Specimens of ore from claims in
the Mineral creek, Lewis county,

bismute, copper, tellurium and lead.

however, and only two deaths have
SO far occurred.

ON The MANNER OF BEING PROGRESSIVE
BY ROBERT S. DOUBLEDAY
lin The Public-New York and Chicago)

profound regret that this get-together
progressive meeting had shown such
scant affection for his cherished idea
He regretted even more the reasons
ascribed for the disapproval, because
as he explained, the constitutional
clause in his resolution is already in
the constitution and has been for 10
these many years, and the memoranda
that he submitted was copied from
the foundation of the states laws only
few minutes before the meeting.
1t might be said in passing that
among the leading Republicans pres
ent there We're many, many gentle
men of great legal minds and
acumen and of recent progressive not
to say radical conversion who at that
tragic moment thought thoughts
concerning Mr.. Smith which were SO
lacking in kindness and refinement
that any upstart of censor would
have deleted them with promptness
and relish.
Particularly throughout the great
West, where progressive democracy
has been making it's way, the polit-
ical vogue runs almost Historically
to porfervid professions bordering
upon democratic radicalism. 1t is
the most promising and likely meth
cd of securing substantial audience
and opens the only chance remaining
for the future. Where these profess
sions come from unwonted corners,
however, the mildest test quite too
often leaves but grotesque and
amusing splotch.

Insurance rates IN the state OF
Iowa are made By state rating
bureau. and agents OF companies
operating in the state must follo:.

or are liable to prosecution under
the laws. People generally do not
seem TO realize that the local agent
has no choice in the making OF In
surancs rates These are all made BIZ
the state rating agency, which was
created by an act Of the last general
eembly. and which became Q Law
July i, 1915.
The B4nne. agency at Cedar Rapids
was taken over by the state under
the act OF the legislature, and the
ratings OF this agency are the official
ones for Iowa The policies ere all
standard ones, and every company
uses the Iowa standard form now.
Do not blame the insurance agent
j. your rate is increased. He has no
choice in the matter but to follow
the state rating agency. Penalties
are provided under the law for any
agent who cuts or attempts to cut
the rates. He can be prosecuted un-
der the statutes and his license can
De taken from him.
It seems there is considerable mis-
understanding regarding this Law and
its operation, and some people seem
to think that the agent is to blame
for any changes. This Is not the case

in the daily life OF his men away from
the Office Stibordinates in other
cities do not escape him He knows
just how many children most OF his

His memory IS prodigious. He
asks questions continuously and
seems to retain everything ne hears.
When his men go on the pension
roll on account OF illness or old age,
f often hapens that their pensions
are not large enough to pay medical
bills or other extra expenses and sup
port their families in comfort In
such cases j. o. makes up pienti-
full balance from his personal account
and there Is only the instinct OF
the men to tell them whence comes
the surplus Usually when Mr.
