The Delaware Legislature has done
good work by abolishing the pillory,
humiliating relic of punishment that
belongs to others days. Why this
state should have clung to this old
custom after all other states in the Un-
ion has abolished it has been won
dered at by many of the states best
citizens. It is to be hoped that the
Governor will give it his approval
without delay.
The pillory first came into use as a
means of public punishment in early
colonial days. Its trst form was that
of the stocks, in which the wrists and
legs of offending men and women were
pinioned, while the public jeeringly be-
held the benighted victims. In con-
nection with the pillory the ducking
stool was another humiliating device
for punishment or torture in the days
of the pioneers. They were relegated
decades ago, however, but the pillory
has been preserved through the ages
of enlightenment until the present sue
cessful assault has been made upon it.
Smyrna times., 1905-03-22
A National Institution.

President Roosevelt, in his message
opening Congress in December,
pointed out that the business of insur-
ance had attained national proportions,
and his words will be remembered by
those who read and examine the An
nnal Statement for 1904, of The Pru-
Dental Insurance Company.
This Company wrote and issued dur
1904 over $3l2, 100000 of paid for life
insurance, increasing the number of
policies in force to nearly six millions,
and bringing the amount of insurance
in force to sum exceeding one billion
dollars.
This Company. whose agencies ex-
tend to every State in the Union, is a
truly national institution, not only in
size but in the position which it occu-
pies as the trustee for the funds of the
millions in all parts of the country,
thus furnishing means of making pro-
visions for the future for themselves
and their dependents.
That this trust is we'll placed is
shown by the fact that the Company
has accumulated assets of over $SS-
900, 600, and surplus exceeding $13-
900, 900, the liabilities being $75, ,OO0-
600. The exhibit this year gives very
| plain and convincing statement Of the
character of these assets and of the Sc
curity which is afforded on its loans
on bonds and mortgages and collateral
securities.
One very interesting item of the
statement is the amount paid to its
policyholders. Over $13,000,0 900 we're
paid to policyholders during 1904. The
Company has paid to policyholders tc
date total of over 500, 100000. 1t il
certainly impossible to estimate the
amount of good which the distribution
of this vast sum of money has accom-
plished for the American people who
have been its recipients.
The Company has at different times,
made changes and concessions in it
policies, which resulted in giving ad
ditlonal benefits to those insured
Wherever practicable these concession
are made retroactive; and up to tn
present time the Company has distrib
uted in cash dividends and other con
cessions, not stipulated in origins
contracts, and voluntarily given t
, holders of old policies, over five mil
lion dollars.
; The Company will furnish any in
! formation concerning its policies t
those who write to the Home Office, 6
