We note that Secretary Gilmore
of the Old Wayne Mutual Life
Association of indianapolis testified
recently in the superior court of
that city that its institution paid
only 18 per cent, of the face value
of its policies and it had legal
right to do so. The testimony in
question was given in connection
with suit brought for the appoint
ment of receiver in consequence
of its non-payment of a judgment
procured against it in Pennsylvania.
We also note from it's full page

Mushrooms come TO perfection IN
a single night, and they wither in
a day. The societies which the
editor of the Artisan takes so much
pleasure in picking to pieces have
made fraternal insurance what it is
in this country, and made 1t possi-
BILE for such concern IS the Unit
ed Artisan to build upon found
alton already laid AS we have
already reiterated, the society that
must build itself up by pulling
other societies down shows a lack
of sense and ability in its manage
ment. 1t ls usually the case that
he who boasts too much of his bull
let-proof armor wakes up some
morning to find it punctured.
There was II time in our history
when, like the anonymous editor OF
the Artisan, we thought we knew it
all, but that was many years ago,
and when this new Don Quixote
has had little more experience,
and gained a little more wisdom,
like all true students, he will cease
boasting of his knowledge and
hesitate to assert that all insurance
knowledge is contained in his own
little cranium.-BY WARNE VIII.

See How Long WIN You Live.

There is simple rule for finding
the average number of years which
persons of any age may expect to
live. If the present age be deduct
ed from 80, two-thirds of the re-
mainder is the answer required.
This result is not absolutely accur.
ate, but it is near enough. For in
stance, man aged 20 might by
this rule expect to live 40 years
longer, which is just what the lat.
est actuarial tables give. At 40 the
expectation of life works out at
nearly 81 years, while the tables
give it more than 25 years. At &c
the above rule allows just over 13
years, and the table shows a little
less. s.-Columbian Herald.

The unknown editor OF the Art1-
san, published at Portland, Oregon,
is another Don Quixote. If one
would believe all that he says, he is
the Nestor of fraternal insurance,
and is the only man in the United
States competent to criticise, or
give advice. 1t is a pity that such
massive intellect should not be
better known. Who is this Caesar,
anyway, and on what meat does he
feed, that he has grown so great?
He should not hide his light under
bushel. If he is to be the moses
who IS TO lead fraternal insurance
to the promised land of security
and perpetuity we ought to know
something of his pedigree, some
thing of his intellectual attain
ments, something of his natural
ability. 1t is not sufficient that he
tell us of himself. The men who
blow their own horns generally
have least occasion to blow it. An
old problem says that self praise
is no recommendation" 1t is
much better to let other people find
out your worth and ability than to
attempt to empress it upon them
yourself.
The Order of United Artisans,
which is evidently owned, body and
bones, by the anonymous editor Of
its fraternal organ, states on page 16
of the August issue that the rate OF
assessment for 81 900 at age Al is
rs cents per month, and there can
not be more than one assessment
per month. The total annual pay
ment is, therefor, $500. This man
has, according to the actuaries'
table of mortality, q years to live,
and will in those q years pay in
$2430O. Allowing the United
Artisans to invest the total amount
at compound interest at a per cent,
the Artisan would have at the end
of 27 years $437.04 with which to
pay the 81, 200 death claim. Per-
haps our insurance Nestor of Port
land can find some sleight-of-band
method by which this can be done.
We in the east are ignorant of any
method by which debt of 81, 1000
can be paid with fifty cents. But
on page 8, under the head "Reserve
Fund.-" it is claimed that the Unit
ed Artisans have a reserve fund Of
SIT per capita. Seventeen dollars
at per cent interest for 81 years
amounts to $49.01. This added to
the $437 .O4 above referred to, makes
the sum total, compounded for q
years, amount to $486.05, or less
than one-half the necessary amount
TO pay the death claim, and this as
sumes that not one dollar of the
total payment of any member Of
the Artisans shall ever be used for
the payment of the death claims
prior to their expectancy. In other
words, they propose to give some
thing for nothing, or nearly so, out
in Oregon, and it is not difficult to
get man to join an organization
under such inducements. If the
United Artisans were trying TO sell
the product of protection at fair
valuation, and doing it upon fra
ternal basis, they might not find
their growth SO rapid, but in the
end their advancement would be

Ballot Reform.

Senator David Martin has intro
duced his promised ballot reform bill
in the Senate, and as a nucleus for a
comprehensive act meeting all the
demands on this point it will serve
very good end.
The bill abolishes the party column
and the circle, and provides for group
ing the candidates under the designa-
tion Of the Office the voter being re-
quired to mark a cross opposite the
names of the candidates of his choice
The names Of the candidates will be
listed according to the vote Of the
parties or bodies nominating, begin
ming with the party polling the
largest vote at the last preceding
state election. The ballot so ar
ranged viii not be more than one
tenth the size of the blanket ballot
now in use.
Another feature of the bill Is that
which requires bodies Of citizens
naming state candidates by nomina-
tion papers to have such papers signed
by voters from every county in the
Commonwealth. 1t is also provided
that nomination papers shall be filed
one week earlier than is now the
rule, and the written acceptance to
run of each candidate named by nom
ination papers must be filed with the
papers nominating him. Persons
signing nomination papers must do
SO in their own handwriting, giving
pame and address and in addition
30 these, all the good points Of the
present law are retained.

thing to work on, and out Of the
