THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes In With the New Law-PauI
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
Of New York has opened up a promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies. each of
which practically bears the hal! mark
of the State of New York. and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
eXtravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead of selling it.
His place is being taken by profes.
sors, lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
a life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres.
ent system its sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita.
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency Or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: I'VE want new agents, both
men and women, but none except en-.
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is a splendid
opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

GOVERNMENTS WAR ON STAND
ARD OIL IS OPENED UP IN
ST. PAUL.
HEARING on The EXCEPTIONS
KELLOGG DEFENDS POINTS MADE
IN THE COMPLAIN! OF THE
GOVERNMENT.

st. Paul, May 2G-An important le-
gal battle in the governments war
against the Standard Oil monopoly
was fought yesterday in the United
States circuit court sitting. in st. Paul.
The bill Of exceptions to the govern
ment's complaint was argued before
the four judges of the Eighth judicial
circuit, the arguments lasting little
less than four hours. The judges,
Sanborn, Hook, Van Devanter and
Adams. took the matter under advise
ment, and there was no intimation as
to when their decision will be handed
down.
While yesterdays hearing did not
necessarily go to the merits of the
governments case, it was important
as bearing on the future conduct of
the case.
Trusts Contentious.
II the Standard Oil attorneys are
sustained in their contentious, issue
will be Joined on allegations in the
complaint which have to do only with
acts of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, which was organized in
1899 as a holding company to succeed
the Standard Oil trust agreement,
which was declared illegal and under
which the alleged illegal business OF
the Standard Oil group were carried
on from 1882 to 1899. Neither will is
sue be Joined on alleged illegal acts
prior to 1882 of the thirty-nine oil
companies which in 1882 entered into
the trust agreement.
Governments Contention.
On the other hand, il the court sus-
tains the governments contention that
issues in the case shall not be limit
ed to acts of the Standard Oil Compa-
nv of New Jersey, organized IN 1899,
but that it is pertinent to show the
entire history of the illegal business
methods by which the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey secured mo-
nopoly of commerce, in violation of
the common law prior to the enactment
of the Sherman antitrust law and in
violation of that law since its enact
ment, the next step will be the taking
of testimony on all allegations set
forth in the complaint. Counsel for
the government set up that the con-
spiracy in restraint of trade did not
begin with the organization Of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
in 1899, but that the conspiracy
Had Its Inception
back in 1870; that the conspiracy has
been continuing offense, and that
every overt act. including the organi
cation of the Standard Oil Company OF
New Jersey, in furtherance of the
conspiracy, is a renewal of the con
spiracy as to all of the parties.
The government was represented al
yesterdays hearing by Frank B. Kel
logg of st. Paul, who made the only
argument on behalf Of the govern
ment; C. B. Morrison of Chicago and
Milton P. Purdy, assistant attorney
general. The attorneys representing
the Standard Oil company were Johr
G. johnson of Philadelphia and Johr
G. Milburn of New York.
