has been much less.

The Capitalist buys Bonds and
Stocks
The conservative investor seeks
first mortgages.
Both understand the value Of in
terest on money and the necessity OF
safe security.
Both of these classes have secured
life insurance policies before they
bought other investments.
The records show that the largest
capitalists are the largest life insur-
ance policy holders.
This is the reason:
Cooperative investment excels the
best individual effort. when the CO.
operation is on the proper basis.
Every life insurance company
strives to produce the best. The
Guaranteed Annuity Policy of The

Leavenworth Echo.
OF all the candidates seeking the
place of Congressman Wesley L.
Jones, Miles Poindexter OF Spokane
seems to be the most likely. Indi-
cations from the press all over the
district point to his nomination by a
large majority. His achievements are
many during the long and honorable
career he has served the people of
eastern Washington in different ca
pacities. He is pre-eminently the
man for congress, and voters of Che.
Ian county will never make a mis-
take in electing him as their repre-

strong support. He has also been
lat Chelan, Entiat and at Leaven-
worth, and says that he has received
many offers of support. Concerning
his record Mr.. Hutchinson gives the
following:
For four years, from 1883 till
1887, was treasurer of Wise County,
Virginia. For four subsequent years,
from 1887 till 1891, was sheriff of
the same county.
He has resided in Chelan county
for three years. Now lives at Sunny
slope, three miles north of Wenat-
chez.
Having had experience in the
Office of sheriff Mr. Hutchinson feels
that he can fill it with credit to him
self and to the county.

Recently The New York World
printed an editorial entitled "Pres.
ident Taft-RooSevelt's rein OF
terror over" In that editorial the
World says: William H. Taft is
the next president of the United
States-providing the democratic
national convention nominates
William J. Bryan. 1t is an Office
for which Mr.. Taft has conspicuous
qualifications. But best of all his
nomination means the end of
Roosevelt and Rooseveltism. 1t
means the end of personal govern.
ment, of autocratic regime, of mil.
itarism, of jingoiSm,of Rough Rid.
erism, of administration by shout
ing and clamor, tumult and de.
nunciation. 1t means the end of the
Roosevelt reign of terror and the
restoration of the presidency to its
historical dignity under the con-
