LEADS ALL IN DrvIDRHDs.
UniOn Central Superiority as Shown
in Actual Rasults.

1t has been the policy Of the officers
Of The Union Central never to pub
lish anything which would tend to
show up the weak points Of . rival
company for the purpose Of advertise
ing The Union Central. 1t prefers to
have its record stand on its own
merits, and to have pOlicy-holders
feel that 1t is treating them with the
utmost fairness and are living up to-
It's contract to insure at reasonable
cost, without resorting to comparisons
for proof. But this is an age OF COM
petition. Merchants suffer because
competition is frequently too severe
and profits are forced down to SO low
q point that they are compelled to
combine in order to keep from cut
ting each others threats. Neverthe'
less, we could not do away with COM
petitions for it would afiord men oP'
portunity to show their selfish nature
and to make huge profits from help
less buyers.
There is no reason why insurance
companies should not engage IL fair
comparisons provided they make no
misleading statemente and confne
themselves strictly to the truth. How
can The Union Central substantiate
its claim Of being one Of the most
skilfully and economically managed
companies unless it has some measure
by which to prove itS statementsP In
this country today there are more
than ninety old line, legal-reserve
life insurance companies, large and
small, old and young. OF this num-
Der about thirty are Of long standing
and Of considerable size. To think
for q moment that they are oil OF
equal excellence is out Of the question.
OF students in school the marks Of
some average away up in the nineties
while others are barely above the
passing point. We are glad to be
able to assure the public that all the
standard life insurance companies, in
our opinion, are above the passing
point, Notwithstanding the fact that
in some cases ignorant persons fear
that because harsh criticism OF GER
tain methods Of doing business are
well deserved, the companies are
therefore ct the point Of failure. II a
company guarantees to insure . man
and to pay him $1,000 at the.end of
term Of years, ct the same time esti-
mating that instead Of $1,000 it will
give him 200. and Of the end Of the
time it pays him only Sl.1OO, 1t has
performed its obligation but it might
have done better than it did; it has
not failed, however.
OF the ninety or more companies in
this country, The Union Central
claims to come nearest to the 100
mark Of excellence. Its superiority |
is shown by the extremely low cost
Of insurance to its policy holders. !

Roosevelt May Be Mediator.

New York, March 31.-Repeated an
nouncements in regard to the proximi
ty of peace are confirmed, it is said, in
dispatch from Times correspondent
at st. Petersburg, by information from
what is called an unimpeachable
source, showing that Russia and ia
pan have selected President Roosevelt
as mediator, that negotiations are al
ready in progress and that the suspen-
sion of hostilities shortly may be ex-
pected.
After detailing reports as to the neg
ative conditions Of peace laid down by
Russia, and set forth recently in the
dispatches to the Associated Press, the
Times correspondent adds: The Sc
lection of President Roosevelt as me-
diator, which was due to Japanese in.
itiative, is regarded here as evidence
of excellent discrimination. The
japanese thereby secure firm friend,
who at the same time will make it a
point of honor to bring the negotia-
tions to a successful close and who,
therefore, would not be likely to have
accepted the difficult post of mediator
of japanese intended to present exor.
bitant demands.
