New York, Sept. s.-The horse is
coming back. In all sections of New
York, especially on Broadway and Fifth
avenue the horse-drawn vehicle, public
and private, is coming into its own
again. The novelty of the automobile
is wearing off along with the price and
people who ride for pleasure are turn
ing back to man S tried and true equine
friends.
With the horse the hanson cab is
coming into favor again, and they may
be seen now in large numbers before
all the big hotels and at the public
hack stands. Five times as many horse
cabs are in evidence now in New York
as were used even such a short time
as a year ago. Women shoppers espe-
cially seem to prefer them to auto
mobiles, and pleasure drivers in Central
park and on Riverside drive now use
horse vehicles more than formerly.
There are not so many horses to be
seen as before the days of the motor,
of course, and there never will be again,
but the automobile as a recreation We
hicle is steadily giving ground to the
horse.

Premiums and Policies

The published reports of life insur-
ance companies in Canada and the
United States show that sum in eX-
cess of $625, 100000 was distributed
by these organizations during the
year 1912, but the public would like
to know what the receipts on prem
iums have been and also how these
receipts were expended.
The general impression prevails
that life insurance, in fact insurance
of all sorts, costs too much, and that
this cost could be greatly reduced if
insurance were made state business.
What are known as the "old line"
companies are patronized because OF
the belief the public has in their sta
bility, but they can hardly claim to be
more safe or staple than the state,
and if plan of life insurance with
premiums less than and security at
least equal to the old line companies
were submitted to the people there is
little doubt but that many more than
at present would avail themselves of
the benefit of insurance.
The subject of insurance has been
considered and discussed by Hon.
Arthur l. Vorys in an article pub
lished in Cease and Comment"
legal magazine, and he states that
one item alone, the item of costs and
fees paid by insurance companies in
1912 for the privilege of doing bust
ness was over $25, 200, 900, and that
this vast sum was paid by the policy
holders. But that is only one item,
and not the greatest. The expenses of
operation must necessarily run into a
fabulous sum considering the number
of presidents, vice presidents, mana
gers, submanagers, clerks, agents
and collectors engaged in the insur-
ance business, and for this also the
polcyholder has to pay.
No doubt the $625, 900, 900 paid out
in one year is great sum of money
and must necessarily have brought
welcome relief to many, but the ques-
ton still remains, how much were the
receipts, and how much was expended
outside the payments on the policies,
and what were the objects of the ex-
penditure?

Defeat of Budget Plan

As was anticipated, the House of
Representatives has voted down the
budget proposition of the majority
leaders. Mr.. Underwood long ago
sounded warning that the present
system of appropriations was unbusi-
ness-like and that the governments S
expenditures could never be properly
controlled until some means was de-
vised for the compilation of prelim-
mary budget which could be rigidly
adhered to.
No great business concern can make
expenditures in haphazard fashion. To
have some sort of limit is the only
business-like way. No doubt the great
majority Of congressman realize this
but the temptation to secure what
they can from the public treasury is
too great and they feared they would
not have the same opprtunity before a
budget committee as they have under
the present system.
The defeat of the leaders on this
proposition is sure to be only tenn
porary.

The Contented Woman

Advocates of female suffrage have
expressed the opinion in Birmingham
that one of the gravest obstacles in
their struggle for the ballot is the
contented woman.
If, as is suggested, before equal
suffrage can obtain in Alabama, it
will be necessary for the agitators of
that propaganda to make the con-
tented woman, the~>> discontented
woman, there is little question but
that mere man will interpose.
1t is unquestionably true, as has
been contended, that if all the women
of this state were united under the
banner of the suffragists, the object
which lies close to their hearts, would
be obtained. 1t would be a serious
blow to their cause, however, should
they proceed in the hope of final VIC
tory on general plan of making the
woman who is satisfied with her
home and in the work of her home,
dissatisfied.
In a political movement having for
its object any drastic change in condi-
tions, it is some times exceedingly
difficult to avoid the commission of
serious blunders. For instance, when
a suffragette threw her life away
under the hoofs of the kings horse,
men inwardly wondered whether or
not that act was indicative of what
might occur should the English women
be permitted to vote. And in Ala
bama, it is natural to presume that
should the members of an equal suf-
frage organization wage warfare
against the contented woman, men
would fear the consequence of their
own action should they determine to
grant the agitators their wish.
The contented woman, contrary to
the belief of many of those members
of her sex who desire to vote, is in
telligent, highly intelligent; has con-
