chairman of the resolutions committee,
said: There has been discussion as
to the wisdom of commencing Senator
Root to the Republicans Of the coun-

is a difference of opinion as to the
wisdom of passing resolutions on the

ward Mexico as one of inconsistent,
irresponsible interference" and de-
mands the protection Of American

INSURANCE CASE
VERDICT TO STAND

The supreme court refused to dis
turb its findings in the case of Rose
McKune versus the Continental Cas-
ualty company, in a decision handed
down this morning after the appeal of
the insurance company from the judg-
ment given the plaintiff was submitted
on rehearing. The courts findings are
by Judge Charles p. Mccarthy OF the
Third judicial district court for Ada
county sitting for Justice Alfred
Bulge. Chief Justice Sullivan and
Justice Morgan concur. I'VE have
reached the conclusion that the ques-
tions involved in the petition for re-
hearing are presented to the court
upon the re-argument were correctly
decided in the original opinion in this
case. which is accordingly adhered to-
says Judge Mccarthy concluding the
decision.
This is an action to recover on an
insurance policy held by the husband
of Rose McKune. McKune before his
death had signed over to the railroad
he was working for. the Oregon Short
Line, the right to pay one of the prem
iums on his policy. There was some
neglect in this and the premium was
not <lid until after McKune's death.
The insurance company held the prem
ium for 80 days before returning It to
the railroad company. Then IL
claimed the policy was cancelled be-
cause of nom payment of the premium
in the time specified by the policy.
In the syllabus of the opinion there
is found this construction OF the law:
"An insurance company may waive
forfeiture for non compliance with the
provisions of a policy by its own con-
duct, and as a forfeiture is not favored.
waiver will be inferred whenever 1t Is
reasonable inference from the facts.
The provisions OF the policy alone do
not Of themselves work q forfeiture.-

The Business of

we'll is to forget.
Names that were household
words yesterday are gone today.
The world only looks to it's
tomorrow-never it's yesterday.
Because people knew your
goods and your store a year ago
1t Is no sign they do today.
They forget easily.
