lieve the business Of life insurance to be
the first business in America. and there
fore the first man of the nation, being a
believer and advocate OF life insurance
should be associated with 1t in capacity
other than a policy holder.
Third-Insurance Legislation. Under this
man, the business, and the interests of the
policy holders, would be beyond the con-
tinual abuse Of nl-informed politicians and
over-anxious and slurring yellow journals.
The continued argument and effort to have
life insurance declared interstate COM
merce could be disposed of expediously,
by Mr.. Roosevelt becoming one of COM
mittee to draft a code of laws for the Dis
trict OF Columbia, with the suggestion
that when the law was enacted, that other
states copy and put in effect similar
law. Change in our constitution would not
be necessary as is now claimed, the great
problem now facing companies as to what
freak state legislatures will do In the fu-
ture would be solved to q great extent
and many existing discriminating state
laws now In force would be repealed and
the great work continued unhRmpered,
with time alone to solve the cost Of tnsur-
ance in either mutual or stock legal re-
serve companies. and assessment insurance
and other unscientitic plans would grad
ually wear out and be eliminated.

financial and social welfare, and so re-
sponsibe has II become to the solid bust
ness in their respective communities
throughout the United States, that instead
of being looked at doubtfully and with
fear, as it was but a generation ago, it
is now but a short time when life insurance
will be demanded not by part as at pres
emit, but by every bank and business con-
Germ as a busine asset, as protection by
every woman, and by every father Of his
son and son-in-law.
Statistics show that no agency is so
great in the adjustment of poverty and
crime, or so great for the upbulld and bet
terment of social conditions everywhere.
Life insurance is the strongest instrumen-
tally for the equalization OF i'll fortune,
and there Is not a hamlet or village in
the United States but what has felt its
benefits either directly or indirectly. Some
say the golden age" of life insurance has
passed, but we say that 1t is yet to come.
The great economic value OF life insurance
is apparent on every side. and even though
It enters every phase OF social and finan-
cial business life, the business as to its
possible magnitude is stll in its infancy.
Could this great citizen in any other way
serve the public in such a beneficient, I'M
selfish or more philanthropic end7
We don't believe that stronger argument
could be offered for any of the many posi-
tons suggested for our ex-president.

LovE-HASKELL COMPANY BUSY
Successor to the Brennan-LOve Com
pany il Doing Extensive
Business.

The Love-Haskell company several
months ago succeeded to the business of
the Brennan-Love company, which was
one of the oldest and largest insurance con-
Germs in this section. At the present time
they manage quite a territory, represent
ing companies in every known line of in
surance. Any one placing business with
this agency can secure every kind of in
surance without going out of their office,
The extensive facilities of this concern
are a great advantage to large insurers
who require the expert advice and ade-
quate protection which is only obtainable
in an office thoroughly equipped to meet
all demands
Mr. Love is one of the old timers in the
insurance business in Nebraska, having
been actively engaged in that business in
Omaha for over twenty-five years. During
this time he has held nearly every possible
position in the insurance field. About ten
years ago he organized the State Insurance
Company Of Nebraska, which is a sue
cessful institution doing business in eleven
states. All the capital OF this company is
owned by Nebraska people.
Mr. Haskell was born and brought up in
Omaha and has been In the insurance bust
ness for the last eight years. He has the
active management OF the Omaha business

ment Of electrolytic processes, together
with improved methods Of making carbon

The National Fire Protective association

information about the new extinguisher:

To accomplish this purpose, we therefore

largest mutual company in the world, and

our reasons for this suggestion. and will

Suggestions for Prevention of Fire Loss

people, individually and collectively, would
give heed to proper rules for the construc-
ton and care of their property.
Much interest is being shown just now
in the subject of fire prevention by the
public schools of the county In several
states provision has been made for the in
clusion Of lessons in fire waste fire pre-
vention and the ordinary fire hazards In
the course Of study, while some states
have set apart one afternoon each year as
fire day." when public exercises are held,
with essays, discussions, fire drills and
talks by firemen and insurance agents. 1t
is certain that the American public re-
quires education in the matter of the fire
waste, most of which is due to careless
ness, and this education can very well be-
gin in the schools so that the younger
generation will understand it, with the
assurance that the children will carry
home with them what they have learned
and the matter will become a subject of
discussion about the family fireside.
In Germany the average annual fire loss
is about one-tenth OF what 1t is in the
United States. Much OF this is due TO the
greater sense of personal responsibility for
fires encouraged by the German laws and
such education methods. Similar action in

this country would greatly reduce the fire
waste and also the cost Of insurance.
In our own city much could be done TO
reduce the fire waste. Citizens should have
both a selfish and public spirited interest
in cooperating in the work OF reducing
the fire waste of the country. Their sell
fish reason should be the securing of lower
insurance rates and material savings can
be effected by the exercise Of ordinary
care, the removal of rubbish and minor
changes. Besides the lower rates. these
improvements protect life and property
by lessening the likelihood OF starting fires
and of having them communicated from
one building to another.
The per capita fire loss in the United
States is almost 50 a year. II each citizens
responsibility could be brought home TO
him by having a collector come around
once year and ask him for 81 for each
member OF his family, as their share in
the national carelessness, It might wake
him up to an appreciation of his RESPONSE
bility. Every man can help by being care
full about his own premises and then seeing
that the community has proper building
laws, adequate fire protection and a fire
warden to enforce proper conditions for
the general good
ment' and good work IL done with the
present apparatus and facilities.
