REFORM SAVES LIVES.
LEDERLE,S GOOD WORK.
Rapid Decrease of Death Rate Due
TO Fusion.

The difference between having expert sani-
tartan and politician at the head of city de-
psrtment is strikingly manifest when one COM
pares the splendid results attained under fusion by
Commissioner Lederle with the ineflciency and cor
ruption which prevailed under the Tammany Com
missioners Michael c. Murphy and John B. Sexton,
Is shown by the report Of the Citizens Union on
the work of the department for the last eighteen
months.
Dr.. Lederle was graduated from the School Of
Mines OF Columbia University in 1856 He con-
tinued postgraduate studies under Professor
Charles r. Chandler. at one time OF the city :
Health Commissioners. In lSss he became an as
sstsnt chemist for the city. on February IL. 1895.
he was promoted 10 the position OF chemist This
position he filled until he appointed Health
Commissioner by Mayor Low
Upon taking charge OF the Health Department
DR.. Lederle found that for four years it had been
refuge for the faithful OF Tammany Hall rather
than instrument Of government He Immediately
dismissed Isl employees. When the Reconsideration OF
employees was completed. it found that about
10000 had been saved TO the city annually in sal
aries alone.
one OF the most important services rendered by
the department has been in suppression Of small
pox. A general reorganization was effected in the
corps OF vaccinators. and the results Of the new
methods are shown in the following table;

HURTS FUSION IN KINGS.
Z. T.. Irritation to Confer Rejected
by Republicans.

The Determination OF the Republican leaders in
Brooklyn 20 stand by what they believe 10 be
their rights IN directing the fusion movement in
that borough and reserving the greater part OF
the local nominations for their organization has
been pretty plainly indicated in a letter that has
been written by Jacob Bremen. as chairman o.
the Republican Executive Committee. 10 Joseph
McGunness secretary OF the conference commit
tee OF the Citizens Union. His letter was written
3n response 10 formal notification from Ny. Nc
Guinness that their conference committee would
on Thursday night and inviting" the Repub-
lioan organization 10 send representatives. The
letter SAID IA part:

ton that you are invited 10 meet with our commit
tee and such other committees as are qualified
20 participate. at the headQaarter on Tuesday
evening next 20 organize and transact such pre-
nninary business as may seen ADVISABLE. he sug-
seston e here mace that too large delegauon
ness.
This looked to the Republican leaders very much
IL the Citizens Union people wanted 10 take
the bit IN their teeth and lead naming the county
ticket Inasmuch az the Republicans say that they
comprise 90 per cent OF the fusion strength, they
believe that IL IS their right TO shape IA a great
the local ticket. They do not like the idea
OF the Citizens Union going ahead and picking out
men for certain Offices they did IN the case Of
A J. Bouton fer Sheriff. without consulting with
the Republicans. IN reply 10 Mr. McGuinness.
Chairman Bremen wrote in part:
Permit me 10 state thar al the last meeting OF

count of its effect upon human life and
happiness. just now we are confronted
wiln u serious pr biem III the intro
duction within our borders of one OF
the cattle plaques of Europe, Foot and
Mouth disease. If our fair state should
| become infected with this disease 1t
would mean loss of millions 0fdollars
to our people, Why are we resting so
peacefully under these circumstances?
Because Uncle Sans army of veterin-
airy sanitarians under the command OF
that PEERLESS general, DR.. d. e. Salmon
Chief of the Bureau of Animal Idustry,
have promptly met the foe and thrown
their invincible lines around the enemy
and are waging war OF sure aud
speedy determination. For this rea.
son we are not fearing the invasion OF
our state by the dread disease. AS a
result of organized veterinary santa
ton in states and nation all contagious
and infectious diseases of animals are
on the decrease.
The greatest problem in veterinary
sanitation yet before the civilized
world is the eradication of tubercu
losis from our herds. II is we'll for ou,
country that the determination to con
troll tuberculosis has become so marked
before the disease gets the footholo
here it has in European countries.
The discovery of the anti-tuberculosis
serum should prove the greatest aid tc
the control of the disease yet known.
Its nse will protect all additions to an
infected herd by birth or purchase ano
make the final publication of the hero
much easier than any other methoo
suggested. If it proves success the
names of Pearson s. Gillilend its frsl
advocates, will be immortalized in
history.
In conclusion wish to congratulate
the members present on the high posi-
tion this association occupies In the
list of state associations, and especially
on the election of our Secretary at the
Minneapolis meeting, to the position OF
Secretary OF the American Veterinar,
Medical Association which gives this
association additional prestige IN tn

REQUEST of each of you renewed
spirit of loyalty to our association and
all its interests and wish you all health
happiness and success throughout ali
future years.
