Two Points of View i'm Regard to the
Honor of Ii.
The Bookman.

The Bookman.
President McKinley's own feeling about
the awarding of his degree must be very
much like that of a certain eminent bishop
OF whom we heard not long ago. A prom
inent university had invited this distin-
guished ecclesiastic to be present at Its
commencement exercises and TO deliver an
address. After he had %signif1ed his &C.
ceptance of the invitation, the university
authorities thought that II would be a
very graceful act on their part TO show
their appreciation OF his presence by con-
ferring upon him an honorary degree; and
so, in order to arrange the matter In proper
form. they delegated one OF their num-
Der TO visit the bishop and notify him
of their intentions. Tn person selected
for this mission was a callow young pro-
lessor who had not long occupied his chair,
and who still regarded his university as
representing pretty nearly all the world
that counts, and a portion OF the rest
of the universe besides. He was immensely
impressed with the Importance or his mis-
sion and with the general tremendousness
of the honor which he was going TO an
nounce Reaching the city where the bishop
lived, he went 10 the episcopal residence,
and, after sending In his card, was ush-
cred into the bishops study. With bated
breath and many circumlocutions lest the
bishop should be too much overcome IL the
news were sprung upon him without a GER
tain amount of preparation, he delivered
the message with which he had been
charged.

you would most desire to have"

What particular degree did they have In
mind?"

belongs TO the doctorate-LL. D., ID. D., s.

of the window and then al his watch.

1t took the callow young professor a
long while TO recover from the shock, but
when he came TO think it over IL probably
taught him something that he had never
known before.

INSURANCE MEN CONFER
REPRESENTATIVES, OF EXCEPTED
CITIES FORMULATE A REFORM.
of Multiple enc the
writing-RepOrt of a Committee.

CHICAGO. Nav 30.-Local insurance
agents in the excepted cities of the West
have taken a hand in the commission con-
troversy. and at an all-day session here
to-day prepared a platform and appointed
a permanent committee TO meet with any
comroittee of the companies if called upon.
This committee. however, was not author
tied to conclude an agreement without the
sanction of the conference. Representative
committees were present from the Louis
Vile Board of Fire Underwriters, the Gin
cinnati Underwriters Association, the
Milwaukee Board of Fire Underwriters and
the St. Louis Association OF Fire lnsur-
ance Agents. The declaration follows:
I'VE. the delegates OF the local agents of
Cincinnati, Milwaukee. Louisville and 81.
Louis, in session at Chicago on May 80.
1901. for adoption by under
writer's in the six excepted cities substan-
TALLY the following:
THE present system of multiple agea-
c!es, admitted by most companies to be
utterly vicious. stands directly in the path
of needed reforms. With only one agent
for each company an agency appointment
would be "a valuable FRANCHISE, readlly
placed at a lower commission than now
obtains. 1t would naturally be given only
To- the best class of agents; would again
universally invest responsibility and loyalty
in agency representation; would put con-
troll Of underwriting facilities In the hdhuS
of the men who fight the battles OF SOUND
insurance in their communities, anu SO re-
tifv. in large degree, the whole insurance
situation.
1--WE also declare that. until companies
and managers recognize that repateTs neu,
tralize the efforts of honorable and loyal
agents. and until an effective rule Is en-
forced between the companies, compelllns
the discharge of a rebating agent OF emu
ploye. the most obnoxious source or De,
noralization will continue and heaithIui
cooperation be found impossible.
I'VE believe that, until the foregoing
fundamental reforms are accomplished. no
decrease in commissions could be effective,
If attempted, but. when such reforms are
r.ade. other essential rectiications would
easily follow in natural and logical pro-
gression.'"
The meeting was unanimous in its action.
