Pjw John Samuels Paid a $3,oo
Mortgage.
John, Samuels lives in Brown coun
ty, Kansas. He is a farmer thirty-five
years of age. - He came to Kansas from
the East in '81, bringing a young wife,
two childrenand some money. The
money he invested in. 160 acres of land.
He Daid a good price six thousand dol
lars, two thousand down and. a mort
gage back for four . thousand. . But ft
wa3 a . well-improved farm and
v u iu it.., . .. . -:.
- There , have . been, fat and lean years,
in Kansas, and: in 1902 John Samuels
still owed three: thousand, dollars on
hia n1cp TTa had reduced the debt
one thousand dollars, an average' of
one hundred dollars per year, and Kept
the interest paid up. -His expenses in
creased with the growth of his family
His -wife's health was not so good' or
- late, and he paid an" - occasional doc-
tor's bill. ' Some " improvements and
extensions must be-made tn the farm
buildings. He would be fortunate if
he could make these additional neces
sary expenditures', keep his interest
paid up and continue applying . one
hundred dollars per year on the mort
-trace. ' ' : ' " " - "-
He realized at this rate he will be a
ery old man before the farm" will be
free from debt. If he dies the home,
will be sold: perhaps at a time when
it may bring little, if any, nadre than
tne mortgage, xne, savings oi a .me-,
time will be lost" and the wife arid ehU-'

One day a stranger- appeared . : and
asked permikii'.to..' explain life, in,?
eurance. Mr. Samuels iisteneq. intent
iy. conceded it was, just, what he need
ed. that he would like a policy - if he-
could pay for it. but he owed three
thousand dollars on his farm, and ;it
. was all he. could do ito ;pay tne interest
and -a hundred dollars a year on-thfe
principal: As the. premium on a poK
icy at his age would be $102.60, "he did
not see how he could carry it.
"Suppose," said the agent, "the per
son who holds this mortgage on the
farm should say to you : 'If you con
tinue to nay the Interest as Before, but
instead of paying one hundred dollars
a year on the principal, pay me $102,60
per year, I will, if you -die, cancel the
tnorteafce. giving your wife the farm
If you live twenty years, I will release
the mortgage, giving the farm to you.
You surely would accept such a propo
sition. Now: Mr. Samuels. . continue
' paying the interest, ; but instead Of
paying one hundred dollars per year
on the -principal, take a three thou
sand dollar policy in the Old - Line
Bankers Life . Insurance , Company . of
Nebraska, which at your age. thirty-
five, will cost $102.60 each year for
twenty years. If you die, your life in
eurance will pay. the loan and leave
your home free. f.,debt. If you live
, twenty years, your;. cash r settlement,
. consisting of the . guaranteed reserve
and estimated surplus will pay the
morteaee and leave you $210.45. You
have paid out $2,052.00. and have left
$210.45, thus paying a debt of three
thousand dollars- with , $1,841.55,. . or
sixty-two cents on the dollar, having
meanwhile a , guarantee that, should
you die. the debt is canceled. '
For more than a century ."farms and
tomes have been paid for in this man
ner, by policies in Old Line Insurance
Companies. Permit our agent to ex
plain the details more fully. If you
want more land, ask for Circular No.' 1
"How Jones Bought and Paid for a
$6,000 Farm." If you are a renter, or
Just starting In business, or working
for a salary, ask for Circular No. 3
showing how, without security on your
part, you may.buy a bond on twenty
years' time, guaranteeing to your f am

. self a home If you live.

f Cincinnati, Oct: 11 "An Editor's

Mr. BIgelow said in. part: ,

so-called republican. But they are
both monopolists. They ; love their
privileges more than their party prin
ciples. This is evidenced by tne tact
that they r- have, joined issue this year
in their opoosition to the candidacy of
Mayor Tom L.-Johnson for governor.
Why do they oppose him 7 Tney say
it is because ; he is a socialist,' They

Thft Enauirer editor savs: "The
thnlA tpniiennv. nf the movement
which Mr. Johnson is engineering is
in the .direction . or state sociansm."
To. this the Times Star editor, says,
' Amen.", , Both papers publish the
same editorial, and agree that the
views of Mr. Johnson "are the widest
possible departure from the sound and
seasoned democracy of the fathers.
At his recent Music Hall meeting in
Cincinnati, Mayor Johnson, was . In
terrupted by a socialist, , Replying to
the, questioner, be said:
-All enterprises which are in tneir
nature private, should be left in pri
vate hands, and are not the. business of
the government . liut.wnen you ..nave
ar enterprise, which is, in its .very, na,-

ratnrif a monoDOlv , fcuslness.f ! i WO
tpifinhnnft companies are, , a nuisance
Iti is necessary- to;, the- convenience of
exchange - and .that each ; subscriber
shall be in communication with every
other. The welfare .of the community
requires that there shall be but one
qompany. But every community has
to meet the Question.- Y no snail oe
the company,?'.' : If the telephone busi
ness is left in private hands, the com
munity,j by some .franchise grant, has
to declare, in effect, that some one in
dividual, or corporation, and no other,
shall have the privilege of engaging in
the business. Tnat means a private
monopoly. Practically, the only- es
cape from it Is in municipal owner
ship. '-- ' . " ;
What is. true of the telepnone busi
I? ess is equally trua of the gas-and
electric light and street railway com
panies. " :
There ' is no more sense in naving
the streets torn up by competing gas
mmDanies than there is in having tne
city disfigured by the poles and wires
of competing telephone companies
One company can perform the work
better than' two or more, uompeti
tion is sometimes resorted to as a
means of; escaping an oppressive mo
nonolv. but such competition is short
lived, for consolidation is tne natura
law.
Whv has it become the almost, uni
versal practice for American cities to
own their own water works 7 It is be
cause it is a business which Is best
left to some one company and. experi
ence has proven that; It is not good
public policy to give to a private cor
poration a monopoly or tne water sup
tiIv of a citv. "
i Whv. then, should a private com
pany have the exclusive privilege or
furnishing gas to a city, or electric
lieht, or street railway transportation?
All the arguments in favor of the city
owniner its own water works apply
equally to the problem of city light-
in a- or transportation.
.The difference between Mayor John
son and the socialists Is this: The
socialists believe that the state should

.No assessments.; Assured assumes no liability. If there
is no agent in your town write direct to the company
'hpiievps 'it: -would be a calamity for the
state to invade the field of private en
terpFises. He is an uncompromising
individualist and wants the state to
keep its hands off of everything tnat
can be "safely left to private enter
nrisp. H sees: however: that these
public utilities cannot safely be left
in private nanas.
Thfl mnst pommon oblection to so-
that it would interfere with
the freedom of the individual. Mayor
Johnson believes that the true aim .01
government is to secure to eacn lncn
riiimi thp widest nossible freedom
consistent with the rights of others.
This Is his reason for being opposed
tc socialism. . This is also his reason
for being in favor of each community
owning its own public utilities. For
when all the citizens are aepenueut
upon one compandor their light, they
are nnf frft. Thev are at the mercy
of a monopoly. . Since competition is
rot practicable, the only way inere
fcre to protect them In their freedom
is to have a public lighting plant and
make each citizen a.i equal partner in
the concern. If the freedom of the in
dividual is to be guarded, government
must reach out '.d take In these pub
lic utilities. Mori than that, the gov
ernment has no right to do. And this
U just the difference between social
ism and the individualism of Mayor
Johnson.
But it is not to be presumed that
trifl editors above mentioned are ignor
ant of this broad distinction between
Mayor Johnson's views and those or
the socialists. ,. They know he is not
a socialist. But they think socialism
will prove a good club with which to
beat him. And w?.y do they wish to
beat him? The answer is plain. The
editor of the Enquirer enjoys the gas
monopoly in -the city of Washington,
D. C, while the wife of the editor of
the' Times Star owns the gas company
of Cleveland. Monopoly is thicker
than politics, tt is not because Mayor
Johnson is a socialist, for he is not,
but it is because he believes each com
munity should have a gas plant of its
own Just as It now has its own water
works thi3 is the reason- that these
editors make common cause against
him;.. .' ; ... ' -. . . '?'
: I "would not have them go out of
the gas business. While these things
are in private hands, why not in: their
hands? But when they enter into a
conspiracy to deceive the people In
order to keep their privileges, they do
wrong. ': '''' " ' ' ' : ''
"As a coop is full of birds, so ate'
their houses full of deceit; therefore
they are become great, and waxen,
rich." : '
Thev usetheir newsnabers as the
burglar uses his pistols, to protect
their plunder. ' In sucn journalism
there is no conscience and no honor.
Such naners will find a market with
the thoughtless and the ignorant. But-
all right-thinking citizens will hold
them in contempt. N ' 7
In exposing the selfish motives of
these two editors, I. have remembered
Jjowell's ironical advice: " :
"I'm willin a men should go tolerable
' strong . '
Agin wrong in the abstract; for that
- kind of wrong - -- ' :
Is allays unpop'lar, and never gets
pitied,
Because Its the wrong no one ever'
committed:
But he musen't e hard on partlc'lar
sins, ' - '
'Cause then he'll e kickin' the peo
ple's own shins."
