Suicide Does Not
Forfeit Insurance
u. S. SUPREME COURT HOLDS
COMPANIES MUST PAY WHERE
: POLICIES ARE INCONTESTIBLE

The supreme court of the United
States in a decision handed down in
| two cases which, because of their SIM
ilarity were argued as one, decided
that an insurance company can be hello
to it's contract to pay death claims
where the insured came to his death
by his own hands, provided the con-
tract made the policy incontestible If
ter definite period, and the suicide
occurred after the expiration of that
period.
The court did not pass upon the di-
rect question of whether, in general,
"a provision in a policy for payment of
claims despite suicide was contrary
to public policy, pointing out that this
was a question for the various state
legislatures and courts.
The two cases decided were those
of the Northwestern Mutual Life VS..
Isabel III. Johnson and National Life
of Vermont VS.. A. M. Miller, admins
trated. Both of the contested claims
were for insurance on the life of Geo.
P. Johnson, who committed suicide. In
the case of the Northwestern Mutual
policy the contract provided: Cor if
within two years from the date here
of the said insured shall die in conse-
quence of a duel or shall, while sane
or insane, die by his own hands, and
in every such case this policy shall be
void"
The contract with the National Life
provided: "This contract shall be in
contestible after one year from the
date of it's issue, provided the requir-
ed premiums are duly paid"
It was clearly shown that the sui
eide occurred after the periods speci-
fled and the supreme court held that
there was no question of public policy
but only one of contract, about which
there was virtually no dispute.

War Insurance Cost.
New York Times

Some idea of the mass of business
handled by the bureau of War risk in
surance in Washington may be gained
from figures recently published by the
bureau. According to these, the
checks mailed daily in payment of in
surance policies would, if joined end
to end, reach 3S times the height of
Washington monument. Four miles
of checks are, by this computation,
mailed daily. Insurance applications
received on an average day would, it
is stated, form a belt one and one
half miles long, or more than eight
times the height of the Eiffel tower
The matter of names seems to have
given the bureau more trouble than
anything else. If Willie Smith, for
instance, fails to give essential correct
information as to his address hunt
must be made through files containing
8 Alt other willie Smiths" In the
bureaus large families" there are
81 800 Smiths, $4,000 Browns, $4,000
Williamses and $4,000 Joneses. There
are in the files fifty-two John O'Bri-
ems, fourteen of whom made allot-
ments to wives named Mary.
Among the odd signatures prompt
ed by humor and eccentricity, which
have been found upon application
blanks, are the following: Min Gosh,
Velvet Couch, E. Pluribus Brown,
Asad Experience Wilson, VIII Swim
die, Slaughter Bugg, Willie Darling,
Isaac id-Not-Butcher and Lloyd
George Parliament.
The charge that the government is
s.making money" through the insur-
ance business is denied in the PAM
phlet in vigorous language. This
statement is utterly false" it reads
sThe premiums paid by Uncle Sans
| fighting men total about $500, 000, 900,
but much more than 81 900 ,000,0 has
already been allowed of over $70,0 00,-
| 600 which the government has borne"

UNCLE SANS
THRIFT CAMPAIGN
By DIR. Frank Crane.
Reprinted by Permission).
The strength of any government


The strength of any government is
the people behind it.
To improve the quality of the citi-
zens, to make them drawer, more in
dustrious, and better disciplined
should be the governments first aim.
This is more important even than
to raise up vast armies and build ma
vies, for the best defense of nation
is the character of it's people.
One Of the good results of the war,
among many distressful, was that the
liberty bond and war stamp campaigns
raised up horde of some 100000
investors in the United States.
The government is continuing this
good work in time of peace.
On the first of January the govern
ment will place on sale 81 savings
stamp and a $25 savings certificate.
This will be in addition to the pres
ent denominations.
The government is also actively urg-
ing it's people, even the poorest, to
save and to invest in these securities.
The fundamental principle of sound
investment should never be lost sight
of. It is that the less one has to in
vest the more he should look for safe
ty, rather than high interest.
In amounts less than 81 900 at least
there is no security in the world so
good as that of the government.
The reason is simple If the gov
eminent does not pay it's debts no
one else will pay his debts.
The United States of America, the
richest and most prosperous nation on
the globe, offers to borrow of its citi-
zens their money, in any sum, from
5 cents up, and on amounts of SIS and
over to pay per cent interest COM
pounded quarterly.
Here is the greatest possible induce
ment to have security as absolutely
safe as it is possible in this world,
good interest, and your money back
practically when you want it.
Every school teacher in the country
ought to be an earnest agent of the
government, urging the children to
save. The government has provided
booklets for this purpose and will CO.
operate with the teachers.
Every business concern should bring
this matter to the attention of the
workers.
Nothing makes for better work,
more efficient production, a better
spirit, and less envy, dissatisfaction
and unrest, so much as the workers
knowledge that he has little sum
saved up which is growing bigger ev-
| cry week.
Thrift is the bedrock of national
prosperity.
Thrift it is that insures the per-
manence of our institutions and res
pect for law and mans right to what
he has earned.
Bolshevism and anarchy and red
revolution cannot grow in a soil of
| Thrift.
The habit of thrift is better for a
| child, in terms of contentment and Sc
curly, than any gifts or graces.
| And the government needs money;
what better creditor is there from
| whom to borrow it than its own peo-
pie.
We need patriotism now as much as
we did in war, and what patriotism
Icould be more intelligent and helpful
than for each of US, as it lies in his
power, to assist the government in
making its thrift campaign a thunp-
ing success?

fy it with the things which they can

fly it with the things which they can
make.
The competition in cake-making
which will eliminate at the state
fair in September, will be between
teams rather than between individuals
as was the case last year.
With the addition of making
and care of ones own room, the
breadmaking and garment-making
project ought to be more popular in
1921 than ever before Twenty thou
sand boys and girls have been en-
rolled in Minnesota bread-making
clubs since the first organization sew
en- years ago. In 1918 Minnesota held
fifth place among the states for its
homemade bread. In 1918 the state
had moved up to first place. The
United States department of agricul-
ture and other organizations that
ought to know, attribute Minnesota's
prestige in bread-making largely to
the general interest created by boys
and girls clubs of the state.

Townleyism as a Disease

Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Kansas
have met the threatened invasion by
Townley in the same spirit as that in
which a healthy community would
greet pestilence. Thrown back from
their assault on Minnesota, the sedi-
ton germ breeders, who had been well
on their way to cure in the in
creasingly anti-socialism atmosphere
of North Dakota where the Townley
first ravaged, sought more promising
fields of havoc by migrating South
But their coming was not without
warning. A strict quarantine against
the Townley plague was established in
all the states, both sides of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers, from
South Dakota to Texas. Townley and
his organizers could not break into
Nebraska or Oklahoma, but they
sneaked by the quarantine barriers in
Kansas and established their head
quarters at Salina, where they have
been met by Commander o. A. Hitter
man of the American Legion and by
the American Defense League Of Kan
sas with the same kind of enthusiasm
as that with which men of healthy
minds and bodies greet those affected
with smallpox
As in all cases where struggle is
on against seditious teachings, so in
the defense now on in Kansas against
Townley- there are the quasi
visers, who pretend to assume that
pacifists and the "let- 'em-alone" adj
publicity of Townley works out in his
favor as advertising helpful to his at
tempted perversion of the farmers
vote.
1t was in following such suggestions
of contemptuous disregard and silence
than the sound government citizens
and press of Minnesota made at first
their grievous mistake in warding off
the recent Townley onslaught on this
state. sToWnley's phrase-makers took
advantage Of the inaction of their OPP
ponents and the disease of socialism
spread to an alarming degree, just be-
cause the teachings of loyalty were
too much withheld.
It was not until the intensive cam
paign of the past year when the real
nature and purposes of Townleyism
were made known throughout this
state, that the safeguards of sound
government were so strengthened that
democracy was made safe for Mime
sofa.
An infectious or contagious disease
can only be conquered by active coun-
teracting restoratives; and in such cas-
es the truth of the old saying is again
verified. that an ounce Of prevention
IS worth more than a pound of cure.
The blood of the patient must be kept
pure in order that it may supply to the
system sufficient of those health-giv-
ing elements necessary for a success
full fight against disease.
The same rule applies to the cure
and prevention of diseased views of
government. The best preventive is
constant publicity of healthful views.
The only cure is educational activity
by which the poisonous effect Of per-
verted doctrines may be overcome by
establishing healthful and some public
opinion.
