Despite the fact that an epidemic
of typhoid fever is raging in quite
serious proportions over the state
Marion is enjoying unusually good
health, according to local officials and
there are very few cases of the fever

look into the matter and investiga-
tion is now under way.
The activity on the part of the
board of health here and the willing
ness with which the local people
have complied with their orders Is
given as the reason for the good
health enjoyed here. At the present
time there In not more than one SER
ious case of typhoid fever in the city.
which is being watched by the health
officer. An effort has been made
through the sumner with a view to
protecting the health of local people
through the hot summer months and
II is evident that results are now being
shown.
At Mansfield, over one hundred
cases of typhoid have been reported
to the state officer. In Lake county
Darke and Lorraine counties there
have been a number of cases report
ed so that the situation has been
deemed very serious by the state
board of health. With the exception
of small epidemic of cholera in
fantum the health of the city has been
remarkably good and for this the
health board of this city is fully ap
preciative.

The Primary In Illinois.

For the third time the direct pri-
mary law enacted by the Illinois leg
islature has been declared invalid by
the state supreme court, causing con-
fiict with constitutional requirements.
Each time that the court has knocked
out the primary law the legislature
has re-enacted II with notifications
Intended to remove the features that
failed to pass muster, but In each case
the new law has developed new de-
fects. .
The experience of Illinois raises the
question whether 1t Is possible TO
frame a direct primary law that will
conform to the necessities Of the case
in hat state, and also the question
whether the defects which have in
validated the Illinois law are likewise
to be found in the primary laws Of
other states. The greatest trouble
met with in Illinois in framing a prt-
mary law arises from the minority
representation In the legislature
which is brought about by restricting
the voter to expressing a choice for a
smaller number Of candidates than
the district is accorded in its legisla-
tive representation. The defunct pri-
mary law provides for the nomination
Of only that number of legislative
candidates to which each party re-
spectively might be entitled, with the
result in practice to make a primary
nomination the same thing as an cleo
ton and to substitute the primary for
the election. We have no minority
legislative representation here In Ne
braska and our direct primary law is
free from this complication. We
have, however, here In Omaha been
pursuing the Illinois plan in part,
namely, in making nominations for
the Water board. Although two
members of the Water board are
elected at one time, we have been per-
hitting each party to nominate only
one, whereas under the rulings Of the
Illinois supreme court each party
should nominate two candidates and
let the voter decide between them at
the subsequent election.
The Nebraska primary law has been
upheld in our courts in numerous
cases, but it has been almost entirely
transformed by the amendments per-
petrated by the late democratic legis-
lature. The new legislation may yet

Betting and the Races.

Last fall the racing men were sure
the anti-betting dill had killed horse
racing in New York. but so far the
only visible effect of the law has been
IN the horses. A horse is like a man
in one respect al least, he wants his
feed and he wants it regularly, and If
he has the price he prefers to dine at
a horse Delmonico's. Under the bet
ting ring Jurisdiction about 80 per
cent Of the races were won by horses
picked for a place and under the new
regime 81 per CEN have been won by
the same class, only thirteen events
In 100 going to outsiders. Under the
old system the big feed was in the
betting ring and now the dinner de-
ponds on winning q purse.
Another surprise party is the dis
covery that there are plenty Of people
who like TO see a horse race and that
they have been paying their money all
these years In the hopes of seeing
It instead OF coming to the track
to watch the antics OF the tip seller.
the bookmaker and the fool trying to
separate himself from his money.
The attendance has been up to the
standard and from every point OF
view. according to impartial critics,
the racing season up to date in New
York has been a success.
The real comedy in the situation
is the scramble to return by horse

Tillman,. Cry Of Humbur.

The newspapers on mero oc-
c%asions have expressed their opinion
Of the Hon. 5en5smlR F. Tillman OF
South Carolina and the senator has
now reciprocated by publicly giving
his opinion Of newspapers. With a
stamp Of his foot and a swing Of his
pitchfork the senator declares that
the newspapers are humbugs. The
senator may be unable to see all sides
OF the newspapers, but the more dis
corning papers have not overlooked
some things in the senator's career,
and there is where the shoe pinches
the South Carolinian.
When the newspapers confined
themselves to recording the irascible
outbreaks OF the pitehfork senator, he
emitted a little stage thunder now
and then, but only enough to draw
further notice, for that sort Of pub
licity is Tillman's stock In the chau-
tauqua trade. He could coin It into
dollars and the senator was willing
to do anything to get publicity, ex-
cept to divide the spoils. But when
the senator, with an eye single to the
main chance, was caught red-handed
in his Oregon land deal his free ad-
vertising took on a different hue.
Now the newspapers are humbugs be-
cause they thoughtlessly aided and
abetted President Roosevelt in letting
the light of day in on the senator's
secret.
The unfortunate part of Senator
Tillman's dilemma is that he is only
h~umbugging himself. The newspaper
men find him really useful. Were It
not for the Tillmans and Baileys the
dull routine Of a Washington corre-
spondent's life would be unbearable
and the paragrapher would often be
at sea.

Health is a state OF normal. spiritual,
mental and physical function. 1t has a
definite physical symptom, the chemical
equilibrium Of the blood and organic Sc
cretions.
That is the assertion OF authority. With
the stomach overloaded with food that
sours and Is hard TO digest the blood is
loaded with the sour acids and gases, the
head aches, the nerves are shattered,
bowels disordered. and III health reigns
supreme.
Can one be pleasant, industrious, capable
in such condition? The remedy is simple
wholesome food, open air exercise and
right thinking. often the right kind OF
breakfast means a splendid days work
with head and heart and hand.
A bad breakfast means a day OF nasty
temper and unsatisfactory results. Start
the day right with &c Corn Flakes OF

Nebraska,s V~anishInr Debt.

Springfield, CMass), Republican.
The people Of Nebraska are rejoicing thai
the state faces the near wiping out of its
debt. Only $4,000 or so is left, and the
next pay day will witness the extinction
OF that amount. In explaining the happy
financial situation of that state, the State
Journal OF Lincoln says: The history OF
Nebraska's practical emergence from debt
contains a possible explanation OF the op-
posite tendency OF other states. II was al
the cost of a governorship. let It be re-
membered, hat this bit OF sane finance
was achieved. 1t was taxes levied to clear
up this debt which his opponents used
against Governor Sheldon In his unsuc-
cessful campaign for reelection. Not ali
states are blessed Will political leaders
willing to accept defeat as the reward OF
a proper management of its finances. Ii
that why they stay in debt?"

The proposition to vote bonds for a state

might as well pass out of existence, for 1t
has survived it's usefulness and only serves
now to make a humiliating spectacle TO
make honest democrats hang their heads
in shame. 1 believe that men who him
like we do would rather see the party die
than to see it further p~rostituted to serve
the uses of the base men who now seem to
control it."

Decidedly Objectionable.
Boston Transcript.

Both these taxes, as federal sources of
revenue are decidedly Objectionable. The
corporation has become merely a conven-
lent form of doing business. The person
possessed Of but $1,000 may have IT in
vested In an enterprise organized as a
corporation. The government should not
discourage that method OF organization
by comparison with the partnership or
the individual proprietorship. The man
who is rich enough to own an apartment
house or a mill. or a railroad, should not
be relieved Of taxes that are borne by the
thousand persons forming a corporation
to W any one Of these things. The real
remedy for the situation is radical re-
trenchment in government expenditures.

Endemic of Violent Crimes.

The reopening Of the Kentucky
feuds, assassinations in Oklahoma and
Missouri and the pistol duels in
Mississippi and Illinois. each result
ing in a number Of fatalities, have all
been chronicled within a few days In
rural communities usually compare
lively free from the criminal element,
suggests what might be termed an
epidemic of violent crime. How much
OF 1t is due to the example of the In
terminable Kentucky feuds and how
much to lax administration Of justice
1t is impossible to say, but the alarm
ing frequency OF assassinations and
deadly ARRAYS should have some rem
edy.
The law does. or at least is In
tended, to provide a remedy for
grievances, which leaves no excuse for
such ARRAYS as those in Mississippi
and Illinois. The series Of assassina-
lions in Oklahoma, Kentucky and
Missouri are cowardly and a disgrace
to the states In which they occur and
that in no single instance have the
perpetrators been brought to justice
Is d~iscreditable. Night riding and as
s~assinations Of people peacefully pur-
suing their lawful occupations are a
blot upon our civilization from which
we ought not to have to suffer.

MAKING THE MONEY FLY.
How h Rich scRtters Wealth in So
cial Aviation.
Raltimora Nauys


People who lie awake of nights worrying
over the accumulation of wealth In the
hands Of the predatory rich" ought to
hearten up a bit when they read accounts
OF a trial like that now In progress in New
York, where one OF the 400 Is being sued
for alimony by his wife. There is an illus
tration Of how the rich can scatter wealth
that relieves any fear that this particular
millionaire will become a menace. At the
rate he has been going, 1t will hardly take
three generations for his family to get
back to the shirt sleeve stage.
Among the purchases made. of which the
wife In the case had a very indistinct
recollection, were a diamond diadem for
$4,000, a diamond chain for 500, 900, a dis-
mond pendant for $1S, 900, a rope of pearls
for $4,000 and a sapphire ring for $1,000.
In the way of wearing apparel, she ordered
fifty-four gowns, ten coats and fifteen
hats, at a cost of $50, 900. Her bill for
tailor made suits amounted to IS. 1907. She
did not recall such a thing as a bill of $500
for shoes and could not tell within $40. 900
what she had paid for some OF the jewelry.
From one tailor there were 5000 worth
OF gowns and hats bought within a period
Of fou months.
1t would be a waste OF time to follow
the details of the trial except that II
throws light that is worth having on how
Some of the idle rich spend their time
and their money.

But inherently, such a tax is unfair

ulously unsound. That body Of respectable
in~dtgents. composed Of widows and or.
phans, whose sole means was obtained
from life insurance and small inheritances
Is among the large holders Of corporate

upon the incomes, which form their only
support, is harsh in its bearing.

worthy OF adoption, for several reasons.
First, It IL better than a bond issue or

question as to the constitutlonallty OF an
income tax. Second. It will raise suffi-
eient revenue to put the government on
Its feet, and do It promptly. Third, II
will be protection and insurance to stock
