An editorial in the April is
sue of the leading Insurance
Journal of Philadelphia is here
reproduced. , ,
. "Make haste slowly" is a familiar
little injunction which at first sight
looks like a contradiction in terms
. Not quite so, however, as its purport
is generally understood; the meaning
.is perfectly clear; the advice tendered
is most excellent; and wise men in
variably act along the line suggested
Nowhere is its practical wisdom more
patent than in the creation and sub
sequent upbuilding of a life insurance
company. Some organizations of this
category have gone upon a different
tack; they made feverish haste; their
advent was heralded with a great
blare of trumpets; where are they
now? Relegated (most of them) to
the limbo of things dead and forgot
ten. They "made haste," but net
"slowly;" and their brief career re
minds one of the words, "went up like
a rocket, and came down like a stick:'
In striking contrast to this sort .of
thing has been the six years' record of
the Bankers Reserve Life Insurance
Company of Omaha. Nebraska. Its
managers have never swerved from
the path of safety; they have rigidly
adhered to the wise and sound policy
of building up the company's business
with an ever present view to its per
petuity. If any evidence were needed
to prove this assertion, it is abund
antly furnished in the extreme uni
formity of growth which has charac
terized it year after year. To illus
trate: The company's premium income
for its third year was $70,465; fourth
year, $111,312; : fifth year, $179,503;
sixth year (1903), $244,343, , By the
way, the premium Income of the
Northwestern Mutual Life for its
sixth year was $97,929; and that of
the New York Life for its fifth year
was $120,491.
Here are a few items of satisfactory
progress made by the Bankers Re
serve Life in 1903. A gain of $1,677,
000 was made in the outstanding in
surance the total on December 31,
1903, being $G,911,500. Increase in
premium receipts, $64,835; in assets,
$113,768; in amount of securities de
posited with the state of Nebraska,
$50,000 raising the total of this item
to $100,450; excess of Income oyer dis
. bursements, $197,954. We give the
subjoined extracts from the sixth an
nual Statement of the company as of
December 31, 1903: "Death losses re
ported or unpaid, none. All other ob
ligations unpaid, none." The high
class character of its business Is seen
in the average amount of the policies

pany's past successful record; also on
Kb present healthy condition; and,
furthermore, upon Its bright promise
of continued prosperity. That Presi-

ciates the able ond energetic support
of all his ro-workera la attested by

The Russo-Japanese war is Impress
ing the world with the conviction that
it portends wonderful changes. For
five thousand 'years the colored race&,
outnumbering many times the races of
a pure white strain, have lain dor
mant. The millions of brown peoplo
inhabiting India, the illimitable plains
of inter-Russia, China, Japan arid tne
innumerable islands of the sea thou
sands of years -ago, when the white
race was few in numbers, and with the
exception of those in the Euphrates
valley, they lived in caves, went aboiit
dressed in the skins of wild beasts,
while the brown people were laying
the foundation of a civilization out ofJ
which grew the great religions of the
world.1 These brown people sought
to know and understand the unknow
able, they delved Into the mysteries
that are beyond the comprehension cf
the human mind and they left systems
and philosophies which induced the
people to look to another existence
for happiness and advancement and
thus brought any advancement here
to a standstill. For ages on ages that
condition existed, but the white race
sought after the things that were
knowable and advancement in this
world, whatever might happen to it
in the worlds that were to come. Not
all of the white race slid this. Many
of them were influenced by the Orien
tal philosophy, and looked upon this
world as a wilderness of
clear and active brain work, the Ja
panese have shown the highest at
tainments reached by mankind any
where or at any time in the history of
tne world. Along with that has gone
a modesty of statement, that is as
marvelous as anything that they have
done. There has been no boasting and
no prophecies of what they will do in
the future..
After a week of reading all the dis
patches from the seat of war, it now
seems certain i hat the Russian fleet
was enticed out of the harbor of Port
Arthur by the strategy of Admiral
Togo and that the " great first class
Russian battleship, Petropavlovsk,
was blown up by a floating mine
placed by the Japanese the night be
fore and that another battleship, the
Pobieda, was disabled by the same
means, although the Russian authori
ties ' have not yet decided whether
