The married woman in society is
one of the worst risks in life Insurance
she eats too much. drinks too much,
keeps too late hours and makes her
life burden by social Worries She is
worse risk than the department. store
girl who stands on her feet all day
and these saleswomen usually either
marry or die young"
Dr.. f. J. Spratling, head of the med
zeal department of the Empire Life In
surance Company, made this statement
today DR. Spratling has just returned
from the American life insurance con-
vention in Chicago. where he delivered
an address on Women as Insurance
Risks"
Among housewives the orthodox
Jewish woman in middle age is the
best, She is inherently and re}igiouslv
clean; she takes her religion naturally
and doesn't worry over it. The middle
class housewife among the Christians.
while not so good a risk as among the
Jewish women, is fair and ranks with
the better class of working girl"
Women are not sucl dangerous risks
as is generally supposed according to
ID. Sprating. He has been appointed
chairman of the associations medical
examination committee ana more COM
plete statistics on the various classes Of
risks will be compiled by this depart
ment
Wary of Policies For Husbands.
While not all of the confreres agreed
with me- says DR.. Spratling, my con-
clusion is that a woman is a very good
moral risk, especially when she insures
her life for her minor childreA
do you know that life insurance
companies go very slow in insuring a
woman when the application Is taken
out with her husband as the benef-
ciary? 1t may be a startling thing but
numbers Of men win insure their wives
when they see them begin TO get in bad
health So when the application of the
woman states that the policy is to be
made out in favor of her husband WEE
make very careful examination be
fore we accept her"
In discussing the various risks amoae
women, the conclusion was reached
that the milliner is the best risk among
women applicants and the itch married
woman, especially during the first five
years Of her married life, the very
poorest, except for factory hands, house
servants and the poverty stricken house
wives Of the large cities.
The work Of MILNE is among
pleasant surroundings. her hours are
regular, and then there is enough art in
her work to keep her in the right frame
of mind is d. Spratling's explanation
Of this conclusion.

The genius merely does what you
Had done could you have found the
way;
Although his method may be new,
The need has been since Adams day;
The marvel that excites the king
May set the pauper wandering;
The poet merely says the thing
That you have thought but could not
say.
The hero merely does the deed
That you had done if you had dared;
The leader is not born to lead,
But with the wish to be prepared;
The outcast, moaning in the rain,
Looks back along the years in vain;
You might have joined him, to COM

A president at the close OF his first,
term is usually renominated. A second
term is conceded to him if he wants it.
Nearly always he wants it. Generally
he is entitled to it. No president
ought to seek a denomination unless
confident of reelection. Defeat would
not only be a personal humiliation for
him, but it would be disastrous blow
to his party.
No president ought to seek a renomi-
nation unless we'll assured of re-elec-
ton. He should feel convinced that he
offered mis- party it's strongest candi-
dates. If he sincerely felt that any
other candidate would be stronger, it
would be his bounden duty to say so,
perhaps to suggest a successor, and
then to retire or his laurels. He owes
this to the party that gave him its
highest honor and intrusted the
countrys welfare to his hands.
President Taft has not said that he
desires a denomination. He is adverse
to having anything to do with politics.
He does not regard it as dignifed. h
does not seek or follow the advice OF
political leaders. He does not regard
his party's platform as his guide. He
has ideas. purposes and policies of his
own.
He is willing to remain in the hands
of his friends and to take their judg
ment as to his denomination. They de
sire to have him head the ticket again
According to all precedents, the repub
lican national convention will do wha
it has done so many times before
give the president a denomination for ;
second term. So, if he wants it, in al
probability he can have it. The judg
ment of his friends will be regarded a
his own.
If President Taft accepts a renomi
nation, he win have to lead the fight d
the polls. 1t will not be a holiday. l
will mean hard work. It will be
struggle between the two great polti
cal parties unparalleled in intensit
since the close of the civil war. TIL
democratic party is in better shape t
make the fight than it ever has beer
while the republican party has disclose
elements of weakness that would hav
been laughed at four years ago.
1t will be Taft's battle 1t will /
his victory if he wins 1t will be h
defeatif he loses. Worse than that,
will be the defeat of his party for Il
first time in two decades, and this ms
mean its retirement from government

Gold Dredging.

The recovery of placer gold by i'm
proved dredging methods has come to
be an important factor in the total
gold production of the country. Cali
fornia is much the largest producer by
these methods. In 1910, according to
figures compiled by H, D. McCaskey,
of the United States Geological Survey,
the total domestic production of gold
by dredges was S9,293, LOG, which was
an increase of $500, 726 over the figures
for 1909. The production of California
increased proportionately and was
ST, $50, 254, compared with 81, SS2, $50 in
