Gov. Broward and his Board of
State Institutions have sent to the
legislature an exhaustive denial of
all the charges made against the in
sane asylum management by the
legislative committee appointed to
visit and investigate that institu-
| ton. By this defense it seems the
governor proposes TO stand Loyalty
by the bridge over which he passed
to reach the executive chair-the
Jennings administration The charg-
es made by the legislative commit
tee were a reflection on the admins
tratiOn of Gov. Broward only in that
it was left for the legislature, instead
of the executive, to discover or re-
port the rOttenness. But these
charges do constitute nasty retlec-
ton on the Jennings administration.
The charges were 'hot stuff" They
may not all be susceptible of proof,
But there was enough thatwas spec!-
fic in them to make the righteous
indignation" of the governor and his
board of control appear in any but II
favorable light. What the people

Florida legislature for 1905 expired

The integrity of the administration
of Gov. Jennings will not be preserv-

investigated the insane asylum and
reiteration of the allegation that Il
political motive was the basis of such
awful disclosures. The members of

Physician Estimates Rava.ges of Con-
sumption.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, Nov. %.
Twenty million dollars is the esti-
mated economic loss annually to the
state of Iowa on account of consump-
ton. according to DR.. E. Luther Stew
ems of Des Moines.
He made his estimate from census
figures. The census of 1880 showed
1880 deaths from tuberculosis; that of
1900 showed 1S41. In using 1000 as
the inside number VINO die every year
of the disease in Iowa, DR. Stevens be-
lieves his estimates are conservative.
For each person who dies, four are in
fected, one fatally, thus creating an
endless chain, 5000 today being suf-
ferers from this disease in this state.
That is the conclusion also of the
hoard of control. In 1900, smallpox,
scarlet fever, appendicitis, Group, peri
tonitis, diphtheria and typhoid fever
killed 1411. Tuberculosis alone killed
left the state for treatment. DR.. Stev-
ems believes that no less than $500 die
every year. Therefore 1000 is conser-
vative estimate. Yet he says, 1t is a
preventable disease.
The adjudicated value of human
life is $4,000. If 1000 die, the economic
loss to the state is $10,G00,0G0. This
does not include two years loss IN
earning capacity. Take it another way.
The average age at which consump-
tiyes die is 374 years. According to
the mortality tables, then the expect
ancy is 80 years. Of these, certainly
twenty-five would be full of earning
capacity. Counting 800 days at earn
ing capacity of 81 day there is loss
