PROTECTION
Protection on an income producing life is clearly more neces
sary and valuable than protection on a, building that produces no
income. For should you suddenly die, it relieves your family
from future want and provides for the edueation of your children.
It is as much your plain duty to provide for the future needs
of your family as it is your plain duty to provide for their present
needs.
Should you live to attain the three score and ten years allot
-ted by the Good Book, a life pojicy will protect you from want in
your old age. Statistics show that in America 40 out of 100 men
who attain the age of 65 are paupers. -

The banking and credit systems of
the country should be sueh that money
Is available to be borrowed whenever
the credit Is a good one. The money
of any country should be perfectly
safe, and it should be flexible enougn
to Increase and decrease in tight and
flush times, or to make :ind move
crops and for Individuals to buy land
on which to make a living and other
wise. -'iieh a banking and financial
system would Include the following:
(1) Banks of IMscourt nnrt De
posit: These functions arc now per
formed In our country by the National
and State banking systems. The
fixe, volume of money they d"al In Is
augmented by an Issue of so-called!
bank notes on United ftats bonds.
This is as Inflexible as the capital
stock Is. Whenever the money In the
banks run out there Is i end to the
i redlt. This make It necessary for the
banks to be ultra-con-ervatlve and
charge h!(h intes of Inierst The
rate of Interest given by a bank of
discount and deposit with a perecnt
aite of the money Issued on assets
ought to be from three to five per
cent for normal loans.
(2) Hanks of Issue: One of the
finest things about our National bank
ing system as It has been for the last
.Mi years or more Is that money is
absolutely safe. Hut when the money
Hvnllalile Is exhausted, we ar at once
precipitated Into a panic. Maturing
obligations continue, and there Is no
money to pay with and no credit to
get any. In order to overcome thH
difficulty, a bank of Issue Is nec-s-sary.
or else a department of Issue
In the ordinary banks. jn order to
get this, the new banking bill now In
Congress provides for 12 or more
banks of Issue. ThP ordlnarv hanks
of comm-rcc and trade may apply to
these to Issue notes on assets, th" notes I
furnished by the various bunks being
the particular assets that are hypoth
ecated. The percentage of credit
make It a very small percentage
notes which may be Issued s limited
of the whole assets, so that the saf -ty I
continues in ne perrect. mere is a
board of Federal control to super
vise the Issue of the notes by the
Government which may bP put out on
credit, and this rami, board is charg
ed with the examination, publicity and
control of all banks.
ID Savings Hanks: A third kind
of bank exercising a most Important
Influence ever a peonies welfare In
the savings bank The-c banks are j
generally run under a Slate charter,
and the Federal Government has
nothing to do with them. Many of
them nre trusteeships
(4 I The Postal Saving Pnnk: The
P.o-'tal savings bank !s one of the most
conspicuously safe saving Institutions.
The money Is guaranteed by the Gov
ernment. The rate of lntere-t Is very
low. but the safety Is supposed to
counterbalance It. It Is not alone the
safety of the postal saving-, bank, but
the fact that small deposits can be
made, it Is essentially a savings bank
for that class of people who do not
understand banking much and for
children to save their pcnnle and
otherwise.

lack of acquaintance where money Is

would combine together, their credit
would be an sound and safe as It la to

the attention being- directed toward

recently that the sole preparation for

controlled largely by fear or perhapa
curiosity. To a considerable extent
this condition ft ill exists, but for
which, as stated, there Is no excuaa,

the necessity for ' attendance at the

the crops are made. Money borrowed
to buy 'land should be paid back by
Installments each year, for a period
of years to lie agreed upon. The
length of time for loans to buy land
should run from three to 10 years,
with an Installment each year to In
sure that the particular farmer is get
ting along In his payments. To buy
land on long credits must mean that
a payment must be made each year,
and then every year as the farmer
makes a payment he Is encouraged In
stead of being discouraged as he uaed
to be by the maturinjrf a note ahead
of him. If

plan at home or that of the big com-
pantos 'In the financial centers, might

the country, and the policy be taken
as part of the collateral. This would
distribute the money amongst the
policy holders aa It oifght to be, and
when the policy matured, either by
death or expiration, the debt on the
home or thp farm would be extin
guished. (8) Hanks of Issue: We already
have banks of deposit and discount,
both National and State. The propos
ed new bill provides for banks of is
sue. We are very well provided with
ordinary commercial savings banks,
although the spirit of thrift and
economy Is not very well developed in
some parts of the United Statas. The
postal savings banks are new, but as
a general rule they are making good
headway. The building and loan as
sociations are well dewoped and havs
an aggregate amount of money In
proems at saving exceeding 700.fl00.
000. The farmers' land credits
urn practically not at all develoDed.
Tne business of making .Insurance
money go Into a home or farm Is not
developed, although several Institu
tions are looking Into the subject.
The brinks of discount and deposit
snouia not give credit on land mort
gages. Their notes ought to run from
30 to 60 days on the average, and not
more. Money tied UP for long-time
loans on land Is not a commercial
banking business, but should only be
done as an Investment for money, or
by farmers' societies who will put it
out on the condition of annual pay
ments for the time of the loan, in
thP new banking proposition now bo
fore Congress, the issue nt oiwt
money will make it available for banKs
t- loan to farmers' credit societies for
a time corresponding wllh the ma
turity of the notes they take In turn,
and the asset currency will make

Into effect, all bnnks of discount and
deposit will be ablp to do better busi

money themselves, and yet with bet

Heoord Year In ' Japaoeoe Trade.
Japan's foreign trade in 1113 was
greater by $96, W.4t than tor; the
L previous record) year In. From
607.76,zo m im the 8&,37.4i
advance in ',Xll brought the grand
total up to 80l,8,4 ' These
urea are lor Japan proper. Taiwan
(Formosa), and Chosen (Korea), but
exclude tne Kwantung leoaed terri
tory, which serves largely aa a gate
way for Japanese Industrial effort In
Manchuria and the other northeast
ern provinces of China In 1912,
therefore, Japan'a foreign commerce
exceeded all prevloua records.
In numerous Important leaturea
the year recorded unprecendented re
sults ' Good crops as a rule at home
and In China contributed to stimu
late business generally. The demand
In the United States for raw silk, Ja
pan's chief staple export, continued
to Increase and although there was
a temporary depresalon following the
death of the late Em pier or, the year as
a whole proved to be the most suc
cessful in the history of Japan'a
rapidly expanding foreign commerce.
No doubt the moat significant fea
ture of the year waa th remarkable
advance In the sale of American
products, particularly raw cotton.
Heretofore the percentage rating of
the United States In exports to tha
Far East, as compared with Euro
pean countries, -rias been decldly unfa
vorable. but for 1912 America), in
eluding Hawaii and the Philippines,
took the lead In Japan's Imports. It
will be a difficult matter to hold this
highly advantageous position, al
though at this time. (April) the pros
pects for 1913 are satisfactory.
Japan continues to find the United
States its chief customer, that coun
try consuming, as a matter of fact
practically one-third of all that Nip
pon sells to the entire worm.
On the whole. 1912 was a record
breaker In the foreign commerce of
Japan, In both Imports and exports.
With settled conditions in China, the
opening of the Panama Canal, the
development of an increasing number
of Industries, a rapidly Increasing
population, and the exploitation of
commercial enterprises In Taiwan and
Chosen and the far northern ' provin
ces of the Empire, further, although
somewhat more conservative, ad
vances' In trade with the world may
be expected for many years.
Japan aims to build up some Indus
tries and its new tariff is assisting
in a measure to that end, as shown
by the preponderating Increase In
raw materials as compared with the
manufactured products now being
brought into the empire from the
family of Nations. At the same time
the total Imports continue to exceed
the exports, the balance of trade
against the country. Including Japan
proper. Taiwan and Chosen, being up
ward of $68,000,000 In 1912.
-When Murders Help Business.
The outrages at present being com
mitted by the suffragettes on build
ings all over the country, are having
at leaat one curious effect. They are
giving employment to thousands of
extra caretakers and watchmen.
It Is the same whenever any great
crime Is much in the public ,eye. In
fact, It is a poor murder that blows
nobody any good.
The trades that always benefit Im
mediately by a sensational murder
are the newspapers and the public
house trades. Particularly in the dis
trict round where the murder has
been committed, publicans always get
a full house. People who are not
regular frequenters drop In to discuss
the news.
Shops that Bell nurses' outfits are
complaining that the sale of nurses'
outdoor uniforms has fallen heavily.
This slump Is a curious result of the
recent agitation against the white ,
slave traffic. There Is a widespread '
belief that much of the kidnapping I
of young girls has been carried on by :
women who disarm suspicion by don-
nlng nurses' uniform and this fact
has led thousands of nurses to discard
the outqoor uniform altogether, ap
pearing In public only In mufti.
One of the most striking results of
the "Battle of Stepney" a year or two
ago wes on the profits of gunsmiths.
The automatic pistols used by the be
sieged bandits In their desperate fight
with the police and the guards were
extensively described and Illustrated
In the press. Till then the automatic
pistol had barely been heard of "by
the average Englishman.
Since then, however, gunsmiths have
sold as many automatic pistols In a
week as they had previously sold In
a year.
A big successful safe robbery, curi
ous as It may seem, does good not
harm to the safe business. Firms
which have to keep large stocks of
cash or valuables on the premises are
apt to discard their five or 10-year-old
safes for the very newest types.
The safe makers are always work
ing a little ahead of even the most
skilled of safe breakers, and the very
newest of safes are known to be quite
safe for a few years, till the scientific
safe breaker catches up. So safe
makers chuckle after a big safe rob
bery. The owners of the little foreign
restaurants In Soho smile after a sen
sational raid on an anarchist club.

A big 'murder is good for wax-work
shows. Two or three times as many
people -visit the Chamber of Horrors
at Madame Tussaud's when the Nation
Is thrilled by a sensational murder as
when things are dull In the murder
world.
It may seem strange ttiat murders
could possibly Increase tne dividends
of gas companies, but that happened
at the time of the notorious Jack the
Ripper crlmea
It would be no exaggeration to say
that the whole East End of London
went In fear of death. These ahastlv
murders were all committed In dark,
rpots like unlit doorways and the im-
mediate result was that people used
much more gas. The sale of candles'
and paraffin oil, too. went up amas
Ingly all over the east of London.

MEN RULE TUB WORLD.
One Is the man who, tbough now
strong and vital, yet plunges Into
dissipation and excess with the cer
tain knowledge of his unmanly fate.
The other Is the man who, though
knowingly debilitated and enervated,
makes no effort to get away from his
life of dissipation and wrong prac
tices. Aa a matter of fact, there Is
no hope for either of these unfortu
nates. But for him who acknowledges
hla errors, who may come to me and
say, "I have paid the penalty of my
past follies, but I am THROUGH
with my life of dissipation, and I am
going to make a manly effort to re
store myself," to such a man, I care
not what his physical condition may .
be. I can say in all truthfulness,
"You, my friend, are on the right
road to new strength and new man
hood." for he really Is, and there Is
no doubt about It.
