F RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has not suffered any In the pub lic's estimation by his an- pointnicnt of. Ben Daniels as United States marshal for Arizona. The outcry against it Is largely Phari saical. H Is charged that Ben once shot u man. This is true. It was i a fair shot In self-deleiise. and the abil ity to shoot does not disqualify a man from being a Federal marshal In Ari zona. It is charged that Hen once ran a gambling joint and yet shuttles the pasteboards upon occasions. That, too, seems to be proved upon the face of the returns. It is naughty of Hen but characteristic of the locality. Let the senator who has never sat in a lit tle same himself cast the first stone. The worst charge against Ben is that he lied to the president. This Is what is being investigated. If it proves true, then Ben will have to go, in spite of the fact that in the late war lie was one of lhc bravest and best members of Roosevelt's regiment and owes his appointment to that fact. Shooting and gaming aie peccadillos in the western country, especially among the type of men who amount to much in the hurly burly. But the man who would deliberately Ho to ills superior officer, when that officer, as president ot the United States, was trying in the face of conventionality and small scruples to nut a gallant comrade on his feet is not fit for any ofllce and should be thrown down with n dull thud. This is not the first time that con gress has balked on a question of "plain duty." Rut duty always wins on the final show down. The Fire Insurance Problem. THERE IS no excuse for the eoulvocatlou which lias char acterized the course of the board of tiro underwriters for this district in refeici.ee to the overcharge on premiums. If any mem ber of that board should, in his indi vidual capacity. Indulge in the false representation which the board as a whole has practiced upon the city and citizens of Scrantnn ho would be lucky to -l:eop out of jail. Yet a 'faiily announced increase in fire premiums, based on the facts and figures of the situation, could be strongly defended. It is a notorious fact that fire Insurance has ceased to bo a profitable business In the United States. For some reason or reasons, and nobody seems to bp able to explain just why, the losses by fire are increas ing In faster proportion than popula tion and than valuation. In tho past quarter of a century tho aggregate lire losses have been nearly equal to the national war debt at Its highest point. They amount to moro than JL'.SOO.OOO, 000. The yearly average disbursement of the fire underwriting companies Is more than a third of tho expense of the Federal government pi lor to the lato war, As the former Insurance commis sioner of Pennsylvania, Colonel James II. Lambert, points out In an article In tho Philadelphia Press, fho insurance In this state is especially unprolltuulc. For the years 1S9S, 1S90 and 190U tho gross premiums received In Pennsyl vania by the lire insurance companies doing business hi the stuto wero $31, 371,72a. Of this amount about $13,181,. -.'SlT -would bo required for expenses of administration, including taxes ami all similar payments demanded by state laws. There would thus bo left $21,190, 16S fori the payment of losses, But, as Colonel Lambert shows, during the three years In question tho losses paid in Ponnnsylvanla by these companies amounted to $23,026,2S2, showing a net loss to them of $2,333,815. During the same period the premiums collected In Philadelphia were $11,120,925 and tho losses paid wero $12.41S,07C. In thirty yeWs more than ninety lire insurance companies organized in this stuto have retired from business, somethlne'haid ly to bo accounted for by any theory PMsupposlng . that Are Insurance in Pennsylvania is a profitable under taking, These figures abundantly explain why, among insurance men, there Is an ardent deslra to have routes in creased. This desire is natural und the public, when thoroughly informed us torthe facts, will not seriously object. It wants fire insurance. It has to have it. It therefore will pay a fair price for t. But tho manly way' Is to come right out and say that rates inust.be Increased or risks surrendered. The 9- Ittiu ot Siding on DISPLAY.

President Cassutt ot the Pennsyl vania Halhoad company spoils 0110 fruitful topic of newspaper sl.eculatlon by denying that tlutt company's 11c quslllon'of the Long Island road had In view tlin establishing of a steamship Hue to run from MonUuik Point to Mllford Haven. Air. Cassatt first denies that such a proposition was ever considered and then shows that the alleged, saving ot lime by such u toute would bo only two hours us compared with sailing from the Battery, certainly not enough to warrant the establishing of 11 new steamship line. It Is possible that a time may conic when two hours will count In such ti Journey, but that will hardly be befoie the age of Hying machines. m Vaccination Vindicated. FOR A NUAIBER of years Massachusetts bus had a compulsory vaccination law. Recently the nnll-vaeolnu-llonlsts, diligent in vocal effort It not formidable In numbers, secured tho in troduction ot a repeal bill and public hearings havo been In progress for some days, the Boston papers giving columns ot tho testimony. From these reports It Is evident that tho "antls" are up against 11. The bur den of expert testimony is all one way. For example, Professor Counsclman ot Harvard, who has studied a number of smallpox epidemics, said he had never known one death from that dls ease In a case of properly prepared vac cination. Representatives of each of the schools of medicine told ot their successful experience with and faith In vaccination. Dr. Assel Ames of Porto Rico told how before the American occupation of that Island the annual death rate from smallpox had been 651 and how since vaccination had been ap plied to every inhabitant the disease had disappeared absolutely, not a case being now known. And finally President Eliot of Harvard went on record as follows: "I object with great earnest ness to the proposed repeal of the com pulsory vaccination law of jrassachu setts. It would bo hard to imagine a. more barbarous and merciless pro posal." He went on to say that it had been abundantly proved that no body need have smallpox who would take the trouble to be vaccinated. Testimony of this character is irres istible. It leaves no excuse for the ex istence in any threatened community of an unwillingness to undergo vac cination in the interest of the public health. The citizen who will not show this much consideration for others, If not for himself, should be taken by main force and vaccinated or else put in quarantine. The testimony of the expert medical witness appears to havo been outdone by the evidence of those who gather tho blackberry crop In September. An Unnecessary Scare. ANEW mare's nest lias been dis covered at Washington. Ar , tide V of the constitution says that congress must call a constitutional convention when asked by two-thirds of the states, the amend ments adopted to require the ratifica tion ot three-fourths of the states. Con gress can impose no limit on this con vention. It can lip into shreds tho en tire fabric of our fundamental law if so minded and there is nothing but the common sense of the people to prevent. Six states Oregon, Michigan, Mon tana, Idaho, Nevada and Colorado have this session filed formal resolutios asking for a constitutional convention to provide for the election of United States senatois by direct vote of the people. These resolutions are identical in their wording, thus showing a com mon origin, and other resolutions simi lar In purport are pending in a num ber of state leglslaturei. From time to time within the past two decades thirty states have passed various declara tions on the subject of the popular elec tion of senators: and it is now feared by some of the more conservative pub lic men at the national capital that the present concerted movement for a con stitutional convention ostensibly for the purpose of effecting a change In the method of electing senators really masks a covert scheme to work radical changes In the national charter. This scare is genuine and deep seal ed, but It seems to us that it under estimates the basic good judgment ot the American people. They aie not dis satisfied with their constitution or form of government. It lias stood the test of time and was never held higher in the world's esteem than now To Im agine that any slick scheme of dema gogues could effect an overturning ot any of the fundamental principles of ny of the fundamental principles ( us system Is to Imagine vain tilings. th The Ohio supreme court has decreed that the suicldu clause In a life Insur ance policy does lipt count. A person may commit suicide as soon as he sees fit after securing a policy and his rela tives may collect, Agents in Ohio here after will ho obliged to exercise great discretion and avoid loading up on over-valued risks, Of course there is no truth In the report that the president talked threat eningly to the members or the house ways and means committee. It Is 110 part of his duty to give orders to con gress. But It Is probable that ho guve thoin some good advice. That Is with in his piovlnco as the head of the party, ' . I.--.

From the difference ot opinions ex pressed regarding our Malay subjects in the Philippines It is evident that there are gevornt distinct br.ands of patriots residing on the Islands.

Till: United .Stales leads tin- vvoild In life In. mnnnec, not only in the amount o( the pollclM canleil by Individuals, but in the number of pcisom th.it arc Its patron. Some countilei have conipuWoiy ("jsteim ol life Iimiianee, but in the United States, where it is fice for nil who h.ivc the premium"! to pay for it, ihe item h ndvnncid mid progirnra with billionaire ttridc-). A few 3 ears ago to write If.lO.OOO.OW) of life Insurance was thought to bo a Iieieutean feal, mid Jtt '" 1''0- ollc vt "le blR coinptnict lias r.ct a mail: of ,i?3iW,000,000 paid for und dcllvcicd insurance. Life itmuaiKc is not for the tkli alone, but Is within leach of cici.ibody. Millions upon millions in small policies are writltcn every year by Ihe indutiinl companies, and the premiums aie made payable widely or monthly, butting the wage day of the assuied, ltkh men value life insurance as an available aisot in event of sudden doalli,' when the with draual of funds fiom business ventures might mean financial ruin, it is now used to protect one partner from the Hidden death of another, which might place financial interests In jcopaidy, but straight life Insurance for Ihe protection of the family of the decedent is the most popular form. The late 1'iatik If. l'cavoy, of Minneapolis, was iiijined for upwaul of i?l,300,000, and, al though he died only thiee wcck3 ago, piactically all of that v.iit bum of money has alredy been paid ocr to the bcnellciailc under the pollutes. One million dollars of this insurance was written by one company and a portion ot the liability reinsnied with other companies. It is estimated that the insurable limit on a single life is $1,600,000. This is the amount held by John WauamaUor, of Philadelphia, who is Ihe most heavily insiucd man in the United States. To write this amount of life imuianee taxes the capacity of Ihe two score companies of this country, and is said to draw heavily upon the capacity of foreign corporations, which aie utllicd in such cases for reinsurance of a pottiou of the liability. IF. IF. Kolilsaat, of Chicago, holds the second place in life insuiance, his aggiegntc holding amounting to $1,030,000. Jtillui 8. Cur, of Puiham, N. O., Geoige V.

Woodford, formerly our minister to Spain, to the criticism In tho letter., of fotnier Senator Chandler printed In jesteidaj'a Trlbuno! "I have no Idea that the public will be Inter elcd In this mailer of ancient lilstoiy. If so, the simple- answer Ui It Is true. I never demanded Independence. It was absolutely Impossible to do so. It would have resulted in my being or deicd away within twenty-four bouts, nnd luive precipitated tho war Fooner than it came. I never had any Instruction to demand independ ence. The only thing looking lo It was a tug gestion of the president for my own guidance. I answcied that tho independence of Cuba was under the Spanish constitution impossible without prior suictlon of the cortes, which was not then in session nnd would not meet for a month, lheieaftcr my instiuctlons looked to an armis tice. "As to the purchase, the thing nevrr was in the remotest way suggested to me by the admin istration. On my own lioole 1 sounded one or two persons at Madrid, and found that as impractic able as tho suggestion of independence. And bo I never suggested it to the Spanish government. Meantime I did suggest, having clearly in my mind the question of Independence or of cession by sale, an armistice during the rainy season, be lieving that if I could induce Spain to that step, then Influences nt woik duilng the following six months would make the next step possible, to wit: Hither independence or cession to the United Stales by sale. It is much easier thiee years afterward, and coolllooking over the records in a comfortable study, to say what might have been done or what ought to havo been done. It is mighty easy to forget the strain under which the minister of the United Slates was devoting himself he.ttt and soul to what was, as ever body knows, tho very first wish of tho president, and that vras the avoidancQ of war and the picservation of peace." ffice Desks and Office Fiirniiur New and Complete Assortment Being the LARGEST FURNITURE DEALEES IN SCRANTON We carry the greatest assortment of up-to-date Office Furniture.
