fairly well understood, whether it
cares to be or not Aad som definite
notions of it existed) even before the
witty ilr. Carnegie went through hi
little comedy for th delectation of

Th Pimit Kick Back. ,
Th piraaites, which Mr. Carnegie
aid. infested Wall street and
created nothing, bnt fattened ea
vain,' are beginning t kick back.
Th Financial World, oa fairly good
term with Bern ef these "parasite,"
opines that if "Carnegie's damnation
of Wall street did aot com from
malic. It cam from Ignorance of the
tru fraction f th market, ' In
Umatlng also that through his almpl
Ignorance Mr. Caraegi may- have
been alpped In Wall street and there
for belong to "tbo Individuate
who bar tackled It and met with
losses are apt to look upon Wall
street as a brace game."
New, Juat because Mr. Carnegie
knew nothing of th natur it not of
th nisteno of the Sherman law, t
no reaaoB for presuming too far upon
hla ignorance. Mow was it that he
trimmed his friend. Rockefeller,

tle Laird of Skib kens. And on
the surface, of thing, it la a little
dlftkult to see Just why he should
bear it any malic for anything tt
has "do" t him. He, It appears,
ha beea la ea th big doings when
ever bis fortunes were Involved.
It is undoubtedly true, as th
financial World say that maay a
maa' antipathy for Wall atraet dates
back to being bumped by th maa
wheen h went to banco. But all
th Borons agaJnat what 1 popu
larly eoaeeiTed or miscoaceJred.

Fraternal Inrarsace late. -The
Modern Wood meet of America
la only one of twenty-two fraternal
insurance orders with convention
ecfrfdu'erf (or action upon the mat
ter of increased rates as outlined in
a plaa formulated aad recommended
by th stat Insurance commissioners
a year ago at Mobile, Ala. Sixteen
fraternal bav adopted th plan.
Strong opposition arise in th ranks
of th Modern Woodmen and, no
doubt, will arts la other orders.
Th feeling strongly obtaias that it
Is wrong In principle to raise rate to
increase the burden of Insurance
with age. hut more Insistent demands
urge that it Is better to lnerjas that
burden than jeopardize the Insur
ance. The remarkable showing was made
at the Modern, Woodmen convention
In Chicago that by January 1, 1(14,
th order would have attainable as
sets of $300,000,000, less than
enough to meet th face value of Its
policies. From experience, th ex
perts ar convinced that a higher
level of fraternal Insurant ratea
must be created if fraternal Insur
ance is to continue. This proposed
action is not th result ef any abrupt
or sudden discovery. Wis head
have beea shaking at som of the
low ratea tor many years and pre
dicting Just what la bow taking place.
Th Workmen and other order long
ago found It ec canary te rais their
schedule. ' They sustained some
temporary losses, but gained in the
end.
Fraternal life Insurant has been
a boon t many thousands and should
h kept up. AsJd from th financial
relief it afford in crisis, it till a
distinct aad targe soclsl sphere
through Its lodge meetings and af
filiation. In som communities
thee ar th Tory center and core at
th best social life. Many men,
womea and children find la them
their chief diversion. Th Institution
ha msd its wa plae In th social
and economic life and should not ba
aacrlflced, but to perpetoste and In
crease Us effectiveness, It must be
pat en a stable basis. j
Democrat After the Appropriation.
Th democrat seem to bav agreed
that their anxiety for economy In
appropriation shall not ' Infringe
upon Jh pork barrel, otherwise
known aa th publto buildings bill,
and the river and harbors bill.
Leader Underwood baa don a fin
Job thus far steering th pruning
books around these measures. It
takes Urn, f course, tor two rea
sons, chiefly; first, som ef th
newer or less skillful patriots bar to
b tutored la th whya and where
fore of preserving thee perquisites
Intact, and, second, It would not do to
act hastily for fesr f arousing public
attention.
Th potency of a pork barrel bill
oa th v of a national eampalga Is
thoroughly appreciated by every
astut politician and Chairman Un
derwood would be a stupid leader of
a militant democracy If be misguided
It at this crucial point A good msny
communities ar involved la a public
building measure carrying approxi
mately $10,000,000, and possibly a
good many vote. Let th heua
orator contlnn to prat about econ
omy, but let them curb their seal at
th proper plae.
Already th democrats have mani
fested th Intention of conducting
their 1111 eampalga ea th floor of
ongrss. Look to asm oa beside
th cunning Oscar Underwood, there
fare, to- make the e (regions blunder
of kicking ever - th appraptlaUoa
bucket or even knocking oft a hoop
at thl early stag of th gam.

BRADSHAW. Neli, I Jan. -Ta the
Editor of Th Bee: permit me to en
cumber, slightly, ytpuf! ; valuable Letter
Box with a few thi lurhi warding- th
present poliUral alt latlen. Having just
read P. A. Barrow's fcomenuntcatloa under
tbe above caption, vi bav thought how
easy It is for personfc traveling, or ether
wise, to find political MtuaUona about to
their own liking. WVe have done no ex
tenstv traveling, butt are have come in
contact with many hf those who have.
It U surprising toVhear men ted how
tbey find the situslloh and how positive
they are that they harte the correct con
dltions figured down.!1
Our Information Is
from commercial m
mostly the hotel loft si ea, and as such
oaght to be able, it any class of men
are able, to give sei
status of th real altliatloa. bat ee they
do so, or do tbev-t do so? Net by any
means a we set IC The La Follett re
publican when aiKed hew he finds the
political aiiuatlon bjtcrne red In the face
and with a vole fun of gusto win say.
Everything for la Follette, you bet.
Why, aire, I find hundreds of republicans
who positively declare they will vote for
a democrat beforel tbey will vote tor
Taft" Tbe next man we have an epor
tuntty to question la,' Taft or admlntetra
tlea republican, wfto answer us In s
cami, dignified manner and assurance
that he Ie correct. J "Tt'elL .aire, I really
find tbe Taft sentiment much stronger
than I bad expectedl There Is not a doubt
la my mind la regard te his getting the
repoMicaa delegatlan from Newraetra.
Now upon what are w to fix tba baste of
ur ooadusion? We will tell you. Severn
oat of every ten wheen wa find talkinc
most toodiy for I Follette, by a little
questioning, we find belong to the eld
free silver taction of the republican party,
and are of that radical eleaient ef man
kind that would rather tear things up
than mend them. There la no question
In oar mind recardms the situation, la Ne
braska, aad that tbe La Follette boom
Is less powerful today than tt waa a
month ago. while the Taft sentiment la
proportionately stronger sad that tt will
continue to grow every day.

And old one too

With Santy Claue
And sure won
Heaps of applause:
When you spread snow
And Ice galore
On vale and hill
And thea aoasa mora.
There are broken bone
And bumpe I guess!
And frosted ear
And noaee Teal

And burned out graiee.
