Down With the Roller Towel
When tlie Travelers' Protective Association of lowa
net recently, the members in good standing didn't waste
any fleeting moments on pate legislation or race suicide.
The minutes of the previous meeting were road and ap
proved, iind then there was organized a crusade for liberty
and freedom and better conditions that may go ringing
down the channels or history thereabouts.
Those drummers are going to fight the HOTEL ROL
LEB TOWEL with a boycott that 1 ias seven rows of teeth
and meaens business.
That same towel is a wonder. Its natural setting is a
hostelry where laundry soap is used for shaving purposes
and where everybody calls the landlord "Si." The girl
who waits on the table has seen hotter days. If you look
sympathetic she will tell you about it. THE Fool) IS

WEIGH A POUND EACH AND THE COFFEE IS NEI
THR MOCHA NOR JAVA, BUT A LIQUID INSPIRA
TION FOR CRIME. THE HAIR BRUSH IS POVERTY
STRICKEN AS TO BRISTLES, AND THERE ISN'T
ANY COMB.
But the towel!
The young fellow who clerks in the One Price Clothing
Store gets the first look at it and he is followed hy the loco
motive engineer who loys over at that town and eats at the
hotel. He leaves his mark, all light. A dozen more come
in a hurry, and most of them sozzle a hit at the sink, take
their turn at the towel, and hustle into the banquet room.
And along ahout the time when the ax is being applied
to the dried apple pie. the member of the Travelers' Pro
tective Asociation of lowa, who has heen trying to sandbag
a hill of goods into the store of the village grocer, arrives
on the scene. He has the final wipe on the roller towel. It
is wet ami clammy and limp. It looks like a war map of
Manchuria. A Sherlock Holmes could analyze it and name
the vocation of every guest in the hotel. The drummer
curses the luck ami wonders why the hoard of health does

And so the fight is on.
More power to the Travelers Protective Association.

Because Mrs. Effie K1 ink spanked the children of Mrs.
[Wm. EOink, her sister-in-law, she is spending three days in
the Sioux City, la., jail. She flatly refused to pay the fine
put upon her for disturbance of the peace, preferring the
martyrdom of incarceration.
"Those children needed a spanking, M she said to the
judge, "and if their mother won't spank them, somebody
must."
Mrs. Erne has fine spunk. And she stands upon firm
(socio!t>gical principles. It is a pity she has to languish in
iail while there are so many children sorely in need of
good sound spankings.
Every state has its penitentiary, every county its jail,
every suhdivisJon or society its procedure for punishment,
until we strike the family, the foundation rock of all socie
ty; and there all system of judgment and punishment is
utterly wanting.
The office taken upon herself by Mrs. Kffie Klink might,
if consistently kept up, revolutionize society at its foun
tain head.
The average mother spanks her children whenever she
feels badly. The average father relieves himself of indig
nation or husiness worry hy a resort to the rod upon his
unoffending offspring.
The right to spank their children is an inalienable right
of every parent. It seems to he the only satisfaction a lot
of parents get out of them.
But the family spanking is entirely without system, in
most cases. And, then, it is said there are cases where the
spanking hurts the parent more than it does the child.
In such cases as these, the ohliging sister-in-law, who is
ahle to see when the children need a spanking and to give
it to them, ought to he regarded not as a disturher of the
peace, hut. as a blessing.
Unfortunately, however, parents in general neglect
many other things rather than fail to spank their children.
They seem not to realize that child-training includes self
training as its first and most essential element.

SUPERVISION OF
LIFE INSURANCE
CHAPTER IV. |
The first Insurance department In
the t'nited States was established
in Massachusetts in 1855. Previous
ly, supervision had been exercised to
some extent In other slates, especial
ly In New York, but a special depart
ment was not established In that
state until lss'J. Other states soon
created departments of supervision,
some copying tlie Massachusetts
features and some those of New York.
At present every state in the Union
exercises some supervision over life
insurance companies. Most of them
have special departments, but in some
cases the supervision Is In charge
of the secretary of state or other
state Official,
BliSUr W right was appointed com
missioner of insurance in Massachu
setts In 1858 nnd his selection was n
very happy one because he had a
keen insight into the needs of the
business and did much to put it on a
safe basis. Ho advocated a standard
of solvency and the legislature pass
ed a law requiring all life companies
doing business there to make a valu
ation of ail outstanding policies ac
cording to the Actuaries' Mortality
tabts and 4 per cent interest and re
port the same annually together with
the amount of their assets.
Since each state had its own laws
regarding the regulation of life In
surance, it was found expedient to
have them ns similar as possible in
the various states. Therefore a con
vention of insurance department of
licials was held In 1871 for the pur
pose of discussing the most advisable
means of supervising life insurance
and nlso of enacting legislation which
WOUld minimize the differences. Theso
conventions are still held every year
and the officials ale still working for
uniformity.
As each state requires companies
to furnish a statement of tlie condi
tion of their affairs each year it is
extremely desirable that similar re
ports can he made to each state, and
a uniform blank has now been used
for many years upon which com
panies are required to furnish de
tailed reports of assets und liabilities,
one of p/hich must balance the other;
also a detailed statement of income
and disbursements during the year.
The statement showing the condition
of the company on December 31 pre
ceding must be filed before tho first
of March, and must be sworn to by
principal officials of the company.
Borne states examine their home
Companies regularly every year,
others at less frequent periods, hut
whenever nn Insurance official has
reason to douht the eorreetness of
the stntement or the Bolveney of
any company doing business in Ills
statu, he may forthwith examine It
at ltß expense. The selected mm-

I iners, who consist of one or moro
competent, actuaries and a corps of
clerks, go to the home office of the
company, where they arc given ac
cess to all Its books, policies and
records. In case of a thorough ex
amination, every piece of property
which the company owns or has any
loan op, no matter where it is lo
cated, is appraised by properly se
lected appraisers, records of deeds
and mortgages arc investigated to
see that tlie titles are all clear, the
liability on each policy which the
company h is outstanding is figured,
its expenditures arc examined; In
fact a complete investigation of the
assets, liabilities and methods of
business i.s made.
If it is found that tlie company Is
pursuing methods which nre not con
ducive to the best interests of its
policy holders, these are pointed out
and reforms follow, Examinations
often result In showing that com
panies are even more favorably cir
cumstanced than their own reports
show. Only recently the examination
of a largo company resulted in the
examining department crediting it
witli over a million dollars more as
sets than it claimed,
Supervision of life Insurance hy
federal authorities has been advo
cated for years. Eltzur Wright rec
ommended it even as early as 1885,
nnd the ngltntion lias heen going on
more or less ever since. The Inter
est in this movement was consider
ably Increased when tlie bureau of
commerce nnd labor was established
a few years ago and more recently
When President Roosevelt recom
mended national supervision In his
message to congress. Many promi
nent officials of Insurance companies
are ln favor of it. One striking ad
vantage for the companies doing in
terstate business, which Us advocates
point out, Is that insurance laws to
which they conform would be uni
form throughout the country.
While there are many things in
state supervision which if corrected
would lighten tlie burdens of the
companies, yet the fait must not be
overlooked that In the last quarter
of the cntury (during which time
Oils supervision has been universally
exercised i the dearth of failures of
life insurance companies has made
B record that is not paralleled In any
other system of business.

do for any young man so favored

I was horn In Russia, My father
was a German and my mother a
Swede. As a youngster I longed to
be an athlete. Lacking early oppor
tunity fur scientific training I used
common sense. I did not abuse my
body by eating more than I could
easily digest, but I ate what I de
sired. I pampered a sweet tooth and
it did not hurt me. I tried to de
velop every muscle and ns a young
ster could run, swim, juggle weights
and box with boys twice my age.
At 10 I was an all-round athlete
and then secretly incubated the am

In the world. At a demonstration
by Invitation before !>r I. Krajewskl,
a prominent St. Petersburg phy

the ladder.
Since then I have heen around the
world, have participated In more than
300 wrestling matches in six years,
some with men who outweighed me
100 pounds, and I have not been de

When I go into a match I have
no idea of my program. Of course I

I conserve my strength until the
