Harry McIntosh - - Proprietor. some companies, which by rash and, b like methods iled loss and ‘disappointment among their members of the fraternal orders, says Inspector Hunter of Ontario in hig annual report. More strin- gent regulations and. an applica- tion of the necessary safeguards to prevent’ reckless competition have rendered it abundantly evident that the cause of previous failures was not any inherent defect in the prin- ciple, but the bad management of the companies organized under this system. The restrictions imposed on mu- tual fire insurance companies have resulted in increased public confi- dence and popularity, and such has been the growth of the system that by far the larger share of the busi- ness in rural districts is transacted on the mutual plau. Returns from 75 purely mutual companies show that they had a total of 87,718 poli- cies in force, their risks aggregating $121,925,359, With assets of $4,- 097,623, and liabilities amounting to $63,226. Their losses were. $224,747, and their total expendi- tures $346,786 as against an in- come of $362,192. There were in addition some other companies managed on par- tially mutual principles, which, with the strictly mutual organizations, made a total of 84 mutual com- panies of all classes. The risks cov- ered by the larger list reached the total of $148,250.500, and their surplus of general assets over liabil- ities was over $5,289, 169, while the new business effected during the year was $54,864,548. A QUESTION OF MORALS. The Chicago Times-Herald has “no words too emphatic or condem- nation too severe to‘ denounce the recent decision of the Philadelphi judge who ordered a man who had spent his employer’s money for drink to plead not guilty of embez- zlement.’, The judge held that: ‘Where a firm intrusts with, money a person whom it has reason to suspect of intemperate habits,and he does not appropriate the money to his own use or make off with it otherwise than to indulge in the gratification of his habit, employers must understand that it is extreme- ly doubtful whether the crime of em- bezzlement can be made out under such circumstances.” “The Times-Herald denounces this as ‘‘bad in law,- bad in logic ‘and bad in morals.” —_It quotes the well known axiom that drunkenness is no excuse for crime, and goes on to argue‘that, morally, this decision “Gs an outrage which should come asa shock to the community in which it was rendered,” and asserts that if it were generally followed in principle and the drunkard were eg eg 1 ‘bl ed bans y irresp there is no crime which he might not commit with impunity. ‘He should have no encouragement, and ‘should ‘be held, rather, to a greater |. accountability than has ever been demanded of him.” The Times-Herald says that ‘fone great defect of the temperance crus- sade hitherto has been thatit has giv- en him its tearsanddirecteditshatred scorn and indignation against the ed:with the latter's defense, but the coddling of drunkards is ‘a grevious and fatal mistake. It puts them’ in amood to excuse themselves and to calculate on futher indulgence. No one appreciates so shrewdly as they the tendency of the pleasing doctrine tliat they are not respon- sible.” : : _ Here ithits the temperance nail square on the head. The defects of the temperance movement are’ just those above stated. ‘The coddling of drunkards” has been a fatal mis- take, and employers are beginning to find it out. Not-only do they re- tuse to’ ‘coddle” drunkards, but to have anything to do with them. This will make for good morals and temperance. When the drunk- ard finds that his work and exis- tence depend upon his’ sobriety and reliability, and that he must give up drink or ‘hope of employment, all those worth saving’ will: give up driok,; and public morals will be improved.” ‘When such practices obtain, ‘the drunkard will ‘not be coddled— simply shunned and placed upon his own responsibility—and he will | ; We solicit a share of your Fall Trade bie} ‘You can also.
