LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview on the sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that the reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the
large majority of applicants do not
even suspect that they have the di-
seass
He stakes that Judging from his
own experience and reports from
druggists who are constantly in di
rect touch with the public, there is
one preparation that has probably
been more successful in relieving
and curing these diseases than any
remedy known. The mild and heal
ing influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its remarkable record Of
cures.
We find that Swamp-Root is strict

advise our readers who feel in neet
of such a remedy to give it a trial

system at the election to be held Aug.
27th-primsry day. Allvoters, whether
enrolled or not, have the right to vote
on this question and while sentiment at
present points to the adoption of the
of the plan 1t was pointed out that a
little effort on the part of all favorable
would ensure good majority. The
committee will consult with L. g. Cud-

I live, or as long as the party stands for
the principles upon which it was or
ganized.
81 cannot let Mr.. Roosevelt's inter
probation of what happened in Chicago
interfere with my loyalty to the Repub-
lican party.
"The third party movement, as far as
1 can understand it, is the result of a
personal fight between two men who
want to be president of the United
States. do not believe any loyal Re.
publican can stand aside and see the
party torn to pieces because of these
differences.
Assuming there il cause for criti.
cism of the Republican convention. or
the Republican committee, or of this
man or that, is that any reason why we
should abandon a great political party
that has done 80 much for our mutual
betterment as has tine Republican party
in this country?
WON'T TURN BACK ON PARTY.
II would rather be a candidate for
governor on the Republican ticket and
be defeated by Democrat than to turn
my back on d party that l believe has
been the instrument in the hands of the
Almighty in making this the greatest
nation On the face of the earth.
IT lot 60

political revolt. What kind of man

What kind of a governor would make,
and how could expect any voters in the

thing which might do or stand for?

PARTY BENEFITS BY MISTAKES.
Whatever mistakes nave been made
by the Republicans are human mis-
takes. Do we, as a rule, condemn q
man or any number of men for shuman
mistake? How are we to rectify mis-
take unless we are allowed to live to
benefit by it?
II believe the Republican party Is
old enough and big enough to benefit
by its mistakes to better and greater
advantage than any new. born organi.
zation, don't care what you call it.
1T Is better, in my opinion, to inject
whatever progressive principles may be
in keeping with the times into a party
in which the country has had 16 years
Of confidence than into an organization
that has sprung up as result Of per-
sonsl differences of the leaders.
