NEW YORK. January 30.-During
the past week 1t has been the specula~
tive situation which has attracted
most attention. At the beginning of
the period there was definite evidence
OF conflicting opinions and Of q desire
TO test these out on the door OF the
Stock Exchange. A certain important
element was credited with exploiting
the view that the market during the
Autumn and early Winter had gone
forward tar enough. that most OF the
favorable features in tho outside stu
alton had been adequately measured
and that some sort Of u reaction was
in order.
The test came with the announce
mont on Tuesday of no increase in
he United States Steel extra dividend.
powerful effort was made on the
strength Of this to break steel stock.
When this effort failed, 1t was the
signal for Z resumption Of operations
FOR the rise. More and more, as the
week went on, the buying side got
the upper hand. The market in the
closing days Of January was not the
furious speculation of October and
November. but 1t was fully equal to
the rising market at the end Of De-
cember.

GREAT GAINS MADE
IN LIFE INSURANCE
American People Paying
More Attention to This
Kind of Protection.
epeclA Dispatch TO The Star.

~SS>4oI bispdtcn 70 Inc star.
NE" YORK, January 30.-"In the
budget of the American people life in.
surance is becoming an increasingly
important item" according to Com.
merce Monthly, published by the Ma
!!onal Bank Of Commerce in New
YORK Continuing. the bank says:
LII 1923 the legal reserve Life insur-
ance companies collected over $780,
100000 In premiums. In addition.
the United States war risk insurance
ana fraternal and other miscellaneous
IRE organizations collected around
S250,0o0,0 900. The total income of the
american people for the year 1924 Is
placed by an authority at 10000. 000,-
900. 1t Is thus clear that the figure for
lie insurance premiums collected eX-
ceeos per cent Of the total American
income.
Growth Is Startling.
Now per cent is not striking
amount considered alone. However,
The total annual savings of the .Ameri-
can people in recent years has been
estimated by the same authority as l6
per cent OF their income. A large por.
ton Of money paid as life insurance
premiums is quite usually regarded
as savings. Hence It is clear that q
large fraction Of the total annual saw.
tnSs OF the American people takes the
form OF life insurance. The portion Of
the income Of the American people
paid In 1924 as insurance premiums
was distinctly more than it was in
1913.
Measured in dollar figures, there
has been a startling growth over the
past decade in life insurance In force.
Including legal reserve, assessment
and fraternal organizations there was
In force In 1913 nearly s31 900, 100000
of life insurance. BY the end OF 1924
this figure was nearly two and half
times as great. or about $4,000. 000.-
600. taking into account United States
war risk insurance.
Great Change in Values.
These are startling increases, but
such increases give a false proportion.
On the basis OF current index numbers
800 would have purchased In 1918
what II would have taken about $3.50
TO buy IN 1924. So really the s3l o00,-
100000 Of insurance had about as
r1uch purcha sing value In 1913 as
$50, 5000, 900 would have had in 1924.
On this basis the purchasing power of
insurance in force was increased no
less than SO per cent over the decade.
From the record Of the past decade
figures indicate that life insurance
wealth more than holds its own as
part of the growing wealth of the
United States"

IT'S GREATEST NEED

Possibly the greatest need of that wonderful
the Boy Scouts of America, is a
clearer understanding on the part of the general
public of the fundamental principles of Scouting.
James E. West, chief Scout executive, has said
repeatedly that the greatest handicap with which
the movement has to cope is the fact that, be-
cause of its dramatic and superficial values, it
enjoys much popularity and receives support from
many substantial people who have no clear under
standing of its fundamental merits.
Too many people in America look upon Scouting
as purely recreational or play program They
do not realize that the many dramatic and spec
tacular features of Scouting are but means to
an end, and that the real purpose of the move
ment is citizenship training and character build
ing.
The value to the nation of the Boy Scout pro-
gram, and particularly its method of learning
by doing" in the performance of civic service lies
in the fact that it is means of helping to develop
a consciousness that a democracy involves the
! spirit of participating citizenship. There is
abundant evidence of the character of service that
Scouts are rendering every day in all parts Of
the country. All this has been definitely pro-
vided to impress the boys with the Importance
Of their relationship to organized. society.
If every citizen who has the welfare of the
Boy Scout movement at heart would endeavol
to form a clear, accurate conception Of its funda
mental purpose long step towards still greater
accomplishment in that field would be taken Tn,
Boys Scouts of America today is training th,
leading citizens Of tomorrow. The sooner ",
realize that, despite its play" features, Che spir
Of the organization and the aim Of its work ar
serious and noble, the sooner we shall be able t
cooperate with it in an intelligent and effective
way

PRESIDENT MAY TRAVEL.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The pres
sure on the president to make at
least one trip into the West or South
west, is steadily increasing. While
it is now understood that he will be
unable to make the trip to Denver
for the meeting Of the Bar assOcia-
tion, there is a possibility that later
on he may journey afield and into
the Southwest. If it were possible
to make a PARKWAY journey and then
return, those who are close to him
say his inclination would be to start
in short order. Unhappily for him,
however, it is pretty well understood
that a trip west of Chicago, unless
it also included a round-trip to the
coast, would be more apt to displease
than to please the people, and trip
of that sort would involve speech
making, and thus entail serious labor
and preparation.
It is hinted that the one partic-
ular deterrent in the matter Of q
western trip is his fear that it might
be construed as a political jaunt. b;
appreciates the right of the people II
the western country to see theil
president, and has been deepl!
touched by the messages he has re
ceived inviting him into that country
but he has thus far thought such

trary is the truth. There is no dOub

vacation, was most interesting.
There were at least half hundred
of the Washington correspondents
assembled, and for the time being
the White House spokesman vanished,
and the president stood forth in his
own personality. He gave the whole
affair personal touch. He ex-
pressed his hopes that all the men
would enjoy such vacations as came
to hand, and remarked quietly that he
felt the newspapermen going with
him would, and added a little genial
note Of cOmmiseration for the men
obliged to stay in Washington. Co
ing a little further, and with a very
fine note of sincerity in his voice, he
not only thanked the neWspapermen
for the cooperation they had given
him during the year, but cOngratu-
lated them on the care and skill and
discretion with which they had inter
preted his views to the people of the
country at large. Without this co.

operation, he said, very sincerely, his
task would have been made a great
deal harder, and with this cO-Opera-
ton he was able to make his views
better known to the people Of the
nation at large to whom he said he
had a special and particular response
bility.
He complimented congress for its
work, and at the same time he di-
rected attention to the fact that on
the whole he had secured from con-
gress legislation to which he had
committed himself at the beginning
Of the session. The cooperation Of
congress, he further went on to say,
was a fine thing based on the under
standing and appreciation by the
members of what he was trying to
do, and a cooperation which was
free from any trace Of subservience.
The Bozeman courier., 1926-07-23

Many persons entertain the impression that in
Revolutionary times, because education did not
then occupy the prominent place it does today,
most of the men who headed the crusade for
liberty had had but little schooling.
That such belief is erroneous is attested by
figures compiled by School Life, publication of
the bureau of education of the department of the
interior, which show that % of the Sc signers
of the Declaration of Independence were college
bred men.
Harvard was represented by eight; William
and Mary by three; Yale by three; Cambridge
(England) by three; Princeton by twO "Philadel-
phia" by two; Edinburgh by one, and the Jesuit
College at Rheims by one.
Sixteen others of the signers had received eek
cellent" or classical" educations, one of them al
Westminster school, London. Two had obtained
all their formal instruction from tutors. Only Is
including Franklin, Wythe, Roger Sherman, anC
Robert Morris, had had but little schooling.

revised and strengthened; if the courts are cor
rupt, they may be purged Of that corruption. Let
us not, in our anxiety to correct existing but
transitOry evils, abandon the basic, orderly pro-
cesses which centuries have proved are the only
vehicles by which true and permanent progress
can be made
To revert to Vigilante methods in this day and
age, in Chicago or anywhere else, is unthinkable,
and might lead to conditions far more unsatis-
factory and pregnant with more real danger than
those which now exist. The Vigilantes were
highminded men of unusually strong chacter, and
only that with their zeal for righteousness, kept
them from misusing the power they took upon
themselves. 1t is extremely doubtful if another
such body of men could be brought together, and
it is still more doubtful if they could function so
effectively and to such good purpose.
We must not go back to mob rule, however re-
stricted and no matter what the prOvocatiOn.
Rather let US summon our courage and stand by

DEMOCRATS UPSET.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Senator
Reed of Pennsylvania introduced
terrifying and spinejarring sugges-
tion into the senate rules committee
the other day, when he proposed a
rule to the effect that any senator
who failed to receive at least Is per
cent of the adult voting population
of his state should be debaTred from
his seat. Mr.. Reed had been stirred
little bit, it must be admitted, By
the holy horror Of the southern Dem
Ocrats over the expenditures in Penn
sylvania. With magnificent gestures
and flowing periods they had been
TRADING in the senate over the money
spent in Pennsylvania, contrasting
the modesty Of expenditures in their
own home states. An examination
Of the election returns, howeve~,
skaters these halOes, and it also dis
closes the fact that if the Reed rule
were adopted there would be a num-
Der of immediate vacancies in the
present senate.
In Mississippi, for example, the
| adult population IS approximately
100000, yet the evanescent Pat HaF-
risOn, it appears, has never received
more than $4,000 votes, a little over
10 per cent and under the Is per cent
which Reed suggested.
Robinson, of Arkansas, has re-
ceived 100000 votes; Carraway, 1885,
600.
The beflOwered Heflin, Of Alabama,
has received $4,000 votes, as against
1,150,0OO population.
Inasmuch as there are cities and
towns in the East, North and Middle
West where a greater vote is cast
for the election of a town or city
alderman than these southern Demo
Gratis have received, the point would
seem to be reasonably well taken.
AS an aside it may be said that
even before Senator Reed put his
finger on this sore point, the Demo
Gratis had been worrying about it. AL
efforts in the past in the South have
been to discourage registration ant

The Republicans admittedly have
no particular chance Of gaining one
Of the seven Democratic seats which
are at stake, but even the most in
genious naathematicians has not been
able to figure out where the Demo
Gratis would secure nine seats. The
Republicans anticipate a sharp con-
test but they are exceedingly hope
full.
The seats to be contested for in
November are, with one exception,
the ones which were part and parcel
Of the presidential campaign Of 1920.
The tremendous vote by which Presi-
dent Harding carried the country in
that year carried into the senate q
number Of Republicans from states
which are normlly Democratic on
which at best are debatable political
ground. There being no presidential
contest this year, personalities ani

CONTROL OF SENATE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-NOtwith-
standing the Democratic hullaballOO,
they have not yet captured the SEN
ate, and let it be said now that to
get control of the senate they will
have to gain nine Of the q seats now
held by the Republicans. Thirty-fOur
members of the United States senate
will be elected November 2. Of these
contested seats, % are now held by
Republicans and seven by Democrats.
The result of the senatorial election
will determine which party will or
ganize the senate on March 4, 1927,
and in all probability it will deter
mine also the legislative program be-
tween that date and March 4, 1929.
