SALEM, Or., June 25. In his an
naul report, which will soon be off the
press, State Insurance Commissioner
J. W. Ferguson calls attention to the
extent the people of Oregon are be
ing induced to invest in questionable
schemes of promoting local insur
ance companies. His report says:
"The constant stream of inquiries
reaching the department relative to
new insurance companies being pro
moted, and the financial resposibilty
of others recently organized, would
indicate the importance of supervk
sion of such promotion schemes by
some competent official with author
ity to regulate their methods and ex
penses. The same reasons which led
the state to examine and determine
the reliability of the companies furn
ishing insurance to its people would
apply with even greater force to such
promotions.
"Our people are being induced to
invest their money in the stock of
proposed insurance companies under
the guise of promoting home institu
tions. The methods of the stock
salesman are not above criticism, and
the citizen without any means of in
forming himself as to the reliability
of the promoters or the concern they
are promoting falls to the allurements
of the fabulous dividends the new
company is to pay.
"It is perhaps useless to say the
'promoters' have the only 'sure thing'
and draw their dividends while the
stockholder is putting up the funds
for the new company which promises
to revolutionize the business. The
people of this and other states have,
in recent years, lost more money
through purchase of stock in these in
surance 'gold mines' than through
buying policies in unreliable insur
ance companies. One such proposed
company of this state has been three
years in process of incubation. When
this concern was examined by a rep
resentative of this department a year
ago, about 37 -per cent of the money
collected from sale of its stock bad
been expended in promotion expenses.
"Should this campaign of promo
tion schemers be permitted to con
tinue in this state? The superintend
ent of insurance of the State of New
York suggests that 'evil or extrava
gant insurance plans are caught best
when caught young.' " -

WHERE HOGS HELP HARVEST
The shrewd farmer is finding more
than one way in which to meet the
crying need for more help. One of
the most profitable methods is to grow
cowpeas and let the hogs do their own
waiting on table.
Cowpeas may be seeded in the corn
.at the last cultivation or the may be
put in the row when the corn is plant
ed. In the first case, they are best
drilled in with a one-horse drill at the
rate of two or three pecks per acre
when the corn is laid by.
To be sure of a stand it is best to
lay by the corn a few days earlier
than usual. They may be -broadcasted
and plowed in, but this method is not
so sure of securing a stand as is the
method of drilling, them.
Where planted in the row the best
plan is to use a special cowpea plant
ing attachment on the corn planter.
These attachments are now on the
market. In this case six quarts of peas
should be used. N
The difficulty in putting peas in' the
row, writes an expert in Farm and
Home, is that corn is usually planted
about two weeks before it is entirely
safe to sow peas. This plan is very
commonly practiced however. Peas
planted in this way will make more
seed than where they are eown at the
last cultivation and are especially val
uable for hog pasture.
Many men find it very profitable
to hog down both corn and peas,. The
New Era or Whippoorwill varieties
may be used where" they are to he
hogged down, or a vinig variety
which will twine about the stalks may
be used and both and peas cut with a
.corn binder.
joicing with his party. He said he
had been more anxious for harmony
than for the opportunity to address
the convention.
"In the discussion before the sub
committee the friends of Mr. Clark
and Mr. Wilson were unable to agree
on a candidate," he went on.
But, said Bryan, the two factions
later agreed to support James. This,
he said, was his plan to have the two
Presidential candidates, controlling
nearly two-thirds of the delegates
agree on a man for temporary chair
man.
"But this the National committee re
fused to do," he shouted, and he was
given a cheer.
'I submit to you that the plan that
I presented and favored was a plan
for securing harmony; the plan the
committee favored was not designed
to secure harmony.
'This is no ordinary occasion; this
is an epoch-making convention. It
has been a long fight requiring cour
age and sacrifice. I know men in
humble walks of life risking their po
sition with big railroad corporations
to assist us in the fight for progres
sive principles. I have known men
engaged in business and carrying
loans at banks who have been threat
ened with bankruptcy ; yet they have
defied the bosses and walked up be
side the masses to oppose the forces
of predatory wealth.
"I have seen lawyers take their fu
ture in their hands to oppose the evii
influence of the time. Now the song
of victory should be sung by one who
has borne the burden of the fight."
Another cheer interrupted.
"John W. Kern has been faithful
every day of that 16 years. Four
years ago it was John W. Kern who
stood by me. He helped me uphold
the policy of publicity of campaign
contributions,, which now has swept
the country.
"It was John W. Kern, who stood
with me on that Denver platform
which demanded the election of Sen
ators by direct vote of the people.
He helped me in the fight for that
amendment authorizing an income tax
and he has lived to see the President
Who was opposed to it, take that
plank out of our platform and make
two Houses of Congress and 34 states
pass it.
"And now he is leading a fight in
the United States Senate to purge
that body of Lorimer. What better
man could we have to open a conven
tion?"
"Parker, Parker," interrupted a num
ber of delegates and the calls swept
the armory..
Bryan stopped for a moment,
"What better man could we find to
represent the" militant spirit of Demo
cracy?" Chairman Mack pounded loudly for
order and got it.
"When I now contrast," continued
Bryan when quiet was secured, "the
candidate presented by the committee
I can do it without impeaching his
character or his good intent. But not
every man of good character and good
intent is worthy to sound the keynote
of a progressive convention."
Cries of "Oh!" rang through the
hall.
"We have a great many Democrats
who vote the tickets but are not in
sympathy with the' purposes of the
party."
Bryan said he spoke for Parker in
1904 but was not in sympathy with the
candidate or the men who stood be
hind his nomination. -
Again there came an interruption
and cries of "Parker!"
"And I assume that no friend of
Judge Parker will contend that 'he was
! satisfied in 1908 with all the candi
dates or all the plans and purposes of
our platform. This is no time for a
campaign of pleasant words and
sweet phrases.
"We are writing history today,'"
continued Bryan, "and this "convention
is to announce to the country wheth
er it is to take up the challenge
thrown down at Chicago by a conven
tion controlled by predatory wealth
or answer it by ourselves submitting
! to predatory wealth and give the coun
try no party."
Applause again interrupted him.

him, trembling, and miracle of mir
acles The wolf is wagging his tail!
Which means that White Fang is
conquered, civilized, saved. Redeemed
by the power of kindness, the tail
wagging signifies eternal friendship
and devotion on the part of the dog
Parents
If a wolf dog, hardened by mis
treatment, can lie converted by per
sistent kindness, how much easier it
may be to change a rebellious child
and melt and transform it by gentle
ness. Cannot you be as patient toward
your child as was Weeden Scott to a
hybrid beast? Is not your child worth
more than a wolf dog?
And teacher
There is in you the divine power to
mold and fashion with tenderness the
lives of children, some of whom come
to you from wolfish haunts and homes.
Use that power.
And everybody
Our blundering day talks of tariffs
and finance and conservation as if they
were the great problems of govern
ment. No!
The problem of government, its real
duty, is to lift up the lives of the poor,
the wolfishly reared and the neglected.
When this world of ours shall have
been made as good a place in which to
live, for all men. women and chil
dren, as for some unfortunate dogs
why, then, and not until then, shall
we make boast of ovr civilization.

Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, who
helped to finance the Roosevelt cam
paign for the Republican nomination,
were in consultation for three-quarters
of an hour tonight with William
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska.
Heney and Crane reached Mr. Bry
an's apartments by a private elevator
and were gone again before their visit
became generally known.
No one could be found tonight who
would discuss the incident.
In connection with the Heney-Crane
visit tonight it was learned that two
representatives of the Outlook, one of
them Carl Howland, who has - been
close to Colonel Roosevelt since his
return from Africa two years ago,
were in town. Both put up at one of
the headquarters hotels. They were
anxious regarding the possibility of a

escaped to the wolves and became as
savage as they. White Fang shows
the opposite the force of kindness
and good surroundings.
Briefly, this is the tale:
White, Fans is part wolf. He fights
from mere inherent love of fighting
and is savagely cruel. He falls Into
the hands of Weeden Scott, a master
whose kindness to the" vicious brute
seems thrown away Scott persists in
his steady gentleness and finally finds
the one soft spot under the hide of
the little beast
The discovery is made thus:
The master leaves the wolf dog for
a few days. Although hitherto White
Fang never has responded to Scott's
kindness, when the latter leaves the
dog pines and refuses to eat What is
