PROPOSED INSURANCE BUREAU.


The question of federal regulation of
insurance is receiving attention In con-
gress and members are going on record
regarding it. 1t is already shown that
a considerable number of representa-
tives believe that congress has au-
thOrity, under the interstate commerce
clause of the constitution, to provide for
supervision of insurance companies and
there appears to he very favorable
promise of such legislation at the pres.
ent session.
One plan proposed, which It is claimed
will not run counter 20 the supreme
court decision that life insurance is not
interstate commerce, is TO place under
the control of the general government
insurance in the territories and insular
possessions, over which the power of the
federal government is unquestioned. A
bill proposing this provides for the ere
alton of bureau of insurance I'm the
Department of Commerce and Labor
and n complete and careful code of laws
and regulations governing the conduct
OF life insurance in the District of Co
lumbia, the territories and the insular
possessions. II is provided that a life
insurance company desiring to do bust
ness In the District of Columbia and
territories would he required not only
| TO observe these laws and regulations
there. but also agree to observe them In
all the states. Such an agreement
would be based on the idea that the in
terests OF policy holders in the parts Of
the country covered by the bill would
be involved In the practice of the COM
pany elsewhere. The agreement would.
however. he entirely voluntary. that Is.
any company by reframug from prac.
| tice in the District of Columbia could
relieve itself from the necessity OF sub
scrihing to the new law But il is
claimed that any company so sub.
scrihing would have most effective
advertisement in its virtual possession
of y government guarantee Of honesty
| which Il Is thought would cause practic
ally all companies To voluntarily come
within the supervision Of the bureau OF
insurance.
II IL stated UhaI the pian Was aP

THOROUGH TEST OF LAW.
Prosecution of vioIators of the Anti
Rebate Law.
Pittsburg Despatch.

Pittsburg Despatch.
The constantly reiterated claim Of the
opponents Of the administrators rate
regulation policy that It is unnecessary be-
cause all offenses can be dealt with ade-
quately under the existing law is about TO
be given tho severest test possible. Attor-
ncy General Moody has issued instructions
to all the United States district attorneys
in the country to investigate promptly all
instances OF violation of the Elkns act
against rebates and determinations. 10 pre-
sent the cases to grand juries for ndict-
ment and to press them to a speedy conclu-
sion. He further advises that as the Elkins
bill only imposes fine where conspiracy
is shown charge OF that nature be lodged
with the purpose OF securing punishment
by Imprisonment. as decided by the suprem.
court.
Obedience to these instructions should
have the effect of demonstrating be yond the
shadow OF doubt whether the existing laws
are enforceable or not But it is expected
that when the district attorneys under AXE
TO pursue their Investigations they will find
themselves blocked by the difficulty of OBJ
tanning evidence necessary TO conviction.
Either the shipper and the railroad will
hang together against possible conviction
or the railroad will fail to produce the
books and papers necessary 10 prove the
case. This has been the usual experience.
In the Santa Fe case. involving the late
secretary of the navy, the suit was dis
missed because of a technical error in the
presentation of the case by the govern
ment, being decided solely on the ques-
ton of Jurisdiction.
With the proof Of the inadequacy OF the
present law illustrated locally all over the
country there should be no further ques-
! ton of the need for the new measure.
If, on the other hand the district at
torneys by any chance should obtain con-
victions and sentences of fine and impris-
onment 1t will have been worth while.
Looked at either way, the action OF the
! attorney general is 10 be commended.

TWO KINDS OF MEN.
Some Work by Rule, Others Exercise
Good Judgment.

Kansas City Journal.
The difference between the telegraph op-
orator at Gebhart, Ind, who refused to
warn a train OF suspected danger because
he needed orders for so doing. and the
other operator, who deliberately forged the
necessary orders. thereby averting an acct
dent, is something we'll worth the study
of al young men seeking advancement In
life. No doubt the operator who demanded
orders" for doing the obvious duty that
suddenly confronted him thought he was
adopting the right course. He had been
impressed with the Importance OF follow
ing orders and having official authority for
his actions. He submerged his own intel
ligence, II he had any, under miscon-
ception OF the word duty. He was merely
part Of a great machine and no doubt
prided himself upon his value to the rail-
road on the score OF absolute reliability.
David r. McDermott, at Peoria Junction,
was the operator who forged the superin-
tendents name to an order and saved the
train. 1t was not a case OF obeying or OF
disobeying orders. but OF exercising the
God-given faculty Of judgment in an emer-
gency. McDermott knew, or strongly sus-
pected the danger and tried to get the
operator at Gebhart to stop the train. His
tHOrtS Ittlleu DeIOTe ne adopted tne extreme
expedient of forcing the Gebhart operator
to give the warning by forging the order.
For this presence Of mind and the exercise
Of that quality know as good horse
sense" McDermott was calledto Pittsburg
for reward and promotion.
This incident shows better than anything
else the difference between one employee and
another, and explains why one man will
advance in his business or profession, while
another with equal opportunities remains
at the bottom. Orders are issued to be
obeyed, and discipline must be observed
but an operator that will allow a passenger
train TO rush to destruction because he does
not possess official authority to stop II has
negative virtues, but no positive value.
When McDermott forged the telegraphic
orders he knew he was taking chances. but
he also knew it was the right thing to
do. Some day McDermott will be issuing
superintedents orders in his own name,
while the poor chap at Gebhart will con-
tine to wait for others to think for him.
