Indiana Progress Opinion and Insurance Rate Discussion
The Indiana Progress prints letters endorsing John P. Elkin for Governor, citing his Republican loyalty and public service. It also analyzes Pennsylvania fire insurance losses in 1901, arguing rates should be reconsidered as losses were 46 percent of premiums in state while total losses nationwide were 58 percent, suggesting underwriting explanations need revision.

It notes Tennessee’s formation in 1796 from the Louisiana district and Memphis’s early, modest settlement before 1820. Pelts served as currency and barter in frontier life.
