers that were not the case the con panies would lose money ar there is no evidence as yet that al of the major companies are goif
