Not to DO So.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-John Hays
Hammond, president of the National
Republican League gave out state

thousands have been flowing into the
league from all parts OF the country.
When the vast enrolment was shown

able or commemorate Tor college men

putable authority. Edwin S. Harris.
Democratic state chairman OF New
York, Analysing the primary results,
has publicly announced that Judge
Seabury is 100000 votes stronger In
this state than President Wilson.
Judge Seabury is the Democratic can
dIdate for governor.
Mr.. HarrIs's statement caused an
acute shock to the Democratic man
ayers and they urged upon him that II
was bad politics" to say this publicly.
He refused, however. to amend his
statement.
OF course, the Democratic managers
realize that Mr.. Harriss statement Is
tantamount to declaring that Mr.. VIII
son cannot carry New York, and with
out New Yorks forty-nve electoral
votes his defeat is practically certain.

statc bridge Department on the Jo

Statc Bridge Department on the job.
The contrast between the methods
used by the bridge department of the
state road bureau and the average
county court in protecting the inter-
ests of the public in bridge building
Is clearly shown by what happened
recently in one Of the counties in the
eastern panhandle. This county used
the skilled services of the state de-
partment in the construction Of its
bridges, the latter furnishing all
plans and specifications and super
vising through an inspector the con-
struction of the same.
On the particular bridge in Ques-
ton. the contractor placed concrete
during the absence of the inspector.
Upon his arrival the inspector claim
ed that the concrete was not of the
grade called for by the specifications,
as the same was apparently mixed too
dry and inferior sand was used A
controversy concerning the concrete
Immediately arose between the con-
tractor and the state road bureau. To
settle the matter beyond any posi-
bllity Of dispute the contractor was re-
Quested to cut out of the bridge
about cubic foot of the concrete
and to send the same to the labora-
tory Of the state road bureau at Nor
gantown. TO be tested in the one
half million pound compression ma
chine. The result of the test showed
the concrete to have a strength of
but one-half that called for by the
specifications.
The contrast between this method
of procedure, and that used by some
counties OF the state, where, after
completion Of the bridge. the county
court goes to the site. takes look at
the structure and says, fine work.!
and then pays over perfectly good
money for perfectly worthless
bridge.
Such examples as the above which
are continually occurring should
serve to convince the public that n
more rigid and scientific control must
be brought about through state par
ticipation in county bridge work

the split in the Republican party was
not fundamental. Maine proves that
answer was correct. 1t is only

Others, he may still be liable for
assessments to make UP amounts
needed to pay losses, or to wind
up the affairs of the concern.
Corporations considering in
Reinsurance should first inquire
whether their charters give them
the right to engage in the insur-
ance business. The United States
Supreme Court said in Central
Transportation Company VS. Pull
man Palace Car Company (139U.
s., 24):
All contracts made by a cor
poration beyond the scope of
those powers are unlawful and
void, and no action can be main
tanned upon them in the courts
and this upon three distinct
grounds: the obligation of every
one contracting with a corpora
ton to take notice of the legal
limits of its powers; the interest
of the stockholders not to be sub
jected to risks which they have
never undertaken; and, above all
the interest of the public that the
corporation shall not transcend
the powers conferred on it by
laws.

Insurance Facts It Will Be Well
To Keep on Your Mind

Hon. j. c. Adkins, a member of
the last Legislature, in an inter
view with the Gainesville Sun,
sets forth some technical effects
OF certain kinds of insurance
which it will be well for the read
er to study and keep in mind. A
mong other things he said:
Zone of the laws passed by the
last Legislature permits mutuals
or reciprocal underwriters to en-
ter State. They have been doing
business in this State without au-
thority and without paying the
tax paid by other companies. 1t
will be well for purchasers to in
vestigate their standing. AS a
matter of law these mutuals or re-
clprocal underwriters, are part
nershlps called mter-insurers, al
so called cooperative or recipro-
cal underwriters, have proved de-
luslons as a means of providing
fire insurance at cost to the part
ners or subscribers.
Many of these concerns have
collapsed because inter-insurance
is not based on sound underwent
ing principles. Only recently
April, 1879 the Texas Insurance
Department refused licenses to
fourteen reciprocal insurance as
Soclatlons because they did not
have enough cash ON hand TO
meet their obligations. One is
SAID to have had $191 in its office
and $73 on deposit, with a total
Of $l,174,25O of insurance in
force. - ~ "
Promoters of inter-insurance
claim that the liability of each
partner or subscriber is limited TO
the amount agreed upon, but as
the subscribers are partners, if
they cannot limit their personal
liability by contract, any of them
can be sued at any time for the
full amount of loss sustained
by any subscriber. Moreover af-
ter a subscriber has supposedly
