(Official City, State and County Newspaper) THE PROVIDENT CONSERVES ‘The Provident Life Insurance staffs of three states are meeting here in annual session. It is an event of inter- est to Bismarck, as Bismarck is the home of the com- peny. Bismarck knows the Provident is an important financial institution to the state and to its capital city. Somehow or other there wasn’t a note of this.in the opening of the conference, except as George Shafer, gov- ernor-elect, expressed it. In Mr. Shafer’s remarks welcoming the conference to the capital of the state, Thursday, he referred to the company as a medium of conservation for the state's Potential investment wealth. It serves as a reservoir for the accumulation of capital which is needed at home but * which conceivably might be diverted to Wall Street and | to stock speculation were North Dakotans compelled to “seek their insurance in other centers in close relations ‘with the speculative section of the country. By absorb- ) dng this capital, the Provident is enabled to keep mil- lions at home for the credit requirements of the agri- | Cultural and industrial interests of the state. If the Provident were a steel mill, an automobile plant, ‘an oil company or a sugar corporation equally prosperous and on the same fipancial basis, North Dakota and Bis- marck might be more demonstrative over it. These in- dustries, however, possess only the merit of wealth pro- ducers. In the case of the Provident company there not ' only is the production of wealth through the insurance + company’s investment capital, but there also is a great | public beneficence served in its protective capacity to- _ | ward dependents in case of the death of a family head. _| This has become an important and growing function in | every community. Years ago insurance did not occupy * the position of favor it now enjoys. A prejudice existed | against it. Sometimes sordid crimes for enrichment by | frauds in the guise of insurance cropped out. People * with sma”! incomes felt hectored by the importunities of | insurance men to.gell them policies. It was felt also that » life insurance wae tike capitalizing death; it was sordid. | And not always was'the personnel of the insurance agent | staffs prepossessing.. Many of the men who sold insur- ‘ance were in the’tsQsiness simply because they had failed in all others, Today this all is different. Insurance salesmen have become technicians in sillescraft. More and more trained + men, college and university graduates, are entering the business. People with tight incomes realize that the only | Possible accumulation of savings that they may leave to their dependents is in the form of insurance. Mawkish | ideas abcut capitalizing death havé vanished. Insur- | ance frauds are no longer demoralizing to the public ap- Praisal of such investments. There even is eagerness to put installments of savings into this form of protection. And men of great wealth who can afford it invest thou- sands of dollars in big policies that they may leave an , estate to their families assured against the fickleness of business. Too many businesses fail while others thrive. , Insurance does not fail. Tt is interesting to note that before 1929 abdicates in | favor of 1930 life insurance in force in the United States eloquent of American forethought for old age and de- } pendence. It also shows that our prosperity is not being ‘| entirely consumed in the enjoyment of the so-called ma- terial things. | Fifteen years ago the total amount of life insurance in | force in the United States was $20,500,000,000, which then | @ppeared to be a tremendous total. Within sixteen years, || Sf present estimates hold, the people will have multiplied their investment in tis direction five times. {| It is amid a business of such staggering finance that | sccording to a survey juit prepared. This vast total is i "||, the city to note from year to year the expansion and in- ') @reasing public service of this company. BISMARCK’S EYES ON CHINA, TURKEY ‘Bismarck and China and Turkey have little in common r Bismarck, however, is indirectly interested in pa and Turkey, as a center of population in a great. trial country whose prosperity is vitally connected the commerce between the United States and these pakening nations. As their means of intelligence and Hom expands and their demands for American in- products increase, Bismarck will share in the Prosperity of such trade. The places that sell direct rule of the Angora government and, with Egypt, about 36,000,000. They are so much more civilized than China with its 400,000,000, it is entirely probable that, at the outset, American farm and industrial machinery might develop a greater demand for these products there than the China market might afford. But physically China present~ the greater opportunities. The vast ma- jority of its people, at present, use almost nothing that does .1ot come from their own vicinity. But the new re- gime in China, seeking to rehabilitate the country, has great pl: 1s fo> raising its economic level. It is now pro- jecting a $10,000,000 :oad building program, and hopes it will be merely the first step ir a general awakening. It is easy to figure out the tremendous demand for gcods the: will come if these 400,000,000 Chinese are lifted even sligutly in the economie scale. American indus- trialists who are prompt in cultivating the Chinese field s*-~d to reap huge dividends a few years from now. So the work of Jimmy Yen.in the Y labor camps in the World ~.: which Mr. Jackson so entertainingly de- scribed takes on at once the proportions of an educational m's--'e, He taught coolies to read, and the acquirement of the ability to read is spreading among ‘hese lowly Chinzse. Therein lies a possibility of China coming into a modern duction. And with that acquired the modern wonder of China repeating the awakening of Japan is not at all an impossibility. ‘WAY OVER YONDER’ Dr. © les Edward Bishop has been made a professor emeritus 'y the University of West Virginia. After spend- ing 50 years studying and teaching Greek, he has retired from active service; but he retains a desk in the uni- versity hall which houses Greek statuary, and there he re- mains every day, moving quietly about among the relics of an ac: that passed away more than 2000 years ago. The old gentleman explains his refusal to leave the Pre th=-3 “I found Greek too interesting to give up. I love to study it; ere is such a bigness to the classics—such a way-over-yonder-ness to it.” It is a homely expression that he uses; an informal, folksy sort of remark to make about a subject that us- un..y Calls for stilted language and flowery verbiage. But it shows very plainly just how he feels about it, and some- hew it mckes one feel that this old gentleman, retired to the very modest comfort of a superannuated professor's pension, is fortunate and contented. ‘There are various kinds of success stories afloat in this country, and most of them begin with the subject slaving for a dollar a day and end with the same man lolling at his ease in a Long Island estate, with a $100,000-a-year income and a stable of blooded servants—no, wait, it’s blooded horses. Anyhow, they represent success chiéfly as a steady upward climb in the financial world, and that’s too bad. It’s quite possible for a man to retire, in his 70's, on $40 a week, and still be eminently successful. The ends that men seek in this world are many and varied; but nearly all of them—the ones worth pursuing, that is—are built about some phase or other of that “way- over-yonder-ness” that Dr. Bishop speaks about. Every man, in his youth or later, gets a gleam from “way over yonder.” Sometimes it's one thing, and some- times it’s another; but always it is something more or less apart from the workaday world—a glimpse of a feirer time, perhaps, either in the future or in the past, in which one’s possibilities in life could be given fuller rein, in which there would be fewer of the things one does because one has to, and more of the things one does be- cause one likes to. And most of us, more or less unconsciously, spend the greater part of our lives looking for a realization of that gleam, For, in point of fact, we are not satisfied with our’ world. We know it could easily be a much better place than it is. We keep that vision from “way over radio and China flour have relations to this | yonder” tucked away in the back of our heads, and be- cause we have seen perfection we fret at having to en- dure perfection, So th» old professor at West Virginia University is fortunate—and successful. At the close of a lifetime of work he is able to retire to a quiet nook and steep him- self in the things that come from “way over yonder.” Most of: us never get that close to it. Old age and com- Parative ncverty are cheap prices to pay for it. | Editorial! Comment | MAKING THE WORLD SAFER (New York Times)’ The United States has officially cooperated with the Scction of the Léague of Nations which is seeking to make the world as safe a place as possible for human be- ings to live in. The anonymous author of “The Great Analysis” said many years ago that we are no longer ex- posed to human incursions from the unknown. There is no spot on the globe from which new enemies may emerge. Every land area, except the continent around the South Pole, possible though not probable islands '‘hid- den by the mists over the North Polar Sea and insignifi- cant isles and atolls in other parts of the globe, has been explored, and elsewhere there are no inhabitants to burst forth upon a world that is planning to outlaw war. Yet no country is safe against certain lilliputian ene- mies that lurk unseen and gather strength in jungle, pond or other unguarded place, employ insects as their transportation agents and so invade whole populations and menace even civilizations that have found the way to Peace. Dr. George E. Vincent, president of the Rocke- feller Foundation, which has done such a great service in fighting these inveterate and till now invincible ene- mies, again calls attention to the world campaign. Forty- three nations already exchange information with respect to vital statistics through the International Office of Hygiene in Paris. This is basic to a study of general health conditions throughout the civilized world, and the are..: from which trustworthy and acceptable reports are made are gradually being extended. ‘The most significant development is the still wider and the more aggressive movement under the League of Na- tions, for besides gathering statistica it is active in guard- ing egainst the spread of epidemics, in vaccines and in many other ways applying what mod- ern medicine has learned in any part of the world to the Hie of its people. It is lec dp ite when one looks 9 tion by reason of what is being done to prevent both devastatins wars and decimating epidemic diseases and to promote health.
