Policy Holders First.

In the course of his annual ad-
dress, President Scovel. Pittsburg
manager of the Provident Savings
Life of New York, expressed the fol-
lowing views:
Among all the departments of this
epoch-making year, none is of deeper
significance for the future of life in
surance than the growing realization
of the true status and function of
the agent ] do not believe that the
future historian, as he makes cup the
record of this worldwide, wonder
working institution. will spend much
time on many matters that have been
most conspicuous in current news
paper headlines. He will be more
likely to emphasize the fact that it
was through certain temporary agi-
tations in the years 1905 and 1906
that the full status of the agent be
gan to be generally recognized And
the historian will dwell upon the re
sulting improvement in the personnel
and morale of the agency force and
its increasing influence in the devel-
opment of the whole institution.
LAS a matter of fact there are just
three essential elements in life in.
suT2nce, the agent, the management.
and the policy holder. The policy
holder comes first in Importance be-
cause he and his dependents form the
objective point of the whole operation.
In the very statement, one sees that
the term policy holder must include,
not merely those already in, but also
the larger number yet TO be brought
in. Future policy holders no less than
present ones, form the objective point
particularly when the subject is
viewed in the interest of the whole
public. TO say nothing Of the genera
tons 10 come 1t is the agents func-
ton that is peculiarly directed to
serve this main public interest. Only
through his work will the future pol
icy holders be brought in and their
dependents be given needed protection
against poorhouse, prison or brothel.
! And this means protection not only
for themselves. but for society. Only
by encouraging the agent can so
ciety thus protect itself II has al
ways been exceedingly difficult to
I bring desirable recruits into our agen-
CIV forces-which fact alone proves
that they have not been oyerpaid. And
any law thar tends to make the
agents career still less attractive is
to that extent directly against public
interest. As long as human nature
remains the same. life insurance com
panies without agents win DO no more
to protect society than the few. small
religious sects without preachers viii
do towards evangelizing the world"

PRISONERS SECRET LETTERS.
How Baltimore Inmates Commune ated
With Frien.ds Outside.

A most important discovery was
recently made by Warde Hook, Of
the Baltimore city Jail, IN the fact
that letters written by the aid o.:
an invisible process have been
leaving the institution and that the
writings were Of the mosL private
nature. Some eight or nine months
ago. there was a prisoner At the Jail
who served a siXty-day sentence on
a false pretenSe charge, AMI it was
this prisoner. the warden has since
learned, who Introduced the scheme
to other prisoners.
The man confided his scheme 10
a select number Of 9th n prisoners $.
and one of the letters written By
this same progress got into the hands
Of the warden. who Sool learned all
about it. Prisoners are allowed to
send one letter a week from the in
Stitution, but every letter that goes
from the jail is either read tv :hp
