 Chairman.
 June 6, 1919. Messrs. J. H. O'Reilly and Shirley Christy, Phoenix. Arizona.

I1OS11lA, Al iNOiieN- Dear Sirs:-
 I have given very careful con sideration to the proposed plan of yourself and associates for the or ganization of a life insurance com pany in this State, and 1 have no hesitancy in expressing the opinion that if the plan is carried through on the basis outlined by you, it will prove a financial success. Your proposal to enlist with you in this undertaking only men of promi- hence and well known financial standing in the State, is, in my judgment, the best assurance of your success. The wealth and re- sources of this State amply justify the expectation that life insur- ance company with the financial backing which you propose, will meet with success from its incep- tion.
 You may rest assured that this Commission will be glad to CO., operate with and assist you in every consistent manner
 Very truly yours,
 (Signed) AMOS. A. BETTS,
 Commissioner (COPY)

startled by the loud changing of the fire.

presently found himself one of crowd

the tourist addressed himself TO n msn

The Philadelphia Record warmly COM
mends Mayor Moore for refusing re-
quest for the appointment of committee
of citizens to engage in the work OF put
ting a stop TO profiteering by means OF
unduly high prices. To their claim that
there is a Federal law that will cover the
situation if enforced, the Record replies
that if there is such law, let it be rigidly
enforced.
This is sound advice. But it may be
added that proper legislation by Congress
would tend to largely relieve the oppres-
sive situation. What is needed is Federal
legislation that viii restore, as soon as
possible, the conditions that prevailed
before the war. Restored TO a normal
basis, prices might once more become
subject to effective regulation by the law

TIE terrific storm of Wednesday and
Wednesday night extended along the
entire Atlantic Coast, with sad rsvages all
the way from Sandy Hook to Cape
Charles, and possibly further south. The
northeast gale, weighted by snow and
sieet. rasbed into the beaches with fatal
effect, cutting them terribly in many places
especially at the numerous seaside re-
sorts.
Among the heavy sufferers was our
own highly-prised Rehoboth Beach. The
boardwalk was demolished and large sec
tons of the splendid beach torn away. Re-
hoboth has been struck hard by heavy
storms for several years il succession, and
the immunity it formerly enjoyed to an
encouraging extent is now thing of the
past. Each winter brings destructive
storm ravage.
However, these are matters beyond all
human control But they are none the less
causes Of sincere regret.

IMMIGRATION QUESTION AGAIN.

The United States, in the opinion Of
Alfred Hampton, Assistant Commits
sioner-General Of immigration, is on
the eve OF very great rush Of inmi-
grafton such as we have never seen be-
tore and he has been IN conference
with Ellis Island officials on plans TO
expand the facilities for the reception of
these expected newcomers. Figures in
January showed marked increase In
arrivals from abroad whereas in No
vembcr about $4,000 left the country
and about $4,000 were admitted MANY
OF those who went away, Mr.. Hampton
Is quoted as saying, are coming back
and they are bringing with them their
brothers, sisters, or ether relatives. The
annual spring flow of immigrants is
soon 10 set in, and there is every reason
To believe that il viii exceed many Of
the seasons which brought heavy loads
of foreigners to this country"
We suppose MIR Hampton's anticipa-
lions are based on more or less reliable
information and that there is ground for
expecting strong tide OF European i'm
migration. The most important point
~ connection with this possibility or
probability is not the providing of in
creased facilities for the reception Of
these immigrants, but the providing and
carrying out OF safeguards against the
landing Of undesirables We are already
only too well aware that there are thou
sands OF disturbing elements in this
country who are creating discomfort and
disorder, and making trouble for US, and
we ought 10 be sure that no more Of the

Chairman Hays of the Republican
National Committee continues in state
Of concern over the problem of a platform
to be adopted by the Republican National
Convention at Chicago, this year. APP
parently greatly alarmed over the awk-
ward position in which the party has been
placed by the amazing record of the Re-
publican Congress, both in respect Of
non-action rs TO important legislation ano
hostility to the Peace Treaty and the
League of Nations. he is cndeavorins 70
fall back upon platform declarations that
NAV minimize the evil effects OF this dis
creditable record, and give the party's
orators something to pirate about WITH
some show Of grace at public meetings
during the campaign.
After travelling around the country for
two months, seeking information as TO
local sentiment and local conditions,
Chairman Hays has decided upon plat
form plan of ignoring foreign relations
and dealing with purely home topics. 1t
is said he will urge postal reforms, better
labor conditions. business rehabilitation,
tariff changes, resdiustment of foreign
and domestic commerce, as the leading
matters to be gwen prominent place IN
the platform.
But think Of the horrible manner In
which Chairman Hays selection OF plat
form topics will emphasize the almost
criminal negligence OF the Republican
Congress which has been in fruitiese ses-
sion at Washington for nearly year. His
platform subjects are business subjects
that should have claimed the serious and
intelligent consideration Of the Congress
from the first day Of the session. Much
should have been done by this time in the
way of constructive legislation, to head
the country towards a restoration OF ante
war conditions and normal lines OF bust
ness, but the Congress has not even closed
the war. The Senate, by its hostility TO
the Peace Treaty, ha. left the country
still at war with Germany.
There is no getting away from tins
most reprehensble record. Chairman
HAYS platform builders cannot justify It,
And all their efforts 10 minimIse 1T by
the policy OF silence in this respect, and
the presentation of other matters that
demand attention will only serve TO en-
ohasize the record OF neglect. The people
we'll know this record. and doubtless viii
know how to pass judgment upon it by
