THE OMATIA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1005. An Open Letter to John A. McCall- President New York Life Insurance Company Every man who is now denying himself luxuries, comforts and even necessities, in order that, after his death, his family might enjoy comfort and safety every such man should read Mr. Lawson's burning words in his open letters to John A. McCall, President of the New York Life Insurance Comoany, and to the public. Every woman who is depending on insurance for her support. Every one closely or remotely connected vvvith life insurance should get the the November number of Everybody's, read the full text of Mr. Lawson's letters (of which parts are quoted below) and send Mr. Lawson their proxies or add their names to the hundred thousand who have already written him. To John A. McCall, President Kew York Life Insarwnre Co. Sir: It Is time your attention was called to the moral sens of the American people. It I time you were shown yourself ss you are today wen by the millions of your countrymen, who, a month ago, be lieved you to be a great and honorable man. In spite of the terrible exposures of the last few weeks. In spite of the un veiling of the Jugglery, grafting and cor ruption of your administration of the most sacred trust that can be confided to man, you remain unconvinced of your fall and unpenetr&ted by your shame, for getting that the enemy against whom your maneuvers were directed was the American people, and that your character and reputation were as absolutely before the bar as though you had been Indicted for sequestration of the funds of some dead friends wife. Tou have made yourself the custodian of these funds under sacred pledge of square dealing and honefet administration. Vou have made yourself the national executor of the widow and the orphan. Hundred of millions of dollars have been L'OnHded to you annually scores of millions Beginning over a year ago, Everybody's Magazine has steadily attacked the legalized robbers of the business community, until the whole country has become keenly alive to the evil powers which we are struggling to destroy, and which have been in the way of President Roosevelt's "Square Deal fo Every ' Man." This destructive process must go on until the money of widows and or phans shall be safe; until beef trusts shall no longer control the food supplies; until the concentrated rottenness of many years shall be shaken out of the great business! of our country; and until municipal, state and federal government shall everywhere be clean and honest.

ROYAL BATTLE SET DOWN FOR SATURDAY "ornhnskera In Good Shnpe nnd Each Man on the Team Confident of Winning; from Yost's Warriors. umniy" Booth and his nineteen husky rornhusker warriors passed through Omaha last night on their way , from Lincoln to Ann Arbor to meet Test's Wolverines on the gridiron Saturday afternoon. When their train pulled Into the Burlington sta tion they were greeted by the swinging 'IT-U-U-n-r from the throats of twenty live former Nebraska students, who were there to meet them. They were not expect ing any demonstration, and , when they heard the old familiar Nebraska yell, they hastily piled out of- the sleeper upon the platform. Coach Booth among them. Then ensued a jubilation that sent the Corn huskera across the Missouri river feeling that the heart of all Nebraska waa with them. There waa not one doubter In the lot. Bvery man on the team thought Nebraska would win. Assistant Coach Westover hopped on one foot as he shook hands with Dln Ringer, Nebraska's old right guard, who waa down to see the team. Booth, the coach, said: "There is no use to boast. Nebraska is goliig up against a hard proposition. Besides being unbeaten for the past Ave years. Michigan has a heavier team and also will present more veteran players. Kither of these is a big advantage. But J do not admit defeat, and If Michigan wins It will be by virtue of hard foot ball, for the Cornhuskers are keyed up to offer stern resistance, and I will be sadly mistaken If we are run over or defeated by a one-sided score. I think Nebraska's defense Is stronger now than at any time during the six years I have reached here, and if -there are any weak spots In Michigan's defense there ought to be something doing on our part." Westover Is Sancalne. " I saw those fellows play last Saturday." aald Westover. "and they have got to do better than that next Saturday If they want to win. I feef sure that Nebraska will take the gams. We have the best team In the history of the university, and every man is going Into the battle with all the strength and ginger there Is in him." Benedict will play end. He Is still suffer ing from an Injury to the knee received In the game last year with Iowa, but it is thought that a good bandage will allow him to play in his old-time form. Borg has a weak ankle. Aside from these injuries, the team is In the pink of condition. Tha squad Includes the following players: Borg.- Benedict, Johnson, Denslow, Cotton, Weller, Burns. Taylor. Rice. NeUon, Morse, Eager, Wilson, Schmidt, Little, Mason. Lnnts. Lundln and Berkley. The Nebraska aneup for the first half will be: Benedict BrVKQliET HALL no inch thlno- paying the tame price and. getting- tha am quality. At your tobac couUt .CIGARS of the nation have been turned Into your coffers. With this money you have been rigging syndicates, debauching legis latures, manipulating stock markets and doing other things which will be proven later. Instead of employing the vast power and the Immense wealth Intrusted to you to conserve the Interests of your policyholders, you have made yourself a part of the cruel robbing machine which the 'System" has created to deprive the American people of their savings. Yet today you describe the Investigation being conducted Into your operations as an Impertinence you are unre pentant, unashamed and defiant.

When the team left Lincoln In tha after noon over 1,000 Nebraska students, accom panied by the university band, assembled at the station and gave them a rousing sendoff. A big band wagon, draped In scarlet and cream, the Nebraska colors, was used to transport Booth'a men to the station, the motive poWer being supplied by fully 200 students, who pulled the vehicle through the streets. The enthusiasm dis played outrivalled any similar demonstra tion in the history of the university. A signal practice this afternoon lasting over an hour waa the final chapter In the prac tice preparations for the Michigan game. Scrimmaging waa not attempted, but the running of signals was at a faster pace than at any time this year. HIGH SCHOOL V. QI TH OMAHA Second Game of Season with Magic City Hoys. Visitors at the high school this week will have their attention attracted by a peculiar tag worn by a great majority of the pupils. The tag reveals this important fact, "I am going to tho foot ball go me Saturday." The boys will play their second game of the seamin at the Sprague street park Satur day afternoon against the South Omaha High school team. Notwithstanding the hard game of last Saturday, against a much heavier team, the players are all in excellent condition, and will put up a stilt game against South.

IOWA KOISDISG IVro BETTER FORM Last Hrrlunaft Practice Gives 'Var sity Supporters Hope. IOWA CITY. la.. Oct. 19-(Speclal Tele- firam.i The Huwkeye squad closed the lurrlest week's work of toe season with a rattling irrinimuiif practice, in which the regulars demonstrated that they have profited by the coaching of Chalmers. Kbv ami Warner. All of the formations went oft with a snap and ginger and the entire team sot into every play in a way that de lighted the hearts of the entire coaching staff The heavy freshman team, that has proven a iniKhty hard proposition during the rntire season, was utterly unable to stop tlio attacks of the reKulars, while the defense of the latter was imprennable. Moore was moved to the center tonight for the first time this week, and it is now believed that he will pluy In this old posi tion sgalust the Goihers. Atkinson and Rock wood will probably play guard. Soh wlnn and White tackles. Lacklesa and StrefT and Knapp .end. Kent will play quarter, Chalmers and Murphy the two halves and Captain MscGowan ' fullback. The team will atari from here tomorrow morning. The excursion train earning the university band and the Rooters' club leaves tomorrow night. Iowa will send a big delegation to Minneapolis, near'" "0 dized Insurance press, denying my charges, attacking my character, all at the expense of your policy holders and without their approval. You employed James M. Beck, ex-nsslst-ant attorney general of the United States, then and now chief attorney for Henry M. Rogers, the Standard Oil Company, the "System" and the Mutual Life Insurance Company, to ridicule my utterances and asperse my honor In addresses In the cities of Philadelphia and Boston. You employed James H. Eckles, ex-comptroller of the currency of the United States, now president of the Commercial bank and representative of the "System" In the west, to attack my arguments and distort my motives in Chicago. You ordered Vice President Perkins of the New York Life Insurance Company to perform similar service in Philadelphia; and The burden of all these documents, adver tisements and disguised advertisements and addresses was: "I-awson Is an un mitigated liar and scoundrel, whose sole reason for attacking the Insurance otT panics Is that we refused him Insur ance."

Of these four are from Yale, Uuree from widow and the orphan In the stock market, but of manipulating these trust funds for the benefit of your own pockets. Notwithstanding the turpitude al ready exposed to the people, you still im agine you can so conduct yourself as to prevent the Investigators from fastening on you and your associates the more desperate crimes that have been committed In the past the S150.OCO.000 to 1300,000,000 stolen and diverted or used In corruption. But you have mistaken the tempers of your countrymen. I have been authorised In writing by over 16,000 poller holders, car rying over Hfty-foor millions ol In nranre, to art for them, I had Intended to await the finish of tho New York Investigation before proceeding, but as I have had placed In my hands dur ing the past few days evidences of the de termination of yourself and your accom plices and fellow-conspirators to face It out regardless of consequences, and as I be lieve men capable of committing the acts that have been proved during the past few days fully capable of taking the transporta ble part of the billion and a quarter funds to foreign countries, and using them to keep themselves from their Justly deserved punishments, I have decided to act now, Thomas W. l.avraon. Princeton and one. from Harvard. Percy Gilbert is the single representative left for Harvard, and while his work throughout the tournament has' been very consistent hf has a hard, tartt before him to gain a. place in the finals, That Yale 'Is very strong In this year's contest is shown by tho fact that It has four men In, one of whom made the second best score In, the qualifying round today. The hopes of the Princeton men are cen tered In the good all-round work of H. J. Gee, who up to the present has the best record of the week. The feature today was Gee's excellent form in the qualifying round. He turned In a card of 77, which Is only two stroke behind par golf for these links and Just one stroke behind the competitive record of 76 on this course. As there were six men tied with scores of 90 each for the last three positions in the fli-M division, they had to play off the tie, with the result that Malcolm McBurney, T. Brlggs and W. V. Harrison, all of Har vard, were left In for the championship round at match play, the defeated three being F. W, Kcmbie of Harvard, D. H. Bar rows of Princeton and J. W. McCurdy of University of Pennsylvania. IWITH THK BOWLERS. The Storz Blue Ribbons won two games from the Benos last night In one of the best matches plaved this season.

At the beginning of my story, nearly a year and a half ago, I made certain accu sations against the management of the three big life Insurance companies. I knew when I began my story that the big life Insurance companies were In the hands of rrafters and thieves, Just as are the great banks, trust companies, railroad companies and big corporations and trusts. This I know, and In plain language said It. Today the press of the world Is devoting Its space, news and editorial, to a recital of the contemptible and heinous crimes of the New York Life and the Mutual Life Insurance companies not as I relate them, but as their own officers and trustees pub licly confess them. In the July Installment of my story I called upon policyholders to sign a coupon blank Inserted In Everybody's magazine and send same to me that I might speak for them in a plan to further their In terests. In response to my call I have received up to today. October 4, 16.3U7 answers, rep resenting $r,165.916. As soon as I received a number of signa tures sufficiently large to warrant It I quietly began operations. Charles Edward Russell, in his foreword to his eloquent and constructive series on Man's Struggle for Equality, says: "In some way the Americans will find a cure for the evils that now beset and hamper them, as in old days they found a cure for monarchical despotism, and again for African slavery." Lawson is helping. Russell is helping. Everybody's Magazine is helping. Let every man who has pity for the under-dog read what Mr. Russell has to say in his series beginning in Everybody's Magazine for November that he may learn, and think, and, when the time comes, act. for everybody.

"One of the most grievous problems of the day Is the lack of development of our girls, and the public school system Is to blame largely. No one thing contributes so much to race suicide, so much talked of, as our modern school system." In an address Just prior to adjournment of the eleventh annual meeting of 'the Mis souri Valley Homeopathic Medical associa tion at the Paxton hotel Thursday noon Dr. Freeda M. Lankton of Omaha made those remarks. The following were elected officers for the ensuing year: President, Louis P. Kansas City. First vice president, M. D., Omaha. Crutcher, M. D., Martha K. Clark, Second vice president. Dr. Merriain, Lin coln. Secretary-treasurer, 11. R. Miner, M. D., Falls City. The date and place of the next annual meeting are left for the new officers to select. An Invitation was received from Sioux City to hold the next meeting there, but no action was taken.

The remarks of Dr. Freeda Lankton aroused interest. Her remarks bore upon the imperfect development of "our girls." She said in part: "The moat important thing we have to consider In this day is the lack of develop ment In girls, and this lack of develop ment Is largely due to our school system, which so crowds the child that nature Is not able to do its work, the nervlous ex citability of the child and the resultant diversion to the brain of those energies that should go to the physical upbuilding of the child. The consequence that follows Is that from those nervously developed mothers, the child becomes an Invalid from child-birth, and the resulting nervous symptoms prevents nature from doing Its work from the strain. The period of the development of the physical body parti cularly of our girls ,1s from 16 to 18 years. While the. body Is In process of develop ment the brain should be rested. It Is not possible to produce a perfectly developed body and compass an education In the short terlod of twenty years. Hence owing to the strain upon our girls during the years of physical development, we are creating a race of women Incapable of producing normal children and this will surely tell on future generations. Clab Women's Life Benenrlal. "It was said yesterday lr the discussion of club Ufa among women that club life was Interfering with normal ' births. I differ with this proposition completely. Club life gives to women that Intellectual developement that nothing else can give them. It Is a diversion from the excesses brought out by the social strain. The capa bilities of literature and art are thus given a stimulus from club life and without cost from bright minds and pleasing associ ations that contribute to tbe greatest de velopment ot womanhood In this oaatury. The first direct result la the In restlgetlon now belna; held. Thla Investigation has proceeded far enough to put before the public ah solute proof of all the Crimea I linve chnrajed, nnd three to thirty times as many more. It Is now evident to all thati First The policy holders in the great companies have yearly paid Into their com pany scores of millions more than neces sary. Second The policy holders have been robbed of hundreds of millions. Third The vast funds now on hand have been habitually used by the grafters now In control of them In the rankest kind of stock gambling. Fourth These funds have been habitually used to corrupt the ballot box and the law makers of the country. I repeat, absolute proof of all thla has been made public. It should son he evident to nil thati v ' First The funds now on hand are In actual Jeopardy, because they are In the absolute control of unprincipled scoun drels. Second Unless something Is done at once by the policy holders every one of the largest companies may bocome Insolvent that Is, they may not be able to "But if you are to have a future race of strong, symmetrical and capable men and women you must modify your school system. It is , well known that the dull children In our schools up to the age of IS and 14 often develop Into the most bril liant students after that time. Nature has been developing the body during those years or apparent Intellectual dullness. As yet it has been unable to develop the brain. The school work during the early years of the child should be sufficient to give employment to the brain without undue strain. A mother said to me not long ago she had a child , who would graduate at the age of 16. My reply was I was ashamed of It.
