MONEY WELL SPENT.

Life insurance In Germany has had
the astonishing effect OF increasing the
tenure Of life among Its benefclaries.
4 German law, originally designed To
protect the state from pauperism 70.
sulting from invalidlty. provides that
every workman must insure himself
against illness. Half the premium,
which is small is paid by the employer.
II was soop found that In some indus.
tries many workers developed consump.
ton and were lncapacitated. The sue.
cess of the whole scheme of obligatory
insurance was threatened. As II purely
economic matter It became necessary
10 protect wOrlilnen against consump-
tion and to provide hospitals for the
cure of the disease. II was good busi-
ness for the government to make its
law practicable by assisting the hos
pitfalls. ana for the capitalists to keep
workmen sound and healthy. The les
son from this Is not an argument In IA
yOr Of obligatory Insurance, but II deep
or lesson. the value to society of the life
of man and the great return ON the
investment Of money spent to prevent
and cure disease.

Outside Work for ARMY Officers

The War Department does well 10 dis
courage. in language which is unmistak-
able. the employment Of army officers
IN pursuits which take their time, in
terest. and talent from the military pro-
fession. The Secretary Of War has re-
ceiyed a number Of complaints against
officers whose names are cOnspicuously
allied with mining ventures, and several
New York firms have reported that they
have been approached by a regular army
officer who solicited advertising for a
publication. This activity is looked upon
with marked dlsapproval, and II is an
nounced for the guidance Of officers who
are inclined to engage In such outside
employment that the government is en-
titled 10 the exclusive right OF their ef-
forts. and that their titles may not prop
erly be considered as a commercial as
set. It is added that "the display OF
the uniform or title for the purpose OF
advertising a private business is in bac
taste. II not reprehensible."
The ruling IS one entirely m the inter
est Of the integrity and dignity Of The
military service. and no possible fault
can be found with the theory that army
officers. who have been educated by th'
government and who receive pay and al
lowances from it, should give all theii
/ time. interest and talent 10 the pro
| fession they have chosen.

Tnn Nnrro,v q View.

From the New York Tribune.
It is TO be hoped that the severe con-
demnation Of the jamestown Exposition
INDUCED in editorlally by the Army and
Navy Register Is due chiefly to the mill
tary mans intense dislike for things COM
mercial. When that journal SAYS that
the exposition ought TO be exposed as
monumental failure in which both
army and navy are made to do duty as
A side show. it IS evidently judging the
case too narrowly from the point Of
view Of the soldiers and sailors who are
already tired Of having 20 show off, TO
the public. just as the denizens OF Da-
honey villages and little Cairos do The
grumblers should remember, though, that
the American people have a certain right
to see their troops and ships from time TO
time
