RHODES ON AGENTS. ETHICS
roo MUCH IGNORANT ENERGY

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, October 24.-The second
days session of the annual convention of
the National Association of Underwriters
was opened with an address by Mr.. E. E.
Rhodes of Newark. N. j., on the topic,
Problems Of Insurance Law" Mr.. Rhodes
said:
Life insurance, as a business finds its
justification in that it meets, nothing
else yet devised does, universal need The
complexity of modern life, which makes
one member of a family the producer for
all, and, consequently, the mainstay of all,
is responsible for the introduction and de-
veopment of the business. This same COM
pleXity, ever increasing, will also require,
until some better scheme is found for ac-
complishing the same purpose, the continu-
ance of the institution. Life insurance will
endure, and because of its necessity and it's
intrinsic value will find it's scope constantly
expanding. Like all other agencies for
good it has been abused by those who have
been charged with it's development and
conservation
The coming years will bring changes in
the conduct of our business, but l am salts
fled that the future has opportunities for
achievement in our chosen work which the
past could not offer. and If we who here
shall resolve to stand for the best, we shall
hereafter, if not now, be glad that 1t was
given to us to help restore to the people
in its integrity one of the greatest eco
nollic forces the world has seen. The new
order means, l take it, that the business
is to be divorced of all that has been graft
ed upon it, to its detriment, that there
shall be no appeals to mems selfishness
through opportunities to gain at the ex-
pense of others, that the whole emphasis
will be laid upon the idea of protection.
and that the rivalry of the future will be
to furnish the best possible insurance at
the lowest possible cost. AS you shall ap-
ply yourselves to this problem l beg you
to remember those words of Emerson that
they only who build on ideas build for
eternity

District Provides Remedy.

The much-complained-of condition exist
ing on lot at the corner of 33d street and
Dent place northwest, which, according to
the protesting citizens in that vicinity, is
used as a dumping ground for all the filth
and refuse in the neighborhood, is to be
remedied by the District. Health Officer
Woodward to whom the matter was re-
ferred, reported to the Commissioners to-
day that one of his inspectors visited the
scene and found the conditions bad enough
to warrant immediate action on the part
of the health officials, and after the refuse
complained of has been removed he will
have the lot kept under strict observation
in the future to prevent further trouble.
