BRYAN IN SPEECH
PAYS TRIBUTE TO.
SPEAKER CRISP
Continued from Page l

Continued from rage
the soldiers were coming back from
the war ready to overturn prohibi-
ton which had been thrust upon them
! in their absence, he showed by dates
that the congress which passed the
national prohibition amendment and
the legislatures of the necessary rat
flying states had all been elected
| before the men entered the war,
showing that these men actually had
part in enacting prohibition legis-
| lation.
"To say that these men are now
coming back from France to over
turn the constitution that they helped
amend and which they took an oath
to support is a cruel SANDER upon
the finest soldiers upon the face of
the earth," he said.
Mr.. Bryan spoke easily, clearly,
and with much of his old-time charm,
but he appeared to be aging rapidly,
and lacked much of the fire and vigor
of former days. He is SO years of age
and has been making speeches day
after day for the greater part of
every year for the last quarter CT a
century.
But Notwithstanding a life of great
events and great associations, Mr..
BIyar is man of simple tastes and
simple habits. When he arrived in the
city Friday afternoon by train from
Waycross he was carrying in his
hand several ripe South Georgia to-
matoes. They had been in a paper
bag, but the tomatoes had burst the
and the bag had melted away in their
juice to large extent, but Mr.. Bryan
chung to them, and was still holding
them fondly and hopefully when he
hit the road for Columbus where he
intended to have them iced for his
supper.
A feature of the meeting was the
presence of the local Boy Scout troop
in uniform under Scoutmaster Jas.
Lott.

OregOn's Successful Industry

The following extracts are taken
from Pres. A. l.. Mills report:
t 'In no annual report here
tofore has there ever been recorded
such growth in new business, in out
standing insurance and in assets as
in the year 1918"
Il Il Il Assets with the excep-
tion of Liberty Bonds are invested
exclusively in Oregon securities. 1t
always has been the Company's pol
icy to invest money received from
its policyholders In Oregon, for the
directors believe Oregon money
should be used in the development
of Oregon"
II Il X During the war Oregon
Life always has given loyal financial
support to the government. At this
time the Company has invested
$132,750.00 in various issues OF Ii
berty Bonds. In addition the sales
force of Oregon Life have given
freely of their time to the govern
ment, and have been instrumental in
selling many thousands OF dollars OF
Liberty Bonds, besides taking an ac-
tive interest in other war activities;
and this loyal service in addition
to the great work done for Oregon"
n " while the influenza cpl
demtc has resulted in greater num-
ber of death losses during the past
year than the company has ever be-
fore experienced in similar period,
and while a great many insurance
Grants Pass daily courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1919-1931, 1919-02-20

companies on account OF the epi-
demic have had losses amounting to
over 100 per cent of the expected,
nevertheless, the death loss of Ore
gon Life in 1918 amounted to less
than 7S per cent of the expected"
4 4 Oregon Life's mortality
experienced in the war has been so
favorable that all policies have been
relieved from war liens, and the
company is refunding to benefic-
iaries the amount OF the liens with
held on those policies which due to
the war have become death claims" +"
*% Oregon Life still main
tains the enviable record 1t has
made in former years, by the prompt
settlement Of all death claims. AS
heretofore, all death losses during
the past year, have been paid on
the same day that completed proofs
of death we're filed with the com
pany."
M Without the loyal, con-
scientious and never firing cooper
alton Of our representatives the
great and satisfactory results Of
1918 never could have been attain
ed"
W. II Oregon Life is a COM
pany in which every Oregonian may
take just pride, and in which every
oregonian eligible for insurance
should be a policyholder. Let us
one and all aid in accomplishing this
end" 90
