The Southern Pacific and Bryan

1t is asserted and not cOntradicted
that the Southern Pacific Company
has instructed its employees to vote
against Bryan. IT such is the case, it
will have hard work to control its
men this year. Every wage Garner is
for Bryan and with the Australian
ballot in November every man who
wishes to cast a vote for Bryan can do
50.
Matte Overman now publically
asserts that all the charges against
Pastor Brown were true. The inside
of the story is this. Mrs. Brown has
been for some years an invalid and
Matte Oyerman lived with B own
with the foil knowledge Of Mrs
Brown. All hands perjured them
selves on the witness stand, as church
people are expected to do when the
reputation Of a. pastor is involved.
What Miss Overman now tells is
news to no one, except probably the
blinded and unsophisticated members
OF the clerical tribunal who tried the
case.

the Post-Inteallgencs correspondent,
readily admitted that as far as enforcing
strict quarantine rules was concerned ne
was poweriess. He stated that al ne
could DO was simply co inform the parties
under whose roof a contagious disease
was found OF what me laws were ana
that IL the laws governing contagious dis-
eases we're not rigidly enforced the occu-
pants OF the house were subject TO arrest.
As the health offlcer has only one assist
ant there has been no way OF locating
zranSgressors. with the result that nu-
rnerous parents have openly violated the
municipal laws upon contagious diseases.
The health officer himself, however Tree
ly admits that his office has taken adj
vantage OF optional clauses OF the text OF
the city statutes and has TO a certain ex-
tent violated the laws. For instance, the
municipal laws state that all ouriais'
where a contagious disease was the cause
of death, shall be private. Another sec
ton states that the body shall DO carried
direct from the place OF death 20 the
place OF burial; still another, that all ou-
rails resulting from deaths from conta-
gious diseases shall be made twenty-four
ha.Is after death. In the first place. 1t IS
openly claimed by parties who know ana
who were witnesses that there have been
public funerals where deceased met deatl
through the ravages or diphtheria or
scarlet FEVER. In the seSoI4 piAASts TIC At~-
tor admits that in three cases at least
burials have been made from the public
p&rlors OF undertaking Establishments,
each of which is situated on the ground
floor of a lodging house or hotel. He also
COZ eeSes that In one instance he allowed
extra time for the burial of a child, and
gives seemingly good and sufficient rea-
sons for so doing.
While the health officer may have full
mower under the charter 10 carry the
laws into effect, IS he may so will. and
for such cannot be held responsible for
the spread of these children's diseases,
YET the citizens blame him for one thing
of even more Importance than these. and
that is a lack of quarantine regulations.
