OF besmirched officers is needed to establish public confidence in the
permanent stability of the companies whose funds have been so mon
strously mhsused. Death claims can unquestionably be paid, but
holders Of ten, fifteen and twenty-year policies will not, when those
policies mature, receive anywhere near the amount they were led
to believe they would get, although the technically guaranteed pay
ments will probably be made.
Sensible poicyholders will retain their policies and make the
best terms possible with the companies. 1t is probable that when
the Armstrong committee concludes its investigation of the Mutual,
the New York Life and the Equitable, it will extend its inquiry into
the affairs and management OF some other companies and it is a
safe assumption that McCaIls, McCurdys, Alexanders and Hydes
will not be found difuscd throughout the whole life insurance bust
ness or through any very large part of it.
From New York comes the information that the directors of
the New York Life have refused to remove President Mccall from
office, and that McCurdy OF the Mutual declares he has no intention
OF resignng and adds that even were the directors so disposed they
cannot remove him before the expiration OF his term in June next.
But whether these big companies are solvent or not they cannot
possibly regain public confidence while their present heads remain
in power. 1t should be the aim of every ~poicyholder in the COM
panes now under fire to keep in good standing that hereafter he
may be able to exert some influence n the management of their
affairs.

CAN OPEN
new CANAL
BY 1915

Washington. oct. 2.-The Isthmian
Canal Commission today made public a
letter written by Isham Randolph. a mem
Der OF the Board of Consulting Engineers
OF the Panam Canal. TO Zina r.. Carter.
president OF the sanitary district Of Chi
eago, which ambodies the views OF Mr..
Randolph concerning ANAL matters.
lie has recently returned from a visit to
Panama with other member OF the board
and his opinions are interesting and in
view OF the publication OF the letter by
the commission may Ice considered semi
official. In his letter Mr.. Randolph says:
what we know is that IL can be done:
that Americans can do It; that In as short
a time as so stupendous an undertaking
can be put through. We do know that
almost limltless resources await the de-
mand OF the builders. hat the builders
represent tho highest grade of American
engineering talent, led on by a man whose
record Of accomplishment IL but the earn
est OF the things that he shall do.
Hence We may reasonably look for the
passage OF the great ocean freighters
from the Caribbean TO the Pacific before
our calendars are headed 1916. How much
before, this deponcnt sayeth not. This is
no easy triumph for the builders. who
must contend with and overcome difficult
ties not encountered In our temperate
zone.
First, there are climatic difficulties,
which, my investiga tons force me 10 be-
lieve. have been magnified. exaggerated.
The question OF proper housing has been
"a problem, but It's solution Is progressing

which must come from the states.
The French left behind them some 250O
buildings, little ~ big, which are being
made habitablc. But many more must
be- built 20 house the thousands who's
labors are required TO accomplish the
work.
When the equipment is on hand and
the organization completed. at least "A, 900
mon will be required In the various de-
partments Of Industry. The source OF
supply for labor so far has been Jamica.
The efficiency Of this labor is low, as
low as y per cent taking an average
laborer In our latitude as the unit. This
Is due In part to the fact that tho sup
ply Is not near equal TO the demand. and
an Independence Is thereby induced which
tends 10 worthlessness.

WHAT THE POLICY HOLDER SHOULD DO.

There come from New York reports that many holders OF life
Insurance policies are refusing 20 pay further premiums on account
OF recent revelations OF c~rookedness and chicanerv in several OF the
large companies. Such refusal to pay premiums is the height Of
folly. To stop payment before making some arrangement with the
company would cause the policy TO lapse and thc insured would lose
every cent he had paid to the company Further than that il wou~
increase the amount Of funds at the mercy OF the crooks in insurance

There Is ground for the assertion that the majority Of insurance
companies are managed honestly and economically and that even
the big companies that have been soandalously looted by their own
Officers are solvent still. But something more han the assurance
