Judgment such thing will be impossible after the
present investigation is concluded
When asked If he thought that one result would
be the placing of insurance on a cheaper basis Mr.
Morton replied:
| hardly think so. The people do not want cheap
insurance but they do want safe insurance. MY
observation has been that cheap insurance is never
safe insurance. Insurance has come to be an
acknowledged investment, one in which man
does not have to wait for death before anybody
can obtain any good from it. Being legitimate
and good investment and being recognizable as
such. the public has a right to demand that 1t be
safe.
My belief is that the present agitation is gong
bring about Just that reSuit-the guarantee OF a
safe Investment in insurance. Hereafter men who
run insurance companies will noy dare to do any
thing that will make investment in their COM
panes other than safe. for fear of exposure and
condemnation by the public

IN WINS FORECAST.
Republican Managers Expect to Poll
Total of 9{5 900 Votes.

The following forecast OF the result of the
election was handed out at the headquarters of
Mr.. WINS last night:
The registration this year was 6470S9. De-
quoting from this the normal proportion of reg
istraton not voting and the scattering vote be-
longing to the Socialists. Prohibitionists, etc.
ihe total vete for Ivins, Hearst and Mcclellan
is estimated at 5SS,S5l.
The most recent vote which can be taken as
a safe basis for comparison is the vote for
Governor in 1902. The Republican candidate
tered vote in New-York losing the city by
122,Oe0, the largest adverse plurality ever en-
countered by Republican candidate in New
York City There was large detection that
year of normally Republican votes. The "a per
cent which remained undoubtedly represents the
low water mark of the Republican vote in New
York
Estimating upon this basis Mr.. WINS will
have 22om0 Republican votes alone. The
charge that he is not receiving loyal and ener-
getic support from the Republican organiza ton
is absolutely without foundation. 1t is one of
this time. In addition to 30 900 Repubfican
votes. Mr.. WINS viii receive less than % 600
$4,000 'O'9'' ii'''f>'i's MS 'O'"' a ie'''
This will leave 343. .S31 votes to be divided be-
tween Mcclellan and Hearst Whether McCleI-
Ian or Hearst will get the larger proportion of
this is a matter of speculation, but there is not
the slightest doubt that the Tammany Hall vote
has been split in half by Hearst
vote for Mcclellan in order to head off
Hearst would be the rankest folly for Nc
Ciellan's normal support has been practically
disntesrated by Hearst. Mcclellan is already
defeated: WINS, on the contrary. has the solid
vote of 22OO00 Republicans and at least $4,000
independents behind him, and if the Tammany
vote not only has been split in half but has
so far gone over to Hearst that there is
danger, however remote, of eecting him. the
only safe way for Democrats. independents
and independent Republicans who distrust
Hearst and fear his policies. will be to vote for
WINS. To vote for Mcclellan in order to defeat
such vote counted at all it would bring Hearst
nearer election.

Mr.. E. de selincourt is responsible for the
ceived THE Poems Of John Keats" Dodd Mead
& Co), about as satisfactory edition of the
poet as could be desired. He is, like most of his
fellow commentators, great believer in the
document, and goes the text though with
a microscope; but he avoids alike the ped1ntry
and the .impertinence too often INDUCED in
where the overhauling of a dead masters work
is concerned. His introduction is long one. but
not too long. since it is devoted to the judicious
saying of relevant things. 1t contains some es-
pecially happy remarks on what Keats owed to
others, to Spenser and to Shakespeare. to Hunt
and to Wordsworth. In his notes Mr. de Selin-
court shows the same discretion, and in these. as
in the introduction. he is not only useful but in
teresting. His appendices contain much welcome
matter notably a penetrating essay on the
sources OF Keats's poetic vocabulary; to this
glossary Is wisely affixed. There is an index OF
titles and first lines which gives also references
to the notes. and. finally. there is full general
index For frontispiec. the editor has repro
duoed in a fine photogravure the mask of Keats,
taken during life portrait of profound interest
The book is bound In wine-red cloth. with
paper label which is to say that. outside as well
as inside, it is model of good taste. For tech
nicaI study, MI Buxton Forman's edition Will
continue to be Indispensable but Mr.. de Selin-
court adds much 10 what his predecessor has
done IN the documentary analysis of Keats. and.
besides, he has put his book together in such
shape that the general reader. quite as much
the specialist, is bound to receive it with appre
citation.
