CZ ON TRYING TO REASON WITH A Ohio, re- DEAD MAN. Te Leader, of Cleveland, cently published an article beginning as follows : «Bolton Hall, who di was a man whose ai ment of social conditions Whether the Leader has set the pace for the belated laudation of Bolton Hall, or whether it is following where others lead, we do not know. But we do know the pensive panegyric is slowly pervading the press of the country, and everywhere it is felt that poor Bolton Hall was a good man trying his best to do good things in an evil and unresponsive time. Bolton Hall's latest work, * Three Acres and Liberty,” finished and published a month or more after his death, is mentioned as the proof of the man’s good heart, which went shy of public recognition during his life. JUDGE counts Bolton Hall among his friends, and has not seldom been fa- vored by contributions from his witty pen. Consequently, we have felt a sense of, bereavement in the death of Mr. Hall, and when he called at this office the other day we frankly told him so. We dis- cussed with Mr. Hall the impropriety of staying around and writing for the papers several months ago, life was the better: ete. after he was dead, and he agrees with us| that it is an extremely unconventional, not to say an annoying, thing todo. We hardly know what our duty is in this per- plexity, Plainly stated, Mr. Hall is dead. The Cleveland Leader says so and the press generally echoes the assertion. Against these many voices there is our sole testimony that the author of “ Three Acres and Liberty is alive and calls at this office and even submits pieces to be published in this paper. We know the majority rules, and the majority is against us. Under the circumstances, we ought to stopa dead man from calling at this office and contributing to this paper, and yet we do not want to be unfair to Mr. Hall. I he were just a plain author we think we could manage the business ; but he is also a practicing lawyer and knows all the technical defenses of his anomalous position, He will not yield to sentiment, and we confess our argument is all senti- ment. It is a correct sentiment which demands that the dead shall be dead and stay dead, But Hall insists on his rights, such as they are. We might even over- come his legal defenses, but unfortunately Bolton Hall is also a Single Taxer, and so we realize we are up against it.’ No Single Taxer will ever admit that he is dead. As we write, another argument we A Waik in the Country with a bottle of EVANS’ ALE to round off the jaunt— that’s the “Spring Tonic” you need. had not thought of occurs to us that may persuade Mr. Hall that his position is en- tirely unreasonable. The next time he comes in we will go at him again, and perhaps this tine we may succeed against the man’s obstinate insistence on a posi- tion so wholly untenable. A LETTER FROM A FRIEND. JUDGE takes pleasure in printing the following letter from an old friend, and herewith presents his compliments and best wishes to the writer : Bonners Ferry, Idaho, May 1, 1907. Dear old JuDGE—I have been a great admirer of JUDGE for years, because it has furnished amusement for a little boy who is lonely. I am a little boy seventy- three years of age. I hold to the old story that a man is once a man and twice achild. For most of my life I have been away in the mountains, where JUDGE cannot reach me. But when I return from my trips I sit down and read all the numbers that have accumulated. I do not suppose it will interest you to know that I crossed the plains in ‘59, long be- fore JUDGE was published, and have lived in the heart of these silent mountains ever since, hunting and trapping. From the first time I saw a copy of JUDGE I liked it, and have ever since. I have seen many changes here. Where once there was a forest, now there are fields of and from my cabin window I can lization crowding me out, but I suppose it has to come. My race will soon be run, but as I pass over to that silent country from which no trapper has ever returned I will go with nothing but the best of wishes for JUDGE and its staff. Yours truly, T. H.

FIT THE GROCER, WIFE MADE THE SUGGESTION. A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee, He says, regarding his own experience: | Two years ago I had been drinking cof- fee and must say that 1 was almost wrecked in my nerves. “Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then Thad no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties. “ One day my wife suggested that inas- much as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in it, and sug- gested that we try it. I took home a package and she prepared it according to directions, .The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disap- peared and to-day I am all right. I would advise everyone affected in any way with nervousness or stomach trou- bles, to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee.” There's a Reason.” Read * The Road to Wellville,” in pack- ages.

Dryden has returned to Newark fully re- covered from the illness which prompted him to withdraw from the senatorial con- test, and has actively resumed business relations. When asked for an expression of opinion as to the effect of radical insur- ance legislation enacted by the different States during the past few months, Sena- tor Dryden said: “ There has been much new legislation |” upon the subject of life-insurance and many important measures have been passed, while many others are still pend- ing. While it is too early to forecast the future effect of the new laws, The Pru- dential may be relied upon to meet the situation in a spirit of the utmost fairness. Not only has the Company always done what it was legally required to do, but it has gone far beyond the mere letter of the law and in the most liberal spirit has extended to the policyholders the privi- leges and advantages of one concession after another. In other words, the Com- pany has always tried to do more than the law required, and it may be relied upon to continue sotodo. In its final analysis statute requirements at the best are a declaration of a broad and general prin- ciple of administration, and in the execu- tion of details a successful company must necessarily be governed by a higher law than a statute—a moral obligation which calls for the most liberal treatment of the insured, compatible with safety. “In pursuance of this policy it has been my pleasure to sign an order, in conformity with a resolution passed’ by the Board of Directors of The Prudential Insurance Company, granting concessions this year to Industrial policyholders in The Prudential who have attained the age of 75 years which will result in re- lieving holders of a great many thousands of policies from the payment of any fur- ther premiums, costing the Company over $750,000, and a continuance of this policy during the next ten years, it is estimated, over three and one-quarter millions of dollars, These concessions, I understand, will affect proportionately more policies than a similar change in any other Indus- insurance company.
