rHs NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes in With the New LaW-Paul
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law Of the State
Of New York has opened up 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 hall 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 yocations. 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 it's 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
sanization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: Eve 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. Mortons policy Of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

There was SO much ceremony con-

was something to knash ones teeth at

OeCter streets ana SIDEWALKS, an
opera house, town hall, street

Now such things as water and
light systems"come high" Though
not too high for prosperous, grow
ing town like Lancaster. There
are, however, some things need
ed by Lancaster which are by
no means SO expensive.
In the first place, we should
have fire department-not
necessarily paid department.
volunteer department would
answer all practical purposes
for several years to come. We
know Of no town in the state
more at the mercy of the flames
today than Lancaster. What
arrangements have we for fight
ing fire9 Practically none. We
haven't even an adequate water
supply for use in case of an emer-
gency by the primitive "bucket
brigade" Private wells can not
be depended upon. The water in
them soon "gives out" in case of
serious fire; moreover, the
wells are oftentimes inaccessible.
We should at least have hand
engine and hose aud an
abundance of water located at
convenient points in the princi-
pal parts of the town. Several
reservoirs or cisterns should be
built at once, which could be
easily filled during rains by pipes
running from large buildings.
The reduction in insurance rates
on account of the establishment of
fire department would in a very
short time more than pay the
cost of such department.
Lancaster also needs military
company. Our neighboring towns
have such organizations and we
doubt if there is town in the
state the size of Lancaster that is
without one. Aside from the
social features and the advanta-
ges of military training, a we'll
equipped military company in
community has most salutary
effect on the lawless and the
riotously inclined. We do not
know at what time the sheriff of
the county may need and need
badly military company to act
as a posse comitatus, TO protect
prisoners or to quell uprisines.
With the aid now extended to
military companies by the state
and the national government
the members of the militia are
at little or no expense 10 main
tain their organizations. Lancas-
ter has among her young men
some fine material for military
company--let us have one.
This community also needs one
or more large truck farms in
the vicinity. There are hun
dreds of families here that have
no stock or hired labor on their
premises, aud in order to have
any vegetables at all they are
forced TO "make gardens" at
great expense. All such families
would become patrons of a truck
farm. Here is a paying industry

They who class Theodore Roosevelt
rs a radical, eithert to blame or to praise
him, are deceived by his melodramatic
name and the torrential flow OF his
untiring eloquence. When his words
and acts are subjected to the laboratory
analysis Of plain common sense, the
sentiments C~rystalized out OF them
seem reasonable and moderate enough.
Americans are too near to him to do
inis with advantage, and persons in
direct contact with him encounter
unconquerable obstacles to doing him
justice. The man is loved as well AZ
hated for the mere theatrical outside
Of him. Foreigners are less deceived
by this, as posterity will be. Some OF
the most just estimates OF the president
come from abroad.
The London Spectator, in a recent
article, Justly attributes Roosevelt's
strength to the support OF the people,
and this in turn TO the essential mod
Grafton Of mis- public views and curse
between the dangerous extremes Of al
most every question. Only in his atti-
tude towards private immortality and
public corruption is the president
Incorporating or extreme. On
nearly every question on which honest
men may differ, his abundant
utterances offend the extremists Of one
side ss often as those OF the other.
In public life he stands between La
Toilette and Aldrich on the railroad
question between public ownership Of
the railroads and railroad ownership Of
the country on the labor question be-
tween the oppression Of the anthracite
coal trust and the arson and assassina-
ton OF the Western miners on the
state rights question between the use
and abuse OF federal power.
There is no better proof OF modera-
ton than to be denounced at once by
the socialists and the %plutocrats, to be
hated by undesirable citizens at either
end OF the social scale. Minneapolis
