A Writer Holds This Awful Organization
Responsible for the Spread
Of Cancer
And Also Says that It Is Guilty of
Spreading tuberculosis and
Other Diseases.

The most amazing stupidity conceiv.
able Of any people with forefeads IL
that they should allow their supply
of food to pass into the hands Of one
speculative interest, says Charles Ed.
ward Russell in powerful article
written by him in the Appeal to Rea.

less community might tolerate mo.
nopoly Of some things. how 1t might
endure to have its transportation, for
instance, or Its electric light, control.
led by one ownership, for men can
live without sleeping cars or arc
lamps; but that It should tolerate q
monopoly Of the primal necessity Of
food Is beyond comprehension and
without precedent. Even naked saw
ages have uniformly been too wise
for that. and the only nation that has
ever submitted to such a monstrous
condition Is our own.
From q thousand illustrations Of the
injuries we all suffer from this idiotic
arrangement let us cite one.
There Is no way Of communicating
disease to the human body surer than
through infected meat tissue. Some
Of the worst and most destructive ba.
cilli that prey upon mankind are com.
mon among the animals he eats for
food. Cows have tuberculosis and
spread vast quantities Of II through
the human population. II IL so com.
mon among cows that the wise and
the forewarned will use none but ster.
ilized milk. What Is hog cholera"
among swine is merely typhoid fever
In men. Trlchinca In hogs poisons
human beings. Both these diseases
are common among swine.
Worse than ali these. and more
deadly, 10 another fact that IL seldom,
commented upon because II u too ap'
paliing to dwell much upon. What ID
called "lumpy Jaw" In cattle y simply
cancer. The germs Of cancer an
communicable. Many cattle have
'lumpy jaw" Any animal with
"lumpy Jaw" 10 unit for human
food.
This opens a field that demands the
immediate attention Of the govern
ment. Cancer IL the most terrible Of
all diseases. After II has reached q
certain stage Of development II 10 ab
solutely incurable. Its progress Il
that stage may be without the pm
tents knowledge or suspicion. III
advance beyond that stage canno
even be checked. II slays its victimi
with the most horrible torture.
In this country the recent increas,
, OF this most terrible OF human nj
fictions has been something to alarm
us all. 1t was once rare; II now
threatens to become common. In tn,

senator, Alfred Mueller is spoken of
as the probable candidate for repre-

FRA|EBNA|S ACTIVE
LET Us Work Out Our Own Sal
vation' Will Be Urged By
the Leaders
CHEAP INSURANCE A BENEFIT
Legislative Committee of Fraternal
Congress Will Use Many Arguments
Before Legislature in Resisting Eff
fort to Fix Minimum Rate-Able to
Pay All Bills.
Special 10 Ttmes-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican
Des Moines. Sept. 14.-.'Let the
Fraternals work out their own saliva
tion,Y I'VE are paying our bills every
month" These are the two arguments
with which the legislative committee
of the fraternal congress will go be-
fore the legislature to resist the rec
concentrations of the legislative COM
mission to fix a minimum rate for fra
ternal insurance companies
These two arguments elaborated
form the basis of the argument against
the legislation for the fraternals Fra
ternal men claim that the fact that
they are each month paying their bills
is argument enough that they are SOL
vent and are doing good service in
furnishing life insurance cheap while
at the same time maintaining a
strong financial standing and working
towards solution of all problems.
They will claim to the Legislature
that the fact that they are each month
paying their bills and have been doing
SO for years is evidence that they are
thoroughly capable of working out any
and every problem that confronts
them.
The Legislative committee will claim
that fraternal insurance has been of an
inestimable benefit to the country in
furnishing cheap insurance and life
protection to families, the head of
which could never afford to pay any
higher rates and could under no cir
cumstances afford to pay the old line
life insurance rates. The committee
will claim that fraternal life insur-
ance has been a gradual growth, that
those at the head of the institutions
have grown with them and have be-
come educated in the insurance bus
mess in that way, that they have met
every problem thus far that has aris-
en- and are therefore able to meet every
problem that will arise.
There will be a lot of discussion
about surplusses and reserves, NOR
talities and American FTaternal Con-
gress tables, but the two arguments to
the members of the legislature not to en-
act any fraternal legislation next win
ter will be the two arguments given
above.
In meeting these arguments the leg
islative insurance commission will at
tempt to show in its report that fra
ternal insurance started in crude
way centuries ago and the problem
has not been solved yet tho the fra
ternals have been left to themselves
so far as legislation is concerned; fur
Their that scores Of fraternals have
gone out of business after few years
existence just because of the lack of
legislation. Since they can run only
a few years OH low rates as soon as
the rates are necessarily raised the
companies can not meet the compete
ton of newly, started companies and
so so out of business to the great in
jury of the old members, who. after
staying in one company till their old
age. are unable. because of their
age, to gain sLdmittance to new
company and SO are denied insurance
just at the time of life when they
need it the most.
