RULING IMPORTANT TO
ERAIERNAl INSURANCE

The court of appeals of our neigh
boring state, Missouri. has just rem
dered a decision that will, if sus-
tanned by other courts, greatly affect
the interests of fraternal life insur-
ancs societies. The decision will be
of interest in Rock Island. as it in
wolves great order whose headquar-
ters are here. The decision in brief is
to the effect that u failure to pay an
assessment when due does not neces-
sariIy invalidate the insurance, or in
other words that unless a policy is
cancelled as soon as it is lapsed the
society is liable for the face of the
policy.
The case at issue was one by which
the heirs of John Tevis. of Excelsior
Springs, Mo, will be paid the face
value of his insurance policy in the
Modern Woodmeu, although his pol
icy assessment had been overdue two
weeks wnen be died. and the dues
were not paid up TO date until more
than two hours after his death.
1t was shown that Tevis, in COM
mon with about 80 per cent of the to-
tai local mem bership of the organiza-
tion, was invariably from day 20 q
fortnight in arrears, and the conten-
tion of the attorneys for the widow
was that inasmuch as the custom had
been to accept Tevis' money, not
withstanding it was generally ten
dered in arrears. the same money and
tender must be good after death, not
withstanding then the policy would be
i'm ~ ejiately due. Tne trial court
held this was good law, and nov the
court of appeals aflirms the decision.
Every effort has been made to retul Il
the asses smsnt, but the court held
that inasmuch as the custom of the
lodge had been to take money from
deiinq aents while they lived. il must
continue to take 1t from their re pre-
sentatives when dead in order to keep
up the policy.
The case was stubbornly fought.
The order tried to show that the sec
retary who took the monthly assess
ment was tne agent of the lodge. The
court now holds that he is the agent
OF the lodge and not the agent of the
mem bers. but a ST as ticket seller
is the agent of q railroad and not the
agent OF the man TO whom he sells q
ticket. Being The agent OF the lodge
what that secretary does he does for
the lodge, and the day he starts in
accepting dues from the mem 0ers
after the appointed time. that il the
day he abrogates all clauses in the
policy which say that if dues are not
paid by a certain time they will be
null and void.
The decision is final and affects all
fraternal assessment insurance socie-
ties so far as their business in Mis-
souri, is concerned: II it is followed
by similar decisions in other states it
will probably result in lodges every
where enforcing tho rule of policies
lapsing when dues are not paid. To
enforce that rule night mean the sac
rifice of regiments of mem bers. as paw

In the goOd old days when we were
greatly pestered by neighbor's sow.
