THE INSURANCE. ELECTION oouN7


The election of directors for two Of
the big life companies under the Arm
strong Law has turned out fasco that
excites universal disgust, because the
count OF the votes has been trihed
with by the very influences which the
election was provided to eliminate.
One OF the chief evils developed by
the memorable investigation was the
alliance of politicians and Insurance
officials. and the law was changed to
a direct vote of policyholders in order,
mainly, to dislodge the cliques In con-
troll. But the counting of the votes,
though the election was held months
ago, has been so manipulated that at
tho rate of progress so far II could not
be completed for several years, or till
after the terms of some of the success
full candidates had expired.
The object of the Armstrong law
was, of course. to secure the election
IL fair field of directors who would
represent the interest of the policy
EOluSISJ Dub 50 lar as counting tnelT
ballots is concerned it gave the super
intendent of insurance the widest lat
itHde and discretionary power. The
Insurance department remained organ
lied as it had been through the period
of the abuses which the investigation
disclosed, and out of its discretionary
powers has now come the counting
face that nUllifies the purpose of the
election law.
Now that Governor Hughes is firmly
seated in the chief executives office, a
review of the whole insurance reform
effort is not unlikely. More than a
suspicion exists that an important
factor in the policyholders' election
was powerful financial interests con-
tending for control of the huge assets
under mask of the policyholders' In
terests. and really to revive and per-
petuate the old abuses in new form,
and that these cabals. through political
connections, are seeking to make the
count abortive.

RoosrvELTs GENERALIZATION"

The recent criticisms of President
Roosevelt from the democratic side in
the house and senate epitomized in
Senator Rayner's speech, indicate a
concerted plan to attack the central
izing tendency" of his policy and raise
the states rights doctrine as a parti-
san issue for coming campaign pur-
poses. Mr. Bryan. too. is showing a
disposition to fall in line with these
tactics, appealing to that sentiment
and to those sections which have al
ways been most jealous of national SUI
premacy.
II must. however, be clear to sober
reflection that these partisan incite-
ments are not striking the chord of
popular response as they did In the
old days. AS a matter of mere po-
litical tactics they fatty fail to mark
way for democratic escape from the
dilemma so forcefully stated by Sec
rotary Root, that either the several
states must meet the needs and rem
edy the abuses thrust upon the people
by changed Industrial and social con-
ditions, or the national government
will find means under constitutional
constructions and amendments for
meeting them. That definition in
stantly struck public conviction as
summing up the actual situation, and
the whole trend OF current affairs YER
ifes IL.
The hollowness of such partisan de-
nunclation of GENERALIZATION" is dem
onstrated by the fact that the same
democratic leaders have been support
ing the principle OF the most conspieu-
Gus measures in which this danger
GUS and lnsidious doctrine" has been
embodied under Roosevelt's leader
ship. Foremost among them are the
pure food, meat inspection and rail-
road rate acts, every one OF which in
yades the field around which the
states rights dogma would build a
wall against national paramountcy.
Practically the whole democratic rep
resentation in congress is freshly on
record as approving the basis of this
policy. and large section of It as ind
ing fault with these and other cen
Trailing measures solely on the
ground that they did not go far
enough. And the special democratic
claim has been that President Roose-
vet had In all this merely stolen dem
ocratic thunder.
This further unacceptable difheulty is
also presented that democratic leader
ship cannot now reverse itself in lay
ing a foundation for the party strug-
gle of 1908 against Capitalization
without absolutely aligning itself
with the great corporation interests
and considerations SO bitterly opposed

Roosevelt Is to have a place In history
along with those immortal names that are
not born TO die Il Is in order to ask, Whyf
What has he done? To be sure. he has
fought the battles OF peace, both abroad
and at home He has won from the
world a recognition OF the dignity and
power of simple Justice unadorned by the
frifls OF diplomacy; and for the people at
home he has won some peaceful victories
In the preliminary struggles against the
encroaching greed OF organized capital,
To be sure, he has issued certain orders
that have temporarily helped TO purify pol
tiles, and he has made life uncomfortable

treasury or violate their official trusts.
But IL that enough TO lift a man upon a
pedestal in the worlds hall OF fame. to
which, so far. America has contributed but
three figures-Franklin, washington and

Naturally, his friends see man in one
light and his enemies In another, so there
are two distinct views OF Roosevelt. II his
friends contend that he is responsible for
Cuban reciprocity, for the law establishing
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
for the Elkins law. for the inspection law,
his enemies demand that congress. and not
he, be recognized as the legislative branch

friends point to his diplomatic successes,
his enemies insist that Mr.. Hay be given
credit for what he did; II his friends re-
