SEC'Y BRYAN ON SUFFRAGE AND
PROHIBITION-HIS VIEWS

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 11.-Declaring
that, in his opinion, the time is not
ripe for national action relative to
woman suffrage and prohibition, but
that more can be done through the
agency of the various states, Secre-
tary of State Bryan, in a signed edi-
torial in the December issue of the
Commoner, says he is interested in
seeing the Democratic party take the
moral side Of the questions.
If the Democratic party fails to
heed this warning, declares Mr..
Bryan, it does so at it's peril. He says
in part:
There is no reason to believe that
a prohibition amendment to the fed
eral constitution, or a suffrage
amendment, would at this time, be
ratified by three fourths of the states,
even if it secured a vote of two
thirds of the two houses.
Believing in both women's suffrage
and the abolition of the liquor traffic,
Twould vote for either amendment if
submitted, but the time does not seem
Opportune for the submission of eth
er of these amendments. A national
contest for either amendment would
simply divert attention from other
issues upon which the people are
ready to act." .--...-,---.

FINDS SCARLET FEVER GERM.
Or. Gives Explanation of Process for
lmmunzation.

Montreal Jan. 3.-Details of
discovery of great Importance dealing
with the casual agent of scarlet fe-
yer were submitted by DR.. Newell
S. Fety of Detroit to the Society
of American Psychologists, in ses
sion here. In a paper DR.. Ferris
said he had found a germ which ne
believed to be the cause of the dis
ease and described the process of
minimizing which he had employed.
DR.. Ferry said that in the con-
tagious diseases hospital at Detroit
he had immunized employees and
for three years no case of the dis
ease developed among those so treat
ed. The immunizing was then dis
continued for three months and sew
eTal nurses contracted scarlet fever.
DR. Ferry offered his discovery to
the members of the conference for
further tests.
DR.. Walter e. King of Detroit said
he had discovered a germ spirochaci
suis which he believes is the cause
of hog choleIh. If this is correct, an
adequate means for preventing hog
cholera may be looked for, ne said.

.ration. Our state government is
composed of three distinct branches
tie executive judicial and legis-
Iativc, each Of which constitutes
part cf the administration, and all
of which are absolutely essential in
the administration Of affairs in the
state. Each of these departments
is responsible to the people for GER
tain things and each should will
lingly bear the responsibility that
| belongs to it. ask no one toI
share with me the responsibilities
that properly fall upon the gov
crnor of the state, but ] do object, |
most earnestly, to charging every |
mistake that has been made during
this administration directly to the
governor. If a mistake has been
made in either of the other two
branches Of government it is mani
festly unfair to charge that mistake
to the governor; likewise it is un-
fair to charge to him any mistake
that has been made in any of the
affairs Of the various departmeI Ia
The governors authority is limit
cd one. 1t is true that the consti-
tuition Of Oklahoma provides that
the governor shall be the supreme
executive officer of the state, and
many good people of Oklahoma be t
lieve that the governor has authority I
to direct. in large measure, the
affairs of the vorious departments.
In reality, he has no such authority, '
and he can no more direct the af
fairs in one of the other branches
Of government or in one of the l
other Independent departments, such |
as the office of secretary Of state, !
treasurer or auditor, than can the i
humblest citizen in the state. t
As the chief executive officer of
the state. the governor is supposed {
to outline certain policies and to l
use his best endeavor to carry these S
policies into effect, but under the a
laws of this state his power to S
carry any policy he inaugurates to /
a successful conclusion is limited
to his own office, and even in his t
office he can only shape its policies t
while he is within the state and 7
acting as its governor Should he, a
for any reason, become incapacitat- t
ed to act as the governor of the |
state and it should devolve upon !
the lieutenant governor to act in !
his stead, no matter for how brief '
a time the disability may exist, rne ,
governor has no power whatever 10 t
see that the policies he has inausu- {
rated are continued in effect and |
the lieutenant governor if he so de- 5
sire, while acting as governor, can t
ignore every plan and purpose OF {
the governor and. in the bMef space ,
Of day can overthrow every policy t
that the governor inaugurates.

A Crusade Worthy of the Name

a Crusade Worthy or the Name
Many inquiries are received by the
state board of health from those who
are afflicted with consumption, or have
members OF their family afflicted with
some form OF tuberculosis. They re
quest information on how relief can
be secured. These inquiries cover a
wide field.
One mother writes relative TO a lit
tie son with tuberculosis OF the spine.
She does not want to see him be
come 4 hunchbaCk. one writes for
help for her daughter. She is without
money: but she will work to support
her daughter. one wife writes that
she is making a fight to get well. She
has family ot three children and she
is afraid that her husband also is in
fected The future does not look
bright for her. She is afraid that
her three children will in short time
be orphans. \ school teacher writes
that in her room last year was a very
bright and promising pupils, young
girl. sixteen years of age. He missed
her this year and after a short time
started an investigation to learn why
she was not with her class He soon
found her. She was confined to her
bed with consumption. She and her
mother lived together in a dugout, and
her mother was taking in washing.
There are a large number of such
letters. Now what is Oklahoma going
to do? We have proper penal insti-
utions where we can contine enemies
of society. They cost the state an
immense sum OF money. We have
proper elemosynary institutions and
these cost large sums of money. We
are meeting the expense OF our mag
nifcent educational system; but what
benefit is an education to a young
man or young woman who will die
with consumption soon after gradua-
tion? Is 1t not just as necessary to
look after the physical health Of so
ciety as to protect it from the crimi-
nal? Is it not just as necessary to
relieve those who are sick with con-
sumption and provide suitable places
for their care and treatment, as it is
to provide and care for those who be
long in the eieemosynsry institutions?
