this the better for the work.
1t is necessary to have some one OF
experience to study the whole prob
lem, thoroughly know the Conditions
as to how, where and by whom the
law is violated and understanding the
whole situation to devise plans to
meet the state wide need, then mar
shall the forces to execute and carry
out the plans.
l believe l have a plan that will in
a practical way solve the whole prob
lem. This plan has been tried out in
what was the most wide open part OF
the state and the most defiant to our
liquor laws, and proved successful.
/ have worked over and perfected
the plan and with the cooperation of
business men in each locality who are
interested, will become mighty wea'
pom that the blind pigger, gambler
and prostitutes cannot escape.
Our letter published recently in the
daily and weekly papers gives instruc-
tons as to the first part of the pro-
gram. We want self appointed vigi-
lance committees in every town to
get full knowledge of every person
and place violating these laws. With
this information We can deal with
counties rather than with towns. l
want to make the county the unit
with which the North Dakota En-
forcement league deals and with the
information coming from the vigl-
lance committees of each town and
the 100 to 300 men composing the
committees in a county back OF this
movement, I then have several meth
DDS of procedure that must bring
things to pass.
Do not get impatient for action.
Do thorough work in your vigilance
committee. Some committees are do
ing business.
One began work about June 5 dug
up infomation about IS places and
persons with inside knowledge about
each and other good reports have
come in. I will enlarge the letter
of instruction and have it republished
in the dailies of the state Aug. 10th,
as this is very important. Cut the
letter out and follow it carefully.
We are indebted to the newspapers
of the state for this kindly assistance
in the work. It enables us to reach
the public in a way otherwise impos-
sible. You can see how large is the
task and how impossible for one or
a few to accomplish it. 1t will re-
quire hard Thoughtful work. There
must be money to meet office and
travelling expenses and pay salaries.
Mr.. w. J. Arnold, field secretary, is

ALL ENDORSE RACHEL

This Is letter from Zealand
Powers, Americas foremost reader:
my Dear Ratchet: Let me express
to you the pleasure l received from
your reading of the "The Music Mas
ter" last evening. It was admirably
done. Your representation of Herr
Barwig himself. was one of the best
things I have seen in many day.
1t was rare. It's simplicity, it's dis
tinction, its pathos and its power
made it work of noble art; and then
it was all so lovingly human and real.
When l hear a thing we'll done like
that want everybody to hear it.
With thanks and hearty wishes.
am faitkfully,-Lealand Powers"
A letter from Miss Remington of
the Library Board of Winnebago
says:
Il do want to express to you under
request of the Board and all who
heard you the appreciation of your
splendid rendering of "The Music
Master" 1t was sublime. MANY
said that they hoped that you would
not Judge by the applause of the
pleasure of their appreciation, be-
cause they scarcely cared to express
it that way. They were too touched
to feel that it could be shown in that
noisy manner. 1t would have been
like applauding the Lords Prayer.
You may be glad to know that we
consider it the best thing we have
ever heard"

DEPT. OF INSURANCE
FURNISHES GOOD data
wv. C. Taylor, COMMISSIONER.

Very gratifying to the people of this
state were the returns OF the later TED
eral census with respect to, the mar
velous growth of North Dakota's pop,
ulation. During the ten-year PERIOD
between 1900 and 1910 the increase IN
incubation was no less than 8O.S per
cent. That the growth of our state
in other directions in railway build
ing, in crop production, in the increase
of herds and flocks, in the develop
ment Of the natural resources with
which North Dakota is so abundantly
blessed-has kept pace with the growth
in population there is no reason to
doubt.
Concerning one of our greatest en-
terprises, however, and one IN wmcn
the people of North Dakota are
peculiarly and vitality interested, there
is a remarkable lack of general lntor-
nation. How many are aware OF the
fact that the regular life insurance CON-
panies and the fraternal beneficiary as
sociations operating in this state had,
on the 3lst of December, 1910, assum-
ed risks upon the lives of our citizens
amounting to the stupendous sum OF
l37 millions of dollars? During 1910
these companies paid out in the way OF
death claims in this state nearly nine
hundred thousand dollars. An i'm
mense sum was returned to policy
holders in the way of dividends, en-
dowments, annuities, etc. Large sums
were also distributed in the way OF
loans to policy holders.
During the year 1910 foreign" fire
insurance companies assumed risks up
on real and personal property in this
state of S99, 979, 1920, and paid losses
to the amount of 81, 1871 ,44.01. State
mutual fire companies assumed risks
a an to $217 ?d ii77S: @'o cc"nty
mutuals wrote insurance to the amount
of $12, 084, 295.O7, and their loss &C
count footed up to $61 1920. Hail in.
surance risks totaled SIT 1863, 843, and
the losses paid aggregated $3.50, 859.O5:
The aggregate risks assumed by all OF
the companies fire, hail, miscel-
laneous, etc.-doing business in this
state in 1910 were no less than $2l2 >
162, 87O05, while the losses paid by
these companies during the same per
iod reached the tidy sum of 81, u.s.
252.09. In addition thereto these COM
panies contributed to the running ex-
penses' of the state government, in the
way of fees and taxes, $l39 ?8o.13. >,
This department points with PRIDE
to the fact that the expansion of the
insurance business in this state during
the past ten years has fully kept pace
with the growth in population and the
development in other directions. The
following tables tell the story. 1t is
interesting to note that the percentage
of increase in the number of companies
of all kinds operating in the state in
1910 over the number of authorized
companies in 1900 was just a fraction
in excess of the percentage of in
crease in population for the same per-
iod. In the matter of receipts cover
ing fees and taxes the percentage of
increase is overwhelming.
Authorized Companies.
