VICTIMS OF "CHRISTIAN SCIENCE"

Watertown furnishes the latest victim to
christian Science" a young girl having died
there of gastritis after her friends had been
refused access to her with medical assistance.
In this, as in other cases of the kind, it is not
necessary to question the entire sincerity and
good faith of the people who are morally re-
sponsible for needless loss OF life. In fact, 1t
must be assumed that these persons are en-
thusiasts, who firmly believe that they are up
holding the cause Of religion and vindicating
their trust in God by the peculiar methods OF
their practice. OF course, this makes 1t the
more difficult to deal with them, for even if
there were no doubt as to the practicabilty OF
conyicting them under existing laws, it is to
be feared that such conviction would not OPP
crate to deter others from following their ex-
ample. When people are convinced, rightly or
wrongly, that they are obeying divine com
mands, it is impossible to prevent them from
following the course on which they are bent by
the intliction of legal penalties for they re-
gard all such punishment as persecution, and
it intensifes their fanaticism by flateIing their
vanity with the idea of martyrdom.
The difficulty Of the situation is further in
creased by the impossibility of proving that in
a given instance the recovery of the patient
would have been assured by the calling in Of
regular physician. OF course, no reputable
doctor would venture to affirm positively that
he could have prevented death in any case.
for medicine is very far from being an exact
science, and the cynic who defined it as " the
business of putting into a body of which they
know little drugs of which they know less
was not so extravagant caricaturist as some
innocent believers in the infallbility of the
doctor of the period may imagine. Meantime
the so-called Christian Scence' appears to
be doing a good deal of mischief. That it re-
suits in occasional deaths is not necessarily an
impeachment of it, for were that so all systems
of medicine would stand condemned. But the
vice of Christian Science" practically is that
it prohibits all therapeutic experiments, and
throws everything upon the imagination which
is not educated to the performance of such
work. In a word, these fanatics are playing
with fire, and with the carelessness and au-
dacity Of children. Just how to check them
without forging a two-edged weapon, which
might subsequently be made use Of to the
injury of scientific medicine, is, however, a
problem not to be lightly dealt with

TODAY AT SARATOGA.

The Republican State Convention which
comes together to-day will be representative
body in the best sense of the term. Composed
of III delegates, most of whom are sagacious
and experienced members of the party, it can
not fail to reflect the wishes Of those for whom
it will act The Republicans believe with
Solomon that in a multitude Of councillors
there is wisdom. The Democrats evidently
hold otherwise, for their State Convention
which meets next week will have only 3o4
delegates.
A number of excellent names have been sug-
gested at Saratoga in connection with the oihces
which are to be filled. The convention, OF
course, must apply the rule Of the survival OF
the fittest and go ahead. But this will not
be an easy task. In selecting nominees
for State Offices the Republicans Of New
York commonly suffer from an embarrassment
of riches. For each one of the six places on
the ticket which is to be named to-day 1t Is
easy to think on the instant of scores OF he
pubhcans fitted alike by character, capacity
and training to fill it. AS a result OF its
deliberations the convention, which meets IN
the interest of no faction or boss, can be de-
pended upon to present to the people candidates
worthy of the support of voters who desire TO
promote the public welfare. 1t is equally
clear from our dispatches from Saratoga that
the delegates are impressed with the impor-
lance of adopting platform which will be an
erdtome of advanced and advancing Repub-
licanism They evidently realize, as sensible
men, that 1t would be serious mistake from
every point of view to hedge or to stIaddle on
any of the issues which will enter into the
campaign. Cowardice is seldom winning
card in American politics. 1t is specially i'm
portant that the resolutions of the platform
relating to high license, to ballot reform and
to Civil Service reform should surrender no
ground which has been gained, and should
commit the party faithfully to carrying out
the policy touching all three which it has been
pursuing. A ong and uneXreptiOnable ticket
has more than once been beaten by the weak
and equivocal platform upon which it was
placed. Give us platform worthy of the
candidates who will be called to make their
canvass upon it.
The convention is charged with the per-
Torrance of grave duties. It's deliberations
will be followed not only by New-York Re-
publicans, but by the members of the party
the country over, who never lose sight of the
fact that this is the pivotal State. Let all the
delegates remember this and govern them
selves accordingly. If the convention is wise
at all points the Republican campaign will open
full Of hope.

This phenomenal season has not been kind
TO autumnal vacation seekers. The news from
the White Mountains is particularly dlshearten-
ing For two weeks the Great Stone Face has
been hidden from the sight Of would-be observers
in the valley over which it has so long held
irresistible sway, and snow to the depth OF
eighteen inches has now fallen on Mount Wash
ington. 1t caused so efectual blockade on
the railway that climbs the steep mountain side
that the running of trains had to be given up
until the track was shoveled clear. Visitors
TO the mountain now can get an idea of the
appearance il presented to the Signal Service
observers who for sixteen years remained there
throughout the winter Though they would
seem to have been utterly isolated from the
world except by the wire which told the inhabl-
rants nearly n mile beneath them of the results
of their lonely vigil, they were not so IN realty
Letters and other mail matter were brought TO
them once fortnight, and occasionally, when
they felt like having some exercise out OF the
ordinary they could enjoy the pleasure OF a
snow tramp down the mountain to Fabyans
and back. Winter life on Mount Washington, as
they describe it, is not a dreary monotone, but
has MANY elements of eXhilaration. Nevertheless
that SPOT is not likely to become over-p0pular
ne a resort after the snow flies. However, In
snite of eighteen inches of snow now, OCTOBER
ought to yield some rare days up there, with
an atmosphere of such crystalline clearnesS as
only frosty weather can produce.

girls born, but football soon makes the matter
even But we digress-the football season for $50
is open, and there are piles of twenty-five young
men stacked up all the country. and naturally
there are three or four at the bottom OF each
heap, who are having pretty hard time.
1t is related that few years ago young man
was one evening found in the outskirts OF
small New.England town in an insensibe ana
highly demoralized condition. He was gathered
up and taken TO the nearest drugstore, and sew
eral physicians SUNNI oned. The first who arrived
looked him over carefully, and In reply to the
inquiries Of bystanders as to the probable cause
OF the strangers condition, said he judged
he had been attacked by footpads. eight
or nine OF them, at least, all armed.
Another doctor came in, and after
making an examination said the patient had un-
doubtedly been struck by the 1920 through ex-
press, and that 1t must have been behind time
and running faster than usual Still another
medical man dropped in, and after looking over
the unfortunate for a few minutes. glanced up and
laconically murmured, dynamite" little later,
restoratives having in the meantime been freely
administered, the young man opened his eyes, and
explained that he had been engaged in a friendly
game of college football. Astonishment being ex-

seemed that reports of football games should
be printed under the head Of casualties"
rather than under that Of sport )-the first,
we believe is from Yale. The game appears to
have been quiet, and was in reality only a
practice game to discover which were the best
players that, all were Yale men, and there
nothing at stake, naturally little excitemen Mt
or fine playing called out Casually, toward
the end Of the dispatch, it is mentioned that
three men were carried off the field and several
others were quite badly hurt 1t will be OBJ
served that accurate count was kept Of those
who were carried away in ambulances, but no
particular attention given to the number that
crawled away on their hands and knees and it
is vaguely given as several. Harvey con-
tinues the account, halfback of the University
eleven, was carried from the field suffering great
pain with a severely sprained ankle. This will

think that Harvey was crippled worse than the
eleven, but gather that it is not so considered
The football season is here and will stay till
winter puts stop to the bloodshed. Baseball,
vigorous and exciting as it is, seldom brings in
juries to its players Polo, cricket and lawn
tennis are not often responsible for serious ac-

il shall not count its victims by elevens?
Football is healthful, invigorating sport, call
ing into play every muscle in the body-why
cannot it be played so as not to break every
bone in the bodyp

These are dreadful things which the English
papers report about the behavior OF some OF the
English wnrships during the recent squadron ma
neouvres 1t has been the boast of the English
you-lnow class that nothing could approach the
British Navy in the matter OF perfection but II
all that has been said Of the deficiencies OF these
vessels and not in engine-power and speed only,
be true, then the Board OF Admiralty may be
expccted to institute court Of inquiry at once In
order that the mistakes may not be repeated In
the seventy new vessels recently authorized. For
instance, tie English newspapers note that the
armored cruiser Aurora was only kept ahoat by
incessant bahng and pumping and that large
number of leaks were found, attributable to lmper-
feet r1vetng Another defect noticed was the burst
ing of one of the 3s-ton muzzle-loaders OF the
Ajax. AS the accident was said to have been
caused by she'll exploding in the piece not only
NAV the gun be said TO have been weak, but the
shell had too sensitive fuse-a proof OF careless
ness. 1t is also reported that the Hero and her
sister, the Conc are lawful brutes' In a
seaway; that, because of being short and top
heavy they roll so excessively that their gun
platforms are useless at sea, and the foul air
between decks makes the crew sick.
