PREFERRED RISKS,

The decision of the big life insur-
ance companies to give lower rates
to total abstainers will weigh more as
temperance argument that all the
eloquence. tracts and statistics Of tenn.
perance advocates.
The average man fights shy of a
"reformer," whom he considers a spe-
cious kind of person difficult and un-
necessary to follow But the man.
ayers of insurance companies are ordi-
nary business people, who avoid a
danger because it is danger and rate
a man as second class risk because
something is the matter with him.
Their discrimination against one who
drinks can only mean that the drinker
is at physical disadvantage compared
with an abstainer, and the discrimina-
tion is known to be free from every
bias In favor of a cause" II will
surprise many people to learn that the
Insurance companies have discovered
by series of investigations extending
over years and including many thou
sands of cases that even the moderate
drinker is a substantially inferior risk
to the man who does not drink at all
Some OF the figures make the difference
as much as so per cent and in no case
do they fall below 20 per cent.
The insurance companies are willing
to. back their opinion with cash, as
they are preparing politics at a re-
duction to total abstainers, and this
faith in their deductions will strength
en- the hands of temperance workers
powerfully. Whether taking for
granted that insurance companies are
correct in their belief a mans right to
drink ought to be restricted is an en-
tirely different question. 1t is often
more advisable to regulate an evil
than to attempt to suppress II, and
many will question the desirability Of
a long but dry life.
But it is something gained to have
the experience Of the insurance COM
panies crystalliZed In an expression
Of opinion on the question of drink, as
man can now know, with a consider
able degree of probability, the effect
of his indulgence upon the length OF
his days.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-12-17

cess OF the party, II believes in tae
highest standard OF politics along the
line established by President Roose-
welt. No one man or set OF men should
control party AFFAIRS, for they become
a ring and political rings are distaste-
full to the voters OF the party which are
necessary for success in elections, The
Astorian viii not lend its aid or In
iiuence to any such combination, for
to do so would be to put II In teh cate
CORY OF a ring organ.e a position than
II does not seek and will always refuse
TO fill.
II the republican party OF Clatsop
county is to be successful there must
be reorganization, There must be a
community OF interests. and not the
building up Of clique or ring, Experi-
enec has demonstrated in elections In
Astoria and Clatsop county during the
past six year. the republican party has
been defeated, and these defeats are
the result Of lack Of confidence in party
management, How far they are justi-
fled in this belief, il Is not necessary
to discuss but past experience should
be sufficient to impress upon some OF
the leadersfi the lack Of party conf
dence that actually exists In the re-
publican party of Astoria and Ciatsop
county.
The actions of those in authority last
Wednesday, in electing board OF po-
lice commissioners is not calculated
TO inspire confidence in the party. The
proper method TO have pursued was
that when the city convention was
held. nominations for three police COM
missioners should have been made by
the convention. But underhanded
political methods will not be tolerated,
no matter how honest the persons were
who believed that a desperate disease
required a desperate remedy.
The Astorian will never antagonixe
teh republican party, not any man
nominated by 1t. as long as the con-
ventions are properly called: all con-
tiicting factions permitted to have a
vote, and ring rule is eliminated. This
is the policy outlined for the guidance
of the party in the future, and which
viii be strictly adhered to. believing
that it is for the best interests of the
party and will bring victory instead OF
defeat.

JAIL HELD sv WOMAN.
Prisoner Locks the Department ou. o
Doors.

Chief OF Police Hallock Is no ma
tron," and he deties any one to prove
the contrary. but female prisoner,
Mrs. NJ, Il. Moore by name, crazei
from the effects of drinking pure alco-
hol, last night attempted to jump into
the river. and was only prevented by
the fact that her feet had the wrong
inspiration and baked at a critical
moment until the watohman could get
hold OF her; .whereupon abe was COM
mitted to the tender mercies OF the
chief
Hallock did the best he could, He
locked her up. but this morning a
large portion OF the fumes of the vino
had evaporated. and the chief did not
secure the woman as closely as might
be. under the impression that he, not
being matron, had no right. as a
bachelor, to ride herd" on a woman
prisoner. The chief took his two cats
out OF the office, ensconced them In the
vault, and then abandoned the Jail.
He returned several times and looked
lat II from across the street to see
that the place hadn't been moved, and
then returned 10 where he could lean
up against something and weep TN he
felt better over the thoughtlessness of
misguided policemen who would bring
a woman into matronless jail. Chas
Gamble Is the matron. but his motherly
instincts failed him yesterday and the
chiefs faith In the Lord and the pro-
lection of his friends was all upon
which he had to rely.
Sheriff Linville. however. wanted to
hold communion with prisoner who
seems TO have secured divorce from
his better Judgment. and whom the
sheriff wants to examine this morn
Ing, so he went down after his man.
The jail was locked.
The sheriff was surprised. He
knocked No go.
Peering over the curtain OF the
chiefs private Office Linville decried
Mrs. Moore sitting In the chiefs chair,
her feet on his desk, and almost the
same air OF profound abstraction
glooming her features that pervades
the countenance OF the chief when he
is thinking of his sins at 3;S p. m.
Tom Linville grasps a position very
quickly. so he sent a hail to the chief
and then tried the effect OF persuasion,
but Mrs. Moore had the bird cage
locked on the inside.
In fine, it took the efforts Of the de-
partment to break into It's own Jail
and 1t would be laying seige to the OUT
side now IL Linville hadn't bethought
himself to smile. and few women can
withstand the sheriff's grin.
Mrs. Moore shot the bolts back and
opened the door.
