President and Senate.

Omaha, May 25.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: Might it not have been
better for the American people
had our president appointed about
four of the longest headed states
men from the United States senate
to have gone over to Paris and
helped negotiate peace and see what
could be done in regard to a league
Of nations? If he could have got
out of his democratic rut and real
lied that all parties Joined hands
and bought bonds and sent their
sons to die on foreign soil, and have
made it about two of the leading
republican and two leading demo-
cratic senators. don't you suppose
they could have formulated as good
peace treaty and in as short a time
and their draft of a league would
more likely have met with the ap-
prevail of the United States senate?
But it might have detrarted from
Colonel House a little. and Presi-
dent Wilson might have thought it
rather tame for him to stay in
washington and just be mere pres
ldent of the United States. Yet 7
for one think we might have come
out OF the affair with American in
terests better protected and have
retained more respect from foreign
nations, and we would have re-
spected ourselves more and had
president not too large for his job.
but right on the job.
Great Britain did not have to take
its king, nor did any of the other
powers. They all had men big
enough for the job, but the United
States had but one man big enough
for the job. Had he from any cause
been swept from the stage of action
beforehand, what would the world
have done for league of nations?

Omaha, May 26.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: A few days ago The
Bee published a article roasting the
police department for allowing
gam bling on the carnival grounds.
At that time l did not sanction the
article, thinking, perhaps, there
might be a little personal animosity
connected with it, but since the arti-
Gle appeared l have had little eX-
perience myself with the method this
administration is following to the
detriment of their supporters, and
am now in a position to offer The
Bee words Of encouragement for fu
ture exposures For 20 years |

forgiveness is all l ask for support
ing the present administration; it

part I didn't know there was a

Soldiers and Sailors Insurance.
Ask T h e B e e to Answer.


The matter of the conversion Of
types Of policies, Is one Of vital con-
Germ to all persons carrying govern
ment insurance. Now that congress
has been convened, conversion will
undoubtedly be authorized within g.
very short time and the campaign
will then be on in earnest A great
many men who are carrying insur-
ance are undecided as to the type Of
policy into which to convert because
OF the fact that their knowledge Of
insurance is very limited. In order
to help these men so that they may
be able to convert into the types of
policies best fitted to their own par
ticular needs, we are going to give
a series of articles which will ex-
plain in general way the provis-
ions Of the various policies so that
they may understand what each
policy is
The six policies offered by the
government are as follows: Ordl-
nary life; 20-payment life, 3O-pay-
ment life; 20-year endowment; 30
year endowment, and an endowment
policy maturing at age 62.
ordinary Life Policy.
The ordinary life policy, more
commonly known as straight life, is
a policy that is figured on the whole
lie OF an individual. Every insur-
ance has beginning and an ending.
The ordinary life policy is based on
the natural life of an individual, and
according to the tables of mortality
the natural life Of every man must
end at age sc, therefore, this policy
Is computed on the basis Of age So.
From this it can be readily seen
that the ordinary life policy is a
very cheap long-term policy, and
this fact makes 1t the cheapest
policy written. The insured pays
premiums as long as he lives.
This policy is pure protection
policy. The insured carries it with
only one thought in mind-that of
affording protection to his family.
He never expects to realize any
thing from this policy himself 1t is
a very attractive policy to men with
families who need as much protec-
ton as they can get and have only
a limited amount of money to buy
this protection. 1t gives a maxi
mum Of protection for minimum
initial cost. The chief objection to
this policy lies in the fact that a
man pays premium as long as he
lives. He can never look forward to
the time when the payment of
premiums will end, and there is a
grave possibility that in old age,
the very time when protection is
most essential, he will be unable
to make these payments.
The yearly premium on the gov
eminent policy is as follows on each
$1,000 of insurance:
Age 20. .$13.5S Age 3O..$1736
Age 25... 1924 Age 35... zoos
