KEEN observers of all ages have
noted how extraordinarily eager the
great majority of people are to accomp-
lish some great reform, particularly
when they think they will not be per-
mitted to do so. The attitude of the
Democratic party before election is a
case in point. Its attitude since cleo
tion has been so uncertain that com
parisons are difficult to make, unless it
could be compared to itself.

THE declaration Of the Democratic
platform that protective tariff is un-
constitutional would probably cause the
Democratic party to hasten in the re-.
inoval of all such unconstitutional stat
utes from our laws if the record of the
party about thirty years ago had not
already made it plain that unconstitu-
tionality is not necessarily an obstacle
to any plan which the party may have
in view.

Very few reforms suggested in bust
ness circles have apparently so much
reason for their advocacy as the ever
growing demand for the extension of
life insurance to women. The objections
with which any proposition looking 10
this end are met are numerous and of
long standing but it can at least be
said of them at the outset that they are
the objections of theory rather than ex-
perience.
The three most common objections are
or rather have been, that women do not
need Insurance.; that in the case of
the married woman the chances against
the mother are extra hazardous; and
that in general, modes of fashion tend
to deiormity and make her life one of
far too great uncertainty. The first of
these objections should need scarcely
any refutation in this age of enlighten.
ment. The revolution which has taken
place in the social status Of womankind
during the past half century has proved
conclusively that in most lines of
work save that of purely manual
labor woman is but little if at all infe-
rior to man, either mentally, morally or
physically.
1t is of course impossible to accurately
determine the exact proportion of work
ing women to working men, but even
the casual observer who watches the |
throngs OF people at 9 o'clock in the |
evening is aware that the number of
women who work for their living presses
closely upon the number Of men.
To the dangers of womannood and
the deformities due to exacting fashion
a single reply can be made. Insurance
of all kinds in its ultimate analysis be-
comes simple calculation Of chances.
Tables of mortality and estimates of the
probable length of mans life have been
developed to the minutest detail and
the accuracy in the basic principle upon
life insurance can be successfully issued.
Given the age of man and we can
calculate exactly how much longer he
may be expected to live and how much
ne should equitably pay company for
an indemnity to his heirs.
should he not conform to the average of
chance and die before the given time.
We have learned by experience the law
If chance governing fires in dwellings
md factories. Companies have been
ormed and are doing remunerative
business in insuring various kinds of
nimals. And lastly, companies are
ow insuring men known to be
diseased and men beyond the usu-
lily established limits of age. OF
curse the chances against the COM
anies are far greater and the
remiums are large in proportion but
alculation of chances enables this kind
( business to be done. Could not ex- {
erience and calculation of chances be s.

The End of the Garfield Track War Has
Not Yet Been Reached.
CHICAGO, Sept 19.-[SpeciaL lit was
strongly limited to-day that the bellicose
case of the Garfield Park Racing Club and
the city would soon turn up a sensation
greater than it had yet produced. The
friends OF Mike Mcdonald, who was charged
in court BY Justice Woodman with having
attempted to bribe him with $500, threaten
to uncover much municipal corruption and
learn whether the bribery story was the
motive of politics or wounded honor.
Should the Woodman episode be taken up by
the grand jury. McDonald's friends will in
sist that the whole question of bribery ac-
complished or attempted, in connection
with the Garfield Park track, be thorough
ly ventilated.
They will demand that the whole story of
the $50, 600 bribe said to have been offered
to the Chief of Police by Ed Corrigan's
partner, the Turke, if the city would close
the Garfield Park track, be exploited. If
the Garfield Park Club crowd concludes
that they are to get the worst of the bargain
they will make, they say, some astounding
revelations that will smirch regulations
which have heretofore stood much higher
than McDonald's in public estimation.
Chief of Police McClaughrey has left town,
and his absence is. attributed, despite Off
cial denials, to threatened disclosures The
Garfield Park people say racing will be re-
sumed this week.
