WHAT'S COMING TO YOU.

Nashville Americana
What's the use to worry
Or to veX your soul
Lest the merry dealer
Raise the price of coal2
Better be complacent
Just because you may
Know he will for certain
Do il anyway.
What's the use TO borrow
Trouble in advance,
Knowing it will hit you
When 1t gets a chance
Wait its grand arrival
To get truly glum;
Simple logic tells you
1t is bound to come.
Nothing gained by fretting
Or by feeling blue;
Only makes you thinner
If reports are true.
Wait until misfortune
Hands it to you straight.
You with such a prospect
Can afford to wait.
Might as well be joyful
And to sing a tune,
Knowing there is trouble
Coming pretty soon.
You can always figure
You will sure be hit.
And from every quarter
Get the worst of il.

NEW MEXICO FINE
INSURANCE FIELD
Deputy Insurance Commissioner
lineau Says No Companies Are to
Withdraw from Territory.

Deputy Insurance Commissioner
Peter M. A. Lienau, who has returned
from Denver, where he went to inspect
the condition Of the Western Life
Insurance company, previous TO its ad-
mittance to do business in New Mex
leo, to New Mexican representative
today, said he had talked with num-
Der Of fire and life insurance men and
all spoke very highly Of New Mexico
as an insurance field Mr.. Lienau
said:
This talk about fire insurance COM
panies withdrawing from New Mexico
on account OF recent heavy losses is
all bosh. The insurance companies do
ing business in this territory have no
reason to complain. According to the
figures during the past twenty-six
years there has been s2SO,O0OOOO of
fire insurance written in the territory
upon which the total premiums
amounted to $5,296,46 and during the
same period losses paid amounted to
S239S ,537, leaving a balance to credit
of the fire insurance companies above
losses paid of s2,S97,925. The New
Mexico insurance rates are lower than
Montana, Arizona. Florida, Mississippi
North Dakota, Oregon and several
other states and during the twenty-six
years this territory has furnished
500 100000 more fire insurance than
the state of Wyoming. Talk about the
heavy losses, New Mexico was never
a better field for firstclass fire insur-
ance companies than it is today. Just
think of it, the loss rate in 1907 was
only 25.7 per cent or lower than it ev.
er has been in the history of the ter
ritory with the exception of 1887 when
the loss rate was 22.3 per cent. The
people of New Mexico paid in insur-
ance premiums in 1907 $505,O for
which they received in return losses
paid only $19O,OOO, leaving a net bal.
ance gain of $375,0O0 to the credit of
the fire insurance companies.
They treated me right on my visit
to Denver, and every insurance com.
pany and the representatives of insur
ance companies who are making their
headquarters at Denver, came to see
me. They were glad to see that the
insurance department of New Mexico
is taking pains to investigate thorough.
ly every company before they allow ii
to enter the field"
Mr.. Lienau says that every life in.
surance company that enters the field
of New Mexico is gilt edge and the
citizens Of this territory who take a
policy in any Of the companies hold

and the policy is worth what it calls

ARKANSAS RAILROAD
r COMMISSION ENJoiNED

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 9.-Judge
Vandeventer in the United States cir
cult court today granted the injunc-
tion requested by the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern and three 9TH
er railroads operating in Arkansas,
against the Arkansas state railway
commission. The Injunction restrains
the commission from enforcing the
new two-cent fare law and from in.
terfering with the railroads raising
freight rates on interstate traffic. In
its oral decision the court held that
the rates proposed by the railroad
commission were unreasonable, non
compensatory and unlawful
