Tho next thing‘in ordur was tho reading of THE ANNUAL ADDRESS NY THE PRESIDENT of tho Association, Judge Azel W. Spaliting, of St. Louis, Tho address opened with a retrospeetl glanco at the teconnini meeting, which wns roe ferrad to ne tot only important but praphetie. In attendances It was the targest and probably tho. most representative of any at tholt gathorings. It was held at the clos of an eventful period in Amorienn fire-ingure ice history, A review of which embraced two ‘ust conflagritions, tho experimental exercise af centralized power {1 an effort at reform, and tho illustration of what a prostrative policy o! business wil do fur underwriting capital. *Sinco tho Inst recline tho managers had thrown out a tew skirmish-ling, and the Agsu- clution entered upon its second iecude uuder amaterially changed condith in the insuranca buatnese of tho Weet, The past year had tested, Af nat established, tho value of a inion, With out au appnrent executive fend, (t stood is xutrautor for tho observance of rules and rates whiett wore estatillshed La the localingentathert> selves, While tho life of this system depended argely upon the goo! humor which had marked the past, year of oxperimontal work, the reeny- nition of ‘tha value of the local agent is ats (ie surance factor was congplonous tt contrast with former methods, If the present axperiment Tpencd Into permanent organizadon, the union established [ts strength by tha absence of cen- tralized and arbitrary power, THE PRESENT UNUEALTUY CONDITION OF PUD’ LAU OPINION upon fire- insurance matters arose Inrgely from popular fynorsnee, in the nbsonce of a teacher, and purtty from wrongdoing by the tnder- writers, All this, ho belloved, could bo rev zed. ‘The question wae stthinitted (Ff the means suggested to mold public opinion in their interest would not prave less epeneles and uore potent than nt professional lobby or tndl. vidual effort, White so nenr the halls of texls- Jaton, It might be well to string n Slite Board bea upon the line of the vitlied polley lnws, And this led the Prosident to refer to those Inwa ns thoy exist in Wisconsin, Oblo, and Missouri, The ‘condemnation of them by under- writers wis foud, but, unfortunately, not effective. In his opinion, thoy were lurgely traceable to those companies dolng 1 large turin Duaineas upon n system which resulted in over- Insumnes in priotice, if net in theory.

No one would expect perfection, wero all insurance-mon working in harmony and in at axvocinted enpacity to-day, for perfection required tine.
