BRYAN EXPLAINS.
Has No Intention Of Trying to Dictate
to His Party.

Louisville, Sept 13.-On the occa-
sion of his entry into the south where
his recent declaration as to govern
aroused the most opposition, W. J.
Bryan made a more explicit statement
as TO his position in the matter. In
dead silence he read lengthy state
ment celebrating his position, but de-
clared that 1.-The making Of platforms
rests with the voters of the whole par
N, and I never have and never will at
tempt to force my opinions or those of
any few men on the people"
While thus Indicating that the doc
trine of government ownership is in
the hands of the voters, Mr.. Bryan's
speech indicated plainly that nothing
has yet occurred to shake his belief in
the ultimate efficacy and necessity of
it, He declared that he would gladly
make any sacrifice in exchange for the
government ownership would answer
the needs of the people, but he ex-
pressed grave doubts as to whether
regulation would ever suffice He also
took pains to present arguments to
convince his hearers that government
ownership of trunk lines and state
ownership of state lines Not only pre-
serve the rights of the states, but will
permit the people of each to adopt
government ownership when they are
ready for it
A tremendous yell arose when at the
finish of the statement Mr.. Bryan with
all the emphasis he could muster. re-
called to his hearers that conviction:
Whenever I saw a danger threatening
the people I have spoken out without
asking anybody's permission or query
ing what the effect might be on me-"

| Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, July 3o.-About 100 men
and women, now employed in the pack
ing houses of Sioux City, will be
| thrown out of work If the rules made
| by the department of agriculture pro-
hibitng persons affected with tubercu-
losis working in any department, are
enforced.
The number would be greatly in
creased If the rules required those
working In packing houses 10 be close
| ly examined by physicians, in which
| event more than 10 per cent would be
| discharged.
| But it is thought the rules of the de-
partment will be enforced simply by
the government inspectors watching
for men and women who show outward
symptoms of tuberculosis. In this in
stance only small per cent would be
thrown out of employment, probably 3
per cent, or even less.
Difficult to Diagnose.
But physicians say that tubercular
patients may be suffering from the dis
ease to an extent which would cause
their death within year and not show

most necessary to operate OH every
man and woman in the packing houses
if those infected with tuberculosis
We're to be sorted out from. those who
are not. a speck on a gland as big as
pinhead is sometimes the only
symptom of the disease, and some die
before it is discovered that they have
been infected.
The government inspectors at the
packing houses know that this must be
true of the worlhmen. as 1t Is true Of
the stock they examine every day.
Carloads of cattle which are infected
with the disease could not be detected
by external appearances. and yet when
the sharp knife of the inspector lays
open a gland the disease Is found.
Physicians claim one out of every
seven deaths is now caused by tuber-
culosis. But the percentage in the
packing houses is probably lower than
in other occupations and trades. The
work there is usually heavy. A patient
sufferinsj from tuberculosis would be
too weak to work in the packing house
after the disease had made such in
ROADS on the DOuy ana lace OF the pa
tient as to make its existence evident.
The government inspectors wait with
some anxiety the receipt of the rules
from the department which will define
how they are to exclude men and wo-
men infected with tuberculosis.
Other rulings have particular inter-
est to the Sioux City packing house
managers, worlnnen, stockanen and
commission men. Among them is that

Five millions For a Fence.

rive billions FOR n renee.
The government of New South Wales
has spent over 100000 fer all kinds
of means to prevent the growth of the
rabbit plague, and it has now been de-
cided to fence in the whole country
with an immense wire net, says the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch. The expense for
this wire net Is estimated to exceed
$5,O00,OOO, and it is thought that the
wire required for this purpose can be
imported from abroad at the cost of
about $50 per mile, delivered at Sgd
ney. The rabbit plague Isl increasing
from year to year, which is best shown
by the fact that such all enormous
amount as 100000, or nearly 10 per
cent Of the annual revenue of the coun-
try, is to be spent for this purpose.
