Il is not my purpose TO discuss the advocacy Of
the States going into the fire insurance business,

fact that the State itself has received from these

tNoTE-In printing the figures showing the re-
cepts and losses of the fire insurance companies and
the balance in their favor, which, by the way
through error in adding totals was about $4,000
less than stated, no attempt was made to show
that this balance profit TO the companies, and
the publication was made with no intent TO mslead
but simply to tell the extent of the business in this
State. We pleased TO print the statement Of Mr.

Editor The SUN:
In your issue of March 81 1906, under heading
Startling Florida Figures" you print, among other
data, the receipts and losses in the State during
1905 by fire insurance companies, as follows:
Premiums received .$l,5779i5.Sl
Losses paid ..........,.... 669,94l.l5
and then you state the balance in favor of the com
panies $780,, 97466.
These figures incorrect according to the printed
statement issued by State Treasurer Knott) are as
misleading they are startling, and therefore
should not be allowed to stand when the true cond
ton of affairs is so easily obtanabe. To accept
your statement as it is, one would be mised as
badly if 1 were to determine your profits by de.
Quoting from your gross receipts only the cost OF
the paper upon which The Sun is printed. -.
You do not consider at all the fact that in addi'
tion to their losses the companies incur very large
expenses for commissions taxes etc. By reference
to the record of these companies that send you for
your information, it will be that the cost OF
doing business-that is, the fat expense, ercludng
losses will anywhere between 80 and 40 per cent

But this is not all. These companies have yet to

ceipts, or $3l $500 in addition to any unpaid in
Cured losses, which may be some $4,000 more And
1906 was an exceptionally good year.
Perhaps the best idea of the profits ~ Of the
fire insurance companies Florida business may
be obtained by consideration OF their actual expe
Renee in Florida for the last five years, which,
cording TO the reports Of the State Treasurer, is
"a follows: Premiums received, $6550,770.57;
losses 81 ,6O7, 70445; expenses, $2,45G,S3S.97.
II will be seen, therefore, that for the past five

Florida business $3,5l3,362.S5 more than they have
received. II all future years should be as good

Berlin.-The Rev. DR.. Kutter, Lutheran

MODERN ORDER OF SOCIETY ATTACKED.

Elements, robbed of their lands their fisheries, for
the sake of money?
christian society forces the small man to under
feed, to under-clothe, to live in inadequate quar-
ters. It despises him and derides manual labor as
unfit for the intellectual. 1t does this and thousand
more things equally un Christian equally inpolitc
and calls it the divine order of things propping
up the blasphemous assertion by religious and pho

ROOSEVELT UNAVAILABLE.

Theodore Roosevelt is out of the
presidential running, according to the
latest bulletin from his office. The dec
laration made by Secretary Loeb, to the
Peoria lady correspondent in this behalf,
has, without doubt the authority AMI
sanction Of the president. 1t, is in strict
accord with the character of the man
that he should hold honestly and stren-
uously to his early avowal in this rela-
tion. He has never deviated from that
original statement, and there has never
been much hope that he would. He is
not given to fiip-fap; and his expires.
sions on vital matters such as this may
be taken, once for all, as convictions to
be adhered to. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever, that between this and the day of
the national convention. something shall
have arisen that will make his accept
ance Of the nomination so imperative,
so indispensable, that even his high
sense of duty as a citizen shall be salts
fed. It is not the most comfortable
thought in the world. that a great party
has its limitations in the matter of
presidential timber, but such is the case
at present with the republican party.
There is not man before the people
who has the popular confidence in any
measure approaching this man; and it
may be necessary to go behind the ranks
of the official classes and pluck some
great, clean, competent man from the
retirement of quiet, cultured life and
compel his acceptance of the lordliest
gift at the hands of America; but Just
who this will be is as much mystery
as Mr.. Roosevelt's mavailability is
fact. There must be no laundering.
The man who succeeds Theodore Roose-
welt must tally close to his standards
as a man and an officer, or the party is
doomed to defeat.
