l could give a dozen or more reasons
why every individual seeking life in
surance should at least consider what

Company Of Newark, N. j., has to Of
fer, but the statement would necessa-
rily occupy considerable space and be-
sides many Of the reasons, while val
i'd, would be technical and not Of in
terest to the layman, and all Of them
combined would only emphasize the
one point in which every man who
buys life insurance should be interest
ed, and that is that the company is in
class all by itself when its record Of

policy holder who has been insured in

THE PROGRESS OF HUMAN LIFE.

DIR. McGee, of ST. Louis, in paper read before the
American Association for the Advancement Of Science
last week cheerful message and added to the liter
ature of the trace suicide" discussion
DIR. McGee says the suicide cry is false alarm.
He takes sides with the quality raherthan quantity
champions.
Putting his theory-now generally accepted by scient-
itsino the terms of ratio, he says the number of off
spring of any type varies invelse with the life of the
type.
TO illustrate:
The eagle is long-lived Tt lives hundred years. 1t
lays but few eggs The shad on the other hand lives but
few weeks and it lays millions of eggs
SO, when long lived nature sees to it that they
have fewer children.
In America the average length of life has increased
md therefore nature has reduced the number of children
hundred years ago in this country the average length
OF life was % years. is 20 years. Besides this
doctor of science:
The ''yellow streak in human nature-the tendency
Toward disease and viceis gradually dying out We
growing We growing healthier in body soul
md minds.
To the question which naturally occurs Is not the
struggles for existence growing keener all the me Pro
lessor Mc(fee answers:
Yes, but the struggle is not growing severer "any
Faster than the power to struggle"
To learn that in this country life is becoming longer
md better and more worth living is worth while.
But there is another side to the matter It good to
know that if the struggle to live to be harder for our
children than it for us, that they have greater
power for striving. But
This after all, is only restatement of the cruel but
necessary, law of the survival of the ittest.
If the struggle to be keener than what of those
who not born with the stronger power? Will not the
weaker suffer then, more than now?
In other Words in spite of the scientific Improvement
of the race OF men there will day on this
earth when something than science will not be
needed.
There always will be scope for mercy and charity and
helpfuness, now.
Else that which call "charaeter" would not be
possible

In discussing statement by Senator McCarran OF

odious the Wall Street Journal says if that time
it will be:
When the rich is criminal
When he is misery.
When he displays his wealth extravagantIy.
When he his wealth Cypress Others to crush cut
competition and to bride his way into political power.
The Wall Street Journal is mistaken.
The day is not coming. 1t is here.
During the past year lot of men of great wealth AMI
high position in politics and III social circles have been
kicked out of decent society," ostracsed because
found out they got their money croOkedly-by methods
that were morally, if not legally, criminal.
And in this very time of ours the msery rich man is
universally despised The man who gathers money from
his generation and lives and dies without paying Of
his debt dies dsgraced In the eyes of the people of today
he disgraces his family and his generation.
And he who brazeny aaunts his money for purposes
OF ostentaton and pride and self is despised few

pdous.
But above all others is he most hated who uses his
money to take unlawful advantage of his neighbour who

And this augurs we'll for the future.
