Rom the report Of the conn

From the report of the com
mittee which is now invests
eating the methods of life in
surance companies in New
York it is plain that the Equi-
table is not the only company
whose business was very irreg-
uIar. Most of the old line com
panies have been making false
statements, specializing in
stocks, making fictitious loans to
clerks, contributing to cam
palgu funds, etc. From this it
looks as though the Equitable
is no worse than the other
large companies. 1t was time
that a rigid examination of the
working of these companies
was held in order to disclose
their secretl workings.

The world again has reason
to rejoice that Sweden and
Norway has reached a friendly
agreement, and that a idissolu-
ton will be settled. With
such great national questions
being settled without bloodshed
reflects credit upon all concern
ed, and it is to be hoped that
the horror of warfare is now
a thing of the past and that
peace will reign throughout the
entire civilized world. In view
of this, let the representatives
OF all nations formulate plans
whereby a court of arbitration
can settle peacefully great
disputes which unavoidably
arise between governments
This indeed would be the great
est triumph ever achieved by
