GREATEST vITORY
Has a Majority of More Than
Six Thousand In District.
This Is the Best and Biggest Vote the
Second District Congressman Hs
Ever Received.

Congressman McCleary has just won
the greatest victory Of his political
career, mis- majority being over 6 600.
This shows that his manly and
course makes him
stronger year by year in the conf
derce of the people.
This is an ''off year in politics
and should be compared with the last
"off-year, namely 1898. In that
year, Mr.. McCleary had a majority in
the eighteen counties then composing
the district, of 5,242, carrying every
county but two. This year, with only
eleven counties, he has majority
of over 5000, carrying every
county, some of them by larger mar
gins even than that OF the presidential
year 1900. In this county he had in
1898 fifty-seven peicsnt of the vote
cast. This year, with a popular Blue
Earth county man for an OPPONENT, he
has fifty-five per cent of the vote,
carrying four of the six wards
III MdukaCO, the city 1ts0lIs
and three-fourths cf the precincts
of the county. Under all the
circumstances, this Is wonderful
vote, one in which Mr. McCleary and
his friends can take honest pride.
Mr. McCieary's per ceptsge Of the
vote cast in the entire district is the
largest that he has ever received.
All 10 FL This a Congressman No
Cleary's greatest victory, and he won
IL in a straightoQt fight, without
trimming or pettifogging. It is VIC
tory to be proud of, Doth in its re-
suits and in its methods.

per Thousand kiowatts, vhereupon
the city authorities met this cut and
abolished the minimum rate lance of

that any deficit will be paid fer by a

LIFE,s UNCERTAINTY

That life Is in the BIZ lance is demon
strated by the report of large insur-
ance company and the data presented
causes The Journal of the American
Medical association to comment upon
it at length.
During the year 1901 death policies
were paid on 435 persons whose insur-
ance on their lives had been in force
less than a year. Considering how
carefully medical examiners are Sc
lected as rule and how thoroughly
medical examination are made. for
the so-called big companies at least,
this would seem surprisingly large
number of deaths early in the insured
term. 1t represents actually about
five out of every 1000 policy holders
for whom risks were assumed by the
company during the year. Far from
considering this item of loss as due to
any defect of the insurance system
or any failure of their medical exam
liners to detect pathologic conditions
that were manifestedly present and
should rot have been missed, the
company in question sets it down to
the Inevitable uncertainty of human
life.
The company's officials are justified
in assuming the very sensible position
by data that may be obtained from
an analysis of the death list. The
deaths are distributed throughout the
year as follows: Eighty five in the
first quarter. 1913 in the second quar-
ter, 100 in the third quarter and 1873
in the fourth quarter. The lowest
number of deaths in any one month
was sixteen, in the first month. The
highest number wss fifty-one. in the
seventh month. The fact that the
deaths were more frequent toward the
end of the year would seem to absolve
the medical department of the COM
pany from such of the apparent blame
that attaches 70 it. An interesting
item in this connection is the alleged
fact shat 10. 0U0 applications for life
insurance were refused by the same
company in the same year. The
deaths occurred among persons of al
classes and ages There were students
as well as professors and almost every
possible occupation has its representa-.
tive in the death list from that of the
proverbially healthy farmer to the
dangerous life of the train hand and
locomotive engineer. There are full
dozen physicians in the list, three oi
whom died durirg the first three
months of their insurance. None OF
these had policies for more than
$1,000, except one. and he had So 00(
on his life. SO that it seems improba.
BILE that any inkling of impending
fate had come to them or they wonld
surely have applied for larger
amounts, the medical examination
being the same for applications up to
$50, 900.

BUSINESS MEN AND THE Sab

of the manner the average business

sermon Sunday morning in Baltimore
he spoke as follows:

during tie last thirty years.
"Let us view the average business
man OF America in our day. He is in
8 state of babitual feverish activity.
He rushes through life at full steam.
The one aim of his existence is fo be-
come rich. Money making is not the
means but the end of his life. He in
creases his wealth not so much for the
love of it. as from the fascination at

tune.

The recent decision of the supreme

vigorous action, and in dozens of

Concerted action was taken not to
