The following editorial from the New

things to the tendency in this country
TO ape England. Under the caption In

says.
A cable message to the Evening Post
states that insurance risks upon the
life of J. Pierpont Morgan to the amount
of 10000 900 have been written for busi-

ing her last years the life of Queen
Victoria was for similar reasons in
sured in considerable sums For in
stance, those who invested heavily in en-
terprises dependent for success upon her
Jubilee took this precaution. and the
same causes have already led 20 the in
surfing Of King Edward VII for great
amounts by men not personally related
40 him. But Mr.. Morgan is probably
the only American for whose health the
British investing public betraya such
