Harvey, Fellow of the In- stitute of Actuaries, and a consulting actuary, has a very able article on "Fratérnalism the Solution of the Ex- pense Problem in Life Insurance' in the Insurance World. Actuary Harvey is one with 'old line insurance leanings and training. The thorough and com- | prehensive comparisons which he has instituted between the fraternal or- ders and the old line ¢gompanies has led him to conélusions that ought to he interesting to all fraternalists. He summarizes the report of eighty-one old liné, industrial and ordinary, as per their reports for the year ending 31st' December, 1903. These companies had 19,239,972 policies in force; they received | in premiums $447,197,530; their getual expenses and management were $121,950,708; their mean insur- ance ih force was $11,036,251,000; and their expense of management on insur- ance in force was 1.10, and the per- centage of expense of manage ment to premiums was 27.27. Excluding the industrial companies, it is shown by Actuary Harvey that the percentage - of expenses on in- surance in force per £1,000 was 904, and the percentage . of expenses of management on, premiums received was 24.13. Mr. Harvey then takes twenty of the largest fraternal societies as forming a fair ayeérage of the whole. These twenty have a me mbership of 3,274,- 657: their expenses of every descrip- tion for 1903 were $5,145,577, and their mean insurance in force was $2,- 903,571,000. Their percentage of ex- penses was A105, as compared with 1.10 for the industrial and ordinary old, line companies, In other words, the expense element was $10, as com- pared to $1 of the fraternal societies, Actuary Harvey closes his article as follows >" "It gannot, T think, be ques- tioned that reform is needed, but it will never take place until the public awakes to the fact that it is yearly paying An fnormous sum unnecessari- ment actually expended is $54, 633,976 upwards of $54,000,000 per annum. All of this would have been saved if com- panyism was conducted on the same it_ought to be. Every gentleman re presenting frater- nal societies should carefully ponder these figures, and every citizen should also read them care fully. They contain information which is at once striking and 'thibst aiiying to fraternalists.-- Yours, CITIZEN -------- Office and Residence, 64 William Street | <.. waldron's Telephone 378. * RONEY & CO'S Bla CLOTAING SALE Have You Had Your Share of the Bargains ? join with the hundreds of pleased customers who have made purchases hare during Is Drawing to a Close.

SEEKS PRESIDENCY.' Tom L. Johnson Expects the ; Backing of Dunne. TOM L. JOHNSON, Chicago, July 7.--Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, has his eye on the presi- dency. He will seek the democratic nomination for presidéncy in 1908. If he gets it he will run on a platform declaring for government ownership of telegraphs, telephones and. railways. These statements are freely made in political circles in Chicago. These ambitions are said to be the underlying motive of Johnson in tak- ing 30 active an interest in the effort to municipalize the Chicago traction lines, Mayor Dunne is grooming the Cleveland man for 'the presidency and, it is understood, hopes to deliyer him the IHinois delegation. DEATH IN A KISS. The Facts Related at Medical Gathering. Dr. T. H. Thomtan, of Consecon, at a medical council in Toronto, re- lated a significant case that had come under his observation. A young girl from Consecon had gone to visit relatives at ~ Kingston. While there she had kissed a person afflicted with tuberenlogis, and in this way eon tracted the malady. On her return to Consecon she, in turn, was kissed by several friends in the village, and hy this means three families became in- fected with the disease and three deaths resulteds The malady he re- garded just as contagious as small- PoX,' and 'in order to stamp it out, or at least prevent its spread, provision should be made so that eonsumptives could be isolated and at the same time given the treatment necessary t; their recovery.

Toronto,' July 5-47 he Rditor): Over a week ago, there appeareil in the daily papers a "so-dalled report of some discussion regarding the report of the Lo : Day Alliance committee The Oxford Chancellor Range has two distinct grates and fire-box linings for coal adapted by the Chuveh-of -E d Synod of the Ontario diocese, That re- port purparied to state what G, F. Ruttan of Ni apahee, said, and did not even suggest what was contained in the synod committee's report, which strongly supported the Lord's Day Al- liance, and was. unanimously carried. Surely the report was more important than the remarks of a member of the synod, and yet even these vemarks were incorrectly stated, and appeared | under glaring headlines doing a gross injustice to Both the Church of Eng- land and the Methodist church, as well as to' Mr. Rattan. 1 wrote Mr. Rut tan about the matter, and quote from his reply, dated June 98th, as follows: "In reply to vours of the 27th inst. would say that T deeply regret that my remarks at the session of the On- ~tario Svnod should have heen report ed as they were, In speaking on dan- other subjéet, 1 incide nally remarked that the Sunday xe ursion referred to by you, was one got up to acoom- modate people: who svished to atfend the Methodist. conference at Picton, and I further stated that I believed that the excursion was promoted by the captain of the steamer Reindeer. I have no reason to believe it was pro- moted hy the Methodist church. T am in sympathy with, the d.ord"s Dav Al liance in obtaining one day of rest under the statute laws of Canada for the laboring péaple, and must say that it is unfortunate that the re- porters for the public press cater so much to the sepsationgl loving pub- lic. "Make such nse of this letter as vou wish in comeing the false im- pression given," I_ hope you will give this lotter a prominent plage jn your columns, and thus help to correct a very great and grave wrong to the Christian church, and to an important! ecause~--T. AL- BERT MOORE, Secretary, Lord's Day Alliance. . This letier would pass without com- ment did not Mr. Ruttan go out of his way to have.a fling nt mewspaper fellows. Their. catering to sensational. ism is not very evident in connection |' with Ontario Synod, whose treatment hag Seen kindly and. indulgent. Assur- edly Mr. Ruttan was understood as reported. Interviews with members of svnod to-day - unhesitatingly confirm this view. Mr. Ruttan's remarks were not made when Mr. Moore was pres- ant in synod, nor upon the alliance committees report, hut was interject ed into the educational debate. The alliance report came np several hours later, and was passed without reading or comment, having heen printed, Tf Mr, Ruttan's. remarks had been made, as they should. have boen when Mr, Moore was before the synod, all mis- understanding would have been avoid- ed, in the explanations exchanged.
