9th of April, 1865. The proposed
monument is to be unveiled on the
9th of next April.
The Senate has passed a bill to
prohibit any one from selling or Civ
ing away morphine, opium or CO.
calne excert upon a physicians pre-
scription. The intention or purpose
of this bill is commendable, being
for the protection of persons affiict-
ed with the morphine habit, but at
the same time it compels a person
needing morphine to pay a doctor for
a prescription, and a prescription
must be rewritten every time an or
der is refilled.
The bill before the Legislature pro-
viding for the Soldiers Home will
increase the appropriation so that
$50 veterans can be cared for.

gested by the directors of the peni-

1t is probable the Legislature will
pass a bill increasing the salaries of
Supreme and Superior Court judges,
but the increase will likely be small.
The judges now get $3.50 a year
$4,000 being the regular salary and
an allowance of $3.50 for travelling
expenses. The salary will probably
be made even $4,000, with no other
allowance, this being an increase of
$3.50 per year.
The bill to erect a statute to Gen.
Ransom in the Capitol Square has
been reported favorably.
A bill has passed the Senate and
will probably pass the House apply
ing the Watts act to Morehead and
this is expected to eliminate the bar
room at the Atlantic Hotel. Another
bill would prohibit the manufacture
and sale of liquor in towns having
less than 200 qualified voters, this ap-
plying to Williams and Shore, incor-
porated for political reasons in 1908.
The House Committee on Consti-
tutional Amendments has reported

tutional Amendment as follows:

THE INSURANCE QUESTION.

The insurance magnates seem TO
be inconsistent President McCurdy,
of the Mutual Life. does not consider
life insurance intended for invest
ment, but as protection. II he
wanted TO sell you policy, however,
he would probably take the opposite
position, ella ming that insurance was
o paying investment whichever way
you Tool. a. il.
President McCurdy advanced the
theory that the Mutual company and
all other life Insurance companies of
the same character are primarily
philanthropic enterprises. The opin-
ion prevailing that they are money
making Institutions, even for the pol
ley holders, is erroneous, He re-
CARDS himself as charged primarily
with the duty of extending insurance,
although ii may be extended at the
expense of the pr sent policy hold
ers. Mr.. McCurdy based his defense
Of the Mutuars large expenses in OBJ
tanning new business in part on this
theory.
"Life insurance" he said, sis an
obligation every man ought to IN
derstand because he Is participating
In a movement for the benefit of hu-

WHY?

Why this sudden hostility on part
of Mayor Yeiser and the administra-
ton towards the old telephone COM
pany? Why did the mayor wait
twelve or fifteen years to become so
worked up because the company had
no franchise? Why did he sit in his
Office for three weeks recently and
watch the company tear up the
streets opposite the city hall without
saying a word, and when il had fin
ished, make a grand stand play in a
public board meeting and accuse the
company of "defying' the city, when
as a matter of fact, the company had
a permit 10 tear up the street and al
ley, and il the city officials who is
sued the permit had no authority to
do so. tbs company had no means of
knowing it?
Why try to ''oust. 'harass or rob a
public enterprise thar 5000 people
are paying for telephone service and
depend on for telephone service?
Have these 5000 people no rights or

and using a thing so essential and
important as the telephone has be

The agitation and revelations in
The business however. are doing a
world of good The St. Louis Globe
Democrat says of the situation'
"That the lfe insurance dlsclos-
ures Of the present year will eventu-
ally result in putting the business on
better basis for policy holders is
practically certain. Certain abuses
have been shown. proving that the
business can be conducted on terms
more favorable for the hundreds OF
thousands of persons whose lives are
insured, and It is reasonable to be-
lieve that such will be the outcome.
Life insurance itself is not in bad
odor. 1t towers now, as always. as
one of the most beneficent institu-
tons of mankind. Certain details
of management have besn found to
be unsatisfactory, and the remedies
will be applied beyond doubt. The
profits of life insurance are larger
than has been supposed, and in some
cases have been misapplied. But ir
the end policy holders will get their
due.
''Varions notifications are suggest
ed in making insurance investments
and carrying on the business general
ly Some of the ideas may be sound
but the first thing TO be done is to
secure new officials where any vio-
lation of duty Is d discovered, or where
there is any form of extravaganza
that is turned TO individual advant-
age. Salaries. and perhaps some 9th.
er things, have been on too magnifi
cent a scale. A policy of intelligen.
economy, full publicity and rigid hon
esty will clear away existing troubles
When that is accomplished life in
sprance will be to the world one of
its surest boons, and TO society o
safeguard of the highest value. The
good it has done in the past is inssti
mable. and it's future will reach rev
levels of usefulness"
