There is disposition to go at the
bottom of things In Chicago. Investi-
cations already instituted reveal a
condition Of affairs that points to rot
tenness liz every department of gov
arnment. This, as matter of course,
has had its effect upon social condi-
tlons. When rottenness reigns su.
preme above, rottenness is pretty Ger.
tain to reign supreme below. The
spirit OF lawlessness has been unbrid-
led in Chicago for some years. Things
have been growing worse from year t.
year. AS a matter OF fact, anarchy
has prevailed there the greater part
Of the year just ended. There is Sc
curity for neither life nor property.
A popular upheaval is necessary te
avert even greater dkasters than
those that have already befallen the
wickedest city III the civilized world.

ONE upon a time-to be exact, in
1S40-an Englishman, VINO was known
as crank because he was teetotaler,
applied for life insurance policy from
a London company. He thought that
because of his abstinence from liquor
he ought to be given reduced prem
ium rate. Instead, the company at
tempted To charge him an extra pre-
miam 1t regarded him as poor
risk because he did not take little
VINE for his stomach S sake.
The outcome was that the English
man in his wrath founded a new life
insurance company-the United King
dom Temperance and General Provi-
dent Institution. This company offer
ed special advantages to teetotalers,
and while it also insured moderate
drinkers it kept the two classes of
policy holders sharply separate from
one another,
The officials of the company have
steadily insisted that their experience
justified the statement that the tee-
totalers had better chances for long
life than the moderate drinkers. but
many life insurance experts have
doubted the truth of the assertion.
Now, however, the actuary of the
company has made an exhaustive
study Of the facts, with results SO con-
vincing that even unfriendly experts
cannot gainsay them
The cases he examined were those
of .'whole-life" assurers, the number
being $4,000 abstaIners and $4,000
nonabstaners. For nonabstainers the
expectation of life" is shown TO be
practically Identical with that, at cor
responding ages. as SHOWN by the
latest mortality tables based on the
combined experience of the British
life companies. For the abstalners,
however, there is shown an expecta-
tion that is substantially 10 per cent
better throughout the working years
of life.

loathsume phase of human nature.

A bill has been introduced into con-
gress that will, if it becomes law,
make radical and wholesome change
in the liquor question. The bill pro-
poses that before the internal revenue
collector delivers liquor license to a
person under theIinternal revenue law
the applicant must show license from
the local authorities. Ii this bill
should become law it would do away
with the quart shop and its attendant
evils.
