This will acknowledge receipt of your favor in which was enclosed a "Constructive Program" dealing with conditions as they aro at tho prosent. After study ing them as carefully as my limltod Icnowlodgo would permit will beg to say that I most hoartily lndorso thorn all. L. A. Lincoln, South Dakota. I am in strict accord with Mr. Bryan's constructive policios, each and every ono of thom. In regard to tho loague of nations, I feel just as ho does. Why? Because Bryan has always linnn rleht and ho is a man the American people nlay put Hieir trust in. I wish I could shout with the volco of thunder from tho highest point on tho globe tho virtues of this groat champion of human jus tice. In regard to tho presidential candidate, I hopo and pray that I may have a chance to vote again for William J. Bryan. Wilson may be a groat man and I am willing to con cedo willingly that ho is; but ho is only doing now with sentiment back of him what tho groat "Commoner" DARED to proclaim all alone. Long llvo Bryan and poaco and honor to his soul. M. F. Murphy, North Dakota. I am very much pleased with tho pro gram that' you propose and it meets my beauty approval in all respects. At present I can think of nothing to add to it and there is nothing that I would eliminate if it were loft to me to do so.

I wish I was not so extremely busy with my own affairs and I would bo glad to take tho time and see tho progressive democrats and get them to subscribe. Every progressive domocrat in tho United States should read Tho Commoner. I have wished many many times that you were President at tho present time and I think if you had been President wlen tho war started that tho war would have been settled within a year from the timo it started. J. A. Aloxandor, Illlonis. I agree with you, we have great problems at hand, and the time to begin solving thom is now instead of waiting un til the calling of tho national con ventions. I want you to keep your eye on the democratic national conven tion as watchfully as you have ever done, or even more so If possible. Conrad Bluhm, Michigan. Just read No. 15 of "A Constructive Pro gram". I like that national bulletin Idea. Ho Is an unhappy juryman who most vote on partial informa tion. Hence the plight of the nation in its periodic election spasms. If all our citizens read a complete argument on mooted questions there would be less mental violence against one another for all would be moro nearly agreed. No nuestion of public welfare has a right to be ex clusively partisan. Yet our publicity policy encourages such partisanship. Groups becor 3 vociferous In measure to "their ignorance of half the truth. The spirit of fair play, square deal, or tno golden rule can obtain only when tho voting jury have all the facts. Your plan does not bar mis information if eacli party controls its own space, but it does give the other fellow a chance to reach the blind partisan. While there Is a chance for a come-back there is less likelihood of misinformation. I would carry your idea into separate state bulletins also. Such travesty as shamed Michigan, in her late sen atorial race would hardly occur If tho electorate had full information as outlined in your plan, for tho sponsors would see little hope of winning on a "foul". Push the ide.a. W. G-. Purnell. Maryland. I n.m in favor of the first live articles of your "Constructive Procram" Tho great special and business interests are sufllcientl powerful to own and operate the government, as we have just seen them secure the election of a reactinary congress, and they, com mand the united support of every dally newspaper I am familiar with. Tho only remedy is to put them in your "program" along with the rail roads, telegraphs, etc. The govern ment must own and operate them or they will own and operate the gov ernment, and the dally press must, be made free to serve the people. Now they must servo these interests or perish, as they llvo on tho ad vertisements of these great financial interests and are practically' in slavery to them. W. Pv. Bilyeu, Oregon. I wish to congratulate Mr. W. J. Bryan for his valiant and valuable fight for na tional prohibition. It seems that he has been on the right side of every great moral question for tho last twoniy-nve years. I am inclined to the firm belief that he has in tho main been righ.t on all tho great questions all the time. 11 J,i ?' WatkinJ. Missouri. I heart ily Indorse your stand on tho prohi bition and women suffrage questions and in fact about all tho others also Thomas McCarthy, Iowa. -i in dorse every principle set forth in Mr. Bryan's "Constructive Fro gram" as printed, and biltey it should be incorporated in tho .na tional democratic platform of 1020. Allow me to congratulate Mr. Bryan through Tho Commoner, . on the many victories ho has won over his foes and the foes of the people; the last victory, prohibition, being tho greatest of all. A. H.

When 'death comes, if there is no insurance, a forced sale of th'e property often causes a large loss, whereas, the proceeds from a life insurance policy, will furnish ready money, for tho im mediate needs and the executors of the estate can have time to dispose of the property to the best advantage. The cash value of a man's life to his family. ii he earns but $1,000 a year, at age thirty-flve is over $14,000. No man would, go without fire insurance on that amount of property and yet if he carries no life insurance, he is forcing his family to carry a risk for this- amount unpro tected.
