WHY CONGRESS SHOULD AID
JOURN.

From all over the country comes
news of the excessively hot weather
and how men and women are being
comes that the president purposes to
ask congress to legislate upon the cur
rency question to the extent of author
izing the appointment of a commits
sion. That would mean the opening
of the question. and no one would be
able to tell where or when it would
close.
Washington is an insufferably hot
place in summer and it is anything
but pleasant place to be when the
mercury in the thermometer is run
ming up and down the nineties. And
at such times it is almost an impossi-
bility for members of congress to
work, and the work they do is not
likely to be satisfactory TO themselves
nor the country. Already they have
been in attendance on the extra ses-
sion for four months and they have
been diligent in the performance of
their duties; they are tired and worn
out, and anxious to get away for rest
and recuperation before the regular
session begins in December. They
should not be asked to prolong their
labors. Then, again. the country
would prefer to let the new tariff bill
start on its trial unencumbered by
other legislation. There is no popular
demand for further legislation by con-
gress at the present: on the contrary,
the people would prefer to see it adj
journ. That is what it should do so
soon as the tariff bill becomes law,
and the president should ask nothing
further OF congress at this time.

ganize.
A committee from the Olympic Club,
consisting of Howard Taylor, J. P. Kelly,
Percy Morse and Douglas White, was
appointed 10 confer with the directors OF
the Acme Athletic Club. with the object
OF forming Pacific Coast Amateur Ath-
letic Association. The Olympic Club re.
ceived a notification from ]. P. Cook, the
secretary of the Acme Club, that his club
has Withdrawn from the Pacific Athletic
Association and that the officers will do
all in their power to aid the Olymp pics in
organizing an association which will for
muiate its own laws and regulations. II
is thought that the Stanford and Berkeley
colleges will also join hands with the
Olympics.
On Saturday afternoon an inter-col.
Iegiate field day will be held at the Olym-
pic grounds, but the bicycle races will take
place at the Velodrome track. The points
which count are for first 2 for second
and 1 for third. Judging from the per-
formances OF the athletes on both sides of
the water, the contests should be close,
although it is whispered that the Stanford
athletes will win majority of the track
events, and that the field events will be
warmly contested. The University of
California faculty athletic committee de-
cided the question of points which the
Berkeley athletes objected to at first.

DOCTORS TALK ANO DINE,
Interesting Proceedings at Yes.
.terday's Sessions of the
Medical Society.
Technical Papers FollGwei by a Ban
quet at the Palace
Hotel.

Yesterday was the last session but
one of the Medical Society OF California.
The proceedings were quite technical
throug hout, but some of the business re-
lated to the society itself.
There was a proposition to amend the
constitution by reducing the annual dues
from S. to SO and to do away with tine in
itiatiou fee of ST. When President Glib
bons placed the proposition before the
convention yesterday morning DR.. r. IL.
Plummer asked that the amendment
might be divided in order that the two
propositions which it contained might be
voted on separately. He was one of the
committee on increase OF membership
which had reported the amendent, but
this was done, he explained, in Difference
to requests received from a number oi
members of the society and not because
the committee really favored the proposed
reduction in the annual dues. On the
proposition TO abolish the initiation fees,
however. he thought there would be little
op position manifested.
The amendment was divided, as DR..
Plummer had asked, and the proposition
to reduce the annual dues was defeated by
unanimous vote. The motion to abolish
tQ6 lultldLlOu lee was CaTEAcu, only one
me ember opposing.
During the morning DR.. Granville Nc.
Gowan Of Los Angeles read an interesting e
paper on the value OF Forts Method oil
Electrolysis" in certain cases, also e1hib
iring q few instruments for the application
of process.
There were several other papers on the
morning progranme: among them "Prac-
tical Value of the Study of Blood" bv
DR.. j. A. Sanderson of ST. Helena; "A
Brief Summary of the meteorological
Work in the Laboratory Of the Health
Office" by John G. Spencer of this CITY
"a Case of Extensive Leucoplasia of the
Mouth, Eventualing in Epithelioma OF
the Cheek" by DIS. D. w. Montgomery
and FL. M. Sherman of San Francisco.
The afternoon was devoted largely to a
discussion of diseases OF children. The
following additional programme consti.
tuted the afternoon work:
Some Unusual Forms of Laryngeal Paraly-
sis' by J. Dennis Arnold, San Francisco, dis
cussion opened by George H.: Powers, San
by S. Trssk, San Francisco; "Microbes in Sup
puration of the Middle Ear" by George w.

bri and Meningocele from Neurological
Standpoint, with report OF the successful re-
moval of a meningocele from the nasal cavi-
ties of man aged 80 years." by 81. c. O'Toole,
San Francisco.
The doctors Of San Francisco banqueted
the visitors in elegant style at the Palace
Hotel last night. There were 200 plates,
and the discussion of the menu and toast
ing lasted until a late hour.
The concluding business of the session
will be finished at Golden Gate Hall to-
morrow morning. after which the conven-
ton will adjourn until next year to Fresno.
