THE INSURANCE AGENT.
The other day a distributor left In the editorial rooms of the Tribune desk blotters bearingr some facetious "office rules." One of the rules read, "Office hours, to hear Insurance agents, from 11 p. m. to 1 a. m." It emphasized the hypocritical attitude of the public toward the men engaged in this business^ The occasional publication of life insurance statistics has an impressive meaning on account of the formidable appearance of the aggregate sums. When it 1s said that in this country and Canada at the beginning of this year there were 39,800,000 policies outstanding, providing for an Insurance to American families of funds amounting to $21,456,000,000, the mind Is dazed by the incomprehensible sum total.
It is only when the current receipts and payments are stated that the figures come within comprehension and then they are pretty formidable. An Insurance publication puts the total payments on account of policies In the United States and Canada last year at $686,700,000, of which $453,060,000 was on account of death claims, and the rest for premium savings, surrender Values and annuities. This Is equivalent to paying over In a year about two-thirds of the amount of the national debt and much more than the entire cost of the Panama canal. £"*What Immense benefit these annual disbursements confer on their recipients can hardly be described. The blessings of receiving the life Insurance money on the part of the surviving widows and orphans when their providers depart from life are almost endless.
And yet how small, and In fact insignificant is the number of those who from their own promptings of heart for their dear ones are taking out life insurance policies. It Is hardly an exaggeration to say that probably over 95 per cent of the Insured have to be talked into taking out insurance by solicitors. Our insurance companies employ an army of agpents to go around induce "people to insure themselves most of these people fool themves by thinking that they consider the "Insurance agent" a bore and a nuisance. I
THE OPEN DOOR.
Rev. Sulger, of the associated charities, makes the point that the growing number of vagrants, fake cripples and indigents that ply their trade on tli^3treet, might be reduced did the c'm let it be understood that harsh treatment waited the offenders here. Rev. Sulger urges that the public draw the attention of the society committee to such appeals for aid, thus saving the people from being Imposed on and deterring an Increase from this element of undesirables. His point 1b well taken. One who gives a tramp a "handout" at the back door is doing himself, the tramp and the community an injustice. A city which, rightly or wrongly, gains the reputation of being composed largely of these back-door philanthropists, suffers In the long run.

For hoboss are persistent advertisers. They spread far and wide the glory of any city which shows special consideration of their kind.
Vagrancy will not succumb to the back-door treatment, any more than it will to the equally senseless plan of dumping trampa into the suburbs. Either scheme is mere temporizing, a shifting of responsibility, and leads to no good to anyone.
Quite probably, as progressive economists declare, the hobo is a product of social conditions. Perhaps he should be treated as an erring child, rather than an offender.
All right but that is no argument against the maintenance of a stone pile or some other effective means of discouraging vagrancy. Offender or erring Innocent, a few hours crushing stone in the primitive way might give the hobo a new viewpoint cn life.
GETTING BU8INE83.
Henry Ford, a few days ago, in addressing an organisation of advertising men, paid an impressive tribute to the power of newspaper advertising and incidentally gave some Interesting facts concerning his celebrated institution.
Th«^ are lucky people, the few men who bought stock of the Ford company when it started.
At present the company has only, eight stockholders. How much money Mr. Ford himself had invested la not known. All that has come to light is that so far he has received $27,250,000 in cash and dividends and $29,000,000 in stock dividends.
John S. Gray (deceased) lhvested $10,000 and his estate has received $5,000,000 in cash dividends and $5,200,000 in stock dividends.
John F. Dodge, Horace E. Dodge, Horace E. Rock ham and John W. Anderson, each invested $5,000 and each of them received $2,250,000 in cash dividends and $2,600,000 in stock dividends.
James Cotusens Invested $2,500 and received $5,000,000 in cash dividends and $5,200,000 in stock dividends.
R. V. Couzena invested $100 and received $47,000 In cash dividends and $50,000 In stock dividends.
Two foriner stockholders, Albert Btreow and A. Y. Malcomson, sold their stock too soon. Strelow had Invested $5,000 In stock and sold It for $26,000, while Malcomson, who had Invested $7,000, sold his holdings for $175,000.
Mr. Ford's product filled a public want. However, he evidently concedes to newspaper advertising its full quota of credit in upbuilding the industry.
OPENED BY MISTAKE.
Mr. Cleary, at the postofflce, the other day, demonstrated the elasticity of the parcels post by sending a feather bed thuswige for a patron of the office. In this respect Terre Haute seems to have outdone Washington, for the department now comes along with an order saying that packages the size of standard fruit and berry crates may now be sent by mail. Mr. Burleson extends the size limit of parcels that may be dispatched by parcel post from sev-enty-two inches", length and girth, to eighty-four inches. That, declares the head of the nation's postoffice, takes in crates.
So the urban father of a hungry family may now write to his country cousin, requesting him to mail a crate of cherries, another crq.te of raspberries and a third one of currants—mail them, understand—and they win
be
delivered in due course by a gentleman in the livery of Uncle Bam. Send the cousin a check to cover cost and postage, and the transaction is complete.
Statistics may be lacking to prove that the parcel post has reduced the cost of living. But, at least, the department has used every reasonable means to fit the agency to the need. An interesting symposium of opinion as to the postmaster general's berry crate order might be obtained by interviewing any well selected group of middlemen.
It appears that the Jury In the Thaw case did not consider the testimony of the alienists. This Is more flattering to the Jury than to the alienists.
Canton, the home of McKinley, is to hajve a new steel plant. How can this be under a democratic tariff? Shades of Aldrich and Payne!
San Francisco is neutral, anyway. It celebrated Independence day by watching a military parade and listening to Mr. Bryan.
After the cross-examination comes to an end the alienist must feel that he has earned his money.
Speaking of nice summer Jobs, New York has employed a man to censor bathing suits.

During the next week it will be wise to conserve energy and to guard the health.
Children continue to be prominent in the consideration of the seers who declare that the stars presage new social conditions in which the world will assume a protecting power.
Conditions today are stimulating to athletics and to exercise. It to a lucky time for those who practice muscular development or take part in activities requiring strength and agi\lty.
Under this configuration success through the qualities of energy and resourcefulness is supposed to be easier than at other times.

Trustee Powers Promises Action Against Delinquents. Notices were sent out Saturday morning by Township Trustee Andrew Powers to dog owners in the township giving them sixty days in which to pay delinquent taxes before the matter is placed in the hands of the prosecuting attorney, '-"rustee Powers says majority of dog owners have failed to pay their taxes, and some action will be taken unless the taxes are paid within the time given. Township Assessor J. Harry Miller Friday turned over $428 collected for dog tax, and this is said to represent only a small part of the owners in the township.

HOROSCOPE.
"The Stars incline, But Do Nnt Compel." Copyright, 1915, by the McClure
Newspajer Syndicate.)
Sunday, July 18, 1915.
This is a doubtful day, according to astrologers, for Mercury, Saturn and Venus are strongly adverse, while Mars alone is in beneflc aspect.
With Mars friendly the sway should be an auspicious one for engineers, machinists and carpenters. Great demand for labor that is skilled and for men with inventive talent is indicated. The winter will bring huge opportunities, but Btrike difficulties are stillforeshadowed.
Magazines are subject to a rule held to be unfortunate. The majority of the cheaper periodicals will wane, it is said and conditions of publication will change.

SUBURBAN DAY LISTS
Get Ready for Next Visit of Out-of-Town Buyers—Appreciate Support Given.
A complete and detailed account of the bargains which will be offered at the next occasion of the city's retail trade day, which comes next Wednesday, was prepared by the merchants of this city Saturday in order that they would be ready in time for the Monday edition of the Tribune. Great care was exercised by the merchants in the preparation of these lists so that their patrons will be able to form a comprehensive idea of the exceptional values which will be offered on the next Buburban day.
This practice has been in the pa#£ received by the people of the surrounding country as one of the best evidences of good faith on the part of the merchants to supply the people with a knowledge of what Is really to be nad over the counters at the sale. No expense has been spared in the production of these announcements in ord?r that they may appear as attractive as possible and give to the people the information which they desire }n the manner which will give them the beat idea of what the day offers.
Plans were also being discussed In retail trade circles whereby the coming day will be marked by the biggest and best offers which have ever been made. The merchants of the city think that the support which the people of the surrounding country has given In making the day a success and thereby not only benefiting themselves but also the rest of the city, deserves all that they can do as a token of appreciation.
Not only do the merchants appreciate the support which has been given, but also the people of the town are beginning to realize that the residents of the surrounding country have done a great deal of good for the city by trading here. It is not simply that they bring money to the city, though this fact is a big benefit, but rather because they come to the city and make it a place where they trade. They impose their confidence in the merchants and in consequence the latter feel that they cannot do too much to repay them.

GOES ALONE TO TJ. S. PRISON.
Aged Swindler Allowed to Make Trip Unaccompanied. NEW YORK, July 17.—UnaOfcompapied by guards, David Essacson, convicted of swindling, leaves here today to serve a sentence of a year and a day in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. The experiment of allowing Essacson to go to prison alone and unguarded is a new Idea of the federal authorities here.
The United States marshal trusts Essacson to appear at the penitentiary on time chiefly because he is 60 yeprs old, in feeble health, and because his bail bonds do not expire until he delivers himself to the warden. Essacson was head of the Kalos Manufacturing company, and is said to have derived about $500,000 from the sale of outfits for making medallions

The sale of the bonds ends several months of negotiations on the part of the board to raise money for new school buildings. The board voted for the bond issue In February and since that time has been studying the financial market to gpt offers for them. The sale of the bonds means that the departmental school will be erected at an early date, members of the board said.
The original cost of the new school on the Kafader property, which will be known as the "William E. McLean school, was estimated to be $225,000. Members of the board say this cost will be reduced considerable. Rodney Leonard drew the plans for the building and they include a large auditorium, a gymnasium, sewing rooms, cooking rooms, shop work rooms and recitation rooms.
By a unanimous vote the salaries of the janitors and engineers of the city schools were raised about four per cent. This will increase the annual pay roll about $2,000. Practically every janitor In the city Is Increased from $1 to $10 a month. The salary schedule for library assistants was presented by Mrs. Sallle Hughes, librarian, but was not acted on. The schedule provides for a maximum of $80 a month and minimum of $50. The present schedule is from $45 to $60 a month.
Arthur J. Mattox was elected as an assistant in the manual training department of the city schools. The resignation of N. G. Wann, physical director of the schools, was accepted. Mr. Wann has accepted a position as athletic director of the James Milliken niversity.
