the Sage family best say that there is

it all her own way in the management

McNaH has played the part of q car

than Wilder did, but, while McNau is
abused, the record of Wilder Is yet the
chief stock in trade OF himself and son
a insurance journalists
Life iugIrance managers have dis
played great fondness for state inSur-
ance superintendeuts when they could
control them as they desired and they
are quick to invoke the law when it can
be made to serve their purpose They
are as prompt. also, to damn the iusur-
ance departments and the Laws when
the force of government is turned
2 ga inst them. But this chaugefuI atti-
tu6e is not a characteristic peculiar to
insurance managers; it marks all sell
FISH interests Most men regard gov
ernments with favor or disfavor as
their own desires prompt them They
are willing enough that the government
interfere with all other persons, but cry
aloud when the interference affects
them It is well in this connection TO
read the following words of John Stuart
Mil on the subject:
There is in fact no recognized prin-
ciple by which the propriety or impro-
priety Of government interference is
customarily tested. People decide ac-
cOrdiEg 10 their personal preferences.
Some, whenever they see any good TO be
done or evil to be remedied, would will
EngIy iustigate the government to un-
dertake the business; while others pre-
fer TO bear almost any amount of social
evil ra ther than add one to the depart
ments of human interests ameua bic to
governmental control And men range
themselves on one or the other side in
any particular case according to this
general direction of their sentiments, or
according to the degree of interest
which they feel in the particular thing
which it is PROPOSED that the govern
meut should do, or according to the be-
lief they entertain that the government
would or you'd not do II in the manner
they prefer; but very rarely on account
of any opinion to which they consistent
1y adhere as to what things are fit to be
done by a government. And it seems
to me that in consequence of this alb
Sence of rule or principle, one side is al
present as often wrong as the other;
about equal frequency, improperly in
voked and improperly condemned"
Mr.. Mill strikes the keynote of the
situa ton A few men are inclined to
indicate their ideas of government by
the use of terms which will identify
them with certain recognized fuuda- =
mental principles; many men are indif-
ferent to these principles, giving them
little thought or, if not Indifferent they
their fellow men; but the majority of
persons, whatever theory of govern
ment they may subscribe to by their
words, are controlled solely by their
selfish promptings and, while ella imtn z
for themselves an unreStrained liberty
of action, would have all others subject
to most stringent laws The positfon of
this ma JOr1ty is, of course. Illogical but
1t IS this Illogical eEOiSn1 which has
kept mankind IN conflict since the world
began As TO the position which Mr..
McNaH occupies. il is despotisn. but il
is a despotism which is recognized by
our imperfect laws.
