LIFE INSURANCE.
The Views of Another Business Man on the
Subject

"And what do you think of life insur-
ance ~ inquired a HERALD reporter, on
Monday, of Mr.. Heber J. Grant, president
of the big fire and life agency of H ].
Grant & Co.
What do think of life insurance. Why
| do you ask 2" was the double barreled re-
ply of the gentleman.
The reporter, of course, had in mind tie
interviews on lie insurance in THE Sun
DAY HERALD and so explaining, desired
Mr.. Graut's opinion, the gentleman named
being among the most prominent of those
engaged in the insurance business, and also
having recently organized life company
the Home = with 100000 capital. Mr..
Grant said he had read the article, and was
pleased with it, because it showed that SO
many of our bright business men are not
only believers in life insurance, but they
practice what they preach, as witness the
( long list of names of men who carry
insurance. ''You will readily understand
from this continued Mr. Grant THAT l
am believer in and advocate of life insur-
ance. If hadn't been, certainly would
not have taken the trouble to form com
pany when we could have had the local
agency of almost any of the large associa-
tons we might have named"
| After further talk on the subject in
which Mr.. Grant said that one of his chief
| reasons for believing in and advocating life
insurance was because insurance was an
investment Tor the future which a man
would make in no other way as he would
pay his premiums when he would not other
wise permanently invest the money, but
would take greater risk with the prospect
of making more, and thus lose all He said
life insurance is conducted ON well-under-
stood business principles, the basis being
az correct as that of banking, of fire insur-
ance, OF merchandising, or anything
else. 1t is in no sense speculative, so long
as 1t is managed properly on the we'll
known principles upon which all tirst-class
companies are founded.
did you expect to successfully compete
with the big associations" asked the re-
porter, ''when you formed the Home?"
1T was not said Mr.. Grant, 'aquestion
of ability to- compete. With my business
associates and me, the proposition was sim
ply one of business. We knew that from
two hundred thousand to two hundred and
fifty Thousand dollars a year was paid by
our citizens as premiums on life insurance
We knew also, that the interest rates in the
east were very low, while here they were
what might be called very high, the security
being as good in Salt Lake as in New York
Money invested here will produce Just
about double what it will in an eastern
city, and the risks no greater. This being
true we thought that by charg-
ing the same rates for life insur-
a1ce, using the same expectancy tables
as the safest and best companies, and in
vestlng our money here at the higher rates
of interest, being careful as to securities,
we certainly must succeed. Again, there
was a patriotic motive actuating us, and
that motive can be best expressed by ask
ing, why money should be taken out of the
country TO pay for that which can be pur.

Eleventh Ward,

Willard Done was elected chairman
Henry a. Tuckett secretary. and Alex
McRae chaplain.
E. G. Woolley and Alonzo Young were
the first to address the meeting. The
former gave a minute explanation of the
platform of principles adopted by the
party. AS the Importance of these organi-
cations was very vital it would be well for
the People to choose the best representa-
tive men to fill the several offices in the
permanent organization of this ward club,
those who will be alive and valiant in the
cause of liberty for the Peoples party. He
urged the people to stand by that which
would give them liberty and equal rights in
the political affairs Of the country.
Mr.. Young followed briefly, when the
constitution and by laws were accepted,
and the following permanent organization
perfected: President, Willard Done; vice
president, H. a. Tuckett; secretary, John

organize two political clubs, No. and No.
2, in this district Heretofore politics has
been looked after by a committee of three,
and later by six, but we have met tonight
to enlarge this committee to all the work
er3 in the district. We do not intend to have
strangers come here to govern us. We
can govern ourselves. TCheers. We not only
want all the older men but the young men
and boys to unite in the organization I
have heard it said that the Liberals will
carry the next election but if we rally all
over the city as we rally here tonight they
will be q disappointed crowd. fCheers
To enthuse US still more the Sixth ward
band will play ''Rally Round the Flag"
Hon. j. T. Game delivered one of his
characteristic speeches, made complete
resume Of the principles of the Peoples
party and the objects for the organization
of clubs in each ward. He closed by say
ing that the objects set forth We're worthy
of any one-the Peoples man. Liberal,
Democrat or Republican. and he hoped
that all in the house would enroll them
selves.
Frank H. Hyde said: 1T gives me
pleasure TO meet so enthusiastic an audi
ence, but some of this enthusiasm should
be communicated to those who are not here
have we not been well governed We
hear some say we want change,
shall we look. to another party for it!
Other large cities are governed by the
slums and politics is manipulated in the
saloons and dives, shall it be so with US
After some other remarks pertinent to the
occasion, the organization of the club was
proceeded with. On motion, a committee
of nine as follows was elected from each
ward as nominating committee to select

w. Ashton secretary, J. f. Howells ser
geant-at arms, and Nv. L. Binder chaplain.
The object of the meeting was stated, and
j. H. Moyle made the opening address.
He thought such organizations as were
now being made very important for the
success of the party and the defeat of an
INSCRIPTIONS enemy, and it was the desire
to enroll every man who wanted good gov
eminent The Fifteenth ward, he said,
was the first to organize in political way,
and this had been done many years ago. 1t
was really the bann er ward of the Peoples
party, and should have been the first to
have been honored by the orgapization,o
the political clubs.
The constitution and bylaws as adopted
by other wards were read and accepted,
and while the paper was being signed
speeches were made by ". c. Burton and
Thomas Hull

1t was suggested that the money sent
out, with the exception of the Companies
expenses, eventually returned in the form
of death payments or matured policies.
Yes" said Mr.. Grant, that is true
enough; but why shouldn't Utah have the
benefits accruing from the use of this
money during the ten or twenty years
which it is in possession of the compa
nies2''
Well" said the reporter, this is deli
cate question, but l an going to ask it:
Will people insure in the Home, with its
hundred thousand dollars capital, when
they can take out policies at the same cost
and on exactly the same terms in the big
hundred million asseciations2"
Mr.. Grant smiled, and said that there
was an answer to this in the policies which
his company is writing. ''You must re-
member, young man," he continued, THAT
the hundred million dollar concerns were
once hundred thousand dollar companies.
Also bear in mind that the fabulous
assets belong to the policy holders, and not
to the companies; and we claim, and it is a
fact, that a policy in our company repre-
sents as great actual value in dollars and
cents as one in any of the big associations

Australian Bushrangers.

The busltrangers of Australia are now
extinct. They were highwaymen whom
the love of adventure, quite as much as
the desire for gold, allured to the life
of outlaws. A writer in the Fortnightly
Reuieao describes some of them as gifted
with courage and invention worthy of q
better calling.
A small band of Bushrangers in Vic
toria manufactured for themselves out
of scythes and ploughs and old iron
complete suits OF armor. Each suit was
SO heavy that Goliath himself might
have tainted under its weight, but on
the Herculean frame Aof the bushranger
it seemed light, and it served its pur-
pose. Several of these suits are in ex-
istence, bearing marks of Intellectual
pistol shots.
Two bushrangers once laid whole
town under contribution. They forced
shops and banks to pay literally for the
privilege of resuming business. Some
| of them were as superstitious as Italian
brigauds, who kneel beside waysi0s
cross. and ask for much booty and little
| trouble.
Once bushranger gave his victim
the usual alternative of his money or his
life. When the victim declined to 'shand
over" the robber knelt down and prayed
that it might be put into the travellers
heart to give up all that he had, and sc
save the bushranger the necessity o.
shooting him.

Monkey Discipline.

Few persons ever have chance to
watch the actions of monkeys in wild
state, and tame ones mimic the life
going on about them to such a degree
that we can never feel sure their actions
are not q reflection OF our own. Mr..
Gordon writes of them in India:
"They are really very like human
beings. was one day Watching an old
female who had young one by her side
to whom she was giving small bits of
bread which she had evidently just re-
ceived from my cook-room, and with
which she was RECALLING herself at the
same time. Occasionally the little mon
key would endeavor to snatch bit Of
tho bread before the mother was ready
to give it him, when she would admins

box on the ear. She was in the act Of
doing this when one of my servants

pearance Of maternal solicitude, andt did
not put him down again until th6 man

"We learn by advices from Samoa
says the New York telegram, that Ma
taafa sent a number of mon, who rem
dered splendid aid in trying to float the
Olga. The Olga belonged to fleet
which Bismarck had sent to the island to
rob Mataafa of his throne and place
Tamasese in power. That throne may
not have represented much prestige, or
glittering armies, or Respondent ex-
chequers, but it was all that Mataafa
had-his cherished eve lamb-and
served his purpose as well as the diadem
of King William of Germany. But the
Lord of Battles sent his hurricanes
and waves, and came to Mataafa's res
cue, and the poor savage, acting on his
own golden rule, dashed to save the
lives of his would-be destroyers. And
he seems to have furnished the needed
succor, for the Olga was spared by the
skilled aid of Mataafa's men. We don't
suppose Bismarck cares a fig for the
golden rule in diplomacy, but the rest
OF the world will think that this poor
savage king is much better fitted for
real Christian society than the powerful
prince who tried to destroy him."

The representatives of Corca in this
country arc impressed with the idea
that whatever tho Americans do is all
right. Since they have seen several
funeral services, they have manifested a
great deal of concern about what should
be done in case Of the death OF the
Queen-dowager, who is eighty years Of
age and likely to die soon. They think
that her death should be followed by ap-
propriate services, and they have ,ex-l
pressed regret that there is no church in
which something like the American fu-
neral services can be held.
