Care of Health at State University.
Madison.-The fact that over one
fourth Of the total number Of students
enrolled at the University of Wisconsin
applied for medical advice during the
past semester and the six weeks of
summer scholo shows the necessity of
the provisions made last February for
the medical supervision of students
by the new department of clinical
medicine.
Fourteen hundred students were
given attention by this department.
This is 28.4 per cent of the entire en-
rollment last year. OF this number so
per cent. had minor ailments or de-
sired advice as to preventive measures
against disease; 10 per cent. had con-
tracted contagious diseases, including
eight cases of typhoid; % per cent.
suffered from infected wounds, and 10
per cent. had met with accidents, such
as fractures, sprains and burns, main
ly due to outdoor sports and mishaps
in laboratories.
The policy of prevention plays an
important part in the new department
of medical supervision. Every fresh
man must undergo rigid examination
to ascertain his general physical con-
dition Each professor and instructor
who notices pupil falling behind in
his studies and suspects the condition
may be caused by some physical de-
feet, is asked to report the case to the
dean of his department, who in turn
informs the medical supervision de-
partment.

Economic Fair Funds.
At the close of the last fiscal year
the state board of agriculture re-
ported a cash balance of $2,687, but
indications are that the balance at the
close of this fiscal year will reach
$4,000.
This increase is not due to in
creased receipts for the state fair, but
is attributed to economy in arranging
the races and purses and better man
agement in securing attractions and
handling the big shows.

self2 What was the record made2
That your administration was crown
ed with some good, none will deny; but
that an honest official should point with
to only some good performed is no
cause for qualification or self-congratu-
lation for oven the very wicked and
the very corrupt have some good traits
and characteristics, and perform, at
times, meritorious service. Even the
"Gaiour" had his one virtue linked with
q Thousand crimes. Thus you see that
the criterion by which your administra-
tion is to be judged is not only the
"some good performed" but into the
scales Of justice there must be placed
the wrong done, and the evil, sinister
influences that sprang up and out of
that administration. That-all of that
must be carefully weighed and consid-
cred before a just estimate can be
placed upon that administration or an

honest verdict rendered, as to whether
you are worthy to be the recipient OF
further honors and trust at the hands
OF your countrymen.
Let Us enter careful analysis of
that administration and the result of
your official acts during that admins
tration, as we'll as the record made by
you since the close of that administra-
tion. This will materially aid us in
settling that mooted question as to
whether or not you are entitled to fur
ther trust and political preferment.
AS result of that administration,
has the State been benefited? Has her
latent wealth been developed Have
the wonderful natural resources of the
State been brought out, and made to
bless her people, After carefully
going into the matter, we are COM
PEELED to answer all Of these questions
in the negative. Looking at the net
result of that administration from a
business standpoint, one is compelled
to admit that it is woeful failure.
Mississippi is rich in natural re-
sources, but poor in actual money; in
fact this dearth of ready cash has been
the bane of the State and her people
since the war; indeed, there never has
been sufficient amount of ready
money in the state to handle the busi-
ness of the state Or to finance the vari-
GUS enterprises in the State. Missis-
sippi has always been a large borrower
of foreign capital therefore, the one
thing needful to develop the state and
bring forth her dormant powers was the
influx of foreign capital capital to
state capital to institute aud to build
up various other business enterprises
thereby not only giving employment to
our people, but giving employment to
and attracting other desirable citizens
to our commonwealth. Thus our atti-
tude and the attitude of our chief ex-
ecutive should be extremely friendly TO
foreign capital and to foreign inves-
tors.
Was this the attitude of your admin
istration? By no means, but the re-
verse. No governors administration of
Mississippi has ever been so radically
hostile to foreign capital Or so relent-
lentlessly opposed to foreign investors.
Your veto of the foreign corporation
bill has worked untold injury to the
state. That one act drove the largest
pine mill in the world out of the state
and into another state, and is today
draining the state of Mississippi of her
wonderful natural resources, while

giving nothing in return. IL this had
been the only injury done the common
wealth, it would have been sufficient to
forever banished it's author from places
of public trust and responsibility. This
was not the half. Today tho state il
involved in expensive litigation as the
result of that veto; and in all proba-
pility, after years of expensive litiga-
tion, will probably see the present cor
poration law, passed at your behest,
declared unconstitutional for the days
are past when the property of corpora
tions and private individuals, honestly
acquired, can be confiscated with impu-
nifty, even at the behest of the COVER
nor of great commonwealth.
In addition to all of this, the mes
sage which accompanied that veto to
the Legislature was SO radical in it's
tone and 30 far-reaching in it's effect
that foreign investors who were con-
templating investments in the state
were alarmed, and immediately with.
drew their offers, and sought fields for
the investment OF their money where
those in authority were disposed to
deal fairly with and protect the inves-
Conservative business men say that
Mississippi will not recover from the
effects of that ill-advised veto in less
than twenty or thirty years.
You claim that this veto was in the
interest of the common people let us
see how it affects them. 1t is a we'll
known fact that business in the state
was in deplorable condition prior to
the influx of foreign capital, twelve or
fifteen years ago; since the influx Of this
capital, business has increased by leaps
and bounds, until the baleful effects of
the veto became apparent. Then busi-
ness begun to lag, money became scarce
and labor begun to cry out for employ
ment. Had the capital that was seek
ing investment in the state, or would
have como to her under normal condi-
tions been permanently invested hero,
instead Of being driven from the state
by hostile legislation and senseless
agitation, millions of dollars would
have been added to the tax-rolls of the
state, thereby tightening the burdens
of the small taxpayeri and in addition
thereto avenues for employment would
have been opened for thousands of men
at far more remunerative wages than
they are now receiving.
Thus, instead of helping the poer
you haye actually driven wealth from
the state and prevented them from re-
ceiving employment at fair wages, and
also the opening of new markets for

ut your suggestion, private parties car
acquire and own all the land they
want, no limit being placed to their
holdings; they can keep the same, and
exploit it to suit their whim or conven-
ience, transmitting these holdings to
their children intact, thereby laying
tie foundation for the building up of q
landed aristocracy.
This act of yours invited-nay, paved
the way for the very disaster that
should have been avoided, viz; the inn
mense holdings Of farm lands by corpo-
rations. Thus, instead OF saving the
land for the people, you saved it for the
lumber trust, the corporation and the
land baron. This veto shut the door
Of hope to thousands of boys and girls
in the state, who will one day sigh for
q home-a "vine and fig tree" of their
own, where they can bask in the sum
shine of Gods love in Mississippi Does
this act entitle you to the love and con-
fidence of ''the common people" Of Mis-
sissippi, and is it ground for further
trust on their part, and higher honors
at their hands?
You will not, you cannot, deny that
you used the power, the prestige and
the patronage Of your high Office for
the purpose of building up powerful
political machine, which had for it's
object your election to the q. S.
Senate. 1t is not enough to dismiss this
thought with the assertion that others
had done the same. We are not view
ing your conduct now in the light of
what others have done, nor in the light
OF what others may do, but in the light
of justice, truth and right; that high
standard by which the lives, the actions
Of men, can be truly judged.
Through this machine, and the won
derful personality that you possess, you
succeeded in attaching to your train a
very large and enthusiastic following
throughout the state-men who are
attracted by glamor, noise and the
spectacular men who are very largely
displeased with the disparity between
their fortunes and the fortunes Of 9TH
ers around them; or of other fortunes,
which, in the ordinary course of busi-
ness enterprise, may be built up around
them.
1t was your inordinate desire to play
to, catch and tickle the fancy of this
class that prompted, nay, inspired your
veto Of the corporation bill, wherein
you erected 'a great bogy man of
straw and made him a terror to the
universe, and more particularly to the

hoofs, his sinister, forbidding features,

HON. J. R. hOWORTh
Writes Very interesting Open letter
to Him.

Jackson, Miss, August 13.-Hon. ].
X. Howorth, a prominent citizen OF
Forest, has addressed An open letter to
Ex-Gov. J. K. Vardaman, in which he
takes the former Governor to task for
his veto of the corporate limit bill at
discusses other issues involved in tho
pending senatorial campaign. The letter
is one Of the most interesting contribu-
tions that has been injected into the
pending contest, and is as follows:
Major J. K. Vardaman, Editor of tho
Issue, Jackson, Miss:
Has it ever occurred to you that a
mans responsibility is coincident with
his opportunity That the greater
ones opportunity for doing good, the
greater shall be his condemnation
should he neglect any of the opportuni-
ties before him? Then, in all candor,
what shall be the need of condemnation
tho punishment-meted out to him
who deliberately goes to work and
builds up q strong following among the
more ignorant population Of the COM
monwealth, and then deliberately plays
upon their passion, their prejudice
and their ignorance, for personal gain
Not only playing, but preying upon
this simple, trusting, confiding simplici-
ty, and abusing their confidence by
pandsring to that ignorance, using
that confidence to rob and keep them
In ignorance. Not only this, but using
that confidence to instill into the minds
of their children and loved ones the
vilsst doctrines and tho vilest language
known to humanity to instill into their
minds hatred for all that is higher,
nobler and purer than they in their
present environment.
In studying your character, and read
ing your paper, The Issue, it seems
that you have forgotten that man is an
accountable being, responsible to
higher authority for his every act and
every deed. Permit me, sir, to remind
you of the very simple fact that there
are some things which, when compared
with office-holding,or even placed beside
a senatorial toga, make the latter pale
