TITE OMAITA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY. MARCII 29. 1903. SCROFULA The tainted blood of ancestors lays upon the shoulders of innocent off spring, untold suffering by transmitting to them, through the blood, that blighting disease, Scrofula; for in nearly every instance the disease can be; traced to some family blood trouble, or blood-kin marriage which is contrary to the laws of nature. Swelling, ulcerating glands of the neck, catarrh, Tk 'JSif!' Scrofula appeared on the head of my little skin eruptions, white swell- dchiid wm7n only lS months old, and spread mg, hip disease and other r,pyiy over her bodv. The disease next attacked deformities, with a wasting the eyes and we feared she would lose her sight, of the natural strength and it was then that we decided to try S. S. S. That vitality, are some of the ways medicine at once made a speedy and complete this miserable disease man- cure. She is now a young lady, and has never ifests itself.

LUXURY IN THE POOR MUSE Great Hole Into Which County Board Dumpi Thousands of Dollars. APPALLING INCREASE IN ANNUAL EXPENSE Detailed Flltiircn that ihnw How the tout of Maintaining the Poor Farm and Hoftpltnl Una (ironn. After all. It Isn't so had to be a county charge In Douglas county, that Is If one gets all the county pays for. It may be doubted that the unfortunates who were consigned to the cure of the county at the poor farm and hospital under demo cratic rule received all that Is charged up against them, for the discrepancy be tween that figure and the figure made by the republican mnnugers of the same place Is too great. During the last fifteen years the average cost of maintaining an Inmate of the county hospital has been $190.17, a little more than 50 cents per day. Nine of these years were demo cratic years, and during them the average cost per Inmate was 1215.42, a trifle over 69 cents per day. During the rix repub lican years the average cost per Inmate was $156.64. or a little more than 42 cents per day. It Is not to be alleged that the republican managers of the farm and hospital did not take care of their wards, for no complaint was ever heard on that score, and one of the charges the demo crats brought to secure themselves con trol waa "republican extravagance." Figures Support Statement. But It Isn't necessary to depend on memory for the facts. The table here with published gives figures from the county records that are more eloquent and convincing In their silence than any writ ten or .spoken statement could possibly be. During the first three years of the period. John J. Mahoney, democrat, was superintendent of the farm and hospital. Under his management the average cost per Inmate was. $31.28. George B. Stry Uer. renuhllcan. followed for three years and reduced the per capita cost to $166.03, a considerable saving over the Mahoney figures. Oeorge M. Wright, also a repub lican, succeeded Btryker for three years, and he mado a reduction from the com paratively excellent showing made by Stryker, bringing the figures down to $147.25. In 1897, under Wright's adminis tration, the per capita cost was reduced to $132.91, the lowest of any year in the fifteen. William H. Olmstead, a demo crat,, succeeded Wright, when the demo crats captured the county board in 1839, and immediately sent the figures up again. He was' In office two years, and succeeded in raising the average to $201.69, not quite up to Mahoney'i mark, but doing pretty well. Dan W. Cannon, follower of the fortunes of the County Democracy sig nificant title had a year of superlnten dency, and was content with the modest raise necessary to set the, figures at $209.69. J. Henry Oest of South Omaha, Just to how that he Isn't a bit superstitious, put the figures for his uninterrupted year in control of the farm and hospital at $213.38. The next year responsibility was divided between Oest and Thomas McCleneghan, but the record didn't lose anything by reason of this, and at the end of 1903 the per capita cost had Jumped to $219.77. Mc Cleneghan must have felt himself sort ot handicapped by the Oest administration, for when he got hold by himself In 1904 he made things hum at the poor farm, and at the close of the year had Bet the boss high mark, an average coot per Inmate of $236.84, or over 60 cents a day. ' Comparison Year by Year. It may be set up that some of these years were years of plenty and some were lean years, and that the cost of mainten ance .varied as prices have risen or fallen In the market. Let us see. In 1890 Johnny Mahoney had an average of ninety-nine persona at the hospital, and he fed them with meat at a cost of $1,428.79, about $14.30 per capita. In 1904 Superintendent Mo Cleneghen had an average of 184 inmutes to feed, and his bill for meat 1b $5,924.66, an average per capita of $32.19, or a little moro than twice what the bill was fifteen years ago. And no man will stand up and say that meat has doubled In cost since that time, even In the presence of the Beef trust Inquiry. In 1W2 hogs reached the highest flgiye ever known in western experience, selling for some time at $8 and over. That year Mahoney's meat bill was $2,464.42 for 112 inmates, an average of $21.91, still very much below the record set by McCleneghen. In 18116, when the county was In the very ecstacy of democratic good times, Superintendent Wright fed to 137 In mates meat to the amount of $2,247.70, showing that the republicans didn't stint the inmates when It came to something to eat. Mahonry's bill for groceries for ninety nine inmates was $2,291.43, and McClene ghrn's last bill for the same sort of sup plies for 181 Inmates was $S,466.:5; that Is, for less than twice as many Inmates the accounts show that McCleneghen spent more than three times as much money In buying groceries. During Mahoney's term it was the clothing item that loomed big, for he made a record that neither of the other superintendents have been able to ap proach since. Verily, the inmates must have been arrayed like Solomon under Ma honey, if they were decentlyclad under the others. Kxamine the figures if you want to bear out this assertion. ' M'hlnkj, Fuel and Soap. It was a pretty sober bunch that Ma honey had, for his three years show nothing expended for whisky on account of the poor farm and hospital. But the item has pros pered since then. Starting with $75.10 under Stryker, It has mounted to $725.12 under McCleneghen. Surely, no inmate need huve suffered for his dram during the year 1904, when almost 260 gallons of whisky at $3 per gallon was supplied for thu consumption of 184 Inmates. One won ders what kind of a winter Johnny Ma honey spent out at the poor farm In 1S92, when he topped all records with his coal bill. In 1890, which isn:t recalled here as a winter uncommonly mild nor when fuel was remarkably cheap, the bill for the hospital was but $1,706.03, while two years later, a season the oldest Inhabitant says didn't break any records in either high or low temperature, the fuel bill for the hos pital waa $3,857.62. And this still Is the record. J. Henry Oest almost reached It ten years later, when he jumped the total up to $3,661.07, but the Mahoney 'mark Is still the record for fuel at the poor farm. Dan Cannon holda the belt for labor, but he had the advantage of being superin tendent when the now malodorous plumbing Job was put through. That year the county paid $3,070.87 for labor at the poor farm.- But Olmstead, Oest and McClene ghen all managed to get In something worth while under this Item, as an inspection of the table will prove. Mahoney's repair bill of $2,957.21, In 1901, is the record in that line. A noticeable feature of the showing is that while Mahoney bought no whisky for the hospital during the first three years of the fifteen-year period under considera tion, Oest and McCleneghen bought no soap during the last three years. The con clusion Is obvious. This list is capable of almost indefinite extension. Salaries at the poor farm have grown from $5,200 under Mahoney to $7,500 under McCleneghen. All other Items show similar growth. In 1890 the poor farm and hospital cost Douglas county to maintain $16,859.87. In 1904 the expenditure on account of the same Item waa $43,678.09. Is it any wonder taxes are high and that the county Is not on a cash basis? MURDER IN PENITENTIARY Investigation In Progress In Penn vanla as to Where Convlet Secured Knife. PITTSBURG, March 28. Charles Turner, aged 30 years, a convict In the Western Pennsylvania penitentiary, was murdered at that Institution early today by Paul Kruger, another convict during an alterca tion while at work In the bake house. Kruger stabbed Turner with a knife which he hud secreted on his person. The murderer was immediately confined in the dungeon. The officials of the peni tentiary are making a thorough. Investiga tion us to how Kruger came to have the weapon In his possession as the prisoners are searched almost dally. GOOD AND BAD TRADE UNIONS Omaha Business Men's Association Hears an Address on the Topic. CLOSED SHOP AND INDIVIDUAL EFFORT E. C. Emory of San Kmnclnro. Who Has Won .C'onfldenre of Kmplo) era by 111 Attitude, Speaks In Omaba. E. C. Emory of San Francisco, counsel for the Citizens' alliance of that city and recog nized since his speech at the Cklzens' In dustrial association convention In New York City as one of the most convincing: speakers In the buslnrss mn's organiza tion, addressed the Omaha Business Men's association lat evening at Creighton hill. He came here at the Invitation of the local body, which learned that he was on his way east from California and made haste to avail Itself of the chance to heur h'm talk. The hall was about one-third full when Timothy J. Mahoney, who acted ns chair man ' In the absence of Euclid Martin, president of the association, Introduce! the speaker of the evening. Qua Kcnzc, as one of the buslnrss men, acted as exalted outer sentinel, and not being able to hear the argument, grumbled at their length. Admittance wai by card, only. "My talk this evening." said Mr. Bmory. after the meeting, which was secret, "was along the line of a solution and regulation of the tendency to abuse of power or ex cessive use of It on the part of the labor or ganizations, and a regulation of its im proper use where It crops out by counter organizations. I do not mean by thin, you understand, the alignment of capital against labor, but that the condition will be regulated by sober public opinion. I be lieve the strength of the labor organ'za tlons today Is due to the sympathy of the public for what It believes to be the under dog. The public believes the men have been forced to work under unfair conditions of pay, and hours, and unsanitary surround ings. I do not believe, however, that pub lic opinion will support the sympathetic strike, any more than it will support the boycott or the blacklist or the attempt to coerce unorganized labor Into its member ship. Popular Sort of I'nlon. "I do believe that any union which makes Its membership valuable to Its members and to the community by working for fair hours and pay and sanitary conditions without intruding on the rights of employ ers as citizens and on the Individual rights of unorganized laborers; or any union that makes its membership attractive, as do the fraternal societies, the church and other organizations; I believe the principles and methods of such will always secure the ap proval of the public. But the union which cannot stand the test of pressure from pub lic opinion and of counter organizations will be dissolved or reformed." Mr. Emory says the unions have grown Into the possession of great power and have In many cases yielded to the tempta tion Inseparable from Its possession to use It. He belirves principles are advocated which are distinctly dangerous. Among these he classes the closed shop, the coercion of nonunion labor and the limiting of apprentices. He believes the closed shop Is the really essential question. He holds It is dangerous ecomonlcully and politically, for It creates an Industrial monopoly. He considers this Is true, for It limits the chance to work for the nonunion man, and where the principle has been applied re sulted In restricting the visible supply, of workmen not to the available supply, but to those permitted to work. Apprentices and "Closed" Shop. He considers the limiting of apprentices as a very serious matter, and pointed out Seattle as an example, where the plumbers have made a ruling that no one shall be taught the trade there for seven years. Mr. Emory points out that the United States must compete with European countries, particularly Germany, which have splendid apprentice systems. As a result, he says, In this country the Germans are doing the scientific work, while they are not found digging the ditches. They all have trades. While Mr. Emory considers the union which attempts to gain better hours and wages and conditions for Its members by legal means Is a good thing for Its members and for the community, he believes the prin ciples of the closed shop and others are Il legal fiom the standpoint of morality and of law. In New York and in Illinois, he points out, contracts to run a closed Bhop have been declared Illegal on the ground that they tend to create monopoly and that they were usually made under pres sure. He says in his argument against the closed shop that a man must either sur render his right to work as an individual, unaffiliated with a labor organization, or he must give up his right to work. This de prives a man of the right to exercise his free will." The Christian Scientists of Omaha have Just completed arrangements for a leq ture on Christian Science to be delivered In the Auditorium Sunday afternoon, 3:30 o'clock, April 2, by W. D. McCrackan of New York City. Mr. McCrackan Is well known In the literary world, being a mem ber of the Authors' club of New York City; also of the American Historical asso ciation.

The lecture is free and affords a delightful opportunity to hear an authorized state ment on this subject, Mr. McCrackan being a member of the board of lectureship. OUR LETTER BOX. A Correction. OMAHA. March 28. To the Editor of The Bee: In Tuesday morning's Bee, after pay ing a well-deserved compliment to the an niversary edition of the World-Herald, you Say: Its enterprise would have been as com mendable as It has been profitable hHd It been Issued on the fortieth anniversary of the old Omaha Herald, which was really grafted on to an 8-year-old weekly by Dr. Miller. Permit me to correct this statement, for the reason that The Bee is entirely mis taken. The Herald was never "grafted" on to an "8-year-old weekly by Dr. Miller," or by anybody else. The Nebrasklan died on the hands of Mr. Jackson a natural death from pure Inanition. The Herald had no more connection with It than It had with its New York namesake. It did not even buy Its material, and Mr. Jackson never knew that the Herald' was to appear until everybody else knew it. Its founder never even saw, or sought to see, the subscrip tion llst'of the Nebrasklnn, or any other "8-year-old weekly." The actual fact was that that paper did not even have so much as a shred to graft on to either In subscription lists or otherwise. GEORGE L.. MILLER. Dodare States Mia Position. LINCOLN. March 28.-To the Editor of The Bee Dear Sir: In a recent issue of your paper I notice an editorial In regard to the proposed amendment to the consti tution providing for the election of railroad commissioners. I take exceptions to the Insinuations as to the motive of the bill wherein you state that It "has all the earmarks of an In genious scheme to eliminate from our pres ent constitution provisions fatal to the ex ercise of effective railway regulations," and further remarks throughout the editorial Insinuating that it is a "railroad measure." Aside from this element In your editorial I could but take the rest of the editorial as sincere and well worth considering as to the merits of the bill. As to the motive of the bill, I think it Is sufficient for me to simply deny the insin uation and state that it Is not only unfair but untrue, as is apparent to anyone who is familiar with my record In the house on all questions that have so far arisen. I opposed the Foster freight rate bill be cause I think It Is not only unconstitutional but unfair. According to the best authori ties on railroad legislation, viz., Hadley, Larrabee or Dixon, all of whom have writ ten excellent books on the subject, and all of whom agree that legislative freight rate enactments, however valid constitutionally, have never been practically successful. In asmuch as they are. drafted by persons of little or no experience on the subject. Moreover, they all agree that rates at com petitive points are reasonable, If not below cost, and I felt therefore that to reduce these rates 10 per cent would be unfair. If not Illegal. A maximum freight rate bill drawn by a railroad commission or any other body of men who have studied each local condition and arrived at a rate that will stand the test of the courts would receive my hearty support. Even should you think I do not still clear myself of the charge of Introducing meas ures favorable to the railroads I might merely add that H. R. 297. the commission bill in question, was drawn by T. J. Ma honey, as attorney for the Omaha Real Estate exchange, and was given to me, to gether with the terminal taxation bill. I think that even ' the editor of The Bee, with as little regard as he has for Mr. Mahoney, will not. -but admit that he would not draft a measure as attorney for the Real Estate exchange that was Intended to aid or abet the railroads. As to the merits of the commission bill, tn answer to your arguments against It 1 would State first the words of the bill are as follows: Tho. State . Board if Railroad Commis sioners shall have power to establish, mod ify and enforce reasonable rates of charges for the transportation of persons and freight on the different railroads within the state and prevent discrimination and abuse and adjust and determine controversies In respect to transportation facilities, charges and discriminations, and all other powers which may hereafter be granted by the legislature. I do not believe that this gives exclusive powers to the commissioners any more than to cny other constitutional board which Is subject to legislative control. The pres ent Board of Public Lands and Buildings (Sec. 19, Art. I) by constitutional amend ment has "supervision and control of all the buildings, grounds and lands of the state, the state prison, asylums, and all other in stitutions thereof." Surely your objections to the commission bill are Just as tenable against this section of our constitution, and yet no one has ever yet feared the power of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings, and no one has- ever contended that the clause took away from the legis lature any power to control this executive body, and it has always exercised Its power of limiting or extending the powers and duties of the board. In other words, I deem a railroad commission as an execu tive board, a mere servant of the state, and it occupies a similar position as a corporate official, such as president or sec retary, and no matter what may be his powers and duties he Is always subject to the orders of the board of directors. The legislature Is the board of directors of our state corporation. For one body to grant power to another does not neces sarily take from the body granting the power that which It gives. It may be merely co-ordinate. The legislature may tako away that that It gives, or may add to It. However, even should this be con strued as giving exclusive and paramount power to the commission, I believe that the amendment to the section made by Mr. Windham of Cass would meet your objec tions, for he adds the words above quoted, and not found In the original bill: "And all other powers, which may be hereafter granted by the legislature." It would be hard to glv the commission any power without meeting the objection that you raise, that it Is taking the power from the legislature. All powers must bo enforced by an executive body. No mat ter what laws might he enacted in regard to freight rates, without a commission em powered to restrict and enforce, the laws would be Inoperative, as was the experience In Iowa, where the railroads continually committed breaches of the maximum freight rate laws until the commission was provided for and penalties were enforced. You raise the point that by repealing section 7, of article XI of the constitution, which gives to the legislature the right to control express, telegraph and railroad companies nnd substituting therefore the following section: "The legislature shall provide by law for the enforcement of the powers and authority of the State Board of Railroad Commissioners, which powers shall extend over all railroads, express, telegraph and car companies operating within the state," Is taking away from the legislature the powers It now possesses and Is therefore a dangerous provision In II. R. 297. You will admit that In order to give the commission any power at all, It will be necessary to change that clause of the constitution that vests all the power In the legislature. I do not believe that by providing, as the bill does, that the legislature shall provide for. the enforce ment of the powers by the commission, that it takes in any degree from the power of the legislature to enact laws will compel the commission to perform their duties, for, as I take It, tho com mission Is merely the executive body created to enforce the laws present and future. As to the proper regulation of railroads, should they fail to perform their duties as the servants of the people, the legislature reserves the right to pass pitch laws as will compel them to do their duty. I take It that a commission Is a Joint, Judicial and executive tribunal, that not only hears and decrees, but Is able to execute, thus combining the features of a court and executive. As I have said before, I do not claim that house roll 297 Is a panacea for all the present railroad' problems, but that It Is the first and only rational step to wards railroad legislation. Hampered as we are by our constitution and unable to create executive boards by mere legisla tive enactment, we are compelled to first amend the constitution, a barrier, I do not believe faced the legislature of Iowa, and they were thus able to pass a railroad commission bill, providing in detail for all the functions of the board and covering some twenty pages of an ordinary volume. Such a lengthy bill could not be enacted as a constitutional amendment. Two years from now, the legislature should enact a bill similar to the Iowa railroad commission bill, passed several years after the board was created, giving power to the board to create and carry out the railroad rates and regulations. However, I believe that people could readily dis agree as to the methods of meeting the present railroad problem, and that no offense could be taken, unless the charge is made, as you have made 'it in your editorial, that this measure Is Inspired by a desire to assist the railroads and to befog the minds, of the public. That In sinuation is absolutely false. N. P. DODGE JR. SPORTS OF A DAY. marble: makes a new record Hla Total of 747 Makes New Mark for Western Bowlers.
