Federal Supervision Of Insurance Com
panies.

a great deal of discussion has been
raised by the reports made at the an
nual meeting of the American Bar AS
ISOLATION held at Narraganset Pier,
Rhode Island. August 25 by the special
committee on insurance. There was
both a majority and minority report.
The majority report signed by Ralph
w. Breckenridge, Burton Smith, Alfred
Henerway and r. c. Mercer recon-
mended legislation by Congress pro-
viding for the Federal supervision OF
insurance.; the repeal Of all valued
policy laws: uniform fire policy. the
terms of which shall be specifically de-
fined; the repeal of all retaliatory/ tax
laws: stricter incorporation laws in the
several states in 50 far as they effect
the creation of insurance companies,
and Federal statute prohibiting the
use of the mails to all persons, associ-
atoms or corporations transacting the
business of insurance in disregard of
State and Federal regulations.
The minority report presented by w.
r. Vance declares that no reason has
been shown why the business Of insur-
ance should be regarded as interstate
commerce. therefore he deemed that in
his judgment the regulation and control
of the business is beyond the powers of
the Federal government. In this posi-
ton, II may be remarked parenthe.-
ically, Mr.. Vance is supported by Mr.
Thomas w. Lawson of Boston, who de-
clares emphatically that Congress has
no Constitutional right to regulate the
matter of insurance. T. is evident,
however. that the American Bar Assoc
| citation did not take the view enter
tanned by Mr. Lawson and Mr.. Vance,
inasmuch as it adopted with little oppo-
sition the report of the ina jority of the
committee.

der the summer season the fatal acci-
dent may be traced back either to ig-
norance of few simple rules that
should be known and observed by
bathers, or else to a rash and reckless
disregard Of them when known. In
the cases of the drowning of good
swimmers. the fatal cramp is general
ly due to their having gone into the
water too soon after eating or wher
overheated, and therefore with their
strength, unconsciously to themselves,
below it's par value. Here are The
cardinal rules for swimmers: Never
go into the water when overheated or
soon after eating. The careful physi-
clan would probably insist upon an in
terval Of at least two hours between
meal and bath; one hour is a fair
compromise between zeal and pru-
dence, and half hour the absolute
minimum for safety. Finally. don't
enter the water timidly and by de-
grees, but boldly and with a plunge.
wetting the whole body at once. II
one is not able to dive in, he should
wade in to knee depth, then wet his
head thoroughly and plunge in bodily.
These rules have been repeated often
enough to be familiar to everybody,
but they are continually disregarded.

If a merchant, or 4 man in any other
line of business, is unaware that he has
in his employ a zip" young person,
whose manner Of addressing middle
aged customers Is the SaE,e as though
greeting companions OF his or her own
age. he is to be pitied for his ignorance
of what is quite certain to hurt his
trade. But if knowing his young en-
ploye's ways he condones them and re-
tains him, he deserves his loss. That
business is diverted by having such
fellows to wait on customers, and in
addition by the presence in the store of
others of his kind who are attracted to
make a lounging place Of it. there IS
no question. Nearly everybody has
known of such cases. One man of tho

Wall Street Morality.
WALL Street Iuurnal.l

The immortality in Wall street con-
sists in the misuse of mechanism that
is constructed on an absolutely moral
basis. The same men who gamble in
stocks are likely to gamble on horses
and at roulette tables. The same men
who manipulate markets are quite like
ly to be in league with men who cor
rupt legislatures. A dishonest director
is no better and no worse than a dis
honest public official. Graft is no more
Odious in Wall street than it is in
Washington. In judging Wall street it
is necessary to discriminate between
the true and the false. the good and the
bad. 1t is the bad which does so much
to fill the columns of sensational jour-
nalislp: it is the good which is turning
the wheels of commerce.

Yellow Fever in the North.

While quite a number Of cases of yell
low fever have developed in the North
during the past summer, especially in
New York City where the health au-
thorities have been compelled to deaf
with quite a few of them, no epidemic
has resulted. In every instance
where such cases occurred, the victims
had come directly from the fever
stricken districts of the South. The ex-
perience Of the Northern health officials
in dealing with these sporadic cases
has led them to the belief that yellow
fever is not contagious in this section
of the country. 1t is now well estab-
lished fact that a certain species of
mosquito is responsible for the spread
of the contagion in yellow fever. and
scientists who have investigated the
subject say that this species of mos
quito does not exist in the North.
While all these things are reassuring.
the fact remains that in matters OF this
kind nothing should be taken for
granted. Even the scientists may DE
mistaken in their conolusions today as
they have been shown to have been
many times in the past. 1t is crafty
ing to hear that the yellow fever is now
practically under control in New
Orleans where it has ragged with great
est violence, nearly 1000 people having
been stricken with it. 1t is also n
gratifying fact that the death rate
from this disease the present year has
been the smallest in its history, more
than so per cent of those afflicted with
it having recovered, While in earlier
years about this percentage usually
died with it. These very figures are an
interesting tribute to the progress of
medical science during tic past few
years.
No little interest has been manifested
within the past few days in the an
nouncement which comes from the
South that an eminent physician who
has b3en investigating the matter in
New Orleans has ut length succeeded
in locating the yellow fever bacillus
that has hitherto bafitd the re-
searches of the scientists. If this
should prove to be true d great step
has been taken towards the final eradi-
cation of the disease.

Decline Of Drunkenness.

Public drunkenness IS comparatively
rare in all the cities Of America today
among all classes of society. James
Dalrymple of Glasgow. speaking of his
recent trip to this country. mentioned
the absence OF drunken men from the
streets of Chicago as something that
attracted his attention ard reused his
admiration throughout his stay here.
The spectacle of a drunken working
man is one rarely presented in any
community nowadays. 1t is not neces-
sary to bark back to pre-rcvolutionary
times to find a time when different
conditions prevailed. Moderation and
temperance are supplanting excess in
the use of liquors.

Sees No Cause for Worry.

\SlOuh lily JOuIIdif
TIE season for worriment over money
for crop moving is ut hand. but this
year nobody seems to be worrying.
The financial situation has been so easy
east and west all summer that the west
does not expect to call upon the east for
much ready cash in order to get the
crop marketing movement under way.
A matter Of more worriment In the
agricultural districts just now is the
liability that the big crops will over
tax the carrying accommodations of
the railways and freight car famine
will be experienced. This Is an annoy
ance that accompanies unusually large
crop yields. but the crops always get to
market, and frequently it is not to the
disadvantage Of the farmers to delay
the marketing process somewhat.

The Consumption Of Tobacco in the
United States.

In the last report of the Commission
err of Internal Revenue some interest
ing facts are brought out relative to the
enormous consumption of tobacco IN
this country. During the fiscal year
1905. no less than 7.5s9.3S7,207 cigars
went up in smoke to sootEe the nerves
and contribute to the enjoyment of the
people of the United States. most OF
whom it is safe to say. were of the
masculine gender. 1t is true, there are
rumors here and there of the growth or
the cigarette habit among women,
especially in high life. but inasmuch as
a good part of the average cigarette is
paper it does not enter is seriously into
the consideration Of the question Of
tobacco consumption as would other
wise be the case. The fact is very
clearly brought out by the revenue
commissioner that the tobacco habit
is largely on the increase in this coun-
try, inasnuch as the report for the
fiscal year 1905 shows that $4,000, 437
more cigars were consumed during that
period than during the fiscal year end
ing June 30. 1904.
During the last fiscal year 1876, 1886
cigarettes were used in this country, an
increase of 100000 over last year.
During the fiscal year 1905 1874, 4S9, 40
pounds of tobacco We're necessary to
meet the demands of those possessed of
the chewing and pipe smoking habit,
and 21,131.S61 pounds We're ground up
and consumed in the form of snuff.
