DIR. KOCH,s GREAT WORK.
Invaluable Service Rendered the
World by German Investigator.
PHILADELPHIA RAcord

Invaluable Service Rendered the
World by German InvestiEatOr.
Philadelphia Record.
About thirty five years ago Dr. Koch
rendered invaluable service to the world
by his investigation of anthrax or splenic
fever, a disease greatly dreaded by owners
OF cattle and sheep. This discovery raised
htn from the position Of a country doctor
to a world-famous medical authority and
gave him the opportunity of studying
tuberculosis, the germ OF which he isolated
nearly thirty years ago. Tuberculin, which
he invented, has not proved, as he hoped,
a specific for tuberculosis, but 1t has been
a valuable aid to doctors in diagnosing the
disease in human beings and animals, but
chiefly in the latter, because there are
other means of ascertaining II a human
being has the disease.
DIR. Koch declared that tuberculosis was
not communicated from animals to man
kind, and medical opinion In this country
and England has strongly contradicted him,
and 1t has been repeatedly stated that he
had been refuted. And yet at the recent
meeting in Washington Of the National So
ciety for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis a resolution was adopted,
based upon exhaustive investigation in New
York, saying that only about 2 per cent
Of the cases of tuberculosis can be traced
to milk and these are wholly among very
young children. The position taken by
these American experts was very nearly
as comprehensive as that which DR.. Koch
had taken, and which had arrayed against
him most of the English-speaking doctors.

A question that would be tragic in tone

for mirth is addressed to Governor Judson
Harmon in today's number of the COM
moner by Hon. William j. Bryan:
Are you ready to have your measure

Without waiting for Governor Harmon's
reply we venture the unofficial conjecture
that the democratic governor OF Ohio is,
in fact. getting ready to have his measure
taken. That Is to say, we believe from vari-
Gus indications that he and many OF his
friends and admirers, including the OBJ
servant mayor of this town. are awake to
the possibility that the democratic national
convention in the early summer OF 1912 may
nominate him for president OF the United
States and that the Hon. Judson Harmon
may consequently become the subject Of
measurement early In November OF that
same year.
We advise Governor Harmon to respond
to the solemnly uttered challenge from Lin
coin. Surely Mr. Bryan has the right to
know, he himself having been measured
in tho sense aforesaid not less than thrice

The Governors Psrauisites.

Secretary of State Junkin has gone
to the trouble of compiling some fig-
ures to combat the current impression
sedulously spread by interested par
ties that to serve as governor of
Nebraska involves a great financial
sacrifice because of the inadequate
compensation. 1t is true that the
salary of $4,000 fixed by the constitu-
ton strikes most people as ridiculous,
and when contrasted with governors
salaries in other states makes Me-
braska look decidedly parsimonious,
but Mr. Junkin calls attention to the
numerous perquisites that have gradu-
ally attached themselves to the gov
ernor's Office. and which. when added
together, make a figure which lie not
necessarily discouraging.
In addition to the $4,000 salary the
governor of Nebraska has free use of
the executive mansion, for whose
maintenance an additional $4,000 a
year is provided, and An extra allow
ance Of $40 for a special care-taker.
The governor also has travelling ex-
pense appropriation OF $500 year,
the whole totaling $6,S40 plus rent
free use of the mansion. This leaves
out Of account a few little perquisites
like flowers furnished from the insane
asylum conservatories and potatoes
from the penitentiary farm. The
once OF governor, Therefore, measured
as against employment by some pri-
vate corporation is worth in dollars
and cents to the incumbent not less
than $1,000 a year, which is not so
bad considering what most OF our gov
ernors would have earned IL they were
working for someone else than the
public.
In this connection Mr.. Junkin omits
to note that all these perquisites are
pocketed by the governor in direct
violation Of the letter and spirit of the
constitution, which expressly declares
that he shall receive a salary Of $4,000
and that neither he nor any of the
other state executive offacers shall ere
ceive to their own use any fees, costs,
interests. perquisites of ONCE or other
compensation" In addition to that pre-
scribed in the constitution. We have
had governors who conscientiously re-
fused to draw an appropriation for
house rent, but gradually the barriers
were broken down and the supreme
court kindly came to the rescue by
finding an underground passage by
which the compensation could be in
creaeed by calling the perquisites
equipment of once" Instead, there
fore, OF having the salary Of our gov
ernor known and fixed, 1t has come to
depend upon the bounty of each sue
cessive legislature in responding to
the entreaties and lobbying for liberal
executive mansion appropriations. II
some future supreme court should
some day get back to the constitution
there might be need to raise the gov
ernor's salary, but 30 long az 1t is elias
tic and expansive under this fake
"perQuisite" system the people will
hardly be distressed by the financial
sacrifice cry.
