Still Harping on my Daughter

Among the Senate bd's passed by
the House on Thursday last week
was the one to allow the voters OF
Cecil county to vote on the local
option question and TO provide for
the subm' ssion of the license law a,
the next and every succeeding general
election.
Where is the use of this patch on
the Law? The right TO vote on the
question next fall vas q part of the
law already On the statute books.
The object OF this proviso is to have
an opportunity to blackmail the rum
association at every county election
for funds tpr eiectioneering purposes.
Good Lord, send us the referendum
that the people may knock on the
mead al such laws.

COURAGE IN SURGERY.

Why Experienced Practitioners Are Cool
While Performing Operations.
An old surgeon, engaged for the
moment in dissecting cold roast
quail, and making, it must be con-
fessed, only an Indifferent job of it,
had been listening incidentally to
the conversation of his table com
panions, who We're discussing the
calmness and nerve displayed by the
average practitioner during surgical
operations. Both agreed that the
poise and GOODNESS shown by surgeons
at such times We're extraordinary
and hard to understand.
Now, friends, if you will permit
me, interrupted the surgeon at this
point, 81 would like to tell you that
there is nothing extraordinary about
it. The nerve as you call it, of the
surgeon unler such circumstances is
the most natural thing in the world.
1t is not a display of calmness which
has been put on for the occasion,
or an exhibition of courage summoned
up for an unusual emergency, but SIM
ply the normal demeanor of practical,
he has to do and how he is going to
do it.
THE trouble with many people who
marvel at what they call a surgeons
courage is that they fail utterly to com
prehend the conditions under which he
performs his work. They imagine
that he is experimenting, or that he
doesn't know his ground, or that he
will cut something that he ought not
to cut. Nothing could be further from
the facts No movements in science or
mechanics is preceded by more accu-
rate forellnowledge of its results than
the average operation in surgery.
There is no such thing as guessworl1
about it. The operator knows ne is
performing an operation which is based
upon an exact science. He follows
rules which apply to all cases, and is
secure in the confidence that causes
which have produced certain effects in
given instances will do so in all others.
''Why, then, should there be any
need in his work for extraordinary
courage? There are cases, of course,
so critical or so unusual in character as
to excite even the calmest and most
self-contained operator, and when
these are under treatment the sur
geon's powers of self-control are fire.

TO the man who, in such case, can
WELD the knife without visible tre-
NOR when life itself depends upon the
accuracy and delicacy of his touch, we
must award the praise due to real be-
roes. But in the average case, say of
amputation or of skull fracture involv-
ing cranial operations, the surgeon
neither needs nor possesses more than
the courage of an intelligent, sincere
man who knows his duty and has
learned how to perform it. His tech
nical knowledge of anatomy and his
methodical habit of work accustom
him to conditions which alarm and ex-
cite professional minds, and he
goes about his task with certain
quiet, vigorous, assertiye confidence in
the result of his movements which the
observer is quite likely to mistake for
marvellous courage summoned up for
that particular occasion. 1t is courage

The mortgage takers have succeea

The mortgage takers have succeed
ed in putting a rider ON the assess,

cages. Taxing mortgages has an ir,
resistable ctarm for large number
of people If it could be done with
out hurting the under dog all well
and good but that is hardly possible
without exempting the land to the
value of the mortgage, and then there
would be but one assessment, on the
same property but the mortgagor
would pay the tax all the same. or the
man who held the money end would
foreclose and skip.
