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

blood pollutes and weakens that health-sustaining fluid and in place of its
nutritive qualities fills the circulation with scrofulous matter and tubercular
deposits, often resulting in consumption. A disease which has been in the
family blood for generations, perhaps, or at least since the birth of the suf-
lerer, requires constitutional treatment, o. o. d.
is the remedy best fitted for this. It cleanses the
blood of all scrofulous and tuberculous poisons,
makes it rich and pure and under the tonic effects
of this ereat blood medicine the general health im
proves, the symptoms all pass away, there is a sure return to health, the dis
ease is cured permanently while posterity is protected. Book on the blood

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?

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."

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.

When you are first aware of any private disease, weaknesses or drains upon .
vour vitality, then it is that you Bhould decide an Important question, one that
means much to your future health and happiness. It you procure the proper
medical advice without delay you will secure to yourself that health, success
and enjoyment of life which is every man's lot, whone bright and steady eves,
clear and healthy skin, active brain, congenial makeup and physical develop
ment show that no contaminating influences of private diseases are devastat--ing
his system. That no mental, moral or physical weaknesses are depleting
his manhood, that no secret drains. upon his vitality are robbing him of Ids
substance and making: his life a miserable failure.
Otherwise, If you delay too long or experiment with uncertain and Improper
treatment, or allow yourself to be deceived by misleading statements or incom
petent doctors or specialists, then you will be one of the many unfortunates
who have long regretted that they held their first little ailment too cheaply;
who, after years of suffering and dosing with cheap preparations, free treat
ments and quick cure fallacies, came to the specialists of the State Medical In
stitute to be cured. They fully realize the great mistake that they huve made
