The Parkersburg Sentinel calls*
Attention to the co-insurance clause
attached to insurance policies. Tlii.
ia an Important matter to propert>
holders, especially those who do not
injure for fufi value, and we repro
duce the same:
The partial burning of the. Hughc-s
K■ Mullen block has caused some
discussion of the “coinsurance"
• clause which is attached to many
. policies. Very few insured know
what the “coinsurance" feature slg
. nifles to them. In this particular
case there was a policy of $2,000.
snd there was a loss of probably
$r»,000. The Insured under the co
! insurance clause will in this in
stance only he paid three or four
t hundred dollars. It •seems a prop
er suggestion to make that every
policyholder carefully scrutinize his
policy and see if there he a coin
surance clause attached to it, and
if th< re he one. what it means Gen
erally when a person buys protec
tion against flr<* for a giv'-n sum
and pays the premium on the
amount set forth in the policy he
Assumes that h< is insured for that
much, Hut it frequently happens
that after, never before, a fire oc

The novel spectacle of a Repub
lican legislature electing a b'ino
cratic senator, will be pr* seated in
the state Of Oregon.
By popular vote Oregon has in
dicated a prefen*uce fur (ieorge (;,
chamberlain. Democrat. over S-na
tor Fulton, the present Incumbent,
and a aufflcient number of the
members of tie* legislature have
sign'd an agreement to elect the
popular choice. in many rcg|>cctH
Oregon has adopted advanced leg
islative ideas. Popular election of
I’nlted States senators and the Ini
tiative and referendum seem to be
well established The single tax,
woman's suffrage* and the recall
amendment to the constitution were
however, dc.ellned hy the el«*ctorate
at this election. Wherever tried,
popular election of ('tilted States
senators has almost invariably met
with approval. Illinois set the ex
ample gome fifteen years ago. when
John M. Palmer won his election. A*
number of western states have
adopted the popular vote method
and It seems to be grawing In fa
vor. It is open to one great objec
tion. That is, only a very rich man
can afford to make an electoral
content in every county In a large
state. Just complaint is oft'-a made
of the gross misrepresentation of
constituents by legislators, but it is
doubtful if popular elect it a ia will
always accampllah more satisfactory
results. Intelligencer.
