1t has been established beyond ques-
ton that the principal sources of in
lection and spread of tuberculosis are
the victims of the disease. and sources
OF food supply. Only the other day a
government inspector found three cows
in a dairy herd near Salt Lake suffer-
ing from tuberculosis That one herd
alone might be responsible for the in
lection of numerous human beings,
who in turn would become foci of in
lection. The one way, and the. only
way to stop the scourge is to eliminate
these centers from which the disease Is
distributed and perpetuated. Every
dairy herd and mich cow in Utah
ought to be subjected to the tuberculin
test. which is an infallible means of
discovering the disease; and every sus-
pected animal ought to be destroyed
under conditions which would end the
possibility of danger from that source.
The smallest fire in any community
is put out as quickly as possible, not
only for the immediate loss it might
infiict, but because it might spread into
a destructive and widespread conf1agra-
ton. Yet intelligent American commu-
mites permit the sources of tuberculosis
TO remain unextinguished in the face
or the certainty that they will continue
to destroy human lives indefinitely.

were inspired by harmony and not by
strife. The outbursts of enthusiasm
were not of the sort manufactured to
stampede the delegates to or from any

of hope. the discarding of differences
that had rent the party hopelessly
asunder. and TO the deep-rooted vrility
of Democracy.

of a condition that initiated largely

Press Comment on Bryan and His Nomination

I that there are not other men in the
! Democratic party who are of presidential
size any more than it means that Mr..
Bryan himself is possessed of the ordi-
nary political machinery to compel a
nomination. 1t only signifies that he is,
so to speak. the incarnation of those doc
trines and policies which really triumphed
in the crushing defeat of Alton B. Park
er. In a peculiar sense he is the Demo-
cratic platform. In so far as the prin-
ciples enunciated at Denver conform TO
the Bryan views they will be accepted
as guide for Democratic faith Where
they fall short of Bryan or run counter
to him they have neither weight nor
meaning. He. himself. so thoroughly
known and so universally followed by the
rank and file of the Democracy, clearly
defines the issues OF the great ponticai
struggle now to begin. Organism and De-
mocracy are for the present at lest sy-
nonymous terms.
OF his strength as candidate there can
be no doubt The Denver convention Is
a representative body. Its membership
comes from constituents uninfluenced by
the motives that often actuate party
in power. There were no office holders
to dictate to state and district cohveh-
lions. in hopes of patronage TO induce
zeal in would-be delegates The can LOT
Bryan is therefore out of the heart OF
the Democratic party and the vote py
which he Is nominated, TO say nothlng Oh
the cordality with which that vote Is
received, SHOWS that ne mas peiiiiiu nm
more Democratic ballots than any other
man between the oceans. Beyond this,
the man has undeniably grown upon the
country, which has learned to regard MIN
as able and honest, even If II has been
unable to subscribe to many OF his views
There can be no question, either, but there
has been a marked drift toward Bryan

of 1896 and 1900 as induces of the coming |

Mr.. Bryan had earned the nomination.
He had met all rivals and replied to all
Democratic critics He had put himself
on record so as to arm all of his friendy
with cries in his behalf If he hedged
little here and there it was only after
the fashion of politics. In the main he
stood to his guns, and his enemies have
gone down before his steady fire.
Moreover, he played in great luck. Wall
street, which is the poorest of politicians
took the field against him, financing the
opposition in many quarters, and address
ing itself particularly TO the south. where
Mr.. Bryan has always been strongest.
This proved TO be a large help. When
the campaign for the nomination took the
form of Doodle versus Bryan. with the
Doodle coming from sources which had
made the party a laughing stock -four
years ago, the friends of Mr.. Bryan all re-
1oiced, and from the day of that disclosure
the Bryan tide increased in volume.
Judge Parkers defeat meant inevitably
the return of Mr.. Bryan to leadership.
He himself was the first to see that. and
to move accordingly. The party had re-
jected the so-called sane and safe policies.
and the Bryan policies were clearly en-
titled to another try. Such was Mr.. Bry-
ans reasoning, and 1t followed that the
Bryan policies called for their author as
their champion.
Thus has il been demonstrated again
that revolutions do not go backward. The
old Democratic party is thing of the
past. 1t could not be resurrected under
Judge Parker in 1904, nor this year>under
the suggestion of the name of Judge Gray.
The new Democracy means Bryan, and he
is appropriately its leader
Now that both parties have presented
their men for first place it is in oder TO
congratulate the country on the high
character of the presidential candidates.
Both Judge Taft and Mr.. Bryan are in the
best sense of the term good citizens. They
have lived clean lives and no faint of re-
proach is possible in either case. What
ever happens in November, the next pres
ident will be a man of whom the Ameri-
can people may be proud. personally, re-
