The reason it has not been felt is that the companies are enormously wealthy, So ‘Wealthy, in fact, that it is hard to realine.

The tone and temper of the present Will be forced, Aa it now stands, the situation is NOT one to precipitate a panic @mong policy holders. In some ways it is reasuring. It is fortunate that the exposure, though delayed, came at a time when it can insure the integrity of the great bulk of the surpluses and reform the stew- ardship thereof. Among thom, the New York Life Insurance company, the @ble Life Assurance society and the Mutual Life Insurance company have over $4,500,000,000 worth of insurance in force. ry cent of this is more than paid for by itself under the rates in force in those Companies. It amounts to the policy holder simply piling up his Money in the companies" treasuries to have it paid to him at his Geath, and this money reinvested provides an tncome for the com- panies so ample that millions skimmed from {t have not weakened Mt vitally. These three companies have gross assets, according to their Feports-—and these reports cannot be much magnified—ot $1.- The total number of policy holders in these three companies is ‘about 3,000,000. Every one of them has probably wondered whether Bhis investment is safe. There is no doubt that ft is, and there is @ven the opportunity to make the present scandal in life insurance ‘turn out a blessing, which may ta ke the form of direct control of the companies’ affairs by the policy bolder, the institution of immediate instead of deferred dividends and perhaps a reduction of the rates, to a helping from this sfied with the mere fact of the ent to see the surplus increase 8 of this A cor ey.

Can a man making $65 a month resist the temptation ta take a package containing $100,000 and make off with it? Edward Cunliffe, now langutshing tn fail in Pittsburg. could not. For just such a crime was Cunliffe tmprisoned—and under just Buch circumstances. Cunliffe was cashier for the Adams Express company in Pittsburg office. Cunliffe was paid $65 a month. Cunliffe handled millions of dollars every month. And the constant temptation to seize some of this wealth and Make it his, finally overcame him, and he succumbed, fled and was captured. Now he is a common felon. But he still is a man—with a man's frailties and a man's de- aires. And there are men right here tm Seattle who have the same ard fight to wage—men who also let roli through their hands, Bundreds of golden eagles—men who daily must wage right of reas- @n against cupidity—of right against wrong. The average wage of the bank clerk, trust company employe or express cashier in Seattle is—$75 a month. And the money-handiers of Seattle are just as prone to bend to ‘the dictates of temptation as are those of any other city. And yet employers knowing the weaknesses of men—and them- gelves weak—constantly dangle this golden temptation before the eyes of their underpaid hireling» And marvel and storm and acicuse and sit [In judgment upon their @mployes when one of them gives up the fight for good—and goes to the bad. “Pay your men better—give them something to live for and to lve with—remove from before them this golden temptress who lures ‘With a deadiy beauty and a deadlier promise of life's pleasure’—this fe the cry of the down-trodden m oney-handlers, not only here in Se- attle, but all over the world, whore men exchange and barter and hold forth in the market place. the Immorialy and Food Bieosed is the simple life. Immorality in the high circles of society ts due to th Which the wealthy people live. So says Bugene Christian, the food expert. In a recent address before the National Purity league, Mr. Chris- tlan said: “Highly spiced and seasoned foods, such as are eaten by the Wealthy classes, have a tendency to over-excite the passions, thus @aking immorality easy. Plain, healthful, but coarse foods build up the laborer mentally, moraily and physically. This student of foods declares that a shocking immorality ex- fats in the society of the very wealthy. The food they eat, together ‘with idleness, is the cause of the loose morals. Therefore, Mr. Workingman— Do not complain of your plain, nutritious fara, It is conducive to morality. Plain living and high thinking, you know, go together, Reflect how the physical and mora! well being of the rich {s ruined by high living, while your coarse food leads to philosophy and good content. For thus do the laws of compensation hold. The rich man cannot steal your stomach. —_—- Even if it does cost #0 a day when young Bob McCurdy travels, Perhaps the policy holders won't murmor if he will only start and keep on traveling. food on a Emperor William In an auto amashup, Very spectacular, but not Qs impressive as a “run in” with the Stegomyia Fasciata in New Orleans. rr ers would insure Carnegie tn the world. holder, eh? soy that an peace And the other nations to play the part of the policy t! » of three pow LOVE STORIES AND A CONTRAST BY PRI DENCE MANNEN A very fetching little story 1 tof “Princess Alice No one doubts for a moment that the two principals only » Interference «of changed the natural course of thing That @ the way it Is done in Amert It was not #0 long ago that a grand duke, And he loved her rhe their mutual affection was noble and self going the rounds just now about the the mateh has been made by father, or state, bas Russia loved a has proven that qualities prov a of uteome acrificing duche ing ite truth Interests of state—a potent argument in thelr country ” lod the duchess to marry another man, She dutifully «aw no more f the one she really loved.
