The following letter to United aiates aenaiur ,"" Dryden was made public today by the officers of the Ohio Policyholders' as sociation: "Dear Sir: Your circular, with four questions attached, has been referred to the Ohio Life Policyholders' as sociation by a number of persons re ceiving the same, with the request that we answer the same on behalf of this association. "The object which you seem to have in view of your questions is to get as niany names as possible in favor of a change from the mild supervision of the states in order that insurance companies may escape the burden of state taxation. "As we understand It, you are not asking for any increase in the sever ity of the regulation and control of thft insurance . business. The policy holders are asking or will ask for siirh regulation and control as will as far as possible, protect them, for if they are protected the insurance companies are protected. To this end the Ohio Policyholders' association favors such control and regulation as will limit the loading of premium charges. The excessive and exorbit ant charges made for all classes of life insurance leads to such phenome nal profits to stock companies and to such enormous accumurations by mu tual companies that in themselves they are temptations to men to do wrong. So if congress nas the power to regulate and control, and will regu late and control life insurance busi ness because it is interstate com merce, it will also have . the . power to limit the rates charged just as President Roosevelt asks congress to regulate the k. charges . on interstate commerce on railways, and' it will be far easier, to do justice .to ihe insur ance companies in this, regard. "This association .wilf read, with inT terest the bill which you say you will introduce in the next, session of con errpss. Would vou be willing to sub mit that proposed measure to us prior to its introduction? You say it is a matter vitally affecting the welfare of the American people and so it is, and therefore you should be willing to submit it: to the American people for their consideration, if you really de sire a comprehensive expression of qualified public opinion, we have over 5,000 members in Ohio and we will submit your proposed bill to each one of them if you will give us the opportunity." : Rubasano. a full blooded Kaffir, a savage : until his eighteenth year, - is today a poet, pastor, patriot, and a scholar who has mastered -jsngnsn, Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, and is now engaged in London in the first trans lation of the Bible into his ; native tongue. . . : ' ; Look for this brand on har ness, collars, saddles, horse J blankets, lap robes, etc. Made Harpham Bros., Go.

EXC0LLO SILIC co., Et N.w Jefl.y. The Free Pass Bribery System A new book just from the press and now ready for delivery. BY GEORGE W. BERGE. ii' The whole country is shocked at the disclosures of money brib ery in many of our cities But what will the people say when they learn that railroad pass bribery is even a greater evil than bribery with money ? Money bribery in St. Louis, in Milwaukee, in Philadelphia and many other cities where in vestiyations have been made, is insignificant compared to rail road pass bribery in most of the. stales in the country. Few men comparatively can be bribed with money, but many can be bribed with free railroad passes. . ; Nearlu every state has its free pass organization. This organization is a sort of police force for the rdilroads. It is not only a slate organization, but subordinate organizations are mainlained'-in the counties, cities and even in, the precincts and wards. This organized force is a political power absolutely supreme. It dictates nominations of candidates for all offices. It sets up' weak and pliant tools and pulls down strong and independent men. . . - r - I It makes and unmakes men. " It builds up or destroys cities and private business enterprise at will. In oilier words it is the real master of destiny, both politi- n cat and commercial. , THAT THIS BRIBERY SYSTEM MUST FIRST BE DESTROYED BEFORE WE CAN GET BACK REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT AGAIN AND GET WHOLESOME LEGISLATION, IS THE CONTEN TION Op THE AUTHOR IN THIS BOOK. - i It is the first book ever wiHtcn upon the subject and everybody will want to read it.
