INrEILIGEsr sIIF-PRorEcTroM

The action of the Phoenix Life In- surance company of Hartford in with drawing its agencies from the. State of Wisconsin comes at a time when 1t is calculated to further illuminate the discussion over the proposed federal control of life insurance companies. It would be more satisfactory perhaps if some company having it's home else where had been selected by fate to impress upon the community at large the evil of explosive State legislation in order to control public corpora tions, but in the absence If one the State of Connecticut gladly contrib utes one of its own which is managed by men of rare intelligence.
 We do not know exactly what the laws are which the State of Wiscon- sin has enacted and which have of- tended against the business judgment of President Holcombe and his off, cial associates but some idea can be gained by reading in part letter sent the Wisconsin policyholders by the Phoenix company. 1t reminds them l that the company has been doing bus mess there for over half century and that Fat this time nU suit is pending against the company in any court nor is there in it's office disputed or doubtful claim" The letter goes on to suggest that If the people of Wiscon- sin believe that there is an unusual con- dition of affairs in their State which demands the passage of laws for their protection, 1t is the duty of the legis- lature to enact statutes which shall as completely as possible avert the dan gers which have been shown to exist. The officers of this company do not question the power and duty of the | legislature in such a case, nor have they any quarrel with the people and their representatives, but they can not conscientiously run the risk of in- curing penalties under laws of doubt full meaning or comply with require ments not in accord with those meth ods which have been adopted after many years of study and observa- ton"
 In other words the legislature of the State of Wisconsin has enacted new laws of doubtful meaning and mys. terious intent which make the doing of the life insurance business there precarious Rather than run a risk which might involve serious litigation the Phoenix Mutual leaves the State It will be determined later whether the State of Wisconsin was wise oi unwise in having enacted the objec
 tionable laws. There is no question o
 its right to do so, while it is of tn, utmost importance that it should pre- serve the right to do so whenever considers the welfare of its peopl
 threatened and not lose that right t
 another There is no question of tn
 right of the protesting company t pack up it's goods and leave the State

whether that was good or bad counsel There is fortunately no question of it's right to protect itself in just the manner it did. In word the conditions are such in this country under State rights that the chance of either peo- pie or a business undertaking being ruined by the ignorance of the one or the rapacity of the other is eliminated.
 It would be pity to have this au- tomatic system of checks and balances injured by the substitution of federal scheme of government It might be a congress, controlled by forceful man of radical ideas, which enacted laws which would impose upon life in-. surance company the embarrassment the State of Wisconsin has imposed upon the Phoenix Mutual and other companies In that case 1t would have been the probable experience of that company to either retire from busi- ness or continue in business under in- | tolerable conditions. If we could be sure that, Congress would never offend | in such a connection the risk would be small but history has given no such assurance of congressional boise as warrants the confidence that the Wisconsin experiment would be Im- possible. The task of controlling the corporations better be left where 1t is with the creating State in power.
 We take it that this is the conclusion reached by the officers of the Phoenix
 Mutual Life Insurance company.

 complished by the system of Homes" which he established is being contin- ued At a meeting in London the other day Lord Strathcona said that he was pretty well acquainted with the work done in outlying parts of the empire, more especially in Canada. During
 the past year there were received in-

For several years past from 1000 to 1,200 children had annually been cent from the homes to Canada, and, although they were drawn from that class of the population in which there was @ great deal of crime, prac- tically the entire number had done we'll Many of them had been adopted by respectable Canadian families.

 The esteemed Springfield Republi- can makes a note of the fact that three well-known papers of this State, The New Haven Journal and Courier" the "Waterbury American" and "The Courant," which have shown an ap- preciation of Secretary Taft and a de- sire to see him nominated. are edited by Yale men who are personal friends of that able gentleman The nfer- ence is that support of this sort does not count because the element of friendlness enters the situation It does not seem to occur to our critical contemporary that, as a rule. 8 man s friends know him better than other folks do, and that their Judgment may son.

THE TEMPORARY TURN.

The head men in some of the Euro pean countries are not mourning much over our depression" unless they hap pen to be investors in the securities that have gone down. It is believed that our troubles will cause the return of two hundred thousand Italians to their native land, and prevent the em- igration of one hundred thousand. As Italy has lost too many of her produc- tive inhabitants owing to the superior attractiveness of the United States she will be glad to see a turn in the tide. But unless she can do better by her own folks than she has been doing she wont keep the restless ones long. The United States will soon be on the up- turn again, and there will again be pie here for the Italians who want it. Sunny Italy is good place to spend the winter in, but perhaps by next spring the United States will look to the Italians like good place to spend the summer in.

A section of steel pavement has re- gently been laid in the Rue St. Martin, Paris, to test it's usefulness. The steel blocks are nearly seven inches long and an inch and third thick, and are ridged on both sides. They are laid in cement so that the tops of the ridges just reach the surface. The ridges are so close together that horses shoe covers at least three ranges of them. It is believed that such a pavement will prove superior to asphalt in being less slippery, and more durable than pavement of wooden blocks.

The project to build railroad to the top of the Matterhorn has aroused a storm of opposition. The Swiss League for the Preservation of Pic turesque Switzerland has organized branches in England and other coun- tries of Europe The bishop of Bris- tol, representing the Alpine Club, has said that, in the eyes of all to whom sublimity of nature appeals, the pro jected railroad would act as a profan- alton and that the sacrifice of such a mountain as the Matterhorn to sec tional interests and to the materializa- ton of the age would involve an ir- reparable loss to humanity, and a wrong to succeeding generations. The matter will shortly come up before the Swiss parliament.
