ABOUT GOVERNMENT
LIFE INSURANCE

Yearly renewal term insurance
against total permanent disability or
death was provided by an amend
ment to the war risk insurance act,
approved October 6, 1917. This in
surance was issued at net premium
rates computed for payment on a
monthly basis, according to the
American Experience Table Of Nor
tally, with interest at 318 per cent.
a year. The act also provided that
the government would bear the cost
OF administration and the excess NOR
tally due to the hazards of war.
Term insurance can be continued
for five years after the termination
Of the war, as declared by proclama-
ton of the president of the United
States. This termination of the war
was declared by joint resolution on
March 3, 1921, consequently all year.
ly renewable term (war time) insur-
ance will cease March 8, 1926, and if
protection is desired beyond that
period it will be necessary that the
term insurance be converted into one
or more of the forms of level pAem-
lum insurance Converted insurance)
Applications for yearly renewable
term insurance, averaging approx
mately $4,000 each, were submitted
by approximately 4,500,000 persons
in the service, aggregating total of
about S40,000,000,000 of insurance.
Shortly after the armistice was signed
rehabilitation began and the men in
the army, navy and marine corps
were rapidly discharged A year
later the number of men in the SER
vice had been reduced to a very low
number COMPARED with the original
number Of entrants,
The average age Of those in the
service at the time of the armistice
was under "a years. In the minds of
most Of them the signing Of armis-
tice eliminated all need for insurance.
The danger was then over from their
viewpoint, and it is extremely inn
probable that the major portion Of
the original amount Of insurance
could have been continued, even if
personal solicitation methods had been
used. Very young and healthy men
see little need for insurance, and when
they do purchase, it is usually in
small amounts. The fact that they
had finished their term Of service in
a dangerous occupation and were re-
turning to civil pursuits, made the
payment Of insurance premiums seem
a useless expense.
Notwithstanding these facts and
the further fact that the government
did not employ the method of per-
sonal solicitation, there are at this
time approximately 100000 persons
continuing their insurance, either as
yearly renewable term or converted.
The total amount of insurance rep
resented is approximately $780, |
100000.
The governments liability under
yearly renewable term insurance on
account Of total permanent disability
and death is approximately $780,
100000 (eommuted value on 31s
per cent. basis), and the total amount
of premiums received on this form of
insurance is approximately $400,000,-
000 Therefore, the committed value
of the claims exceed the amount of
premium received by approximately
S900,000,000, and as the benefits UNI
der term insurance are payable in
monthly installments of S5.75 for /

A GOOD WORD FOR HIM

Hans Schmidt was reported to be
the noeanest man in the neighborhood.
He died. His body was placed in the
grave, and, according to an old Penn
sylvania German custom, the people
stood around the open grave waiting
for some one to say some good thing
about the deceased before filling the
grave. After a long wait, Gustave
Schultze said: well, | can say joost
one goot thing about Hans. He
wasn't always as mean as he was
sometimes. - Universalist Leader.

VlTALlZINC THE LEAGUE

THE long discussed possibility Of Ger.
L man entrance into the League Of Ma
tions is revived by the London Times in the
announcement that the question will prob
ably be formally considered at the Septem-
Der session Of the international society. 1t
is added that the topic was approached by
the Council of the League this month and
that it was believed that Germany would
be admitted, providing good faith was
evinced in the reparations case. which
reaches particularly acute stage today.
Skeptics upon the general theme of inter
national fraternity may be inclined to point
out that the question of recognizing Ger
many in the League Is less important today
than it was three years ago, when the or
ganization was conceived as a potent instru-
ment in world government.
Since that time the League has been
subordinated by the Council Of Premicrs and
by international conferences, such as those
of Washington and Genoa. On the other
hand. the alleged weakness Of the League is
unquestionably in large degree attributable
to its lack Of universality.
1t was plain from the beginning that,
wanting n full membership, the body, "a n

The national aspect of the New York
campaign is less interesting, however. than
the State aspect. Mr.. Miller has been a
successful Governor. He has shown cour.
age and initiative. and he has brought
about economies and administrative re-
forms. His denomination would doubtless
be equivalent to his re- election. Neither
Mayor Hylan nor William X. Hearst could
defeat him.
The assumption that Mr.. Harding will
be SO weak in 1924 that he cannot com.

Republican National Convention is gratui-

losing strength. AS a matter of fact, he is

The GOVERNORS OPPORTUNITY

COyERNOR SPROUL has responsible
VI ity TO the courts of the Commonwealth
which he is expected to face in mantul tash-
ION. The resignation of Judge Patterson
leaves n vacancy on the Common Pleas
bench which he must fill 1t should go with
out saying that the first consideration Ill the
selection Of a Judge should be distinguished
fitness for the Office. Personal friendship
alone should play no part in the matter.
The courts exist to administer justice. IL
b important that the people should have
confidence not only in their Importantly
but in the judicial ability OF the men on
the bench.
The State already has too many political
Judges. They have been chosen in too many
instances as result of political deals and
dickers. In other instances men have been
put on the bench to be taken care of. They
have been persistent offcehJiders. some.
times with little Legal experience, but the
politicians desired to find n place for them
with a salary attached. and that place has
been in the courts.
Such a practice tends to destroy conf
dence in the judiciary. The Governor broke
away from 1t when he formed his Cabinet
three years ago. He sought for the best
available man in the country for Superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction and found him
in DIR. Fnegan. And when he made DR..
Rasmussen Commissioner of Agriculture he
put in charge of the department an expert
the equal of any in any other State and
the superior to most. And SO with other
important places.
There is now offered to him through the
resignation Of Judge Patterson the oppor-
tunity to exercise the same kind of high
minded and patriotic Judgment. There are
capable lawyers with long experience at the
bar who would adorn the bench. The Gov
ernor knows many of them. Their appoint
ment would meet with the instant approval
OF the bar. 1t is incredible that the Gov
srnor, who is said to contemplate retiring
from active political life. should exercise his
power Of appointment in the last months of
his term to pay political debts. He has 100
Nigh a sense Of his public duty for that.
Those who have confidence in him are ex E.

PRISON FOR A PEST

PATRIOTISM, as practiced by Horatio
=. Bottomley. seems for fact to have been
the last refuge of scoundrel. Considering
10 in the prophetic sense. new light is cast
upon DR.. Johnson's much discussed dcfini-
don.
The nauseating Bottomcy left nothing
undone which might contribute to the mis-
use OF nationalist ardor and the dissemina-
tton OF demagogy under the guise of public
spirit. His conviction by an English court
on the charge Of misappropriating funds be-
longing to the so-called Victory Bond Club
represents welcome antidotc for n species
Of quackery that might have been called in.
