not oniv laughed ard sad we would never

Heans of Tacoma even supporting the

der that the canal might not appear TO

this Kindness. Seattle did what she could
to sssis, IN opening The Puyailup reserva-
ton. and during both Northwest fairs her
cgtlzens turned out in a body. and. II we
recoilect rightly. made the Seattle days
the most successful OF the expeditions
II Is generally conceded that fairs are
good things FOR the community. Whether
they be of the somewhat unpreteatIous
county order or OF the scope and magnih-
cenee OF such as was held In Chicago IN
fse2 The question naturally arising in re-
gard 70 the Tacoma proposition IS as TO
whether Il is TO be Tacoma exposition or
more in the nature OF state affair. From
the tenor OF the remarks made al the
meeting in Tacoma 1t Is dlficult 70 deter
mine Just exactly what the exposition
would be in character and pretensions.
Mr.. r. G. Hudson said the time was op-
perfume for fair because Of the rapid in
crease Of Tacoma's Oriental traffic and the
fact that Tacoma was rising out Of the de-
preston OF the past two years. stronger
and more vigorous than ever. Mr.. Frank
z. Woodruff also believed il was Tacoma's
opportunity. and Prof. Barlow predicted
that the splendid advertisement Tacoma
received through the local fairs Of 1891 and
1899 would be repeated many fold by the
proposed exposition. Mr. p. y. Norton
thought IL Tacoma was going TO have
population OF 10000 in 1900 the fair might
be one thing that would bring the people
cut there and increase business. From the
remarks OF Mr. Haywood. already quoted.
1t would seem that he too. regards 1t as
sort OF local improvement"
On the other hand. Col. Snowden, Of the
Ledger. suggested that the enterprise was
a state rather than local affair. From
The remarks of others in favor Of asking
for a congressional appropriation. it might
be inferred that they regard II in the ma
ture OF Northwest proposition. II it is
10 be a Tacoma affair. no doubt the peo-
pie OF Seattle will lend as cheerful and sub
stantial cooperation 10 make IL a success.
as they have in the past. II it is TO be a
state enterprise, with the asking OF gov
eminent aid and possibly state legislative
Endorsement and assistance, perhaps IL
might be just as well 10 postpone making
active preparations until the people of the
state could decide just where the best
place would be for holding the exposition.

KILLING NO MURDER.

AZ the recent convention Of doctors in
New York. Albert Bach. vice president Of
the Medico-Legal Society. made the re-
mark that "a man has the same right 70
kin himself as physician has to admin
lister drugs TO end the agony OF patient,
and I may add that I know that physi-
clans do so end life" The last part of this
statement has created considerable discus
sion. and strong denials are made OF what
IS called this cruel" charge.
The probability is that it is rather SEN
sational statement, and. while there may
have been isolated cases. the profession is
entitled TO the confidence OF the people in
the assurance that no reputable physician
would be guilty OF what would generally
be regarded with horror.
Nevertheless, IL must try the nerve OF
sympathetic physician 10 stand helplessly
by the bedside OF A mangied patient. and
let him wrestle with an agoniz:ng death.
deaf to his appeals to be put out OF his
misery That physicians once considered
II solemn and humane duty to terminate
the misery OF a lingering death is true.
But the effect OF this Interpretation OF the
code OF ethics was to leave open loopholes
for INSCRIPTIONS practitioners. and for
many years IL has been part Of the I'M
written law, as we'll as OF the statutes,
that no physician is justified, any more
than a layman, in interfering with the
work OF death. cruel as that might seem.
The discovery and use of anesthetics have
rendered the duty of the physician less
difficult. but most of them at some time in
their practice have felt that it would be
kindness to hasten the inevitable.
Most people will be inclined, however. 10
dispute the right OF a physician to so
end life, even in the exercise Of a sound
discretion and with solemn sense of the
fearful moral responsibility ii involves.
Whether a man has the right to take
his own life does not seem to belong to the
same line of reasoning.
