WEDNESDAY. JUNE 17. NEWS OF SOCIETY THE SEEKER. Poverty askei “Will it cost too much?” Mammon asked “Will it pay?” And Scholarship “Is the measure wise, And are you sure of the way” “Can we find the time To finish before the night?” But when the Seeker had heard them all He only asked "Is it right?” Poverty said “I cannot help. For my pockets are not filled." Mammon said “That land must wait Till my own broad fields are tilled.” Scholarship, “If I lend a hand Too much, I fear, 1 shall miss;” And Statesmanship, “There are other things Of as large import as this.” But the Seeker, poor and of little power, All untried and untaught, Bearing only the knowledge proud That his heart could not be bought. Turned his face to a rugged path Far from the world's delight. And only said, "Come life, come death, Profit or loss, I fight!” —Marguerite Ogden Bigelow, in The Congregationalist.

Try "o Prevent. A “We shall try to prevent photograph ers from selling the pictures of new fashions which they take at the races aim elsewhere to obscure dressmakers, who attempt to imitate them. We want to prevent newspapers from bringing out fashion supplements in which our ex clusive ideas are scattered broadcast to the world. “Against copiers we shall take con certed action. I have a list of sltxy dressmakers in Paris who are in the habit of reproducing our models. Some of them obtain orders from houses that deal also with us. These customers buy a new model from us and then send it to the copier, with an order for a dozen more like it. Those customers we shall exclude from our hooks We shall also probably refuse to deal with the cloth and silk merchants who supply the copy ing dressmakers with their materials. “At present our only resource is to create new models continually. One de signs a new fashion one day. and a fort night later it is necessary to produce another model, for the first has already been degraded by travesty.” MTV 111 COMTE UIGEIH Wider Scone of Modern Life Insurance. Superintendent Emmet Warm ly Commends Metropolitan Company. The report of the New York Plate He partment of Insurance on tho triennial examination of the Metropolitan l,lfc- in flurance Company haw Just been pub lished by the .state. Under the law, re vised by Governor I lurches, this exam ination must be made every three years. About twenty examiners of the Insur ance department devoted nearly a year to the work, and Mr. Knimet, as super intendent of the department, wrote an extended review of the report. In this review Commissioner Emmet not only made an analysis of the company’s con dition as a- business corporation, hut of Its activities along the broader lines of social service among Industrial workers health education and the conservation of human life. He points out that the company, now having more than thir teen million policies outstanding, has, assumed such proportions that It is practically brought into Immediate con tart with approximately one-eighth of the population of the United States. Here are extracts from Superintendent Emmet’s report: "The fact is, the history and achieve ments during the last decade of the Met ropolitan Life Insurance Company, and of one or two other of our large life In surance companies, present such shining examples of efficient ami enlightened business management with, In some cases, a dash of statesmanship thrown in that it seem* to me tc he quite as much the duty of a supervisory offlc al. when an appropriate occasion arises, to comment favorably upon such cases of successful public service by business > or poratlons under private control, as It would he his duty under present con ditions to administer sharp criticism If the tendency hud been In the other di rection. “The fact that the percentage of lapses due to the abandonment of their Insur ance by policy-holders is constantly de creasing. speaks eloquently to the- same effect. This last mentioned development is perhaps the most convincing evidence which could he* offered that the com pany's policy-holders are, broudly speak ing. very well satisfied indeed with what they get in return for the premiums they pay.
