tConunued from rage One.b
the Fraternal Benefit association was
financially sound and actuarially solv-
ent and that all moneys collected and
handled by the officers for the mem
bers had been faithfully accounted for
The court found fatty for the society
on the states charge that salaries of
officers had been illegally increased.
Suit Created Sensation.
The suit against the Security Benefit
association created a sensation. 1t
grew out of a recent examination of
the associations records. Before the
examination was completed the exam
liners filed preliminary report with
Frank L. Travis, state superintendent
of insurance. This report contained
complaints against the association and
was turned over to the attorney gen.
eral who Immediately began court ac-
ton. 4-s4
Evidence showed that Officers of the
association did not receive notice of
any of the matters complained of.
Such notice was not given by the ex-
aminers or the superintendent of
insurance In consequence the society
was unable to answer the charges until
the case was called for trial.
James NJ. Kirkpatrick, president of
the ssociation, stated that he and his
associates had stood ready at all times
to make any explanation or furnish

or the state insurance department.
I'VE have at all times been ready
to answer any charges" said Kirkpat-
rick, land had we received notice of
such unfounded charges could have
readily dlsproven them without injpri-
Gus publicity and expensive litigat ton.
We met every issue in the trial of the
case and our clean-cut victory shows
the charges to have been entirely with
out foundation"

Gates of Moral Suasion
and Propagandists

WASHINGTON, Feb l2.--Rc-
.,t,t. THAI human nature can
bo improved and even made perfect
by .rmovinE from It every imasin-
abI, temptation, such AZ drink,
rambling, smoking, dancing, short
skirt. sunday baseball, and moving
pl,r.rys OF thrilling love scenes.
This subject for debate has been
hurled into the arena by the an
upur,.ment that various religious
and rcform organizations intend 10
haye me observance OF tho sabbath
mad compulsory In tho United
state. Some propose TO do this by
federal law, and some by city and
,fate law At the same time there
IS more or less talk of legislation
against cigarets and gambling. Ia a
word 10 is evident that the forces OF
moral reform plan to follow up the
nroh.bition amendment with a cam
paiyn for "A variety OF other legisla-
lion designed to improve our morals
by force rather than suaSIou.
A. the same time, howl or pro-
trt has gone up against the pro-
poscd "A abbath law and all the other
moral legislation. IL is made very
plnin that there is "A power pure
and aggressive negative to the above
proposition, AS well as "A powerful
and organized affirmative. The re-
formers, of course. say that the
negative is bacNed by Promoters Of
,muscmcnts, dealers in tobacco, and
other interested parties. just as tho
opponents OF reform say that the
returmers are all in the pay OF few
marrow minded millionaires who are
ambitious to make US feel their
power by regulating our personal
conduct.
Nor do you have to go far to find a
man who has not "A cent invested In
any amusement proposition what
ever and never expects to have, but
who almost fuams al the mouth as
he tells you that I'm this alleged land
Of the free there will soon be some
vhS less personal liberty than there
was IN Russia OF the czar, unless
these reformers can in some way be
prevented from executing their be-
nlghted designs.
This school OF thought is de-
scended fro mcolonial Virginia. and
especially from such men as Patrick
Henry and George Wash ingtOn. Ac-
cording to the theory of this school,
personal liberty Is n necessary con-
dlton Of happiness and OF develop
ment. Personality cannot be de-
yeloped without 1t. and personality
IL the essence Of civilization. Moral
ity is dependent upon character. and
must, therefore. be inculcated by
education and example, not by force,
II holds, therefore, that morals are
not a proper sphere for legislation,
and that moral restraint should be
applied only to those who are ire
s sspOnsible-the very young, the Grim
inal and the weakminded. This
school Of thought has faith in hu-
man nature and believes that the
production of superior individuals is
the main purpose Of civilization.
The moralsts have faith in the
state, la law and in force, and aim
at the production of an orderly
whole. even though individuality
suffer in the process.-F. j. Haskin.
