TAKING A CHANCE ON Death
HOW LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE AnLE no FIGURE

I charge In the premiums collected an
extra amount to meet any unexpected

amount. More frequently than not is
found that such precautions were un.
necessary. but this merely means that
the money is available for increasing
tho bonus. reducing the premiums, or
for STRENGTHENING the reserve.
While the management expenses OF
eacn company must obviously vary nc.
cordtng to the class and magnitude Of
the business transacted. and also the
financial and administrative ability Of
the directors and officers. It remains
true that the sources of pront are
practically h same. the amount OF
interest earned on the accumulated
funds available for Investment, by the
working expenses being below what
have been estimated and provided for;
BY n death rate being below the CAL
culated percentage: by the .lapsins and
surrender OF a certain proportion Of
the contracts.
AS regards the policies, lapsing. this

render value of the policy as security.
Many people suppose that the com.
Pantes' interest Is to see policies lapse.
They do. OF course make a profit out
OF the lapses. but that Is not always
very substantial, certainly not when
the lapse occurs within two or three
years of the issuance Of the policy.
Tor the expense Of securing the bust.
ness. commission, ETC., does no. leave
much margin.
When the premiums have been paid
for a considerable time a policy need
not be allowed TO lapse, for its holder
can claim a surrender value, which
varies from a third to half Of the total
premiums paid. OF course, the terms
onered by the various companies Diff

payment OF premiums. One Of the
most valuable features Of insurance IA
that the companies are usually able

Says TAFT VIM Win.

A republican headquarters in
New York things are looking much
better" said Alvah Martin Of Rich
mono, republican national committee.
man from Virginia and a member Of
the executive committee of the "a
tional committee.
y have been spending the best part
I could. and I am happy to say that
we have every reason to feel greatly
encouraged by the reports that have
been received Of late. This is tho
whole situation: The republicans are
facing the issue-so plain that any
M who runs may read-that in the
November election the voters are to
vote for a continuation OF the protec-
tive policy under which this country
which. in the years It wa in opera
ton brought about panics and hard
times. The sober. second thought Of
tho people Is going to bring them to
that point where they will vote to
continue the policy of protection.
The progressive leaders and Mr..
new party is for protection, vet the
fact is patent to any one that with
out Roosevelt the new party would
die Of hamilton. The republican
party. represented by Mr.. Taft, ia the
protective party, and the democratic
party. represented by Mr.. Wilson. the
free trade party. A vote for Roose-
welt is q vote for Wilson. ana the peo-
pie are beginning gradually to realize
this. 4 am confident, from the healthy
change that has become manifest,
that Taft Will win.
TN New York the situation is very
encouraging. The progressives have
named their ticket; the republicans
and democrats have yet to name
theirs. I am sure I do not know who
will be nominated by the republicans.
The men most frequently mentioned
are James w. Wadsworth. Jr., former
Representative Bennett. and Job He'd
ges. I do not think the leaders favor
any man in particular. The conven-
ton will probably thrash out the mat.
ter and nominate the best man, and
then will come a hard fight, no
doubt"

 This is the money the state tried to se- cure at the last session for furnishing the capitol but instead it was made heir to the federal furnishings in the capitol. The text of the item is not known here but unless there is some special provision the money will prob ably lie idle until the meeting of the state legislature when it will doubtless be dropped into the general fund.
