Equitablef Tn no other country is life insurance conducted at extortionate rates.
 The entire truth will not be disclosed until District Attorney Jerome indicts the men responsible for the various acts recited in Superintendent Hen dricks' report. and as he is man who has never yet baked before a duty, the policy holders are in fair way to know just who wasted their money. There is a prevailing impression in high insurance circles that policy hold CTS are like lambs in Wall street-they exist to be plucked, but the tide has turned, and the policy holder is in a way to recover some of his money Wisconsin has just passed law re- curing every company doing business in that state to divide once in five years all moneys due policy holders. New York needs such law, and so does Alabama.

Up to inc Grand Jury.

The Equitable scandals have practi- cally been advanced from the investi- gatlon and rumor stage to the judicial stage, and they are now in the hands of Attorney General Mayer and District Attorney Jerome. The reports of Messrs. Mayer and Jerome will appear in the form of indictments, and the trials of the indicted will be pretty sure to uncover all gratis, big and lit tie, with which the society had become afflicted.
 The shaking up which the Equitable has received will prove salutary. The policy holders were being fieeced in every possible manner. The profits were so large the rascalities did and could not affect the solvency of the company. This. however. has caused policy holders to ask, Is it good policy to go on paying in two dollars to get one in order that such things should go on as have been disclosed in the

Sea Power All Essential.

Now and then a war is fought out quickly between two countries that be against each other, and sea power does not become controlling-fo example, the war between France and Germany, but in our war with Spain, and in the war in the Far East sea power was alone decisive. Ex-Secretary Paul Nor ton recently said
 "All serious differences which the Uni- ted States may have herearter with for eign countries will be settled either by arbitration or by battleships. Most great modern wars have been settled by navies. Even in the civil war in America the blockading of the southern ports by the Union navy, which prevented the people 1 of the south from exchanging their cot ton and other products for munitions or war, was as important factor in giving I the north it's final victory. More and more | 1t is demonstrated by the Spanish-Ameri- can war and the war between Japan and Russia that the power which controls the sea measures the power which will control the earth"
 The United States is isolated. Wide seas separate it from other powerful countries, and no doubt sea power will continue to be an al-important factor, the possession of which will render us practically secure from attack. It may not be necessary to have the greatest navy in the world, but it is no doubt wise to have fleets that can fight on equal terms near at home any fleet of any other nation. For sea power to that extent means that no other power, England alone excepted. will come three thousand miles to fight us on empty bunkers.
 This country will not order built a Hobson navy perhaps, but public senti- ment very plainly favors a navy that is constantly becoming stronger. We need a navy strong enough to give us ample sea power all along our coast and in the West Indies, and at Panama, and even in all the Americas to the south of us Possibly sea power to that dimension will be ours when all ships that have been authorized are built, but so long as other nations are constantly building more ships it seems to be our duty and our interest to fol low in their footsteps.
