up as leaders of the worlds thought, as fore
most in the labors of love and in the estab-

our national pretenses are not inconsistent
with our individual life. We must make
it known that while our statesmen are

order among all who would destroy it. When

force in all its forms, the men of tomorrow
will not gather at the ringside to give en-
enlargement to lawlessness When the chill
dren are taught that love must rule in the
hearts of men, love will rule in the councils

In the crash Of great regulations and the
sufferings before death of financiers who
seemingly dreaded no pangs after 1t, the real
victim must not be overlooked. He is the
outraged policyholder-the ordinary citizen
who has seen, or thought he has seen, the
security upon which he had counted for his
own old age, or for provision for those dear
est to him, shattered and dashed to the earth.
To restore his confidence; to put the insur-
ance of human life again upon a demonstrably
sound basis: to enlarge and fortify the rights
and guarantees of the insured; to make such
playing fast and loose with trust funds as
we have had disclosed to lis wholly impossible
In the future-that is the great task of rem
edial and constructive legislation. If it is
not taken up in the most serious spirit, and
discharged. with the largest and most dis
interested ability, all the blackening of whited

sown broadcast, will have gone for nothing

FEDERAL CONTROL OF INSURANCE

AS result of the insurance revelations q
ystem of federal control is advocated by many
others foresee that in federal control there viii
,e serious danger il state control is in any way
lbrogated:
It is evident strong fight is to be made
in the next congress for federal control OF
insurance companies engaged in interstate
insurance business which already has been
urged by President Roosevelt. United States
Senator John F. Dryden of New Jersey presi-
dent of the Prudential Life Insurance COM
pany of Newark, the recognized leader OF
the movement for federal supervision, and
the author of bill framed with that end in
view is already in the field. He has adj
dressed circular letter to the principal
bankers, railroad men, capitalists, and finan-
ciers in New York and throughout the coun-
try asking for simple "yes" or mo" reply
to four questions In brief, these questions
concern their Endorsements of the presidents
suggestion, their personal opinions whether
the insurance business is national rather
than local interest whether they hold it to
be commerce an indispensable element OF
commerce in the sense in which this term is
used in every day language, and whether 1t
would be inexpedient or inadvlsable to in
crease the power of the federal government
to the extent implied in the regulation OF in
surance by congress- These are leading ques-
lS,a
considerable number of affirmative answers,
Senator Dryden will have weighty evidence
in favor of his measure and can make strong
fight for it, in the same circular letter he
states the most important benefits which he
expects would result from federal supervi-
sion. He believes that the security of policy
holders would be increased, the expense rate
needless taxation, clerical labor, and cost Of
insurance decreased; that fraudulent insur
ance companies would be stamped out and
that there would be adequate national protec-
tion for American companies transacting bust
ness in foreign countries.-Chicago Tribune.
If federal supervision of life insurance
companies were to be supplementary to state
supervision, there would at least be less
ground for objection than there is to the EVIL
dent purpose of leading life insurance graft
ers to make the supervision of the federal
government exclusive. We regret, therefore.
