MORI FRENZIED FINANCE
Collier's Weekly has an article in the
current issue exposing the high charges
and wasteful management of industrial
insurance. The facts about the Pruden
tial and the Metropolitan insurance com
panies show that they are no less rotten
than the Equitable Society, New York
Life and Mutual. United States Senator
Dryden draw $95,000 a year salary as
president of the Prudential, and also gets
220 per cent dividends on the amount of
money he has actually invested in the
company. The Prudential would have to
have "The strength nf Gibraltar" to stand
such a drain. The other companies are
in the same boat.
Judging from the many and various
nevspaper and magazine photographs of
William Jennings Bryrn made since his
return abroad, he is wearing perpetually !
"The smile that won't come off." The
Republican National Committee is con
fident, however, that it will be ablet to
change his expression two years hence.

dred who have, and do, and always will, because they want the best and
appreciate a fine article. We have some new flavors this year which r

The sentiment toward socialism is cer
tainly growing. The Appeal to Reason,
of Girard Kansas now has a circulation
of nearly a quarter of a million. It is
socialism personified from first column to
last. Without the assistance of a period
of national hard times, however, there is
little chance of the socialist party ac
quiring effective strength, and hard
times are a long way off.
The crowd to meet banker Stensland
