THE CASE OF HUzzA.

The story of the Huzza policy
is told, not because il. is case of
rare occurance-The Mutual Bene

but because it is typical of the
treatment of members by this

of So years-a record unmatched
by any other company.

TEoDY's FRIENDS ARE ELATgo

In exceedingly bad ia te some of
the ardent friends of the President are
referring to the death of Senator Han
ma as ''Roosevelt luck, !" "a clincher to
the nomination, and removal of all
opposition" but it may be seriously
do ubted whether the death of the
Ohio senator will prove to be rare
stroke of luck for Roosevelt
The regrettable taking off of Sena
tor Hanna does not necessarily imply
that The hostility to the President,
due to lack of confidence in him
which is widespread in business CIR
cles, will cease. On the contrary, there
is much reason TO believe that the
feeling Will grow. because the business
in erests of the country with confidence
| regarded Senator Hanna as a great
conservative force who by reason of
his leadership of the Republican or
ganization and his prominence and in
fuence in the Senate could be depend
ed upon to serve as check to the i'm
petuous man in the White House
1t is true that many of Mr.. Roose
velt's admirers do not regret that Sena
ter Hanna has been removed from th.
stage of life and poll les, because they
viewed with feeling of jealousy ani
apprehension his growing populsri ,
with all classes of reople.
But they had no justification fo
lodging against him the charge tha
he was secretly sche m ing to preven
the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt fo.
the Presidency. Long before hi
death Mr.. Hanna saw that the nomi
na tion of the President was inc vita
bic and he accepted the situation
gracefully, although he preferred as
can didate for the Republican party al
older, more experienced and more con
servative man.
1t is safe to say that if Mr. Hanus
had not bean stricken by the illness
that caused his de th he would hav
entered heartily into the management
of the Republican campaign, becaus
he was devoted to his party and place,
its success above all other considera
tions, hencs the work of the Democra'
TO defeat Mr.. Roosevelt would have
been much harder tha it is likely t
be now
Senator Hanna during his sh }rt po
lit'c al career developed a genius fo
leadership and orgauiz alton which was
truly remarkable, aud the loss of thi
leadership which would have been s.
effective in the coming presidential
contest is much deplored by the NOR
thoughtful Republicans in and out O
Congress- because their party has n
man who can measure up to his abili
~, or who enjoys so unreservedly tn
confidence aud esteem of the indus
trial, commercial and financial inter
ests upon whom the Republican party
depends for the money with which t
conduct a successful campaign
It is quite probable that Mr. Roose
velt feels some small degree of salts
faction in the fact that the death O
Senator Hanna removes all doubt a
to his nomination, but in spite of thi
we believe that he grleved over tn
loss of man who could have don
more than any other dozen Republi
cans to secure for him another term a
President. There is much reason t,
believe that the Republican party VII
soon understand that the death 0
Hanna must be regarded as bad lucI
instead of'good luck for the President

tent of its use. Its business and me-
chanical arrangements are still clumsy
and unwieldy. The telephone industry
is one of the few which cost more TO
handle at wholesale than at retail. What
! mean is that 1t now costs enormously
more in proportion to run a large telc-
phone business than small one. Sup
pose you are one OF one hundred fami-
lies connected with a telephone exchange.

other families to talk with,

Now, suppose X the patrons of the ey-

have, instead ofsninety-nlne families, one
hundred and ninety-nine to talk to, and
