It ts true that thus far there has been nothing to indtoate that ny policy holder need feel alarmed regarding his own Ind€vidual in- terest, but the dfaglosures of the methods follpwed by those having ® large measure of contro! in the Equitable soctety show a state of affairs which can only excite distrust. * Life insurance comes close home to the heart. The reasons which constrain most men to take out life insurance are grave and eighty. The average policy holder would sooner see any of his other investments put into jeopardy than his insurance policy, That is his protection for his loved ones after he is gone. ‘The officers of the Equitable, im general, the mon who carry on fhe great insurance business of the country should unite in demand- ing the fullest publicity concerning the methods by which a few men, controlling a few thousands dolla re’ worth of stock, managed a trust involving millions of other people's money. This is a good time to recall the words of President Roosevelt In his message to congress at the opening of the session last fail: “The business of insurance vitally affects the great mass of the People of the United States and is national and not local in ite ap- plication. It involves a multitude of transactions among the people Of the different states and between American companies and foreign governments. I urge that the congress carefully consider whether the power of the bureau of corporations cannot constitutioually be extended to cover interstate transactions in insurance.” If this idea did not appeal strongly to the public at the time ft ‘Was uttered, it certainly does ny How readily such an idea as this tan take possession of the people’ s minds and lead toa demand for Fadieal legislation has been shown clearly esough by the rapidity with which the public seized upon the proposal to vest in federal of- ficiais the power to fix railway rates. Uniess the big insurance com panies take satisfactory steps to meet the public demand for facts, can it be doubted that the senti- Ment in favor of a large measure of governmental regulation will Spread rapidly and become irresistible? The public will justly insist upon knowing with absolute certain- ty that the life insurance companies are sound and aafo, The Social Head of a Country Somebody wants to know how King Edward’s work compares With that of President Roosevelt's, and what Victoria's son really stands for in Great Britain.

The War on Lynching Gey. Folk has once more merited the comuvendation of the entire country for demanding that lynchers be brought to justice and that the hideous crime against law and order be wiped out af the state. 4% about the game moment, Gov. Deneen was signing the Dill of the Bitnels legislature legally defining a mob and providing a heavy gd for persons composing one, Phe only wonder is that public officials have so long been lax im this important matter. Por years America has been shamed before the world by lynch- ings and the officials sworn to sustain jaw seem never to have sus- pected that popularity aud public favor lay in doing thelr duty. The worst part of the disgrace has been in the defection of officials. he people of the north have long denounced lynchings in south, and rightly so. Viewed at a distance, they may be seen proper perspective and their bideousnens recognized. Not only that, we impartially see that lynchings are epidemic and that one outrage of the sort throws off the infection that leads to others, ‘We have seen lynchings in the last 15 years grow from a rare event into an almost daily occurrence, north and south. Meanwhile, the crime which it is supposed to check is enormously on the in- crease. ‘Wily? Beeause every outrage of the law which sends one brute to hell, lowers millions ome noteh nearer to the same brute condi- tion, Rioters against law may be honest in their intentions, but they are woefully in error as to the necessary effect of thelr work. Their faction is the deadiiest blow that can possibly be struck against the justice they claim to promote. It is the annihilation of the chief bul- wark of society.

Boom in Rainier Valley Property The residents and property own- ers in the district at the head of the Rainier Valley, especially along Rainier avenue from Jackson to At- lantic streets, are conseiderably ox- cited and much elated over the re- cont rapid rise in real estate valuc in that section. Several lots have recently been sold at $1,275.00 each, a figure which is 250 per cent of their cost lems than a year ago. Of fers of $2,000.00 and $2,500.00 for double corners hi been refused, and one owner has declined $5,- $00.00 for four lots which cost him less than $2,000.00 two years ago. As a rule, the holders of property are firm in their determination not to sell out now, but to remain where they can profit further by the rise which is bound to come. The Lewis-Littiefield Company, of 22 Haller building, which is exclu- sive agent for the property, has only very few Boulevard lots left and in view of the greatly increased de- mand and the corresponding rise in values, has raised its price from $700.00 to $1,000.00, at which figure several of the remaining lots have been spoken for The apparent certainty of the Jackson street regrade, and the other improvement work which is now being done in the vicinity of the Boulevard, seem to be the chief reasons for the real estate move- mont. It is said that Sixteenth avenue south, which lies just one block west of the Boulevard, is on the eve of an awakening even greater than that of the Boulevard, in compari son to its previous very quiet his- tory. At present, prices have not |rison, owing to the abundant sup |ply of vacant property which fully meets the increased demand. Those who claim to know, however, are prediet that the present figures, | about one-third of Boulevard pri are going to take a big jump as soon as the “visible supply” of market able property grows a little less.
