THAT NEW LAUNCH LAW.

The federal government has at last
taken up the matter of the handling of
the gasolene launches, and imposed GER
tain requirements that are wholly wise
aud commendahle, and should have been
imposed long ago But they are in force
now. and vessels Of that class, under lS
tons gross, win be comparatively safe
from this time on for those who use
them in any way, There was a grave
mistake made, however, in excepting the
pleasure boats and yachts of this class,
They should have been included, for the
sake of the lives that may be imperilled
for want Of the very things provided for
the working boat, The owner Of a
pleasure launch is much better able TO
supply his craft with all that the gov
ernment imposes on the others, and he
is frequently the host of groups OF
friends ON board, that may need life
preservers just as badly as the crews or
passengers Of the vessels required 10
carry them. II is not matter of per-
sonal responsibility; the government hal
as much control over the one as the
other, and life is life. wherever it may
chance to need saving The exception ie
the bad feature OF the new law.

THE INSURANCE SPECTACLE.

There is but little choice to be had as
between the filthy meat packeries of the
country and the dishonest, haggling AMI
shirking insurance companies, wnen Il
comes to a final estimate of either. The
American public is utterly shamed by
the disclosures in both businesses, and
takes but little trouble to differentiate
between them. Both have forfeited the
right to public confidence, and though
there are exceptions in the ranks of both
the disreputable records they have made
az commercial units, makes it every diff
cult to realize and recognize the con-
Germs uninvolved. When an American
lends his confidence and support to any
line of business, such as insurance. life,
fire, and accident he looks upon the yen-
ture as wholesome and carries it cheer
fully, year to year, in the firm convic-
tion he is to get his moneys worth when
the time shall come, and if it does not
come, then he is satisfied with the as
surance of the protection he has had. and
still has the good word for his company
and his risk. When some big event
transpires to put the company to the
farthest test of endurance and try out
its integrity, he is forced to acknowledge
that his faith was folly and his risk
a bauble, he is ashamed of himself, of
his country and the business institutions
that were its pride, and is altogether un-
done and demoralized. Some author
itative way should be devised that would
give wide and instant publicity to the
names of the companies that are true to
their last obligations, in the present in
stance, and those of the defaulting con-
Germs, so that the new business might
accrue to the houses that are entitled
to it by reason of their probity; and the
shifting, shirking and defective bust
nesses be allowed to go hang. This paper
would be glad to publish a discriminat'
ing list for the benefit of its readers III

Luck means rising not later tnan 8

are 100000 earthworms quietly at work
for the advantage OF the upper six feet
OF every acre of earth. They continually
turn over the soil and drag down leaves
and grass, and thus they loosen the soil
and fertilize the ground, so that the
necessary air can reach the roots that
spread and grow.
