The World News
Briefly Told

Reports made by banks of the Pa
cific Northwest, in response to the
call of the comptroller of the cur
rency, last week, show that they are
in exceptionally good condition
Since the former call, Seattle banks
have increased their deposits more
than 100000. Other cities make
a similarly strong showing. There is
every reason to believe that the pres
ent year is going to be very active.
Were 1t not for the presidential cam
palgn. there would be no holding
back of investments. The election
should really not interfere, as it
makes no difference, in the long run,
from an investment standpoint.

BIG FORTUNE WELL HANDLED
Millions Left by tho Late Russell Sage
Are Being Expended for the Wei
fare Of Humanity.

While the late Russell Sage was IN
the flesh he was one Of the most pru'
dent, shrewd and persistent money
grubbers in Gotham. The .astute hnan-
cier never plunged nor risked any
money in wildcat schemes. He was
"sure-shot" operator in Wall street,
and when he died he left In the hands
of his lone widow a fortune OF some
thing like $75,0O0.000. Since becom-
ing possessed of this enormous for
tune she has worked as persistently
and assiduously in scattering the
money as her husband did In gather
ing it. The scriptures tell us that
the miser Is the man that heaps up
riches and cannot tell who shall gath
er them" Russell Sage knew better,
and the good lady upon whose shout
ders was imposed the burden OF this
enormous sum of money has worked
hard in tightening the burden. Her
philanthropies have been productive
Of as much wisdom as marked her
husbands operations In the market.
She is reported to be failing in health,
and her task is only begun. Should
she be taken from the world, thou
sands will regret her departure, and
1t Is very earnestly to be hoped that
further care of the property will fall
into good hands.

CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost Of tuberculosis and otner Pre-
ventabIe Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.


While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find method for
reducing the cost of life insurance.
Prof. James w. Glover OF the Uni
versity of Michigan demonstrates that
every policyholder of a $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $50 year on his premiums II
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. Tuberculosis alone causes
loss to such a policy holder of from
$3.50 at twenty to $3.50 at the age
OF sixty. At age of twenty. with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
iosis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation of life by
two years and 1853 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis says that the combined
effort Of every man, woman and child
is necessary to bring about a radical
reduction In life insurance rates such
as Professor Glover has indicated.
