Ninety'two Millions Paid Policyholders

The Prudential, Insurance Com
pany of America has added another
highly successful year to its bril-
liant record, an announcement
which will cause satisfaction to its
millions of policyholders. The vol
ume of paid-for insurance issued by
The Prudential during 1904 was
over 1912 900, 900, an amount larger
than ever before in the Company's S
history. The assets were increased
by $4,000, 900, bringing the ac-
cumulated assets up to over SSS,-
600, 900, with liabilities of SIS, ,ooo-
600, leaving surplus of SI3, 900, =
900. The Annual Statement of
The Prudential, just published,
analyses these assets and shows
them to be of the highest grade.
There was paid to policyholders
during 1904 the sum of over $I3,
900, 900. The Company since its
organization has paid to policy
holders over S92, 900, 900.
A fact which strikes the casual
reader, and one which goes far to
explain the support of the Com
pany by the masses, is it's Just and
liberal method of settling claims.
Holders of old policies often receive
more money than their policies en-
title them to, no less than IS, 900, :
900 having been paid by the Com.
pany since its formation in such
voluntary concessions to holders of
old policies.
Write to the Home Office of the
Company, Newark, N. j., for in
formation concerning The Pruden-
tails policies, which furnish guar
anteed protection to the family as
we'll as dividends to the policy
holders.

Mr.. Depew is sailing for Europe today. to

The New War Cloud.

France and Germany, 1t seems altogether
likely, are not going to war over the Mo
rocco affair. The subject lends itself to
speculation by reason of the long time
attitude of the two powers toward each
other. For twenty years past every move
of Importance made by either power has
been examined by the outside world for a
sign bearing on the political fortunes of
the other. France. the public has believed.
has been strengthening herself for n re-
newal of the old struggle. In which she
Jared so badly, while Germany has had an
eye single to retaining the advantages she
then gained over her adversary.
AS the everyday phrase is. the two pow
ers do not love each other a little bit. But
just now there are many things for them
to consider besides the old grudge. Indeed.
the old grudge is for the moment subordi-
mated. France is deeply concerned in the
financial end of Russia's difficulty. while
however little Germany may like the ar
rangement between France and Great
Britain respects Morocco, the present Is
far from a good time for her to issue an
ultimatum about it. AS a matter of fact
Germany is seeking a conference. and wants
all the powers to attend.
War between France and Germany would
ever known. All Europe would become
involved. and both Japan and China might
be drawn in. America might remain on
the outside but our position even there
would be most uncomfortable.
We may probably believe therefore that,
INCLUSIVE and theatrical as the kaiser Is
at times. and volcanic as France Is when
ever Germany is mentioned. neither will at
this time press contention to the breaking
point These eighteen months of slaughter
in Manchuria and destruction on the near
by waters have taught US all something

good cause is not only expensive. but a
crime against the progress of the world

to meet the immediate emergency involved
If the District government, so often cited
as ideal. is weak in any one particular It
is in this matter of centralized responsible
ity. The division of the administrative force
into three sections. each supervised by a
Commissioner. has Its decided merits In
that each group of bureaus is more readily
kept. theoretically at least, in high state
OF efficiency. But when the sections over
lap. as often happens IN municipal or
ganization. there is need for immediate at
tention to the possible conflict of authority
and interest. alphabetically the sections
are all blended into a harmonious whole.
Actually. however, as this pond case indi-

Chicago's Scotch Guest.

Why fall out as some people are doing,
with Mr.. Dalrymple, the Scotch expert who
came over to instruct US about municipal
ownership and operation of public utilities.
because he has pronounced the American
field unpromising for that sort of thing?
His critics are little tart on the subject
What does he know about US? 1t Is his
first visit to the country, and he has been
over but a short time. He should have

the Glasgow procedure, leaving to de-

Softly. good people. In the first place.
let US remember that as trained Scotch
man Mr.. Dalrymple thinks rapidly and
must be a good judge at glance of a
business proposition. 1t was not necessary
for him to spend year in Chicago to be
able to appraise just one feature of the
municipal problem there. Knowing all
about Glasgow. he had but to inform him
self about a few of Chicago's methods of
doing public business to get sufficient
grasp of the situation. And having arrived
at opinion in the premises it was en-
tirely proper for him. to express it.

Motor Accidents

This is the time for the shocking automo-
bile accident, with the motorists themselves
the victims. There have been several with
in a few days. each case proving the inca
pacity of the person at the controller. One
man dashed into fence. thinking there was
an opening at that point. One man tried
to cross steam railroad track without first
checking his machine to learn whether the
road was clear. One man ran full tilt into
trolley pole because he was not paying
attention to his steering. being engrossed
in conversation with the women whom he
was taking out riding. In every case death
or terrible injuries resulted.
Some of the spring and early summer ac-
cidents are attributable to the fact that
inen are at this season investing in ma
chimes. and are intent upon trying them
at high speeds without sufficient practice
With certain callousness the advocates
of the high-speed power motor declare that
this kind of disaster is always to be ex-
pected for a few weeks each season
The motor habit is growing fast 1t is
spreading to all classes of society and IT is
becoming possible for people of slender
meaps to enjoy the use of motor cars at
slight expense by hiring them for short
periods. The latter rely upon the services
of the professional chauffeur. who Is noto-
riously indifferent to the rules of safety
Many of the bad smashes of this spring
have been caused by the Incompetence of
the hired manipulators of the machines.
1t Is not enough to say that as long as the
occupants of the automobile alone are killed
or injured the public at large has no cause
to complain. This is a supremacy selfish
view. which ignores the fact that many OF
the occupants Of motors that are run into
death traps are wholly innocent victims Of

End Of a Cruel Sport.
From the New York News.

The sport of shooting live pigeons from
traps is ended in New Jersey by decision
or the supreme court sustaining the Bachel-
Ter act, passed at a special session of the
legislature called In response to public de-
mand for law abolishing the cruel pas
time. The gun clubs which opposed the
law and questioned its validity, now will
be compelled to obey it, and to find some
thing other than live birds to shoot at for
money stakes. There is no good reason for
the survival of the brutal sport anywhere.
Its cruelty Is not to be denied, and 1t has
become. like horse racing. a mere excuse
for gambling.
