Urinary Insurance contracts, is an i'm
DOrtant point in a decision of the SUI
preme court. The court goes on to
}ay that under such rules it is not ne
essary that the premium be actually
paid, provided a condition of the pol
icy does not make payment pre-
equlslte and the insurer does not in
ist upon it. The rule must be that
when an insurer delivers a bond guar
tnteeing the acts of another that the
beneficiary may assume that the pre-
mlum has been paid, and that the in
5urer cannot afterwards be heard to
say that the premium was not paid
IS against the beneficiary who has in
good faith parted with value on the
strength of the promise in the bond.
The case was that of the Pacific Ma
donal bank of Tacoma, respondent, vs.
Aetna Indemnity Trust company, ap-
Dellant, impIeaded with Claude NJ
Seeley, doing business as Seeley & Co..
trustee for the Hardy Shipbuildne
company.
Seeley was local agent for the Act
ia Trust company and was also agent
for Hardy, who was building two YES
sells. The bank advanced $500 for
carrying on the work on the vessels
and accepted the bond of the trust
company as surety. This action was
to collect on the bond, the ship COM
pany having defaulted.
The trust company claimed that the
bond was issued in violation of public
policy in that Seeley was agent for
Doth insurer and insured, and that the
bond was invalid also because no pre-
| MUM had been paid. The court finds
that the evidence shows that the trust
company's northwest agent at Portland
w. J. Clemens, was present, and was
the actual agent for the trust COM
pany in the transaction. \ number
of minor points are involved, but the
court finds for the bank in all partic
ulars, affirming the Judgment given the
bank in the superior court.

WILL BECOME LIVE ISSUE.
Canadians Place Blame on Government
 for Allowing Arbitration.

St. John, N. B., October 22.-The con- servative newspapers in eastern Canada say that the Alaska boundary award will become a live issue in the general elec- tions throughout the country Some Of the papers declare that Canadians are to blame for the decision unfavorable to Canada, and they place the responsibility upon the government at Ottawa for allow ing the boundary question to be arbitrat- ed, in view of what is termed anti Cana . dian makeup of the commission. Little fault is found with the United States for that country's share in the negotiations, several of the Halifax and St. Johns newspapers holding that the United States is no way responsible for the present sit- uation.
 While most liberal journals also criti- cize the British government, the opposi- ton press Is assailing the Canadian gov ernment for accepting the commission as arbitrators. The conservative organ in this city, the Sun, attacks Sir Wilfred Laurier. The talk of Canada becoming an independent country as the result of the award is not regarded seriously in St. John.
