WHAT TYPHOID
FEVER COSTS
Providence Journal

Providence journal
The Michigan physician who puts
the annual money loss TO the United
state from typhoid fever at $4,000
900 is far from setting forth the full
truth He reaches his estimate by as
suming $1,000 as the average value OF
the lives sacrificed and he omlts all
account of the money spent in the
care of non-fatal cases. The real val
ne of the lives lost-so far as such
value can be expressed in money
might more properly be rated at So
900, and at least 500 on the average
must be spent on victims who recover.
On this calculation, assuming that
the Michigan physician is correct in
his number Of cases, the annual loss
TO the country from typhoid is nearly
$500, 100000 In any case it is
larger sum than the country can al
ford o-lose; and it is not necessary
that it should lose it, for high author
tiles tell us that practically all ty-
phoid cases are avoidable.

can lay claim to having the most com
plete trained animal exhibition inAmeri-
ca. nearly all animals are clever dis
semblers. Lion tanners and trainers
of.other feline animals have to be con-
stantly on their guard against trickery.
Because lion purrs and wags his tail
and permits the trainer to caress him is
no proof of docility or friendliness of
the beast. The animal recognizes the
superiority of the man, and the fact
that punishment may follow an exhibit
ton of bad temper, and no human
maehiavelli could better dissemble his
real feelings or veil his treacherous de-
signs. Every trainer appreciates this
and knows that the slightest careless
ness or neglect may result in death or
serious injury. Schley and Dewey, two
of the largest African lions in captivity
and members of Col. Mundys big ZOO
last winter in Houston, Texas, gave
proof that there is, however, rare in
stances of true friendship. just before

The Paramount Issue.

Recently, Mr. Bryan said, 1.-The para
mount issue in the coming compaign
will be government by the people as,
against government by corporations.
Commenting upon this the Milwaukee
Sentinel says:
But as it proverbially takes two to
make quarrel so also it takes a con-
fiict of opinion to make an issue. But
on Mr. Bryan's resounding and hollow
proposition there is no conflict of party
opinion whatever. Both parties hold
and proclaim as a matter of course
that the people should rule, and neither
party is going to commit political sui
eide for the benefit of the other by de-
claring that the corporations should
rule.
An old war horse of democracy once
said Principles, not men," He was
wrong. Principles are essential, but
without men elected to Office who
heartily endorse them the principles
will not be carried out. The candidate
is at least as important as the platform.
In modern experience the man has
been the most important of the two.
What the Sentinel says is true, bet
what Mr. Bryan says is also true 'The
paramount issue will be government
by the people as against government
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1904-06-21

by the corporations. The Sentinel in
another part of the same article admits
this by saying
Campaign issues are natural growths
bred of current party policies and party
records, and can not be made to order
by either party at its convenience.
This is also true, and it proves that
the Sentiners criticism of Mr.. Biyan's
paramount issue amounts to nothing
That criticism assumes that there can
not be political issue unless che demo-
cratic and republican platforms take
opposite sides. This is the method in
which issues are made up for trial in
courts of justice But the people have
learned, or are learning, that political
issues are not made in written plat
forms, but are ''the natural growth of
current party policies and party re-
cords,p as the Sentinel says later on.
Platforms have meant very little in the
republican party for many years past
and the question to be decided next
fall will be whether its party policy
and its party record" in the past
warrant the voters in contiding to its
care for another four years the battle
between the people and the corpora
ton.
In another place the Sentinel makes
better though still a weak argument to
support its criticism of Mr. Bryan. This

him to the floor. For an instant it
seemed as though nothing could save
the man. At his first cutlery dozen
employees grasped any weapon avail
able and rushed over to the big steel
arena. but their services were not need
ed. Schley and Dewey both sprang
upon their angry mate, fastened their
teeth in his neck and literally dragged
him from Ricardo's body, giving him
chance to regain his feet, and moment
later with the assistance of two other
keepers he made Mckinley cry for
quarter. The public can get no COM
prehensive idea of this marvellous exhi-
bition from reading descriptions in the
papers. One must go and see for them
selves to appreciate it. 1t is really a
wonderful show and is an education in
itself Many other attractions, such as
the Royal Hippodrome, Creation, Lolita,
Laughing Gallery, Cave of the Winds,
Loretta, The Centaur, Vienna glass
workers, etc., are. well worth half an
hours visit.

Without doubt the greatest feature
which will attract the attention of the

in the history of these exhibitions has
as much money and attention to detail

been vested in this one marvellous array
of animal actors. brought from every
part of the world where the most

specimens of these beasts predominant,
their training to the point of almost

plished only after the death of several
trainers, and the ever-winning effort of
keeping at it. Colonel p j. Mundy,
who is himself one of the best trainers
known, has made careful study of the

ONLY a few months ago we read of
the terrible disaster in Chicago, of the
burning of the Iroquois theatre. 1t is
hard to conceive of anything so horrible
as that was. But still in many respects
the burning in East river, New York,
of the excursion steamer, General Slo-
cum, resulting in the death of about
200. mostly women and children, was
fully as appalling. While most of the
victims were able to jump from the
boat into the river, many We're preclpl-
tated into the deadly flames. The
boat was crowded with excursionists.
Ii was so closely packed that when
they became panic stricken at the
cry of fire hardly anything could be
done for their relief A pathetic fea-
ture of the holocaust was the fact that
many of the children who lost their
lives were found holding tight in their
little hands the toys with which they
were playing when the fire started.
The life preServerS which were round
on the boat were worthless, and the
hose with which the six crews were
fighting the fire, burst just after getting
it into action. All of this shows crimi-
nal negligence on the part of those who
had charge of the excursion boat. 1t is
hoped that the guilty ones will have to
suffer for this awful horror.

argument assumes that the Cleveland
element is going to control the demo
cratic party this year and is according
to repeated accusation made by Mr..
Bryan, us great friend of the corpora
tons and trusts as Bryan has even ac-
cused the republican of being This is
what logicians call the 'argatmentum ad

another argument. 1t alleges that the
democrats are insincere, that they favor
the trusts too, and have no more right
to call tie republicans to account for
what they themselves will do if they
have an opportunity.
Well. the st. Louis convention will
give an answer to that. And we do
not claim to know what the answer will
be. But we think we know what de-
mocracy is, and that it is not what is
known as "Clevelandism" 1t must be
admitted, however, that the democrat
ic party is on trial at the present time,
as it never was before The st. Louis

its platform as by its choice of candi-

THE fact that Bryan is to head the
Nebraska delegation to the national
Democratic convention is a guarantee
that it will be convention of the peo-
pie rather than a conclave of corpora
lions. There is not a loyal Democrat
in the land who does not feel that the
presence of Bryan at the national con-
vention will contribute to and promote
the honor and welfare of the party

THE Democrats of Wisconsin must do
the right thing by the people. The
ticket must contain the kind of men
the people want to vote for. If it does
it has good fighting chance. The in
dications are that the people of Wiscon-
sin are ready for a change. They are
tired and sick of the fractional bicker-
ings of the republicans which has
brought disgrace on the state as well as
rending the party. They are now ex-
claiming, "A plague on both your houses
ones putrid and the others rotten"
They want to see once more a good
clean business administration. Let the
democrats give them what they are
looking for. And in attempting to do
it let the advice of the Neenah con-
temporary be taken.-Oshkosh Times.
