FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20.
Possibilities of Union.

The appeal of the NEWS yester-
day for the two Amboys to get to-
gether has been favorably received
in many quarters, but words of APP
prevail alone will not accomplish a
great deal. 1t is up to the Amboys
to get together and, as one man put
it, .'control the county"
1t is wonderful to think of the pos
sibilities that would be the direct re-
suit of a. closer understanding be-
tween this city and the borough
across the river, not only in county
affairs, but in the general improve
ment of the harbor and the develop
ment of the valuable lands in this
section of the state. AS far as the
county is concerned it is possible for
the Amboys to get practically any
thing they want by simply working
in harmony, and why not? Both
cities are side by side at the mouth
cseke Raritan river, one on one Side
S Whspe on the other. What lagisla-
tfesl' Of value to one is @'~value tc
the oter. then why not unite and
secure haplcgislature? New Bruins
wicb. realizes what would happen ii
the two Amboys should form a com
bihation and she is doing all she car
to divert the attention of the Dor
ough away from Perth. The time is
coming, however, when this will nc
longer be possible and the compile.
ton of the county bridge is going tc
be a great factor in bringing them
close at hand.

Golfers September 80:
A reaction is certainly taking place
in favor of the smaller insurance COM
%panies, though to what extent can not
yet he told. Years ago the dangers of
unlimited size were pointed. In q
paper by an a~ctuary read at the con-
v~ention of Insurance Commissioners
of 1892, for example. it was argued
that the largest companies might
grow to such vast size that their as
sets and affairs could not be perfectly
managed by their officers, supervised
by their directors, and examined by
state insurance officials. And he,
like other prophets, pointed out also
the moral temptation. increasing with
the size. Mr.. Hughes, pressing an
officer of one big company about syn
dictate operations, received the reply
that they were necessary in order to
handle sossmuch business, To the par
aphrase of Mr.. Hughes, that the in-<
surance companies fight for an amount
of business that will force them to Hs.
regard the law, there was, as Mere
could be, no adequate reply. <These
big companies have come to be indif-
ferent to the permanence 81 the bust,
ness written. The public has been
naturally hypnotized by figures. The
statement of an agent that his com
pany has hundreds of millions in as
sets stops criticism, for "a billion of
assets in force" must impress the un-
informed Imagination. The policy
holde4' can hardly be expected to
know that under the law of legal re-
serve each thousand dollars of insur-
ance in force is protected by its re-
serve, and that therefore a company
with $40, 600, 900 of insurance in force,
and a reasonable surplus, is as sound
rs one with many times that volume.
The principles of life insurance, how
ever, will, at the end of the present
upheaval, be better understood by the
public than they ever were before.
A limitation of the amount of insur-
ance permitted to n company is like
ly to be among the many legal meas
ures taken TO keep this vast and nee
essary business from becoming dam
gerous to the policy holders, to other
lines of enterprise, and to the COM
munity.
Asbury Park Press:
There were more than 4, 200 prom

attractions that may tend to prolong
the season. We believe that Asbury

G. W. Perkins Defies Legislative
Examiner Hints at Federal
Supervision.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Geofge w
Perkins, partner Of J. Z. Morgan 4
Co. and vice president of the New
York Life Insurance company dehed
the legislative insurance committee
when he declared he would not pro.
duce a certain book belonging to j. r..
Morgan d Co.
He had testified that there was a
memorandum of the famous naviga-
tion bond transaction in 1903 between
Perkins and Perkins whereby $S00,000.
worth OF securities We're kept out of
the New York LIES report to the state
superintendent of insurance.
you will Please produce that book,
Mr.. Perkins" said Attorney Hughes.
You have a copy of that memoran-
dun. Mr.. Hughes" snapped the young
%financler.
You will bring that book here" de-
clared the attorney.
"Ill bring a copy of the memoran-
dum.'
81 shall have to demand the produc-
tion of that book" And Hughes glow
cred angrily.
"You are talking about j. u. Morgan
& Co. now. Wen take this matter up
later"
The passage at arms ended with a
warning by Mr.. Hughes that the book
would have to be produced.
In the course of his testimony Mr..
Perkins, questioned about the differ
ence in the statement of profits from
securities in the Massachusetts report
of the company and of met profits
from securities in the New York re-
port, said:
"When we get national supervision
we won't have these conflicts between
the different states.'
Mr.. Perkins also testified to q num-
her of transactions in which he repre-
scented Morgan Il Co. as seller and the
New York Life Insurance company as
the purchaser.
Another sensation was sprung later
when Vice President Thomas A. Buck
company detailed the advances made
to agents and which We're carried in
the report to the state superintendent
of insurance as committing renewal
premiums" 1t was brought out as a
matter of fact that these advances
were loans, but were not carried as
such. Mr., Buckner testified that adj
vances We're made to agents sometimes
as inducements to leave other compa-
mics and enter the employ of the New
York Life.
A situation Of conflict in Buffalo in
1901 between the Equitable and the
New York Life was brought out. and
in order to get agents of the Equitable
away from that company liberal adj
vances and liberal contracts were
made by the New York Life. Mr..
Buckner testified that these advances
to agents in the Buffalo branch of the
New York Life in 1902 alone exceeded
by $4,000 the amount really earned by
these agents. Later Mr.. Buckner ac-
knowledged this was most e~Xtravagant
and said in 1903 this was cut down by
half and by still another half in 1904.

Monmouth county republicans
have brought down the wrath of the
state press upon them by nominating
G. Asa Francis for sheriff. Mr.. Fran
els, while in the state legislature,
did not have a very clear record and
his term as mayor of Long Branch
has been even worse, if possible. A
man cannot get such a name as Mr..
Francis has throughout the state
without there being good grounds
for it and, for that reason, it seems
advisable for all those in Monmouth
county who respect law and order, to
vote for Close, the democratic can
didate. The sheriff's Office is too i'm
portant a position to have filled by a
man with a record like that of Mr..
Francis.

The Democrats New Leader.

A new democratic leader arises in
Perth Amboy with the recent harm
ony meetings which have been held
here. He is none other than
Lawyer Joseph Stricken, who seems
to have been able to bring order out
of chaos. Mr.. Stricken has had the
good fortune not to become mixed
up in either the Convery-Seaman or
Gannon-White factions and is there
fore the better able to step forward
in the hour of need and pour oil on
the waters.
For some time Mr.. Stricken has
been a close friend of George Silzer,
the democratic county chairman, and
he has been training in politics for
just such work as he seems to have
accomplished. The completeness of
the union of all factions shows his
mastery hand and in looking to him
as a leader the local democracy does
we'll. Mr.. Stricken is a born fighter
and puts a powerful amount of en-
ergy in everything he undertakes.
That the present campaign will be
no exception goes without saying.
