MORALS BY EVOLUTION

Wha, seems to be a new point
 oG view is brought forward by an insurance company in refusing to pay a policy of S5,0OJ written on
 the lie of married man who was shot to death by his "artmtty."
 The contention of the company is that this man knew, or should have known, he had placed his life in danger and that in withholding knowledge of the sacE he committed
 fraud which invalidateL the iusur- Iuce contract. He naI answered in
 the negative the question put to him by the company: Are you en- gaged in any hazardous uuder-ok-
 ing?"
 For years there has Eecu wagej
 in this country a most determined war upon drinking and gambling. But very little real hcadw0y was made against these evils until em- pIoyers began to demand that they be summed by the men in their ser
 vice and pay. Known gamblers are no longer tolerated iu work which gives access to money or the means to get it The drinking man is no l longer wanted in business and the industries. Daily tho competition !. Of modern life is making soJriety :. and freedom from the gaming mania
 more essential in the caruiug of u living.
 Is it not possible that something . of the same nature is about to take . place In respect to the sex immoral tics of men? Is it not conceivable that the example set by this iusur- ancs company will Eo followed by . others and a start thus be made in providing severe penalties for viola ton of the moral code affecting the relations between mon and women,
 which, even though they may be outside Inc law, are automatic and cannot be eyaded?
 There is much wisdom and sound philosophy in She bomeIy old saying. Don't worry; it will all come out in the wasb.7
