- VERY MAN who has others dependent upon
r. him should carry life insurance, no matter
how small his earning. If you doubt it. ask
your Uncle Sam.
The pay of u United States soldier is small. as
wages go in these times. Yet Uncle Sam s soldiers
now carry ms much life insurance as was IN force on
the entire American continent when we declared
war on Germany-Ov1r $25,0 OO,000,000
When Congress during 1917, adopted the plan
of life insurance now in force. TO safeguard those
dependent upon our soldiers who have gone and
are going TO fight the battles of civilization, Il paid
the final tribute to the value of that form OF pro,
lection, and put the seal of ultimate approval up
ON il.
In view of this endorsement of life insurance, il
is moi surprising that the United States government
has declared that tie occupation of a life insurance
agent is not to be regarded as a non productive oc-
cupation, and that IL does not fall under the work
or fight order.
1t is said that there are many men who in the
press of war work and in the face of the unusual
demands of the times, are letting their life insur-
ance slip. Thoughtful men will not do that. IL is a
mistake. Deaths occur in civilian life during time
of war, just as they occur during time OF peace.
Widows and orphans are left none the less depen-
dent ON account of war conditions. II was to guard
against a large population of helpless dependents
that Congress passed the war insurance act. II is
equally as important that we guard against a large
population of the dependents of civilians.
Hence the necessity that the life insurance
business continue its mission during these times
and that civilians be as careful, in observing their
obligations to their dependents as the government
requires our soldiers 10 be.
According TO n recent lssuc of The Insurance
Press, last year. 1917, was one of the greatest years
in the history of life insurance. During that year
regular, old line life insurance companies report
the writing Of four billion dollars in new business.
The benefits paid to policy holders and bcncficiaries
aggregate over three quarters of q billion dollars.
A single death claim, that paid to the estate of the
late Frederick TX. Hazard. "A manufacturer of SNrn-
cusc, New York, amounted to $s43,00O The death
claims paid recently to the estate of the late Major
John Purroy Mitchell totalled $l49, 600. Death
claims paid in New Mexico in 1917 amounted to
over five hundred thousand dollars, and of this
amount Albuquerque claimants received over S2il,
900.
Life insurance is in the hands / private corpo-
rations. But no apology Is necessary for endorsing
and encouraging the business of those corporations,
rs now conducted under official supervision. Ii is

Fl PRUSSIAN MIND
BY DR.. A CRANE

~~~ teorSRoEr isss ~ or rasnK CRANE ~~
One reason why the war broke out, why it goes on, and why no
peace is in sight. is the radical difference between the Prussan Mind
and the Mind Of citizen of France, Great Britain or America.
The PrusSian Mind seems to us crazy, because some OF the funda-
mental principles back of il are wholly different from our principles.
For instance, every Prussan has been sucked on the idea that the
State is supreme, that the Authorities are To be obeyed, and that only
by the unquestioning obedience os teamplay can the individual be
benefited.
1t is this that makes him defend the military policy of frightful.
ness. lie is naturally as kind hearted as AN American. He would
feed you if YOU were hungry and tend YOU II you were wounded. But
if the State says that u hospital ship should be sunk, a French village
demolished or babies spitted ON bayonets, he does these inhuman
things as a matter of course. Before the rigorous creed tina. whatever
$ for the Fatherland and whatever the Authorities decree is right, all
humancness, decency and chivary disappear.
The State has become his God. Aud as the inqusitor in the
dark ages filled the heretcs ears with molten lead for the love of
Jesus and His Church, 50 the modern German peasant burns, rapes and
initiates that he may pat the fear of the Kaiser and his sword into
the b"arts Of obstinate Englishmcn.
Get the fitting kind Of a god and any sin becomes righteousness
Idolatry always ends in cruelty. The Aztec cut the heart of his living
human victim aud all the multitude glorifed God. The Prussian sinks
the Lustania and the people chant TIE Deums. II is because in the
Prussian Mind the State has taken the place OF the All Father.
The first duty of a Prussian is not 10 be honorable, merciful and
just; i. is to conquer, to make his idol, the Prussian State, sup me
over all.
And then the prussian Mind cannot possibly grasp American mo-

A Place - Drop From Politics

HE OFFICE of county superintendent of
schools should not be precipitatcd into the
general scramble of partisan political con
tests. For the highest efficiency III the service these
officials should be appointed from u central state
authority, under rigid examination requirements.
Since we must elect the county school superintcn-
dents, however, and since the elections fall with
those of other county and state officers, taxpayers
and parents should interest themselves in seeing to
it that partisan politics has as little ~ possible to
do with selecting candidatcs-that the parties nom.
mate men who are qualified as. school managers, not
as politicians.
Here in Bcrnalillo county, by the exercise of q
little common sense and a little restraint of partisan
feeling and activity, we have an opportunity to do
a real service for this county by continuing II highly
efficient man in the county school superintendent S
oricc.
Under the provisions of the foolish amendment
TO our state constitution by the terms of which a
public officer is limited to two terms, or two years
each, the present county school superintendent
cannot succeed himself in office.
The law provides that the office shall serve un-
til his successor is elected and qualified. II the
several political parties in this county will leave
blank ON their tickets the office of county school
superintendent, the present incumbent will continue
to serve two years more, during which tim" ne can
complete much of the more important constructive
work now under way.
Realizing that real self denial and tremendous
self restraint are necessary if any political organi-
zation leaves blank a place on it's ticket, We still
venture this suggestion, now, when the county com
mittces are meeting and county conventions are
being held. II is not made in behalf of Mr.. Mon
he now has, whenever he returns to private life.
II is made in behalf of the uninterrupted progress
of the schools of this county and the welfare of the
children they serve.
