BRYAN BIDS FOR poosEvEL7I1es.

In the light of the coming campo gu
the platform adopted by the demo-
Gratis of Nebraska under the leadership
and complete control of w. j. Bryan is
a most extraordinary and remarkable
document. With unheard-of sagacity
Mr. Bryan has put forth a platform
which has singled out for endorsement
practically every reform presented by
President Roosevelt, Secretary Tart
la Toilette and others of the reform
leaders in the republican party, about
the only note of discord being deciar-
alton for reduction of tariff duties to
revenue basis.
Instead of government ownership OF
railroads Mr.. Bryan demands such
enlargement Of powers of national AND
state railway commissioners as may be
necessary to give full protection TO per-
sons and places from discrimination.
and he recommends La Follettes plan
of a complete valuation of railway
property as a basis upon which to
compute rates that are equitable.
He endorses the suggestion Of many
republicans that the penalty for viola
ton of law by corporations should be
Imprisonment Of the officers.
He would elect United States sena-
tors by direct vote of the people as
republicans are trying to do thru their
statewide primary laws
Then he endorses President Roose-
velts idea of an Inheritance tax and
includes a repeated endorsement of an
income tax.
He "sympathizes with the efforts put
forth for the reclamation of arid
lands" and endorses the work of the
Roosevelt administration in preserv-
ing forests. building the Panama canal
and increasing pensions to civil war
veterans.
He declares for Philippine indepand-
ence as soon as a stable government
can be established
He favors Postmaster General Won
Meyers postal savings banks and adds
clause for state and national laws
which will require banks to guaran-
tee their deposits.
He opposes both the Aldrieh and
Fowler currency bills and declares for
government notes loaned upon secure
ity and al interest rates that will re-
tire them automatically.
He would charge interest on dcpoS-.
its of government money as has all
ready been proposed by republican
members of congress.

bitrating great labor disputes and in

Startling and suggestive of the need
of general preventative measures as
these figures are. there is evidence
that much has already been accom-
plished i'm preventing infection and IN
the treatment of incipient cases. The
year for which the figures are given
indicates a decrease over the previous
year from 1852 to 1858. Health
boards and the general public are be-
coming alarmed at the ravages of the
disease. and science is giving a portion
of its skill and thought in suggesting
prevention. Medical experts now tell
us that tuberculosis can be entirely
eradfcated from the list of human af-
hictions in time by proper sanitation
and dieting and the enforcement of
common sense health rules. The cru

tematically or too vigorously.
