In this paper. the recommendations con-
tanned in the above report were set
forth and commented upon. The read
ers of the Advertiser will remember
that the report recommended that each
State pass a law providing for annual
distribution of dividends on policies Of
life insurance by all companies, after
the second policy year. This would be
an excellent provision, but some of the
companies would be compelled to
change their method of doing business
and alter their policy contracts. Not
so with the Pacific Mutual Life Insur-
ance Co. of California, who have writ
ten practically no other form of policy
for years. Over 80 per cent. of their
business is on the annual dividend plan.
1t is not necessary to legally compel

best for its policyholders They have

Host recommends other companies be

the credit to the Taft agreement, to
others it is we'll known that the sue
cess of the negotiations was in no small
measure due to Mr.. Barrett's patient
and careful efforts before the Secretary
of War arrived.
So direct a slap at Secretary Taft
could not we'll pass unnoticed, and a
few weeks later the Star and Herald
felt impelled to offer this simple ex-
planation:
The article was left at this Office by
Mr.. Barrett's private secretary, and we
have every reason to suppose was writ
ten by Mr.. John Barrett himself, his
powers of self-laudation having long
been the envy of those seeking diplo-
matte promotion.
Mr. Barrett has since explained that
the article in question had been written
by somebody else, but left with his
secretary for the latter's revision;
and that the aforesaid secretary was
not acting in this case either for HIM
self or for his chief, but in the capacity
of representative of this nameless per-
son. All of which sounds very fishy.
We would not attach too great import
ance to a matter chiefly of taste and
good manners, despite the fact that
those are the qualities supposed to be
the elementary attributes of diplomacy.
But such tales are irritating; such in
cidents ought not to happen; such acts
