COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
SURRENoERINe LIFE INsURANc

(From The CIarksburg Telegram)
A Young married man has just
written to the financial editor of the
New York Tribune asking for some
advice with regard to his systematic
efforts to save money enough TO en-
able him to enter business life on
his own responsibility. The young
man and his wife are thrifty for
they have a substantial nest egg and
they desire to put some of their
savings into sound securities.
In the course OF his letter, the
Young man noted that he was car
rying $4,000 in life insurance and
preached the advisability of sur
rendering it for its cash value and
putting the proceeds into good
stock or bond. (The answer Of the
Tribune's financial editor with re-
gard to the insurance is so sensible
ehat it prompts its repetition here
and in thus reporting it the Tele-
gram need not necessarily be
charged with giving the insurance
companies some free advertising in
+ space not devoted to that, for it
has widows and orphans in mind
rather than the insurance compan-
les.
by no means" replied the finan-
cial editor, Surrender your life in
surance. We do not think you are
carrying enough as 1t is. You are
not immortal. Your wife would be
lucky il after burying you and pay
ing your bills she had anything left
of the $4,000. We suggest that you
increase your protection to $4,000,
taking mostly straight life, one of
the cheapest forms, which. however,
is not pushed by the ordinary life
insurance solicitor. If you are about
he age we guess you are, the add
t:onal $4,000 will cost you between
$500 and $3.50 year, In about thir-
ty wears, which cover your greatest
need for protection, the policies
will be about paid up and have a
handsome surrender value.
"Of course it is admirable for a
| Young man to save" the editor con
tinues, but we think 1t Is futile for
him and his wife to carry the risk
Of death and the attendant wreck
of his cherished future fortune
when he can shift the burden of the
risk to an insurance company at SO
small a cost. The way policies are
written now you are bound to get
your money back some time, wheth'
er you die or live
Sound advice, which particularly
fits the young man in question in
view of his earnings, which, compar-
atively speaking, are not extra
large; his expenses and margin Of
saving. Other forms OF insurance
would, OF course, fit other cases
But, this ambitious young man need
ed such protection for his family
and his estate such as the insurance
policies. suggested could only pro
vide. The advice could well be TAX

GO TO COLLEGE
(From the Charleston Gazette)

At this time of the year, when
school terms are being finished, the
great question that students are
asking themselves is whether they
shall continue their education by
entering some higher school of
learning. They are wondering whe-
Their it will pay to stop now and en-
ter business, learn a trade or en-
gage in some occupation which will
bring early monetary returns.
1t seems that this question should
be given but one answer Go to
school just as long as you can, for
there is no drying up OF the foun-
tain of knowledge. There should be
no illusion these days about the
position Of the unframed man and
his chances In the world. The recul-
lar employment conditions incident
to the war made it possible COR
some unframed workers to obtain
high wages. But these conditions
are rapidly passing; competition is
becoming keener than it ever was;
the situation again favors the man
with the education over the man
NilHOuJ ole.
A most reliable record of success
full men in life Is the book known
as Who's Who Just read the bio
graphies of the men and women in
the book. A majority of the men fin.
ished college course. Notwith-
standing the fact that less than one
per cent of the people OF the United
States have had complete COLES
training 50 per cent of tie entire
number In the book have had college
training Thus it can be seen that
when everything else is equal the
man who has had college training
will get to the top somehow or
other.
OF course, IL must not be assum-
ed that college education is neces-
sary to succeed in life, but we new
err knew but a few persons whom
or 3at learning hurt. And they were
naturally handicapped in other
ways. The fellows who are admir-
ers of Woodrow Wilson and who
have been said to suffer from a dis
ease known as "Wilsonphobia" are
in fact simply admirers of his gen
ius, and this genius, after all is but
well-grounded knowledge of very
many things.
Wilson's genius, after all, was due
to his knowledge. His assurance Of
the possession of it was often con-
strued as egotism, but We know Of
no man who knew better and knew
that he knew more than did Wood
row Wilson when he was employing
health The case OF Woodrow Viii
son Is only referred to because he
is the most eminent example Of
how well a man is fortified for any
task in life if, first OF all, he is in
formed
1t is not to be taken for granted
that a college course means big
pay envelope, but it does mean a
more highly developed mind, and
the mind that is elastic can cope
with problems more easily than the
one which is not. The well paid
men in life are the ones who can
take the initiative. The fellow who
works from his ears up is a valu-
able man to an employer, no matter
what his occupation. The knowledge
Of a Greek noun or the ability to
conjugate the verb amo does not as
sure success in life, but the train
ing that the mind got in learning
these things are assets which can
only be measured by fast, and the
facts are that when everything else
is equal the man who is superiority
educated will outdistance his rival
who is not.

SEES LITTLE MORAL
GOOD OUT OF WAR

Addressing the congregation OF
Grace NJ. L. Church last night. on
the theme. "The Young Man Who
Asked a Question" the Rev. J. w.
r. sumwalt referred to the recent
war saying that some men felt that
the world would be better spirit
ually as a result OF the conflict "In-
stead" he added, "some men came
out OF that war to steal a little bit
more: some to quarrel a little bit
more. and some to dance a little
bit more.

we get out Of the war? Did we get
all that we should have gotten out

world had not taken advantage OF
its great chance TO come closer 10

he declared. They feel" he said.
that It is some great emotion. but
do not realize that IL means taking
Christ into their lives.
DR.. Sumwalt likened the lives OF
these people to the lives OF the sail
ors on sinking ship. who refused
to take their captain aboard for fear
OF overcrowding their life boat, and
subsequently sinking because OF the
fact that they refused to have any
thing 10 do with the one man who

WORKERS AFTER
CITY CONTRACTS
Painters, Bricklayers Will
Bid For Work While
Wage Fight Continues
THINK COSTS
CAN BE LOWERED

With an aim to lower costs by
eliminating contractors profits. a
number Of union painters and brick
layers have decided to bid on build
ing work in the city.
In a public announcement. Brick
layers and Masons' Union. No. l..
has asked that its members be given
opportunity TO bid on jobs, and Of
fers to provide bond to guarantee
that work will be completed accord
ing to specifications.
In the meantime the dispute over
the wage question between the boss
contractors and union men in some
Of the building crafts still wakes
warm. The master builders recently
decided to work for a reduction in
both labor and material costs. This
was followed by an announcement
by the master painters that they
would reduce their charge for work
to 81 an hour and would reduce the
wage scale from S7h cents to 75
cents an hour. This reduction was
resisted by the union painters. who.
however. agreed to work for so
cents IN hour. The matter is still
at a "stand-off."
Union plumbers. who had been
getting 81 an hour. voluntarily re-
duced their wage scale to 81 y cents
an hour; but union bricklayers and
stonemaspns. who have been getting
$1.25 an hour, are resisting a pro-
posed cut. The carpenters are
standing pat" at s1.12h per hour.
