COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ff. 25-To the Editor of The Pee: In view of the preva lence of typhoid fever In both Omaha and Council Bluffs. I feel that It perhaps might be of advantage to the general pub lic and tho authorities to know that pos sibly the source of the trouble might be located In or through oysters. Soma years ago theic-waa a similar epl demlo In England und It was traced tq an oyster bed which upon examination was found to be directly In the path of the sewage from a largo 'town. Oysters, as you are doubtless aware, are planted In brackish water and the flow of freah water from the river often contains a lot of sew age. Tho bod above referred to had been planted only a few years and as soon as the oysters wero old enough to sell were distributed to different parts of the coun try and the epidemic broke out coincident and It disappeared as soon as the bed was destroy td. b. C. Wooster on rrnn. SILVER CREEK, Neb., Feb. 25. To the Editor of The Bee: If Mr. Bryan has not forfeited the confidence and, to a large ex tent, the esteem of the democrats of Ne braska. It Is not his fault. For how could they have very much confidence In him In view of the fact, for Instance, that while denouncing officials of the trusts for viola tions of the Sherman act and demanding their condign punishment, he, himself, was at the same time guilty of Instigating the Nebraska legislature to enact Into law the Oregon plan of electing United States sena tors In plain violation of the constitution of the United States? And how could they longer very much esteem' him when, after long years of silence on the liquor question while as a candidate, or a prospective can didate, silence would seem to serve his per sonal ambitions, he now announces his adhesion to county option and prepares to fight the democrats of Nebraska, whe, while loyally supporting him for the presi dency la 1308, elected a majority of the members of the legislature on the ground of their opposition to county option? Perhaps Mr. Bryan thinks that In now espousing the cause of county option he Is till serving his own personal ambitions. That may be . true. It is certain that his present next season on Chautauqua plat forms will be more in demand than ever, and when, the preachers and the churches, with his assistance, shall have realized their ambition to gain-political control, of the country, what thing more natural than that they should make him, president of the United States. One thing, however, Is now certain If never before, namely, that Mr. Bryan will never 'be a democratic president of the United States. To my mind it Is quite clear that to a majority of the demo crats of the nation Women's Christian Tem perance union logic in the Women's .Chris tian Temperance union vernacular (and that is a proper characterization, of Mr. Bryan's pronouncement on county .option) will not appeal, . even' . from the eloquent mouth of Mr. Bryan. In Mr. Bryan's deliverance, referred to above, he says: "To favor county option It Is not neces sary that one shall favor prohibition in his own or any other .county.'" And then, he proceeds on .the. assumption that county option is simply giving the people of a county the right to say whether they will or will not. have saloons a right to govern themselves. But that Is a gross misrepresentation of fact. Even county optlonists will not now deny that county option permits . the people of a county to govern themselves only to the extent of saying that they will not, have saloons and does not permit them to say that they will have saloons. County .option means county prohibition and nothing else. Mr. Bryan Is either misinformed or is willfully attempt ing to mislead. , Any honest scheme . of county option would provide that a ma jority might force saloons Inyo a town that did not want them as well at, to provide that a majority might keep saloons out of a town that did want them. True, one who was opposed to county prohibition' might favor county option. But none but a natural born idiot would do so and thus concede the right of his opponents to gov ern, being in. a majority, and' at. the same time surrender the right of his own side to govern If it should happen to be in the majority. Mr. Bryan says: "The record of - the (last) legislature has but ope blot on It, and that blot was put there by the liquor in terests. They controlled enough of the senators to prevent tho submission of the initiative and referendum." If the defeat of that proposed measure was a blot on the record of the legislature. Is it not true that the adoption of another measure, namely, the Oregon plan of electingUnited States senators, which was, and which was intended to be, a nullification of a plain provision of the constitution Of the United States,' was als. a blot, a much deeper stain on the record of that legislature? The liquor Interests are charged with de feating an embryo act of the legislature of a state. Mr. Bryan Is undeniably guilty of beguiling the legislature of a state Into committing a rape on the constitution of his country. "People who live, In glass houses should not throw' stones." But is It true that the liquor Interests controlled senators? It might with equal reason be said that a majority of the voters of Ne braska were controlled by the liquor inter ests, which is absurd.' A majority of the members of the legislature and of the sen ate were elected chiefly because of their avowed opposition to county option. They were elected to the legislature with the full understanding that they would defeat any thing and everything that had srfiy prohibi tion In It. That initiative and' referendum measure had prohibit! n n 1:; It was pus el to tho front for that very reason; ht did not stand on Its own bottom; it was sailing under false colors and ought to have been defeated. Except for preacher lobbyists and well-meaning and misguided women who Influenced some weak-kneed and sus ceptible members to betray their constitu ents, it would have been defeated by a much larger majority, and the 8 o'clock e losing law would alto have bt-eyf defeated. Let not Mr. Bryan think he can lead the democrats of Nebraska and of the country into the prohibition camp. They have fol lowed him loyally, but not b'lndly, and now ho and they are at the parting of the ways. He has put his hand to the prohibition plow and cannot turn back. They will not go with him, and to them his word Is no longer law. CHARLES WOOSTER. A Trademark for Omaha. ELBA, Neb.. Feb. 25 To the Editor of The Bee: For an Omaha trade mark I would suggest the "O" be made, then In side the "O" the "M" be made. Then after these are made cross the first "A," mak ing "Oma," then cross the next line, mak ing tha "H." Then make a cross In the next "A" making "Omaha."' This would make complete spelling of Omaha.

Improve ments to this city In which I have always been Justly proud. I have twice been honored byvthis district by election to the state senate and the application of laws that have affected South Omaha, which I have introduced and assisted In passing have been experienced ' by its citizens. It remains to be understood and tried as to whether the wholesale method of making special Improvements to be paid for chiefly by the city at large (Including the paving of ' Hexstor boulevard) will he satisfactory and endorsed. Also as to whether the change which practically eliminates the tax commissioner (except as a copyist) will be., endorsed. Also as to whether the- chang-e electing the Fir and Polloe Board commissioners will Improve the morals of this community and provide a better board than the one last, appointed by Oovernor Sheldon.' The present filings for this position is a good indication of the prob able results. The change In our charter providing for a great deal more printing to.be printed a great many more times at about double the price Is an ' item . of several thousand additional unnecessary taxation. The foregoing Is not a summary of the whole, but merely t a few of the poli tical and revenue changes made In South Omaha's charter at the last session of the legislature, which to - my mind and the minds of many others were not beneficial, and as an answer to mnpy of my friends who have criticised me for not taking part In the last so-called anniversary of South Omaha's birth, I wish to say that I give great credit and honor to all of the un- segregated members of the South Omaha Commercial club and I hope and believe It may outgrow Its organizers and become a great and beni.flcent institution for good In this community, but my opinion of the real purpose of the prime promoters of that meeting is that If properly named it should have been called the antl-annexatlon and legislative ratification gathering. of South Omaha.
