BENEFIT (?) INSURANCE.
Vermont Well SuDpIied.


The Order of Unity failed to organ
ize Il lodge in St. Johnsbury after all.
A representative of the order tells a
Caledonian reporter that IF this
state does not want these societies
we shall not stay here. There are
plenty of other states that do want
us" If this is so the best thing the
Order of Unity can do is to HE away
to the plenty of other states that
want this class of benefit" orders.
Vermont is well supplied Burling-
ton Free Press.
How 1t Works in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire seems to have dis
tanced Vermont in the matter of
benefit" organizations. The Man
chester Union says: The latest addi-
ton to the get-rich-in-a-minut fly
by-night insurance, or So-called
benefit orders has no rival, SO far as
we know. One hundred and fifty
agents are announced as starting out
to fish for suckers last week. The
first one to bite is to get his $1,000
just as soon as there is money
enough paid in by the others, and
then number two will take the next
thousand, and so on until the crop
of suckers is exhausted" The Union
may exaggerate the case a trifie, but
it gives capital picture of the aver
age humbug benefit" order Bur-
lingtOn Free Press.
A Fine Law Point Involved.
The Caledonia county states at
torney has made good move in ar
resting the organizer of one of the
Massachusetts, ''beneht" orders that
advertise to pay $1,000 in seven
years and sick benefits of $40 a week
on assessments that shall aggregate
only about $500. There is no reas-
enable question of course about the
character of such schemes, but very
close law point is raised under the
prosecution. The defense is that the
order is not an insurance company
but simply a fraternal society like
the Knights of Pythias and similar
organizations. Just where the line
shall be drawn is hard to determine
Men have right, with which gov
eminent cannot interfere, to assO-
cIate for mutual protection and bene-
fit, but they cannot assume a corpo-
rate existence, which comes only
from the state, without coming un-
der reciprocal obligations to the
state, and primary among these is
the right of the state to see that the
artificial personality with which it
clothes them is not used for swind-
ling purposes. The same right of
course extends to the corporate crea-
lures of other states that come here
to do business. These benefit orders
pretend to insure against sickness
and to make returns analogous to
those of endowment policies in regu-
lar companies, and this ought to
bring them within the reach of the
law guarding insurance. Brattle

The Waterman suggests that
Montpelier settle the sewer question
by the adoption of the sewage farm
system This consists of a series of
watts into which the sewage is run.
Sand in the bottom checks the solid
matter while the water filters
through and enters the river compar-
atively pure. The sand is shoveled
out in due time and makes an ex-
cellent manure. This system is now
in operation in two cities in this
country and is being adopted by a
third. If Montpelier takes this
method of disposing of its sewage, it
will not only be the first town in
Vermont to adopt it, but it will be
made more healthfu1 by so doing
