Why The Prudential Changed its Plan
Of Doing Business.

| The Prudential Insurance Company Of
America has changed 30 non participating
basis because il believes that the man who
buys life Insurance to-day wants policy
at the Invest possible cost, with the best
projection that money will purchase. 7
Former United States Senator John F..
Dryden, president OF The Prudential, thus
STATED the reason for The Pfudentiaps
change in it's plan Of dong business.
The Company has taken this course be-
Ilieying that the general public now pre-
| fers low life insurance rates with liberal
guarantees, rather than higher rates with
estimated dividends.
| We believe our new non participating
policy meets these demands aud that it will
be found equal to if not better than any
other policy now offered to the public. It
/ is issued in amounts from 81 900 up, and
contains the entire contract, everything in
the policy being guaranteed. 1t is a great
success.
"In the Pfudential's office and field adj
ministration, President Dryden continued
many important improvements haYe been
introduced, the effect Of which will be TO
further reduce the expense-rate and bring
about economies in management in other
Edirections This is in strict conformity
with the Company established plan for
many years, each succeeding year indicat-
ing progress and success, as measured by
the most rigid standard Of sound economy.
During 1905 The Prudential's general
expense-Tate, exclusive Of taxes, was the
lowest in the Company's history, the re-
|duction being nearly three per cent. of the
premium income.
THE Prudential has the well-earned rep
utation of thorough familiarity with every
detail Of Office and field administration and
its complex business, financial, acturial,
medical and other experience now extends
over more than three decades. Every pre-
|caution it employed to safeguard the
interests of policyholders against she admis-
sion of inferior risks and the question Of
Equality alone determines the business policy
Iof the Company
ssThe Prudential has now over 7, ,00O, 900
policies IN force. and its new low-cost non
participating policy Is one of the best-selling
policies The Prudedtial has ever issued.
Prudential agents all over the country are
handling the new policy with great success
and reporting big business.
'sIn table just published The Pruden-
tiai compares its new low rates with the
average rates OF one hundred and two life
insurance companies Of the world The
comparison is exceedingly instructive, and
graphically emphasizes the assertion that the
new rates Of The Prudential are the lowest,
consistent with liberality and safety Offered
to the public by any company Of correspond
ing size, Importance and responsibility in
either the United States or Europe.
A specimen Of the new policy will be
sent, free of cost 10 any person sending age
and occupation to The Prudential, Newark,
n. J !. and we believe that upon comparison
|it viii be found there is no policy in the
world equal to the new policy Of The Pru-

Side Light on Frank S. Kaizenbach, JP
From Newton n. J. Heraldl.

- -
Mr.. George Roe, of Augusta, foremost
ard active Democrat Of Frankford town
ship, was caller at the Herald office opg
day last week He is particularly pleased
with the nomination Of the Hon. Frank s.
Katzenbach, Jr., of Trenton, as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor. He is well
set in the opinion that better nomination
could not haYe been made. He tells MS his
son-in-law, Prof. Stephen Case, of West
Orange, attended the State Normal School
several years ago. While registered as a
student at this popular New Jersey centre
Of education, one Sabbath, Mr.. Case inYit-
ed two of his school friends to accompany
him to a Sabbath afternoon exercise at a
Presbyterian Chapel. The young men were
invited to join class with a very active
and bright appearing teacher. They were
so well pleased with the manner in which
the class was conducted they attended the
same chapel the Sabbath following and
were equally grasiied. Upon their re-
turn from the chapel they reported their
pleasant experience to their fellow stu
dents. The next Sabbath larger delega-
tion attended the Sabbath school at the
same chapel, and were equally pleased and
edited with the descriptive powers and
brilliancy Of the teacher Each Sabbath
afterwards witnessed larger attendance
from the college named, and at the close Of
the college year the delegation numbered
between forty and fifty. Each Sabbath the
teacher became more and more impressive,
commanding to marked degree the atten-
tion and admiration of his college students.
Mr.. Case is of the opinion that New Jersey
meyer knew more interesting, logical and
convincing Sabbath school teacher. The
name Of the man who became the idol of
the attendants of the State Normal School
as Sabbath school teacher was Fra nix s.
Katzenbach, Jr., to-day the Democratic
candidate for Governor of New Jersey
While differing with Mayor Katzenbach in
politics, it is reported that Prof. Case will
take great delight in giving him most cor
dial support. He believes that such men as
Mayor Katzenbach are the right stamp OF
men to preside over the destinies Of state,
and to this sentiment thousands upon
thousands OF voters in the State of New
Jersey from its northermost boundary line
to the wave washed coast Of its southern
extremity will say amen and amen.

You know how man should conduct
an office. 4 man receiving q great salary
should be there in attendance Ii was dis
closed that the clerk Of the supreme coutt
was at his Office one day in week. He
arrived there at II o'clock in the morning
and left at in the afternoon. Even at
that he took lunch with the other officials
and talked politics, not Of the state bat Of
the United States. Six thousand dollars
was paid this Official. That is thirty dollars
an hour for every hour he was there Most
OF the men Of the state, labor more than a
week to get $50 and this man got that for
nothing This inattention to duty makes
friction in the Offices and some more clerks
necessary to do the work of the Office. =
This is one out OF the many examples
Of the results obtained by the investigating
committee. Many state officers were allowed
to draw two salaries The state treasurer drew
his own salary, and at the same time was
clerk of Morris County. When:asked how he
attended to both offices he said that the
clerks Office, Of coure had to run itself, but
the truth OF the matter is that the treasury
had to run itself at least half of the time.
.'The secretary Of the Burea Of Labor
was at the same time the head Of the James
town Exposition commission. The assis-
tant Secretary Of State had charge of the
Department for Motor Vehicles These
men were not all doing their duty.
"For twelve years there haYe been many
Improvements made at the State House at
at Trenton and at other state institutions.
The peculiar thing about this is that the one
doing all the work was the same firm, Lewis
Lawton & Son. These were always the
successful bidders and we don't have to 60
far before you find reason. For one con-
tract, bids were asked and when they were
opened one very reliable firm had bid $S9 900
and the Lawton's S93. o0o. Then the archi-
tect came around an said that all bids
would have to be thrown out for SIS 900
must be figured in for furnishing the
wing Lawton then bid So, 900 and
got the contract Immediately after the sem
ate committee voted S15,oOO for extras for
that wing
Is that the way the state can get the best
returns for its money? Not only that, but
for every 100000 spent for buildings,
25 per cent more was spent for extras.
Therefore cay to you, want you to know
that the State has not been administered
honestly. It is time for change.

County Convention N Woodbury. on Sep

Promise and Performance.

The platform adopted by the Republican
State Convention held recently, is still
fresh. Read it Then compare its prom
lses with those made by the same Republi-
can party in convention assembled in 1895.
when it was most anxious to have its can
didate for governor elected and the com
plete control Of every department Of the
State government placed in its hands. The
voters of New Jersey believed in its prom
ises then and elected its gubernatorial can
didate. Here are the promises it made:
sIf intrnsted with executive and legis-
latiye power, we pledge ourselves to the
abolition Of every act now ON the statute
book inimical to the interests of the peo-
pie. We pledge ourselves TO oppose any
attempt to impose upon the people tax
for the support Of the State government;
any attempt to impair or divert from its
proper use the fund for the support of the
public schools. We pledge ourselves to
the abolition of unnecessary offices and the
reduction Of excessive salaries. We pledge
ourselves to the purifeation of every de-
partment Of the State government; to still
further legislation for the general good ard
to an administration of the affairs of the
State which shall have for its sole object
the welfare and prosperity Of the whole
people
How the Republican party kept those
promises LET the records of the Assembly
Investigating Committee tell Let ii point
to a single Office abolished; let it point to a
single excessive salary reduced. Let it
point to a single department. of the State
government purified; on the contrary lei it
explain if it can, how departments against
which in Democratic days not word of
reproach was uttered have been shown TO
be corrupt to the bottom, and how institu-
tions, built up under Republican rule, have
become the scenes of disgusting debauch-
cry. Every act of the Republican party
in the last ten years has been for the CON
tinuance in power Of the Republican party
and not for the general good or the welfare
of the people, and the records of the State
prove it. It's platform promises are Of no
value whatever. lSunbeam.

A Voting Machine Quest.

1t is suggested that the Hahn committee,
or some other committee, should look into
the job by which the voting machines were
fastened upon this State, and at cost ol
more than quarter Of million dollars.
An investigation Of State expenditures
should certainly take in that big item. The
voting machine bill was introduced by
Senator Wakelee, and it was lobbied
through by the and of certain State officials.
A bill contemplating contracts for hundreds
Of thousands of dollars is not boosted
through the Legislature exclusively on its
merits.
There was no public demand for voting
machines when the act was passed. and she
public was kept in the dark as to she finan-
cial dimensions Of the contracts to be made
nnder it. The price charged, and paid, for
the machine was excessive. Only one firm
supplied the machine The Voting Machine
Commissioners simply carry ont the law
and are not responsible for its creation OF
operation. Other men are, and It should
be the duty Of an Investigating committee
to smoke them out and learn the true ii.

BRITISH PLEASED BY TREATY
Anglo-Russian Convention Meets
with Newspapers Approval.
CURLING of RusslR's Ambition for
Territorial Expansion Chief
Object Attained.

London. Sept 1.-The text Of the Anglo
Russian convention will not be published
until the notifications have been exchang-
ed but it is known that it defines the
positions of the two powers in regard to
Tibet. the Afghan frontier Persia, and
probably Turkey and Macedonia.
The news Of the signature Of the treaty
is received with satisfaction in England
and criticism is reserved until its con-
tents are known Meanwhile the view Of
the relations of the two empires which
prevails here is expressed fairly by the
Morning POST. which says:
THE aim of Russian policy for the
greater part OF the nineteenth, century
was territorial expansion in three di~ec-
tlons-southwest. at the expense Of Pc
land and Turkey; southeast in Central
Asia, and thirdly. toward the Pacific
All three branches of this policy appeared
to threaten three British interests.
1t was held TO be the British interest to
prevent Russia from acquiring the Bos.
phorus. and also that Russian advance
in Asia in either direction menaced Brit
ish interests in India and China. Thus
there arose prolonged antagonism, but
the war with Japan produced a reaction
in Russia which makes an early return
10 thee old policy improbable and inter-
national developments Of Russia's Ash
ATTIC territory seems likely to give scope
to her energies for some time
The Tribune, which sympathizes strong
" with the revolutionary movement, says
The convention can surely deal only with
the routine settlement of details. because
any sort of entente is wholly impossible
with the present system of government
in Russia.
2 The Daily News Is angry that the sig
nature OF the convention was deferred
until the British Parliament had adj
journed, thus preventing the Liberal mem
bers OF the House of Commons from rails
ing the whole question of Anglo-Russian
relations. 1t wishes to know what price
England paid 20 the bankrupt, defeated
Russian government, which is now no
danger to any external foe.
