A brother and sister of Fegan, who

THE REoRGANIZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers cf
the company. the Board has adhered
10 the idea that life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president is
Darwin P. Kingsley, college bred
man of good New England stock, who
mas been in the company's service in
variety of capacities for period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
Of life insurance, he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter of century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment of work. VIM. Il. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
Of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
ldents, and will continue at the head
Of the company's Office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
heir belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders. alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had $2.000.0O0,0O0 insurance on
its books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
Of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
s150,000,000 a year (Which is about
onehalf the New York Life formerly
1id). the company's outstanding busi-
ness still exceeds s2.OOO,OOO,OO
Policyholders generally will be still
'urther reassured by this action of the
Board. as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
Of thorough training and unexception-
able character.

The Personality of Labor.

The notion is quite too prevalent
that the workirgman is primarily an
economic problem" that he ought to
realize this and conduct himself with
mechanical regularity and impersonal
uniformity as fractional unit of labor
power. We shall never make any
headway under that doctrine. The
workingman is first of all human
being. The purchase of his labor is
only in limited sense to be compared
to the purchase of a commodity and
cannot be treated in the same way
AS DIR. Abbot has suggested. in the
sale of sugar or flour the personal re-
lation of mutual confidence need enter
only once, at the time OF the ex.
change; but where you are buying la
bor the laborer goes with the labor
and the personal relation of con.
fidence and responsibility must be
there all the time, from day to day
and week to week, or somebody is
cheated. Therefore. whatever method
of getting along together is adopted
says Hayes Robbins in Atlantic. it
must count with personal qualities as
an essential part of the relation.

James Rudolph Garfield. eeeretar,

James Rudolph Garfield. secretary
of the interior, was standing by the
side of his father in the Pennsylvania
railroad station in Washington on that
fateful day in July, 1881, when the as
sassin's bullet for the second time
dealt death to a president of the
United States. The secretary was
then only II years old-just the age
when the average mind is most sus,
ceptible to impressions. Close friends
say that the horror of that hideous
tragedy has never fully left Mr. Gar.
fields mind, and some of them be-
lieve that its effects account for the
half-sad expression that always lin,
gers in his face. even when he smiles
or laughs.
