joined her in silence, his arm touching
hers on the rail.
She saw his profile outlined against

But with sundown she got queer

In fact, about 1920 of all payments made by
Metropolitan to its polcyholders and their
benefciaries during 1887 came from dollars re-
ceived in earlier years and accumulated in the
company's reserve funds
Rsssrvss Just as part of all payments to policy
holders comes from reserves, part of each
dollar received goes into reserves to meet future
payments.
To make sure that all life insurance policies
will be paid when they become due, sound COM
pany practice and the law require that reserve
fund be maintained
A legal reserve life insurance company also
carries special contingency reserve or surplus
fund =. an additional guarantee that claims
will be paid even in times of emergency such
as great epidemics or economic distress.
These funds which eventually 60 back to

There is the compensation of the men and

money that was actually needed, this difference
is returned to the policyholders as dividends.

telligent conduct and hence the
platform speaks frankly In favor OF
the right of any employe ito join
any labor organization he wishes
or none at all, as he may deem best
in his own interests" But, the plat
form adds, the action taken in this
regard should be arrived at as a
matter of his own free will and
volition, without coercion, duress or
intimidation from any sources
The foregoing statement OF prln-
ciple will be universally accepted
though there may be differences OF
opinion as to whether State or Fed
eral power, or both, should be in
voked to protect the citizen IN the
exercise of his wishes.
"The functions of industry" says
the platform, cannot be performed
under conditions of litigation and
conflict" Here is the whole essence
of American principle as it relates
to labor relations. The Congress OF
Industry has thus uttered a pro-
found truth in a tone Of restraint
and objectivity.
The platform is the type Of docu-
ment which might well have come
from the hands of enlightened busl-
nessmen in Britain, where forward
looking doctrines have in recent
years come to be a part of business
philosophy. More than three
months work was put on the franz
ing of the text of the platform by
the leaders of American enterprise
and, as such, it will take rank as
one of the notable pronouncements
of the year 1899 and will long be re-
ferred to as basic study of a de-
cent American business system.

His Address Is Seen os Challenge to Nations

ure of the success of our politicians
in finding, as Mr.. Farley says, "the
greatest common divisor of public
opinion and in giving the result
form and substance" Is the measure
of our success as q democratic Ma
ton.
Your politician knows what some
one has wisely called "the impor-
tance of being unprincipled." BY
this is meant the Importance Of not
letting an impossible counsel Of per-
fection stand in the way of work.
able compromise that will permit
the wheels of government to keep
turning. None but the head Of an
absolutism-a Stain or a Fuehrer-
can play the perfectionist; those in
authority in "a democracy must
practice the art of compromise, or,
if you will, play politics.
Mr.. Farley is justified in saying
that it is not chance alone which
has kept us on a fairly even keel
in a storm-racked world" but that
some credit must be given first to
the singular clear-sightedness of the
men who drew the Constitution"
and secondly, to "the fact that
American politicians, whatever their
sins, in general have realized that
their task Is to make the machinery
work, not to f1lld ways by which 1t
can be made to fail"
Challenge to Businessmen.
He chose an appropriate forum
for his speech, for it is the business
man most often who abuses the
politician and calls for more busi-
ness in government" In a sense,
his speech is a challenge to busi-
nessmen to put up or shut up
that is, to stop talking about the
evils of politics unless they are will
ing to come in and lend hand
toward improvement. He doesn't
state the case in this way, but says
only, There is a great opportunity
in public service for businessmen.
And he adds that If they do come
In they will have to add to the
qualities that make for business Sue
cess "A certain sensitive quality:
The ability to understand public
opinion, the willingness to compose
differences, the realization that in
politics no one can act alone, wheth-
er the affair concerns the fifth
precinct of the sixth ward or the
national interest of the United
States"
The adage says that "A statesman
is a dead politician" Hidden be-
hind its cynicism is full recognition
of the truth of Mr.. Farley's thesis:
That the distinctive art of the poll
tician is a necessary part of the
functioning of our kind of govern
ment, from top to bottom. Better

Metropolitan Opero
Gives Versatile U. 5.
Singer q Debut
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Several weeks ago, Gene Buck,
president Of the American Society
Of Composers, Authors and Publish
ers, raked the music impresarios
fore and aft for not giving more
encouragement to native talent.
Coming up then was a native singer,
to make his debut at the Metropoh-
tan last Wednesday night at the
age of 80, but after IS years of a
successful European career. He is
Eyvind Laholm, a native Of Eau
Claire, Wis, who found incidental
preparation for his current role in
die Walkuere" in the Wagnerian
dissonance of mine hoists, the click
Of car wheels when he rode the
rods" the scram of sawmills, and
the more carefully ordered clang
and clatter of battleships. He sang
tenor accompaniment to these
symphonies.
More than feet tall, powerful in
stature, he portrayed lusty Sieg-
mund and was warmly welcomed
by the critics as IAN asset to the
Metropolitan ranks" and by the
audience, too, although he did not
receive an ovation. Dignity and
taste characterized his role; his
European reputation is firmly estab-
hshed, and far away and long ago
was that Wagnerian showing around
IN the days when he was heavy
weight boxing champion of the
Navy.
He was educated in the grade
schools of Birmingham, Ala, and
Boulder, Colo, and at the age of
IA began his wanderjahn Of not
one but five years. His name was
Edwin johnson. Laholm is the
name of the birthplace of his Swed-
ish parents. and Eyvind is an ar
chaic Swedish form of Edwin.
In Mexico and the Far West he
was a powder monkey and mucker
in the mines, pitched hay and
MIXED cows on ranches and in
Goldfield, New. and Helena. Mont,
fought for $40 a fight. His rec
ord, including his three months as
United States Fleet champion in
1918, shows Is knockouts in 40
fights. He was knocked out three
| times.
/ On his release from the Navy In
1919 he went to New York and stud
led for five years under William S.
Brady, supporting himself by caba-
ret and vaudeville singing engage
ments. At the end of this period
he was engaged by the Municipal
Opera at Essen, later singing in
many other German cities and in
most of the capitals of Europe. He
has repertoire of more than so
operas and in his European sojourn
mastered the French. Italian. Span
ish, Swedish and Danish languages.
