COMMITTEE REPORTS.

Much important business was trans
ing OF Friends, one of the most inter-
esting being change in the time of
holding the Yearly Meeting. The
meetings have been held according to
a we'll established rule for determining
the time, but on recommendation of a
committee recently appointed, the body
sanctioned the change.
AS 1t is at present, Earlham college
begins the same week as Yearly Meet
ing and the two conflict considerably
With this reason in mind, the commit
tee recommended that yearly Meet
ing open on the fourth day following
the first day, instead Of the fourth day
after the fourth first day." or Wednes
day following the third Sunday in Sep
tember. Earlham college is required
to complete twelve weeks before tht
holidays, and this change will greatly
facilitate the work of the institution
Yearly Meeting, however, came unus
ually late this year, it being ten years
since the sessions were held so late
In October.
A collection was taken for the pur
pose of assisting the pastoral and evan
gelistic work, and the response wal
very liberal. Morris M. White of Gin
cinnati gave $1OO to this fund in nom
ory of his late brother, Francis 7
White, and 500 for his own contribu

tions were made.
Epistles were read from Nebrask'

Hazards Cause High Rates.

"The fire insurance companies 90
not want higher rates in Richmond or
any where else. Higher rates always
mean bad hazards, and the companies
prefer better risks and lower rates
because they can make more money on
that class of business. II one doubts
this let him take notice of how the
companies struggle to get large lines
on fire proof and sprinklered risks on
which rates are the lowest. What
the insurance companies would like
would be that the owners of the bad
risks in Richmond fix them up so that
the rates could be lowered. To this
end they have requested an inspection
bureau to send special inspector to
Richmond to give the business men
all cessary information and advice
to what changes they must make to
get certain reductions or what reduc-
| ton will be made for such improve
ments that the owners are willing to
make There are in Richmond a num-
| Der of risks on which rates would be
reduced more than so per cent if the
owners were willing to make the reas-
them. In some cases the new rates
would be lower than the old ones be-
| fore the city was rerated.
so far, the owners of these bad
risks have shown determination not
| to make the improvements. 1t is up
to them to do as they please with the
matter. If they desire to continue to
have fire traps they are not likely to
| be prevented, even though they do en-
danger adjacent property and in some
cases make the owner of such proper
ty pay higher rates than he would
have to pay but for the bad expos
ures. However the insurance COM
panies do not propose to carry insur-
ance on property for one half the cor
rect rate as they have done in the
past The insurance committee of the
/ Commercial club has made an adroit
play on the public's general wat of
| understanding of the fire insurance,
in publishing the premiums of Rich
moad for the past ten years as $685.
1868 while the losses amounted only
s191, ,053. Such figures appear to prove
much, but in fact they prove very lit
tie. The companies made money in
San Francisco for nearly fifty years
before 1906; then they lost all their
profits and millions besides. The com,
panies now have long experience that
conditions in a number of plants OF
4 Richmond are ripe for bad losses, be.
cause such losses have resulted from
such conditions time after time. Elk.
perience has shown them what it is
worth TO assume such risks. To all
appearances they are going to charge
the proper rates. If the owners oi
these bad risks prefer to carry their
own insurance, they can find mutuals
or unauthorized companies which
want to assume them for less money
that is their privilege. The standard
companies can better afford to lose
the business. than to lose money by
carrying it at inadequate rates.
1T would be cheerful reading to the
agents of Richmond that the CONNER
cial club had instructed its secretar,

led the ship Of state on that particu-
lar fad. He has punctured some of
the claims of the promoters OF hatred
between the railroads and the com
munity. The president follows In
the same line, when he says the rail-
roads, no less than the public, have
rights. If the roads are to remain In
private ownership, but subject to pub
lie regulation, they must be accorded
the full use Of their rights, and held
to a strict accountability for any
wrongs they may commit. In order
to move freight, pay their employees
and distribute dividends among their
stockholders, the railroads must be
allowed the use and enjoyment OF
their law-given rights. They, on
their side, are to cease discrimination
and the committal of recognized abus-
es. On the other hand, when the
railroads withdraw from politics, poll
tics must drop them Their regula-
tion becomes administrative duty
rather than political capital. The
election of a strong, well poised presi-
dent like Taft, is as necessary to the
inauguration of the new policy, as
was the election of a virile agitator
like Roosevelt to the uncovering OF
the causes for popular discomfort"

Judge Taft represents national pro-
gress and national prosperity, finan-
cial stability and growing prices for
labor and farm products. He repre-
sents all that a free and progressive
people can hope for. Capital has con-
idence in his conservative judgement
and splendid ability as a constructive
statesman.
He is not loaded with visionary
theories like Mr.. Bryan, nor has he
any untried policies to experiment
with. He stands squareH for the

Roosevelt and Is backed by our great
progressive president who considers

The Exposure OF Bryan.

New York Globe: How much long
err will William j. Bryan be able NC
cessfully to oppose on the creduiity or
any considerable number of his fellow
citizens? How much more evidence
will be necessary to open the eyes OF
those who remain deluded? These
questions naturally arise after read
ing the monograph of Colonel Guffey,
of Pennsylvania, on ''The Bryan That
l Have Known"
The Guffey conclusion that Bryan
is a quack is not new. For many
years it has been evident that be-
Meath Bryan's thin plating of pretend
ed political virtue was the base metal
OF a personality exceedingly selfish
and greedy.
Bryan attacked Gutfey and appealed
to the Pennsylvania delegation not to
reflect him national committeeman
on the ground that Gutfey Is a "cor-
porationn man. In 1900 Gutfey was
exactly the same kind of a corpora
tion man that he Is now, yet Rryan
was on his knees to Gufrey begging
for secret contributions to his cam
paign fund. AS Guffey says, refer
ring to himself, w. r. Hearst and the
late Marcus DAILY: Bryan not only
accepted gratefully, but beseechingly
sought our aid; and we gave secretly
thousands and thousands, of dollars
IGufrey sent stained glass windows To
decorate the luxurious home that Bry-
an has erected since he entered poll
tics, and Bryan was glad to have the
gift until a Chicago newspaper pub
lished the story. When the transac-
tion was found out, Bryan became an
cry and accused Guffey Of talking.
The following statement Is unchal-
lengeable: Bryan has considered any
man clean and any money clean that
was obedient to him; he has attacked
as unclean any man or money that
was In his way. He denounced Roger
10. Sullivan, of Illinois. as a train rob-
|ber,~ 80 political corrupttonist and
tool of selfish financial interests, and
then went into partnership with Sui
Ivan when the latter agreed to give
him the Illinois delegation. Bryan
denounced Croker and Tammany poll
tics, and then rode around the streets
Of New York in a carriage with Crok-
er, shouting "Great is Tammany, and
Croker is It's prophet Bryan de-
~nounced Thomas f. Ryan, yet Bryan's
brother-in-law and his national com
mitteeman from Nebraska secretly
solicited and received Ryan money to
be used to carry Nebraska that Bryan
might have a chance to come TO the
senate. Pretending to be an oppon-
emit of the trusts, he has VIGOROUSLY
been a p%ensioner on the-bounty of
Wetmore, the tobacco magnate Of st.
Louis.
Bryanhas supported thecause of free
trade and abandoned it; supported
free silver and abandoned it; support
ed Imperialism and abandoned it
and in each cas- his support or aban-
donement has been connected with
what he thought was his selfish poll
tical interest. Yet there are still
some who pretend to think that Bry-
an is something more than a mere
politician. He will be
when papier mache becomes wood
when bricks of brass become bricks of
gold.

Senator Wesley is a firm believer in
and advocates the bank deposit guar
antee. The people demand it and if
they can't get a guarantee the ten
dency is towards postal saving banks,
and this means boarding money and
deposit in government reserve centers
at low rate Of interest far from where
it belongs and of nc use tosthe people
who need to borrow money occasional
ly. The guarantee system is an old
one and not a democratic measure,
and now comes up before the people
for consideration. The republican
state platform is pledged to a guaran-
tee statute and Senator Vessey is
pledged to the enactment of such a
law. There is n use in lodging the
issue. The people want the state to
guarantee their deposits and the
cost of such a guarantee will be
mighty small. The occasional bust
ing of a bank in various parts of the
country keeps the people in mind that
such things will happen, and it is on
~ human that they should think of
the safety Of their own cash. It is
no reflection on the banks. The
banks want a guarantee that money
they loan will be returned in proper
time. TITS either a guarantee for
bank deposits or postal savings ban ks,
and the postal savings bank would be
a detriment to the country. Senator
Wesley stands firm on this proposition
because he believes 1t is just and he
is a banker himself.
