The Prudential Benefits New Jersey
People

The benefits which have come to Few
Jersey people through the fact that The
Prudential Insurance Company is a New
Jersey institution are shown by the state
ment that nearly Is million dollars have
been paid by The Prudential to residents of
this State, and that more than 900, 900
policies are now held in The Prudential
by New Jersey peaple.
The Prudential wrote more new bust
ness and paid more claims in New Jersey
last year than any other Company oper-
ating in this State. In purely voluntary
concessions alone (that is dividends, ETC..
granted by the Prudential which were
not provided for in the policy holders
contracts) New Jersey people have bene-
fitted to the extent of over 81, 900, 900.
These figures show that The prudential
is of great value as a source of wealth to
the State.
In other respects this big institution is
also important to the State. A great life
insurance company is something more
than an indemnifer against risks; it is in
cidentally a great investor, a great en-
ployer Of labor and a great source of rev.
enue to both city and State. Figures
showing The P~rudential's status in these
various aspects are given.
Thus the amount loaned on bond and
mortgage in New Jersey is over Sc, 900, 900;
an investment which must have it's effects
in the development of productive indus
try. Again, The Prudential finds a liveli-
hood for between 5000 and 1000 New Jer-
sey people who have dependents represent
ing perhaps two or three times that num-
Der. AS a taxpayer The Prudential has
paid to New Jersey the great sum of ST.
10000 which somebody would have had
to pay if The Prudential had not located
iii New Jersey. This leaves out of account
the reduction of taxation that has taken
place through the decrease of public funer-
ais since the Introduction of Industrial
Life Insurance.
The Prudential carries over $155, 00O,-
600, of paid for Life Insurance on the
lifes of New Jersey people, which is the
best evidence of the confidence held by
the citizens Of the State in that great
institution.

Dear Sir: Mr.. Frank Robinson, Titus

of feeling against the whole tribe of mixed
paints. Our agents there, Messrs. Ker-
nochan & Co., got him to do it. He says:
l am more than pleased with the job. l had
one-third of the paints leftover; l know'o sew.
eral other jobs, a year old or more, painted
with Devoe, that are wearing we'll.
What a pity we have to all go through
the same school, to find out what paint to
put on a house! Experience teaches.
Isn't there any easier way to learn?.

The Awakening of American Con-
science.

Whether municipal corruption was
worse then than now 1 cannot tell.
That is a question which history, not a
boyhood Renaissance, must answer.
My impression is that the stealing un-
der Tweed was more. gross, fragrant
and direct than under Croker; but
whether skill covering robbery makes
it any better is questionable. 1t may,
however, perhaps be assumed that
''honest graft" at least recognizes the
reality of a public conscience which
dishonest graft does not. And in this
seems to me a chief difference between
the ethical standards on this subject
now and half a century ago. There
was then no such universal movement
against corruption as has Simultaneous
ly and spontaneously appeared in COM
munities as remote from each other as
New York, st. Louis and Minneapolis.
1t took along time and great persistence
to awaken the American conscience on
the subject of slavery; but when it was
awakened it was wide awake, and ever
since has shown a readiness to respond
to appeals which before it did not exhi-
bit. 1 think it was George William
Curtis who, IN one of his lectures, said
that prior to the fugitive slave law the
Constitution was the Americans con-
science. The only question he asked
was "What is constitutional" Since
Stewards appeal to the "higher law
and the events which so %eloquently and
effectively emphasized that appeal, the
question of the American people has
not been "What is legal?" nor "What
is constitutional" but "What is
right" There is to-day in New York
City a practically overwhelming de-
mand, joined in by men of all parties,
that Mr.. Hearst shall be inaugurated
as mayor if he has been elected as may
or. / do not think there would have
been any such overwhelming demand
under similar circumstances in 1867

A new law requires all public school
teachers to pay from two to three per
cent. of their salary into the teachers
retirement fund. 1t will not be many
years before the unclaimed blessings
will want the State to pay them a pen

bachelors for their benefit.

Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of
South Carolina may make the sobriquet
of "Cornfield lawyer one of honor
and renown. He seems to be holding
his W with the constitutional law
yers. AS to common ems he has no
superior in the senate, and while his
rhetoric is not always up to the stand
ard of Edward Everett he has no diff
ficulty whatever in making his mean
ing understood. He takes no stock
whatever in Talleyrand's dictum that
language was made to conceal ideas.
Quite the contrary, as many of the con-
script fathers can testify to their sor-
