WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS SAY

Insurance Commissioner VIM. H
Hotchkiss Of New York, chairman Of
the executive committee Of the Ma
tional Convention of Insurance Com.
missioners, prior to the last Head
Camp Of the Modern Woodmen OF
America, gave the following official
notice to that society:
Pursuant to action of the national
convention Of state insurance commits
sioners, at its adjourned session In
December last, I write you this ex-
preston Of views as to the necessity
Of your order-as we'll as all other
fraternal benefit Notwithstanding
itself on firm foundation as to rates.
An insurance society which in these
days does not recognize that the cost
Of insurance is fixed by laws other
than mans laws-namely, the laws Of
nature-or prescribes for its men,
bers either flat rate, irrespective Of
the age Of its members, or any other
rate that is not scientifically safe, is
deceiving both itself and its members
and approaching the time-perhaps
slowly, but not the less surely
when it must fail and its contracts be
repudiated. The fraternal spirit is a
good thing: but the rates and man
agement Of fraternal societies must
also be such that the benef1ciaries Of
the last member to die will receive
every dollar that such members GER
tif1cate calls for"
State Insurance Commissioner
Ekern of Wisconsin has issued an Of
fetal interview in which he says:
"Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on a sound basis.
This means a re-rating for nearly ev-
cry society. and members who do not
fully understand the situation are
often inclined to complain of in
creases in their rates. They should
understand that with re-rating on
a sound basis they have much more
valuable insurance than before. All
are benefited by getting a permanent
insurance for what was uncertain be-
fore. The Modern Woodmen Of Amer
lea, by reason Of it's long experience
with large membership, Is permitted
to make a rate upon it's own expert
ence, which is even lower than that
based on the National Fraternal Con-
gress table, which new societies must
adopt. The cost Of this insurance is
not a matter Of mortality tables or
rates charged, but depends upon the
actual deaths in the society. A re-
rating merely means that each men,
Der shall pay his real share Of that
cost. Members who think of drop
ping their insurance will do we'll to
take enough time to study the ques-
ton before doing anything which may
bring regret to both themselves and
their families"
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
1T is unpleasant for the members
Of the Modern Woodmen Society to
have to pay more for their insurance,
but let them think how much more UNI
pleasant it would be for those 5,000,-
boo women and children, or any Of
them, to be deprived Of that protec-
tion because their husbands or faith
ers got angry That is what all Wood
men should think about"

HARD-WoRKING SWISS DOGS
They Arc Used az Draft Animate
and Are Not Always Well
a. Treated.

An amended law for the prevention
of cruelty to animals, such as that
which came into force in England on
New Years day, is much needed in
Switzerland. Not that the Swiss as q
nation are cruel to animals, one Of
the best proofs of which is the mum.
Der of sleek cats about. For when
people have learned to be kind to cats
they have generally learned to be
fairly kind to animals in general.
But, whether from thoughtlessness OF
some other cause, there is good deal
to be desired in the way draft dogs
are treated in Switzerland. Dogs, as
every visitor to the country must
have observed, are still employed
there for drawing or helping to draw
all kinds of light carts. Most milk.
men and bakers. employ dogs when
taking around milk or bread. Butch.
ers and vegetable fruit sellers also
use. them. These dogs are, Of course,
all of strong build, but of very differ.

ployed being of the st. Bernard or
mast1f race. On market day the
streets Of Berne are full of them.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Badness Is too Generally Considered
a Sign of Advanced Ago.

A headed person does not have an
equal chance with one blessed with
healthy head of hair, because badness is
too generally accepted as an indication of
age. Many large corporations have es-
tablished an age limit, and refuse to take
men over IS years OF age as new employ
eeS.
Probably IS per cent Of baldheaded
people may regain good head ofhealthy
hair If they will follow our advice and &C
cept our offer. We have remedy that
we positively guarantee to grow hair on
any head, unless the roots OF the hair are
entirely dead, their folicles closed, and
the scalp has become glazed and shiny.

unless it does exactly what we claim il
viii, land gives satisfaction in every respect,
We shall make no charge for the remedy

mere asking There is no formality ex-
pected, and we exact no obligation from
the user whatever.

full understanding that our business sue
cess entirely depends upon the sort OF
treatment we accord our customers, and

THE Hon. Sam " Woods, OF Philippi,
Barbour county, has announced his in
tention OF making fight for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor of West
Virginia. Mr.. Woods has received many
appeals from Democrats all over the
State TO make this contest, and he has
finally yielded to the pressure and made
formal announcement. We know of no
man who would fill this office more &C
ceptably. Clean, able, straightforward,
level-headed and honest, he would make
an ideal Governor if he should be elect
ed-an executive of whom all the people,
irrespective of party, could well be proud.
If the wonderful run he made in 1910,
when he was elected State Senator over
Fred Blue. the ablest and most popular
Republican in an overwhelmingly Repub-
lican district, is an indication OF his ability
as vote-getter, there need be but little
anxiety as to his campaign. In view Of
the sort OF material selected by the Re-
publican bosses of West Virginia to head
their ticket, the rank and file ofthat party,
as well as Democrats all over the State,
ought to regard the candidacy of Mr..
Woods with grea; favor. He is worthy
the support OF every voter in the State
who has spark of patriotism, for his
dignity and fairness and ability places
him above the ordinary level of PARTISAN
ship.
If nominations for Governor should
close right now, the State and the party
would have no cause for regret.

AS the days are passing, the probable
ity that President TAFT will be renomi-
mated becomes fainter. 1t is regarded as
certainty that he cannot be elected for
another term il he is put up, and the party
leaders do not relish the idea OF sure de-
feat. The only real sentiment Tor Mr..
Taft IS among the federal offlce-holders
and those dependent upon him for per-
sonal advantage, dnd even these are be-
ginning to weaken. 1t looks as if Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be called upon to
help his party in its present extremity,
though it is very doubtful ii he can save
it. HIS candidacy would, OF course,
ALLEVIATE entirely President Taft, who re-
sents the suggestion that Colonel RooSe-
welt is the only hope OF the Republicans.
There is little hope and little harmony in
