REPORT that the Prince of Wales is
liable to fall = victim to cancerous
throat is likely to find quiet cred
'ence throughout Europe. The hered-
itary faint that has sent 50 many Of
his stock TO the grave has assumed
various forms in the family. In some
it has affected the brain, terminal
ing In insanity, the present emperor
promising to add another to that
group. In others it has been scrofu-
lous; in others epilepsy. The duke
of Clarence and Avondale was one of
the victims to its malignant fertility.
The duke of Albany was another. The
stock from which the intermarried
reigning houses, have drawn so much
bad and some good blood is not des-
tined to rule indefinitely. Baby Fife
may yet have chance in the British
islands. Revolution is more likely
to end the dynasty in Germany.

her matches could reach deck, went
down with 1913 prisoners of death.
Designed like her twin, the Javari,
for harbor and river duty, 1t had not
been deemed necessary to build her

THAT the most ingenious nachin-
cry will not act effectually without
guidance by honest and intelligent
human service was demonstrated at a
suburb of Cincinnati, where six lives
were sacrificed because a man forgot
to adjust the block signals according
to his orders. The block signal sys-
tenn promises more than any other de-
vice yet constructed for the saving Of
life on railways. Its performances
are dependent on the skill and fidel-
ity of those to whom its operation is
intrusted. The employe of the Big
Four that expected the machinery to
work without direction should not be
permitted to leave, by escape from
due punishment, an erroneous i'm.
preston to that effect on other signal
station officials.

THERE will be alb undant sympathy
expressed for Mr.. McAllister, the
chief cook of New YOrk's flour hun
dred," because of his misfortune in
having son who dared to get married
without consulting with SO eminent
an authority upon social matters.
The father wanted his son to defer
marriage until he should have estab-
lished himself in position to support
a wife. But the son remembered the
paternal saying that at least $50, 900
year vas required for respectable
living in New York. and preferred to
follow his own inclipations. He may
be kept out of his fathers set, but in
time he will become reoonciled to
that.

DESPITE the generally peaceful
conditions that prevail among the
great nations at present, rapid prog
ress is being made in the art Of
wholesale killing. The next great
war will possess many novel features
and will probably be fatal to an un-
precedented extent. SmOkeleSs pow
der has been successfully experiment
ted with in Europe. In the late civil
conflict with Chile rifles of great car
rying power and of deadly effect
gained the victory for one party. In
one instance, at least, the torpedo
has proved an instrument of fearfully
destructive powers in naval battle.
The balloon is also being successfully
experimental with and will probably
soon become an important factor in
the art of warfare. But perhaps the
most interesting and suggestive in
vention in this line is that of the sub
marine cruiser. The possibilities
suggested by such an invention are
almost beyond belief. Perhaps the
naval battle of the future will take
place entirely under water. That
spiteful little war ships will soon be
constructed capable of coming up un-
der the numbering old hulks on the
surface. and of inflicting deadly
wounds from below, seems already az
assured fact.

Topeka last week. They changed the
name from the Kansas Sheriffs' COOP

each for the capture and conviction Of
horse thieves, was adopted.
Another resolution, declaring that it
was the first duty of an officer, when
notified that criminal was coming that
way, with the request that he assist in
his capture, to at once render all the as
sistance in his power, was discussed aud
adopted.
The association adjourned until the

eight sheriffs we're present. I. c. o.

and J. NJ. Wlkerson, of Shawnee, is

The insurance press has been CRITICS.
ing quite freely Superintendent Nc
Brides recommendation relating to the
appeal of unsatisfactory rates to the su-
penntendent.
Superintendent Mcbride says on this
subject:
"'Yes, the insurance journals have
pretty generally condemned that portion
of my report relating to supervision OF
insurance rates, but as yet only one
journal, The Coast Review, has at
tempted to give any valid reason why
my recommendation is impracticable.
81 recommended that the companies
be compelled to establish rates of pre-
MUM, not the superintendent, and only
in cases on appeal is the superintendent
to have jurisdiction.
"Rates are not based on the Gre loss
of single community, but the fire loss
of the whole country; the expense &C
count and dividends to stockholders
must all be taken into account.
There must be basis to start from.
When I commenced the insurance bust
ness twenty-four years ago the company
sent me book of instructions, and /
made my own rates subject to approval
by the company, and I never had but
two policies Cancelled on account of in
adequate rates. Sixty cents was the
basis then, and we added a per cent as
the hazard was increased.
1.-THE rates are made in about this
manner now. The gentleman who rates
the cities and towns of Kansas for near
~ all the fire companies authorized to
transact business in this state was once
superintendent of this department and
really cannot see why he conld not
have made as equitable rates when su-
perintendent ar he does now.
I'm the twenty-five years this depart
ment has been in existence seven super
intendents have been appointed and
there never has been any complaint of
unfairness to insurance companies unless
in the case of my immediate predecessor.
The trouble complained of is that some
communities are charged higher rates
than others on the same class of build
ings and under the same conditions.
This is all that I recommend should be
referred to this department, and I still
think it is right and believe sooner or
later it will be the law.
81 know of several companies doing
q large business in Kansas who employ
special agents from their local agents in
the small country towns. Why should
they know more about the rates than
the supervising officers of insurance de-
partments of the several states? There
is no conflict between we'll managed in
surance companies and state supervis-
ors. The companies, I believe desire to
do what is fair and the supervising Off
GERS have no interest to do the compa-
MES an injustice. Inequalities in rates
will occur and some way should be
found to remedy the matter. My way
may not be the best but the insurance
journals evidently know of no better
plan.''
