ee Published by the Press Publishing Company Entered at the I Office at New Yor LAG scenes conwen weeren ere “Knowledge Is Power” (?) In the light of the insurance dis- closures some of the old adages VOLU seem to require revision, In pat- ticular, that to the effect that “knowledge is power” has been dealt a blow by President Richard A, McCurdy, of the Mutual Life. To judge from his testimony it Is largely because of what he does not know that he is valuable to the company. Mr. McCurdy, as ne took pains to emphasize, is “neither the treas- urer nor the actuary” of the company and does not concern himself with details, even when they run into the hundred thousands. He has culti- vated an inexactness of knowledge with regard to the company’s busi- ness which has resulted in a cheerful vagueness and indefiniteness of un- derstanding. In answer to his “inquisitor’s" questions he “thought” and “be- lieved" and “had the impression” that matters were probably as repre- sented, but he had no direct acquaintance with them, Legal expenses and lobby funds were details with which he did not burden his mind, When he saw a voucher properly signed and stamped he knew it had been paid, but for what purpose he could not tell. It was not his place to “stand be- fore the cashier's window all day and watch vouchers pass through.” He knew nothing of retainers to former Assemblymen. He knew nothing about large payments to legislative agents or the purpose of checks to the amount of $100,000 drawn by the chairman of the Committee on Ex- penditure. On most vital points of company management his lack of official knowledge was extensive and varied, Ignorance was bliss for him. That adage at least retains its old force in a case where lack of knowledge is worth $150,000 a year, Ideals in Life. Some years ago a young artist who had studied at the Art Students’ League sent a sketch to Life. He received $4 for it. He followed this with other sketches on similar lines, and soon the Public became aware that there was an American Du Maurier, The “Gibson girl” is now the typical representative of American woman- hood, and as such almost as familiar to British eyes as here. She made her creator famous before he was thirty. She has since bought a $100,- 000 house for him and luxuriously furnished it. She introduced him into club life and into society and for several years has enabled him to earn @ annual income of from $65,000 to $75,000. Is there any romance in| — — art to compare with this? The Gibson girl has been a Lady Bountiful fo a unique sense, Now, at thirty-eight, and in the full tide of fame, Mr. Gibson an- Nounces that he “has bought his freedom” from the slavery of black| 7 the Bator r of “Broken-Hearted Moth- | mis Is so pitiful that I cannot help but | rary enough to live on comfortably and henceforth he will devote himself to} advise her.
