a provision. From the first the
project has had the hearty indorse-
ment of both capital and labor.
such a plan as the one in ques-
tion," says NJ. Douglas, ''helps to
prove, if successfully carried out,
that the best condition of the work
ers can be brought about under
what some are pleased to call the
capitalstic system, and that it is
foolish to endeavor to overturn So
ciety as at present constituted for
the purpose of trying schemes tho
results of which no one could fore
tell"
Louis ID. Brandels makes another
valuable point THE American
spirit, he says, demands that pro-
vision for the workingman's future
be made through his own efforts to
secure a wage sufficiently large to
leave a surplus applicable to such i
purpose" meaning the payment of
moderate premiums, "and to the de-
velopment on his part of strength
of character and self-cOntrol, which
shall induce him voluntarily SO to
apply it." Organized labor has vel
coined the law; in fact, its leaders
did much to secure its passage
through the Legislature.
Men and women who are genu-
inely interested in the development
of self-dependence among American
workmen viii follow the develop
ment of this new idea with the
keenest interest.

A Departure in Insurance.

The savings bank of which ex-
Governor Douglas, of Massachu-
sets, is president, the Peoples
Bank of Brockton, is to be the first
to try a very interesting expert
ment in life insurance, for which
the State Legislature provided last
year. This law, in brief. permits
savings banks to establish insur-
ance departments for the benefit of
depositors, and to issue policies for
not more than $500, excluding
profits and dividends, and to make
annuity contracts not to exceed
5000 year.
The premiums are to he maid
either at the banks or at other
designated places. There are to be
no agents or collectors-an item
that makes for economy. What
profits may accrue in the savinos
department over and above a stated
surplus are to be divided equitablv
among the annuitants and policy
holders. After six months pre-
miums have been paid a policy be-
comes nOn-forfeitable.
The beneiciaries under this act
must be residents of the State. The
banks undertaking this work are to
furnish guarantee funds, and there
is also provision for a general
guarantee fund in case the demands
of any one bank become extraordi-
nary. The board of trustees, which
will have general supervision of the
savings insurance business, has
been appointed by Governor Guild,
and the State aetuary is getting
his tables into shape.
So Massachusetts becomes the
pioneer in a field that promises
much good to the workingman. For
the main purpose of this new law
is to give the nottingham an op-
lportunity to provide for himself
and his family, and at the same
time not to feel the burden Of such

vincing. The other members OF the cast
gaze him fair support
For startling mechanical eHects the

the act also included some clever

The s'InterIude' of Mae Melville and
