Thejpav ornment pays the railroads as much or more for carrying the mails ,than it costs to operate the entire ti;ain upon which the malls are carried. "5. The railroads of Europe are re nuired, so I understand, to protect life by employing an army of watchmen, flagmen, etc., and fencing the rlgjit-pf-way. This costs the railroads adv Im mense sum. ' "Now, if the people, through their national and local governments, donate the right-of-way, give millions of acres of land and raise thousands, yea millions of dollars, as an induce ment for carrying the mails, is it any wonder that their charges for trans porting passengers and freight com pare favorably with the charges made in Europe where no aid was extended to construct the roads and the gov ernment requires them to carry the mails free and to protect human life jit great expense." ANTIQUITY OF "TAINTED MONEY" Suppose it is true, as they have dis covered at the University of Chicago, that there has been tainted money in use since the beginning of things? What follows then? Professor Shepardson, described as "a leading authority on American his tory," tells us that "Faneuil hall, the CLUB OFFER Any one of the following will bo sent with THE COMMONER, both ono year, for the club price. 1 Periodicals may bo sent to different ad dresses If desired.

Suppose this is true? Suppose it is true than Bunker Hill monument stands in part for the profits of rum tainted with additional profits on the slave trade? Suppose the state house at Richmond, Va., and the capitol at Washington had at least 40 per cent of the stones In them laid by tainted money, derived from the profits of the, slave labor brought from Africa in ex changejjpr tainted rum? SuppojKithi is only a small part of what might be said of what went on unchecked until it developed into the civil war and the reconstruction period when we may suppose that we had taint enough accumulated in our money sup ply to infect a planet? What Is the argument from it at the Chicago university when the ques tion is of tainted money now and for the future? No matter what the Chicago argu ment, the fact of history is that the popular suffering accompanying such things has been almost, if not quite, past the belief of those who did not In some measure share It, There is a great deal, a very great deal, in American history we cannot afford to allow to repeat itself. And most of this belongs to the history made by tainted money. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. V0LB 5, NUMBEH SI vPSfBt IEMDINE PUEBER FEDERAL LIFE INSURANCE. United States Senator Drvden is nog.

In this he is ioinfid hv representatives of the other great life Insurances companies besides the Pru dential of New Jersey, of which Mr. Dryden Is President. They state their object to be relief from the necessity of "conforming to the laws and regu lations of the different states." The life insurance companies now have three of their officials in the United States senate Dryden of New Jersey, Depew of New York, and Bul keley of Connecticut. Insurance legis lation favored by these men' may well be carefully scrutinized. "Under fed eral supervision what possibility could there have been of a public legislative Insurance Investigation such as New York has ordered, or even of a partial Investigation like that of Sunerintmiri. ent Hendricks's? States like Wlscon-I nuum uc juuuiuuuu iroin requiring dividends to be paid every five years. Insurance commissioners like Cutting of Massachusetts would have no power. If the department of corporations cannot remedy the evils of the beef trust, what likelihood Is there that it would correct the more Intricate pro cesses of taking the people's money from them which the GxnnanrA nf Equitable corruption revealed? What Is needed Is not protection of the in surance magnates from the people but increased protection of the people from the manipulators of their savings. The supreme court of the United States has decided that life insurance is not interstate commerce and that its regulation is not within the scope of the powers of the federal govern ment. This minor obstacle, Senator Dryden confidently says, will bo over come by the Rresent court reversing the decision of Its predecessors. Such a statement is an insult to the court New York World.
