The Value of a Name.

It is hard to say where the investi- gation of the New York legislative committee will end. It has already taken in companies concerning whose management there had been seemingly no suspicion and has proved that ir- regularities have by no means been confined to the original Big Three.
 The disclosures of Tuesday show that there has been some juggling in the Prudential Life Insurance compa- ny, and that the salaries of Senator John F. Dryden and his son were not beggarly. There was some reason, however, for the liberal salary paid President Dryden, light as his execu- tive duties may be, for the company no doubt owes much of its growth to his name.
 The Prudential, though it has been in existence for several years and is now strong institution, is quite young compared with the Mutual, the New York Life, or the Equitable. The history of the Prudential is an inter -esting one. It was begun in a small way and in a hitherto unworked field. Its clientele was made up of those who CT companies. and were by one circum- stance or another debarred from the fraternal instance. Insurance was sold by the week or month, and in the early days agents found profitable employ ment among school children, who for a few cents were insured from one week to another. So far as is known, it's operations were honest and the com pany is popularly believed to have ac- complished much good in the partic- ular field it selected for itself.
 It steadily increased it's scope of op- erations. United States Senator Dry den, a man of national reputation, un- questioned integrity, and great wealth, became president, and the company quickly took place in the front rank.
 The investigation of it's affairs has so far at least disclosed no misappro- priation of funds beyond that paid for legal services which custom among insurance companies mad apparently made necessary. The salary of Senator Dryden is not out of proportion to the value of his name. His son, who is now we'll paid, had the modest beginning of S3 to s1O a week, and his nephew, a clerk, is receiving the princely in come of $20 a week.

THE MUTUAL
 PRESIDENCY
Charles A. Peabody Sue,
 CeedS R. A. MCCurdy
President Dryden of the Prudential Life Insurance Company is in Favor of Federal Supervision.

New York, Dec 1.-Two incidents affecting the life insurance situation in New York today overshadowed the leg islative investigation While the com mittee was inquiring into the conduct of the Prudential Life Insurance com- pany and the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance company, George w. Perkins. resigned as first vice president and chairman of the finance committee of the New York Life Insurance company. He was succeeded as vice president by Alexander E. Orr, president of the New York City Rapid Transit commission and as chairman of the finance com mittee by John Clafflin, head of the H. B. Clafflin company.
 Another important move in the sit uation was the election by the trustees of the Mutual Life Insurance company today of Charles A. Peabody U sue ceed Richard A. McCurdy as president of that company at s50,000 a year. MT. McCurdy's salary was S150,000. MT. Peabody is a lawyer, the American representative of Wm. Waldorf Astor. and director in several banks and other corporations, of which one is the Illinois Central Railroad company. MT. Peabody also was nominated as trus- tee Ol the huluSl l@lIS lHSufdnce COiil- pany to succeed Justice Rufus w. Peckam and Emery McClintock was nominated to succeed Elihu Root. They cannot be elected as trustees until the next meeting of the board.
 United States Senator John F. Dry den, of New Jersey, president of the Prudential Life Insurance company, again testified before the Investigating committee today and a statement to the committee giving his reasons for fav- bring federal supervision of life insur- ance companies through a national in- surance department which he said should be an authority over them. He said it would benefit both the companies and the insured.
 The tendency of the holders of in- | dustrial policies in the Prudential and Metropolitan Life Insurance companies to lapse were examined in great de- tail by Charles E. Hughes, counsel for the committee, who read statement | by the Prudential that g per cent Of 1 its industrial policies lapse within five

The Sky Is Not Overcast.

Notwithstanding the apparently gloomy prospect outlined in The Re- publican's dispatches of yesterday, there is much on which to base a strong hope of the defeat of the state hood bill. That it will pass the house is now quite certain, though 1t will not reach the senate without having been in fight. But there may be a reason able confidence that the bill. in so far as it affects this territory, will go no further.
 There is more national business be- fore the senate than the making of new states. To the president and to the people at large on both sides of the contention. railroad regulation is an overshadowing matter.
 In this the president is opposed by so vast a majority of the republican senators that in order to succeed he must have the practically solid support of the democratic senators, a majority of whom may be counted upon to op- pose the jointure of Arizona and New oOIle Ol lLSSG uClliOSi SAliS senators, notably Senator Bailey, of Texas, and Senator Morgan, of Ala bama, though friendly to Arizona, would support the Hamilton bill for the sake of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, but would no doubt support their democratic colleagues in the movement to release Arizona and New Mexico. a probability suggested by special dispatch to The Republican this morning. The democratic sena- tors, or even a half dozen of them. could very easily force the president either to withdraw his support of the Hamilton bill or consent to release Arizona and New Mexico from it's pro visions. However confirmed a mono maniac on the subject of joint state hood Senator Beveridge may be, Pres ident Roosevelt would very quickly give way on the determined demand of handful of democratic senators without whose aid he would have to acknowledge his defeat in the failure of the railroad regulation project.

ADDRESS TO PoLIcYHoLDERs.

Mir Peabody today issued the fol- lowing statement addressed to policy holders of the Mutual Life Insurance company:
 q have this day been appointed president of the Mutual Life and have accepted the position. I desire to com municate directly with the policy holders for whose benefit this great trust is being administered. No pri- ate interest controls the company and i enter upon the discharge of my du- ties as the representative solely of the policyholders, chosen unanimously by their elected representatives, the board of trustees. The new administration stands pledged to economy, to lawful methods and to reform existing abuses Much already has been accomplished to carry out these pledges and all will be done that is necessary to fully re- deem them. The board of trustees is harmonious and united on these matters The company possesses financial re- sources far beyond it's liabilities. Lapses and surrender of policies mean an abandonment of the accumulations and savings of years of thrift. Policy holders are urged to continue their policies in the company and not with draw from it.
 q ask of your constituents that they will give me and the board of trustees fair trial and judge us not in ad- vance, but by the results accomplish ed. take the office conferred upon me with a full sense of the sacred nature of it's responsibilities and of the obli gations I owe to those who entrust to the officers and trustees of this com pany provision for widowhood and or phanage."

years of their issue. Senator Dryden declared that that is much to be re- gretted from the standpoint of the company as we'll as that of the insured
 and that the tendency now is toward a greater persistel lcy on the part of the industrial holders than formerly. The senator asserted that industrial insur- ance, even with high rates and ten dency to lapse, is the great economic force now in operation in this country.

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that infiict more
torture than rheumatism and there is
probably no disease for which such
been suggested. To say that it can be
cured Is. therefore, bold statement to
make, but ChamberIains Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has met
with great success in the treatment OF
this disease. One application OF Pain
Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds
of sufferers have testified TO permanent
cures by It's use. Why suffer when Pain
Balm affords such quick relief and costs
but a trifle. For sale by Ritter Bros.
