Roads and Distances IN Missouri

The plan to revive in Missouri the old
fashioned guide posts At tire intersection
Of country roads will serve to recall 10
every traveller along those reads, ara
particularly to every farr,er, how Io,rg
the miles were that were indicated on
those serviceable boards. Unfortunate.
Iy in most counties and neighbori,oods,
the miles are as long now as they were in
the old days, for it is not the air Ere
represented which makes road long or
short, but the condition of the road
itself.
And there you get down 20 fac,
which has played a highly Important
negative part in the development Of M-
state. When q guide post proclaimed
that 1t was 'seven miles to Stringtown, -
the legend gave no idea Of the real DIS
tance measured in time and the wear ard
tear Oh horses aud wagons. Those
seven miles might Ike a great deal longer
than twenty or thirty miles on + good
rock road. Indeed, muddy, i'll drained,
rut infested roads have made ever so
many villages and farms IN Missouri
more remote from the world Of markets
and OF ideas than II it had been possible
to set them back in point Of time for hal (
a century.
Now. II is this isolation and this dam
aging deprivation Of ready fnarke.s
which tire good roa.ls movement Is
designed to overcome. To shofsen the
distances noted on the old guide posts is

state has led all others in tic number a

infinitely more concern to the people
that the markets which these railrOas y
provide should he brought within es.y

The above facts are authenticated by a
letter left by Roy to his parents, written
just previous to his tragic death, wherein
he expressed the burdens of his mind,
and rehearsed the psngs he felt bodily in
his present condition. His suffering. it
was made plain, had increased until life,
no matter how sweet, gave little hope,
and finally his suffering became unbear-
able, and with evident feeling that he
could rest his cause in the hands Of his
Creator to be Judged by Him alone, he
promptly and suddenly closed the drama
of life. Whether the conditions were
made better or worse, is not Tor mortal
to pass upon.

REV. san JONES DEAD.

Sam Jones, the noted evangelist,
OF Cartersville, Ga, is dead. He, in
company with his wife and family,
was on his way home from Oklahoma
City, Okla, to attend family re-
union and to celebrate his 9th birth
day anniversary. He occupied a
berth in a sleeper. Shortly before
daybreak he arose complaining OF a
pain in the stomach. He died about
8 O'Clock Monday morning, near Per.
ry, Ark, his family and Rev. Hol.
comb, his colaborer, being with him.
The body was shipped to Cartersviiis
for interment.

religious enthusiasm, and no minister

the monument he leaves behind him

ages to come. Other theologians

than he could bear, and fully appre.
ciating his surroundings, and the deter

the care Of son whose memory had be.

cause that impelled him to commit so
rash an act.
We wish further to state, that we sug-

family, whose grief at the untimely death
of son and brother. was all that they

ROY nooRE'S TRAGIC DEATH.
Suffering In Body end Mind He
Cleaned Prompt Relief BY hls
Own Hsnd..Ststement Of
Attending Physicians.

Last Thursday morning as the Re-
publican was being mailed, we were
apprised of the sudden death Of Roy
Salmon Moore, oldest son Of W. w.
Moore, president Of the First National
Bank Of this city, the causes being as
enumerated in the statement made
below by the physicians.
Deceased had retired the previous
night at their home in Westlawn
apparently in his usual good health,
but in the morning when his mother
called him no response came and she
went to his room, where she found
him lying on his back, with death
written on his brow, the death angel
evidently had silently preceded her
several hours before. The other
members Of the family were hastily
summoned, only to realize that the
spirit of their beloved son and brother
had been separated from all that was
earthly. The sad intelligence was
soon made known to our entire peo-
pie, and the sudden sorrow and gloom
which enshrouded this home was
shared in every household.
Roy's age was % years, 6 months
and II days. He was an exemplary
young man whose character was of
the highest standard and whose abil-
tiles and intelligence gave promise of
brilliant future. He was, up to his
death, holding clerical position
under his father in the bank, and was
pointed to as model young man by
every patron of that institution.
Less than year ago he professed
religion and identified himself with
the NJ. T.. church, and true to his
principles, lived the christian every
day, caring but little for those worldly
charms which lead away from the
narrow path and loom up as thorn
to prick the ambition of the godly.
His christian demeanor spoke his
life better by far than words can de-
pict. He has gone to his reward.
The funeral was held Saturday af-
noon, Rev. S. W. Emery, pastor of
the Methodist church, paying high
tribute to bis worthy subject at the
home, Rev. c. J. Polston assisting in
the ceremonies, then the remains were
conveyed to the city cemetery and laid
to rest, in the presence of large
concourse of friends, both old and
young, aside from the immediate rela-
tives, who had known deceased from
infancy as beloved and respected
character. The family and relatives
have the deep sympathy Of a sorrow
stricken community in this hour when
their cup OF affection is over-filled.

Three prisoners awaiting trial in
the criminal court broke Jail at Seda-
liza Sunday night. Their names are
Thomas Lee, charged with burglary {;
George Graves, attempted assault,
and Henry Payne, grand larceny.
The prisoners were in the Pettis coun-
ty Jail and made their escape by saw
ing off the bars OF an outside window
of the bathroom in the west end of
the Jail. Other prisoners gave the
alarm, but not until the three had
made their "get-away." The fugi-
tives are still at large.

The Standard Life Insurance Policy.

 invested at three and a half per cent. compound interest would amount to over $2,OO0 in that length of time; and Sl.OOO.oO, the amount really due, would amount to over $2,SO0.O0
 Now compare the actual results un- der this policy with those of another policy issued by another company which charges a man 35 years of age Twenty annual Payments of $3770 for a policy of $1,000.00 which will mature as an Endowment Policy in thirty years, or when he is 65 years of age. If he lives twenty years, he will pay just $7540O less some reduction by dividend, At the end of 20 years when he has fin- ished all his payments on his policy, the Legal Reserve on it will be just $7S5.O5, which is $125.13 more than the legal re- serve on the Twenty Payment Life Policy although the annual pre- miums were more on that than sn thisl Ten years later, he will be 65 years of age; the real insurance under this pol icy will vanish, and the Legal Reserve will exactly equal the face of the poli- cy, and the insured will receive 1t, and do as he pleases with it. If he puts 1t in Savings Bank, he will have 1t any year plus the accrued interest.
 The attained results under this policy prove beyond the possibility of denial that $S7.70 paid to an insurance compa- ny annually for twenty years is more than sufficient to meet the cost of the annual risks of dying from age S5 to age 65, and at the same time provide a reserve, or sinking fund of $1,00O.0O with which to redeem the contract. Why then was not that done by the other company which issued the Twen- ty Payment Life Policy, and for which it charged SSS.34? How is this remark able difference to be accounted for? It is accounted for fully by the element of time. The first company issues practi- cally a Sixty year endowment, hence it must make provision for meeting the annual risk of dying for that number of years and 1t does it. The second company issues practically thirty year endowment, and provides for the risk of dying only for thirty years, and while the risk of dying is less than one- half as great as it is during the second thirty years. Herein lies the secret of the whole matter The cost of carrying the risk of dying is about five times as much at age 65 as it is at age 25, but it is two and three-tenths times as much at 75 as it is at 65, and five and One-half times as much at S5 as it is at 65, and eleven and three-tenths times as much at 90 as it is at 65; and the Twenty Payment Life Policy has to provide the cash in advance to cover these tremendous risks. But of what earthly use is it to cover them? We have seen that the policy would have matured for it's full face value at age 65 if the company had tot taken the money and used it in foolishly paying, not for the loss of anything of real industrial value, but simply for the abstract risk which it has agreed to carry on the life of an old gentleman who has long since outlived his usefulness, so far as salary or wages are concerned. The Twenty ! Payment Life Policy, therefore, is the

least desirable of all poljcies so sor aa the msured7is concerned but 1t is a bonanza for the agents and the insur- ance off1cials, for 1t provides them with an opportunity to pick commissions for the longest period possible If the peo- pie were wise, and really understood thls matter they would never carry a cent or insurance on their lives after they have reached the ages of from 65 to 7O for after that they really have nn insurance at all, but are deluding them selves and wasting their Reserves. It IS strange that the men at Albany cannot see this, and suggest a wiser policy for Standard, and in that Standard they should certainly make clear and positive provision for a square deal for each and every man who takes out a policy of insurance on ms lie. 1t does not do so in the policy herein referred to- and with very few notable exceptions, our insurance com panles are not dealing fairly with very large class of their patrons, viz. those who suffer their policies to apse, and those who take out paid up poll cies. It is well known that a very large number of insured men suffer their policies to lapse after paying one or two annual premiums; all these, ex- eept in a very few companies, forfeit their reserves, and will continue to do so under the provisions of the proposed Standard Policy, for only those who have paid three or more annual premi- ums are entitled to paid up policies. This is not fair; 1t is not honest, and all the legislators of the world cannot make it honest. If the insured in any case has paid two full annual preml- ums on his policy, he is justly entitled to paid up policy for the full value of his Legal Reserve and he should not be cheated out of 1t by any statutory provisions, or by any administrative sharp practice as is often the case at the present time.
 The experience of a few companies honestly organized, and honorably ad- ministered, proves beyond question that every company can afford to issue a paid up policy in exchange for every lapse policy on winch two full annual premiums nave been paid on its being returned, no matter when it is re- turned, whether in six months, or in six years.
 Furthermore, the present practice of insurance companies does not, except in a very few cases, afford a square deal to the holders of paid up policies, for in nine cases out. of every ten they are given only on-partieipating policies in exchange for their lapsed or surren- dered policies. This is wrong, wholly wrong. Every company doing business on what is known as the Mutual Plan should be compelled by law to issue a paid up policy in exchange for every lapsed policy, and every such policy should be a participating policy, enti- tied to share in the dividends on a par with every other policy.
