VOLUME 46........ 16,279, THE POLICY-HOLDERS HEARD. | Regular hearings on the Arm-) strong Insurance bills closed yester- day, the final address to the Com- mittee being made on behalf of the} policy-holders by a representative of The World. a The first day of the hearings, the previous week, was devoted entirely to representatives of the insurance ‘intere! Five or six big com- panies pleaded through Paul Morton and others to be allowed to go on as they had done. On behalf of sixty small companies helpful suggestions were made and the bills were in their main features supported. The second day, Thursday, the first hearing was accorded to the policy-holders. It was quite time. Mr. Untermyer’s excellent speech was, however, quite overshadowed in public interest by Andrew Hamil- ton’s dramatic attack upon the men who used the “yellow dog” funds ; knowingly and now disown their work, . Yesterday the public discussion was fittingly closed by The Morning | World, representing the thousands of policy-holders who have by letter | and by personal information placed their knowledge and their views at its disposal. What the public demand is, the Committee and the Legislature well! know. There is no mistaking that demand, no denying its force and its | justice. The bills should hass. The reform should be accomplished. The honor of the State should be protected against repetition of the| grave and great abuses which in the past its laws have permitted and its seal has sanctioned, H A STATE FARM FOR WOMEN. | A State farm for women such as is provided for in the Stanley As- sembly bill embodies an enlightened idea in prison reform. There are fully 800 women in the counties of New York and Kings alone under sentence for immorality whose records of offenses extend over periods of from five to twenty years. Some of them have been| committed as many as two hundred times. Imprisonment works no im- provement in their condition. They receive scant medical treatment, are improperly fed and suffer from lack of exercise. They leave the jail or the workhouse with the dive or the Raines law hotel their only refuge. The object of the proposed State farm is to furnish them with sani- tary surroundings, an outdoor life which will be physically helpful, indus- trial occupation for their mental improvement and a care and attention which will be generally beneficial. orld*s Home Magazine, Saturd The Pharisee By J.
