BY ELBERT HUBBARD.

Insurance actuaries much prefer 10
insure men who are abroad in the
world doing things than to accept
risks on women who abide in the
safety OF the home and are pro-
tected and shielded on every side
From this there is only one conclu-
sion. and that is, that to be mar
ried and keep house, and to have
an income and do nothing. are
hazardous undertakings.
II is not the dangers of Childbirth
that make women bad risk-it S
the paucity of their lives. If it were
the dangers OF motherhood. the in
surance companies would not re-
fuse women over so. but married
women. and those unmarried. who
arc provided for, are placed in the
same category
The real fact is few women.
comparatively. are admitted into
the work Of the world Woman Is
the slave of her housekeeping the
slave Of a man When she gets
married she throws UP her Job AND
in New York, # she is school
teacher her marriage Is equal to
resignation. Hence the misery that
leads TO the ether-eone. the ligs-
ture and The scalpel
And that Is the reason why llfe
Insurance companies, as rule. will
not insure the lives Of married
women The average married uom-
an has no high purpose In ltfe-.no
output for her ambition, no rock
upon which She can strike her in
tellect and cause the yelling waters
of life to flow
She has tasted Of life and found
it alkaline-all there Is for her now
is submission. She is passive
party. So the insurance actuarv.
viewing the average married wom-
an with his. cold, calculating, inan-
cial eve, declares her a hazardous
risk. and passes her up.
Give women the ballot. Ii will
help to enlarge their lives. improve
their mental and physical estate.

The Education of the
Voter
No. Cumulative; Referendum
An Easy Explanation of Some of the New
Political Terms
BY THOMAS TAPER.

The people will decide by the refer
endum
Where shall the referendum he
taken? The people will decide by
the initiative
The REFERENDUM results
when laws arc prepared by the
legislature and are submitted to
the people The INITIATIVE re-
suits when laws are prepared by
the people and submitted to the
legislature
The initiative in respect TO local
conditions is frequently adopted.
When in South Dakota. as many
as five per cent OF those who
voted for governor in the previous
election sign petition they estab-
lish right to be heard on any
question Of state LAWS.
The required number of sigma
lures TO the petition is not uni
form in the states and municipau-
tics in which the initiative is OPP
crativc. In the city of San Fran
cisco Gftecn per cent Of the votes
east at the last election are re-
CURED in the state of California,
80 per cent in Iowa, 10 per cent,
and in Nebraska, fifteen per cent.
To submit laws to the vote OF
the people is a live and important
question 1t is not a new princi-
pie in American politics in local APP
pliPation. The education of the
voter should convince him wheth-
er the initiative is 4 principle that
is capable Of expansion from a
narrow to broad application Are
The people. as a rule. fitted to give
judgment on legislative measures
TO answer the question, ask your
self,
Am I so careful a student Of POI
litiea1 questions that my opinion is
intelligently formed on any pro-
posed measure of legislation?
DO actually know anything
about it?
Do | keep in mind when vote
THE ONE GREAT MATTER
THAT AFFECTS ME- DIRECTLY
the prosperity of the country?
DO | vote with sane point of
view is to property protection. to
the purpose Of taxa ton, and so on
Between the man who thinks
upon the right of the franchise in
this way and the man who crimi-
nally disposes of his vote for a
price stretches the whole range OF
voting intelligence.
All the conditions that may sur
round us as q people depend on
whether the voter is intelligent
and responsible Let him be a re-
former in the truest sense of the
word.
Let BIN also remember that
many writer's and papers are in
clined to regard the reformer -
working heaven and earth in his
own intere st.
This is the right and proper
thing 10 do if, at the same time,
his interest is the greatest good to
the greatest number.

IT is important for the citizens
Of republic to know some
thing about it's government
If YOU help to elect those who
make laws, you are in part rcspon-
sible for the result.
our form of government that of
republic, recognizes The people
themselves as the source of power.
Reading The daily paper of late
YOU have come upon number of
new words which spring out of the
political situation Of the day. These
words are Initiative, Referendum,
Preferential Primary. The Recall,
and the like What do they all
mean?
Keep in mind the fact that the
Federal Constitution does not es
sentially take precedence over
State Constitutions. In fact one
supplements the other Also keep
it in mind that a Constitution is
always th@ result of progressive
history This fact, progressive
history. made it necessary TO add
fifteen amendments to the Consti
tuition of the United States. There
is one further thing to remember:
History is progressing now, in 1872,
and it will keep on progressing. or
misfortune will swallow us up.
H.
The words Initiative and Refer
endum do not occur in the Fedelal
Constitution But in Article Of
the Amendments it is stated that
Congress shall make no law pro-
hibiting the right of the people to
petition the Government for re-
dress of grievances II is import
ant to remember this petitioning
right of'the people,
In politics. the words Initiative
and Referendum are frequently
used together The Referendum
is nothing new. and We shall see.
The word Initiative in this con
nection refers to the right of he
people. of YOU as an individual
voter to initiate, or start, or OF
iginate legislation. Any petition
on the part OF the people-you are
one OF them for the passing Of
desirable law is the Initiative.
The Incorporation of this principle
into practice has been brought
about in South Dakota, Iowa, Ne
hfaeI.. and California
Local application of the initia-
tive has long been known. When
the people of town frame a pet
tition to open up new street and
present il with sufficient sigma
lures to the town fathers they
have awaited of this privilege. Often
d governing body refers ques-
ton to the people. This is the
Referendum, The whole gist Of
the matter has been successfully put
by Dr. Ol@rhozer in his treatise on
the Referendum
Shall the law, he says, which has
been passed by the state legisla
ture apply to particular localitN?

a GREAT life insurance compa-
~ ny. whose actuaries have
more than a national rcpu
tation for souudness of reasoning,
has recently given it's agents some
instructions on insuring the lives
of women ! quote:
Whereas, this company has not
heretofore thought best to insure
the lives of women, it is now ac-
ceptable for you to secure applica-
tions for policies from women as
follows:
Il. Accept applications only
from women in business or from
wage-earning women who have
people dependent on them
- DO not accept women with an
income that IS not derived from
their own property"
From this / assume that these
hard headed actuaries, who elimi-
nate galiautry, poetry aud seuti-
ment from their calculations, re-
gard married women ana women
who have things provided for them
as uncertain propositions to insure
Wage earning women are rea-
sonably happy steady systemat-

potent man or woman is a good
moral and financial risk.

herself. and it is exactly the same
with a woman who lives on the
bounty provided by either a live
man or a dead one.

know no reason why intelligent
beings might not be so constituted
as to live in such an atmosphere.
Then. suppose another Prometheus
