What We Pay for Our Lives.


 An authority on life insurance matters has been gathering some striking statistics on the subject of insurance policies and payments In 9,S33 cities and towns in the United States during the year l9o2 the total distribution to policy holders and their benehciaries ex- oeeded S32o, 900, 900. In the distribution of this sum among the larger cities New York holds first place, s22, e45.475 of the total sum having been distributed here in 1902 Philadelphia follows the metropolis with a record of receipts aggregating S9 e26 o96 Chicago holds third place with a record Uf S6, 922. 467. In each case these figures show an advance over those of the preceding year. which fact has led our authority into making some interesting prophecies. At the rate of distribution recorded for the past year, 1t Is estimated that the life insurance companies of New YoxlS (exclusve of Brooklyn are pledged to pay something like S46o. ooo, 900 to the citizens of Manhattan within the next twenty years; while Philadelphia will receive SI9o,- ooo 900. Chicago Si4o GOO 900, Brooklyn Sl4o ooo. 900, and Boston s 20. ooo ooo As more than ten thousand million dollars in poli- cies are carried in this country at the present time, the rate of increase suggests astounding possibilities for the future.

TRUNK LINE ROAD IN LUzoN.
Secretary Root Will Soon Take Up
 Subject of Construction.

Washington special to Brooklyn Eagle.
 Secretary Root will soon give his atten- tion to the subject of the construction of trunk line railroad in the island of Lu- zon. the wealthiest and the most import ant of the islands of that archipelago A number of syndicates have made appli- cation for railroad franchises in the Phil tppines, and Secretary Root now has a report on the feasibility of constructing line through Luzon. made by two civil engineers who were sent to Manila for the express purpose of making this sur vey
 The order for railroad survey of I,u- zon was issued some months ago in re- sponse to q general demand for expert in formation on this subject. Governor Taft has received numerous requests for facts and figures regarding the probable cost of trunk line in Luzon. and he recom- mended to the War Department that a couple of capable engineers be commits stoned to submit estimates Secretary Root was also urged to appoint these men by powerful capitalists in this country The report was completed and handed to the secretary within the past ten days
 Although the report Is being guarded with secrecy, it is known to be favorab ble to the scheme of building a railroad. de- claring it to be thoroughly feasible, all though the venture would cost a large sum of money. A copy of the report has been forwarded to Governor Taft. The estimate of cost is based on the prob able expenditure per mile, and this naries according to the nature of the country In the mountainous districts 1t is very large, but in the level stretches through the northern valleys it is quite reasonable
 It is likely that the Philippine govern ment will make a departure from the usual procedure in granting franchises when it dis poses of the railroad grant. Those who have kept close track of the developments at the department believe that the Philippine Commission will be directed to guarantee a certain per cent of profit on an investment of money in the building of railroads in the archipel- ago. It is known that this question has been up for consideration more or less for the past year. In fact, at one time, it got considerably beyond this stage and the prospects were good for the issuance of instructions to Governor Taft to pass the necessary legislation to give a gov ernment guarantee of profit on the rail road. At that time it was proposed to insure a return of per cent. on the in- vestment It is believed at the War De- partment that it will be necessary to give some such guarantee in order to in- duce capitalists to make the venture. | The construction of a road will be a tremendously costly experiment. the out come of which will be wholly problemat- | ical. Those who have faith in the sue cess of the enterprise believe that its in fuence in maintaining peace and advanc-

ing civilization in the northern provinces of Luzon would alone warrant the gov- ernment giving a guarantee. Nearly all of the trouble which the military author ities have had in Luzon has been in the northern provinces. where the mountains afforded secure hiding places for the rebels. Several serious outbreaks have occurred from time to time in the region south of Manila. The line of the proposed road pierces both of these sections and would so a great way toward making further warfare impossible.
 The route surveyed by the engineers started north from Manila and continued for a distance of 360 miles to Aparri, on the extreme northern coast. South of Ma nila the survey extended to Batangas. a port on the western coast just 75 miles from Manila. Thus a trunk line of some 40 miles was outlined taking in the rich region is especially noted as a great to- bacco country. The route followed the valley of the Rio Grande for a distance of about 30 miles and then passed over the Carabello Pass and dropped into the valley of the Cagayay and thence on to Aparri, the northern port.
 In addition to the wonderful agricultural crops for which the northern province of Luzon are noted, rich mineral deposits are lhCAO' lLl0 NdIlOuS surveys that have been made 1t is believed that gold, silver, coal and other valuable min erals exist there. but no prospector has had the hardihood to attempt to get any of them out. Valuable woods of various kinds are awaiting transportation facil- ities to be shipped to the coast.
 The engineers submitted an interesting chapter on the subject of labor in the Philippines They recommend that some o,,. Ha I-L. will be admitted to perform the rough la bor on the proposed railroad This re- commendation is made in spite of the fact that native labor was employed al- most exclusively on the Manila and Dag upan Railroad. which runs from Manila up the west coast, a distance of l10 miles to Dagupan. The civil engineers who made the recent survey had a poor opin- ion of the value of Filipino labor, how ever, and suggested that better results would be obtained by the employment of Chinese.
 It is stated at the War Department that keen interest is already being shown in the development of Luzon by the con- struction of railroads. Several requests from reliable sources have been received for franchises to build roads. One oi these came from the owners of the Ma nila and Dagupan road. This is owned by an English syndicate, which wants to extend a branch road along the coast north of Degupan so as to take in that entire side of the island. The China l Development Company, which comprises the Brice eWetmore syndicate. which has been operating in China for some years is also reported to be angling for Phil. ippine franchise. In addition, 1t Is be- lieved that efforts are being made to in. terest Sir William Van Horne in rail road building enterprise in the Philip. pines His great success with the Cana dian Pacific and with the new system oi | railroads just built in Cuba have caused | certain capitalists to approach him with view to undertaking a similar enter l prise in the far east.

 The occasion of Judge Parker's visit to Atlanta. whither he went solely in re- sponse to an invitation to address the Georgia State Bar Association, and where very properly, being a Supreme Court Judge, he said not a word about Presi- dential politics, is the fine excuse the Gormanites hereabouts have found to point out the startling fact that Parker Is not a masnetic man. that he has the fatal deficiency in Presidential timber of failing to arouse enthusiasm. This would be serious were 1t not for two things.

THE POST SPEAKS TRULY

Elsewhere on this page is copied an editorial from The Washington Post on
 "Lynching and It's Cause" to the last paragraph of which special attention is called because it touches a vital issue, and one on which too much emphasis cannot be placed.
 There is not a shadow of doubt in our
 minds that one of the prime causes of,
 and one of the chief excuses for, lynching lies in what we may fairly designate the indifference of the courts to the require
 ments of justice. When a peculiarly
 brutal crime has been committed by a negro, and all efforts to secure a prompt
 trial have failed, and when 1t is known
 that the trial may be delayed and post
 poned, and the criminal possibly escape punishment on some technicality. then the importance of the people overcomes their respect for the law and the court of Judge Lynch is organized to do what the legal tribunals have failed or refused
 to do. The white people in cases of this
 nature are determined that the ravisher shall be punished. and they take no chances of his escape. As The Post well says. the people must know that justice win be done, and because they do not know it, they execute the criminal. The Post speaks strongly and truthfully, for, as The Augusta Chronicle pithily re- marks: Better a legal lynching-if the summary court trial conviction and exe- cution are so denominated-than the law

WANT CRAY FOR PRESIDENT.
Anthracite Miners Uniting on Head
 of Strike Commission.

Pottsville, Pa, Special to N. Y. World.
 The quiet boom among the anthracite miners of Judge George Gray of Delaware for President, Is assuming tangible shape. A canvass of the officers of the mine workers locals shows that a great ma jority of those who are Democrats favor Judge Gray's nomination.
 The adherents of both Cleveland and Bryan have united in praise of Judge Gray. and 1t is expected that the latter will be indorsed for President by the ap- preaching Schuylkill County Democratic Convention. James B. Reilly, a promi- nent Democratic leader who served in the lower House of Congress while Judge Gray was In the Senate, said tonight that he considered Judge Gray's availability and popularity would land the President of the Strike Commission in the Presiden- tial chair if he were nominated.
