Attitude of CorporntIon..

OMAHA, Oct. Ito the Editor of The
Bee: In your issue of yesterday you
reproduce an editorial paragraph from a
country paper, which in substance
pointed out the part corporations are
playing in the pending national CAM
paign, alleging that they are lending aid
and comfort to the democratic party as
a means of wreaking vengeance upon the
republican leaders, national and state, for
daring TO pass laws restricting the
operations of railroads and other corpora
tons.
To my mind this is the salient feature
of the present presidential campaign. But
for the desire of the corporations 10
punish republican leaders, national and
state, there would be no more danger
of the election of Bryan and S~hallenberger
than there was in former campaigns.
Suppose the corporations win in this
contest. What will 1t mean? II will be
notice TO statesmen that any president
who may dare to use the influence of
his great office to checkmate the plans
OF corporations will be sure to suffer de-
feat at the hands of the people, 1t Will
be notice TO Mr.. Bryan, If elected, that he
must not pursue the anti-corporation pol

Travelling Men and bryan.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Oct. Ito the
Editor of The Bee: Among the continued
reports from the democratic camps that
the majority of the commercial travelling
statesmen are supporting the Peerless
Leader, is a report of which 20 per cent
Of the old veteran commercial statesmen
are objecting tn.
A few of the old veterans are the same
that drifted through those strenuous times
OF 1893 to 1897, when the merchant did not
come to the train to give his order, and
after you had spent a half day to sell a
few items, 1t was a question IL you would
get your money for the goods as easy as YOU
had sold them. A few of the young bloods
might be influenced by theories and false
promises, that are impossible to FIJI, but
the man that is working for his own inter-
est and the best interests of his house
can readily see that such unsound methods
will not assist either him or his house.
They remember Mr.. Bryan's error of
Judgment In 1896, when he stated that the
only relief the people had was a dishonest
dollar, and even goes so far now
as to say that a change in the
monetary system at that time was
a myth, or, In other words, that
II he had been elected, and II he would
have passed the 16 to l bill, it would have
ruined the country, Why did he not talk
free trade in 1895?
No, Mr.. Bryan is too smart a man for
this. He knew that If he had mentioned

laboratory of which is unable to accom-
modate the student Of that division.
II the enrolment of the Agricultural col
lege increases. as it has I'm the past two
or three years. and undoubtedly it will,
the problem Of how to provide for these
students wants will be a serious one to
do all this, as you say in your editorial. The
taxpaying public would like to know how
their money is spent, and, knowing this.
they are willing to contribute Willingly to
the support Of the educational institutions
of the state.
The people who provide the money ar
ntitled to know and they must know wheE.
the money goes, and it is the earnest dego,.
of the Board of Regents to conduct tn.
fairs of this great institution so that ~
people will have confidence and plea a..
in providing the means to secure to t.
youth OF our state the advantages that
liberal education gives. au
In these latter days when proficien&,Aad
the arts and sciences is not looked upOo
as merely a personal adornment, but that
carries with it responsibility to the bodr
polite, we do well to invite a mutual coto
fidence in provision for and management
Of this one important branch OF the states
business.

Treatment of Tuberculosis.


OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 15.-To the Editor of
The Bee: The attention of the Nebraska
Association for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis is invited to a means Of
prevention which has apparently been en-
tirely overlooked as a negligible quantity
in the methods recommended for adoption
in the cure of the Great White Plague.
Isolation Is the only certain, safe and sat
isfactory mode of combating the ravages
Of this dread malady. To treat the disease
exactly, as we treat smallpox, by adopting
a system of checks upon secrecy in the
reports of the medical fraternity and MAX
ing it a criminal offense to conceal a case,
we shall place the c~onsumptive where he
cannot spread the seeds of disease and
where under proper treatment his chances
of recovery will be greatly enhanced.
1t is generally admitted by the medical
profession that the disease is contracted
by the inhalation of the tuberculi and its
Judgment upon inflamed lung surfaces,
which serves as a developer for the germ,
and that while the lungs are in a healthy
condition the germs might be inhaled with
impunity. If this be true, then the pres
b, ence of the germ in the air at any time one
may be suffering from a cough induced by
congestion of the lungs, however slight
the inflammation, might easily start the
disease.
Remedial measures are only successful
when the most rigid regulations are OBJ
served to sterilize the sputum and all of it,
How much of the malady may possibly be
communicated by the exhalations of the
patient. none of the wisest students OF the
disease pretend to decide. What we need is
the enactment of laws which will place
consumption on q plane with smallpox
so that the physician and the relatives OF
a suspect will be required under severe
penalties TO report Immediately to the
proper authority any doubtful case. Their

such teams as those from Oklahoma, Utah, Arizona. Wyoming and other of the states where the National Guard are numerically weak. are selected from a few hundred men whose instruction and opportunity to practice are neces- sarily limited. In many cases the states do not possess ranges of over six hundred wards and yet their teams are compelled to shoot against the cracks of the army, navy, marine corps and of such states as Massachusetts, New Jersey and Ohio, all of which are equipped with excellent ranges.
 The National Guard is as a whole willing and anxious to try conclusion with the army and other service teams, but there is a growing desire to see conditions adjusted so that especially the weaker states will have better chance. Among the suggestions ad- vanced is that two prizes shall be dis tributed to the National Guard teams, all to shoot at the same time and place and under similar conditions. It is understood that this plan is followed in English matches where the volunteers are not expected to cope with the reg ulNllS Ss Ol IA4N ANstA Ds7 ff AeAA NaNAIN- N-'N volunteers or regulars.
 Another plan which meets with con siderable favor, provides for dividing the contestants into three divisions, the first two to consist of seventeen teams each and the third of the remainder At Camp Perry. ohio this year, there were fifty teams of twelve men each, entered in the National Match, repre- senting fOrty-fiVe states, and territor- ies, the army, navy and marine corps, land the Naval Academy. Under the proposed scheme the first seventeen teams would be entered next summer in the first division. the next seventeen in the second division and the remain ing sixteen, with all new entries, in the third division. Prizes would be of fered in each division and there would be a constant struggle among the teams in each division and of the teams to get from the third into the second or the second into the first division
 President Roosevelt has again given .evidence of his strong interest in rifle practice by writing letters to Sergeant A Brest, of the 18th L. $. Infantry, It. 4. D. Rothroc. Ohio National Guard and to Lieut.. S. A. Harris, 14th, |. s. Infantry, congratulating them on win ming the presidents match, the Nation al Individual Match and the Military Championship, respectively, at the re- cent national rifle matches at Camp Perry, ohio. The presidents match is shot under the rules of the National Individual Match and the man making the highest combined score wins the military championship. Heretofore the

president generally confined himself to congratulating the winner of the pres ident's match, shot under the auspices of the National Rifle association, but this year he wrote to all three men, toned.
 As officers above the rank of captain were excluded from the national matches this year by the wording of the appropriation act, the language of President Roosevelt to It. Rothrock and It Harris is significant. To the former he said, in part: Tt is true that as an officer you would not be re- quired in service to use rifle; but your men must all know how to shoot or they are useless on the battle line; and you could not properly teach them how to shoot unless you had the prac- tical knowledge which only high class shot can possess"
 To Lieutenant Harris he wrote, in part: Tt is with special qualification write this letter to you. Every officer of our army should know how to shoot the rifle Especially is this true Of those officers who serve with infantry and cavalry"

Imatch by the teams representing the regular service. So much distinction
 in the rifle world accompanies the win
 ming of these prizes that the different branches of the services entered into the contest with great spirit. The army. navy, and marine corps col lected their most expert marksmen from all quarters and spent months in selecting and training the teams which finally represented them. The Nation al Guard teams feel that they are at
 a disadvantage under the present rules, as they are necessarily restricted both
 as to time and ammunition, while the regular service teams are not. Again, the cavalry and infantry teams which represent the army, are chosen from fifty or sixty men who are regularly instructed in craftsmanship and whose
 pay IS increased in proportion to their skill with the rifle. On the other hand,
