One OF the great problems Of the
century is that OF capital and labor,
1t is not. as formerly, a battle OF the
rich against the poor and the poof
against the rich, but 1t is an effort
upon the part OF each to dominate the
other No one will question the right
of capital TO organize and concentrate
its strength for the advancement OF
its interests. This done along legiti.
mate lines is necessary in commercial
life Of to-day Nor do wise men OBJ
jact TO the organization OF labor for
It's protection and the advancement
OF its own interests. Both organiza.
tions are essential.
But the tendency OF the times is to
use capital TO the detriment Of labor

Many public men, men who know bet,

PURlFiEU Lire INSURANCE,
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence Of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de.
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given a thorough trial be.
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the miSmanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each poliCyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze Of the big companies and the ex-
cesSiYe cost of securing new business
was the most eXtraVagant evil Of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost Of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over s2,000,000 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1929 in 1904, 1882 in
1905. and only 144SGo in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to $7,2S9,734,
which was an increase of more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made a better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and I'M
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law SUBJ
stantially as it stands.

81 better still, engraved as for any even
ing party; if desired, the date of mar
riage and the present date may be at
the head of the sheet so the guests
may figure for themselves the occa-
sion of the company. .....
49, Of course the dining-room table will
be the center of attraction, and it
should be kept as nearly all white as
possible. Use a glass bowl filled with
white roses or carnations sprinkled
with diamond dust for the center
piece; glass candlesticks with white
= shades. Cut glass or rock crystal

e enough to possess it, should hold salt

Serve salad, sandwiches, ice cream
Or an ice in tall glasses. The candles
placed around the rooms may be coat
ed with diamond dust by first dipping
them in mucilage; the effect is very
pretty. Place cards may be treated in
the same way, also tiny boxes filed
with wedding cake; the monogram and
date may be put on with gold paint:
they make appropriate souvenirs.
Toasts to the host and hostess and
a programme of we'll selected songs
add much to the enjoyment of the
evening. If desired, the bride and
groom's cake may be baked in heart,
shaped pans; they are newer than the
round or square tins.
