To Correct a Misunderstanding.

Kearney. Neb.. Nov. 2s.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Will you please
give a little space to correct serious
misunderstanding which has caused
injustice to this institution through
recent stories in the papers? These
stories implied that the parents
wishes were ignored in the disposition
of the body of patient who died here
October 20, by the name Of Katie
Reider.
By repeated kilograms and with
much difficulty the parents of this
patient were summoned to her bed
side. After her death the body was
delivered to a reputable, licensed I'M
dertaker just as IL she had died at
home. and he was guided by the in
structions which the parents gave him.
They said that they could not afford
a funeral, so were told that there was
a law whereby the state would take
care Of the body If they would deliver
it to the state, and they would not
have to pay anything. They were told
that this was for them to choose and
tell the undertaken.
Twice they visited the undertaking
parlors and there were told exactly
the situation and after careful eXpla-
nation they said to the undertaken:
I'VE are poor; we cannot help Katie
now by paying money; we will go
home and take care of our living
children. You send Katie to Omaha"
They were told that If they wished to
change their minds within sixty days
they could have the body for burial.
They evidently changed their minds,
but in allowing the spread of false
ideas there has been great injustice
done this institution, which belongs to
the people of Nebraska and is run for
the people with an earnest zeal to
alleviate and to prevent the terrible
toll Of suffering and death due to this
catching and preventable disease, con-
sumption. L. S. B. ROBINSON.

they may be, should not be met That
sort of federal legislation, as further !
exemplified in the federal good roads
law, is vicious in the extreme, and
the states should put stop to 1t by
fatty refusing to meet the require
ments' of any such acts. The situa-
ton is about this: The president and
congress want the states to do GER
tain things; but having no power to
compel them, undertake to bring
about such conditions that they will
comply to avoid doing worse.
Our boys have no proper business
on the Mexican border anyway, and
the president ought to be made to

CHARLES WOOSTER.
Merits of Dirt and Paved Roads.
Florence, Neb., Nov. 29.--To the
Editor of The Bee: An article in
The Bee commended the virtues of
the permanent roads and criticized
the present system of dirt roads. Both
propositions have points in their favor
although / think that the well-graded
dirt road would be the choice Of the
greater per cent Of the farmers, who
nave TO pay large portion toward
road building and upkeep.
We realize that roads such as the
recently defeated paving bond issue
called for would have been very nice
for folks living in town and owning
who could drive along
these paved highways, and l suspect
part of their conversation would be
about how fortunate the people living
along said road were, when in fact,
the poor farmer would be working all
day and worrying all night for fear
that he wouldn't meet the taxes which
come as the direct result of said pave
ment.
We have a splendid example of
what expensive pavement roads do to
the agricultural districts in the New
England states, where in many parts
land is selling for from $50 to $40 per
acre. Why? Because the taxes are
so high that it doesn't pay to farm the
land. I do not mean to say that the
roads of this county and state could
not be improved, but that well-Ieveled
and well-kept dirt roads which would
benefit all, would meet with the ap-
prevail of more people out on the
farms, than the expensive permanent
roads reaching only favored few.
