The Watts law has broken up many
of the corruptest dens that ever ex-
listed in the country. The Watts law

young men and many communities

not have far to go to find improve

THE COST OF LIFE INSURANCE.

The attention of all men has lately
been sharply called to the cost of life
insurance. The statements of the
amounts paid by North Carolina peo-
pie in premiums and the amounts re-
ceived by North Carolina people when
policies are paid is evidence enough of
the excessive cost of what has now
| come to be regarded as almost neces-
sary to every man with family. For
the year 1903 (the last available Off
cial figures) North Carolina people paid
in premiums $S,256, $3.50. The life in
surance companies paid back to North
Carolinians $3.50, 9S3.S9, showing that
North Carolina paid out $2,402, 404.71
more dollars than it received We take
it that this was no exceptional year.
The Springfield Republican, one of
the most conservative and careful
newspapers in America, discusses this
matter at length, with some valuable
figures and deductions. The impor-
lance of the question warrants the
publication of the editorial in fall. 1t
is DIS IOllOWS.
"a brief article by Serene S. Plat in
the current number of the World S
Work reaches the conclusion that life
and industrial insurance in the Uni
ted States costs too much. 1t certainly
does. There can be no doubt about
that. Some comparisons are made with
insurance in other countries to prove
this, though no such proof is needed.
Government industrial insurance in
Germany costs only per cent of the
income; while in Great Britain private
industrial life insurance costs 40. per
cent of income and "a per cent in the
United States
But we are here comparing private
with government insurance. Compare,
on the other hand. ordinary life in
surance in Great Britain and the Uni
ted StateS-in each case conducted as
a private business. Commissions and
expenses on the business written in
1904 in Great Britain amounted to 80
per cent of total income; in the Uni
ted States for % ordinary life COM
panies, the expenses were ia per cent
of total income.
"Quite as conclusive of indefenSible
extravaganza in the conduct of Amer
lean life insurance is an exhibit of the
disposition of disbursements for 81
American life companies during the
year 1904-7the total payments aggre-

Fortunes by Distiliery.
(Charity and Children.)

Many q fortune has been made by
liquor liStillers but none of them have
been honestly made. The only way IN
the world to make profit on whiskey
by distiller is to SWIndle the govern
ment; and a man who will sw1ndle
the government will swindle anybody
else And so in dealing with the man
ufacturers of liquors, who have pros
pered the State is dealing with gang
of swindlers. Hence the contempt for
law and order on the part OF these
men. and hence the tumult and terror
and brawls and bloodshed in those un-
fortunate communities in which they
are located.
There can be no truth without lib
erty.

Call Me a Dog, Sir?"

Coming to the personal criticism of
Col. J. G. L. Harris upon himself Col.
Skinner said he would pass over that
with absolute contempt but he would
not remain silent when the postoffiCe
inspectors had been unjustly criticised.
He declared that the attack of Col.
Harris on the inspectors in the official
discharge of their duties demanded an
answer and explanation. 1T is the
hit dog that howls,'' said Col. Skin
ner.
Col Harris jumped from his chair,
shook his fist in the face of Col. Skin
ner and cried: DO you mean to call
me a dog sir? I'll not take it. You
shant call me a dog, for l wouldn' t
amy other hall on Gods earth. I'd re-
sent it anywhere! Do you mean to call
me a dog, sir? p
While Col. Skinner was explaining
that he did not call Col. Harris dog,
Judge Purnell was rapping for order,
and Col. Harris sat down.
Col Skinner was not in the least
disconcerted; he almost inaudibfy re-
marked what poor grand stand play
Colonel Harris had attempted, and
continued ''They got the consent of
the landlady-"
mo sir! No sir, cried Mrs. Powell,
but the hand of her husband and a
vigorous Ssh! sh!" hushed her.
They got consent 4of the landlady
to enter the office of Powell, and they
took away every paper and article
bearing upon this business, and what
they did needs no apology, for they
have done their duty, and had they
done less they would have been to
