The Advantage of Association

Instead of each man making his own
shoes hats and coats, and producing his
own food and providing for shelter, it is
found much better for one man to devote
his entire attention to- making shoes,
another to making hats, others to max
ing clothing farming. building houses,
etc, and each exchanging his product for
what he needs of the product of others.
This principle of division of labor is the
chief difference between savage life and
civilization. This principle permits GER
tain individuals to devote themselves to
the healing art.
This division has led to another step
the association of those devoting them
selves To the same line, for mutual help
and benefit. For example, the science Of
medicine as we have II to-day, is the re
suit of thousands of co-workcI-s for ages
past. In early times they did not asso
ciatc very freely, medical books were few
and the medical magazines had not made
liSih an tllNSc ltDt.tllS anu
and methods of association have grown
wonderfully in the last half century,
with the best possible results To- the
science of medicine; and consequently 10
the people whom it serves
These thoughts are suggested by the
coming meeting of the Americas Medi-
cal Association in Denver on The 18th ol
June; Also by the fact that MAY is the
month IN which more state medical SO
cietics meet than any other month in the
year.
There is something sublime IN he meet
ing of men for the up-building of the
science of medicine, by the mutual en-
change of thought and experiences. No
private proprietorship is sought nor de
sired. Each gives freely and is free to
most distinguished; hence the competition
is not to get the most, but to give the
most. How different from the CONNER

the bravest and most sacrificing are

so. But in the commercial world il is the
most selfish and avarcious who are the

in standard? Cannot c,,mmcrciaIism be
lifted to higher level? If millionaire
ism were looked down upon as 'piggish
gifted, active and enterprisilg men would
not become less active and entcrprising
but they would find nobler objects foI

Let us corner up the sunbeams,
Lying all around our path;
Get a trust ON wheat and roses,
Give the poor the thorns and chat.
Let us find our chiefest pleasure
boarding bounties of the day.
So the poor will have scant measure.
And two prices have to pay.
Yes, well reservoir the rivers,
And Wen levy on the lakes.
And well lay a trifling poll tax
On each poor man that partakes.
Wen brand his number on him,
That he'll carry through his life
Wen apprentice all his children
Get a mortgage on his wife
Well capture cen the wind god,
And coniine him in acavc;
Then, through our patent process,
We the atmosphere will save.
Thus well squeeze our little brother
When he tries his lungs to fill;
Put a meter on his windpipe
And present our little bill.
We will syndicate the starlight
And monopolize the moon,
Claim royalty on rest days,
A proprietary noon,
For right of way through ocean spray.
Wen charge just what its worth.
In fact, well own the earth.

THE ATHENS DISP PENS4RY.

The Athens (Georgia) liquor dispen- sary has come into notice, and it seems to be worth noticing as an interesting and apparently successful experiment in managing the liquor traffic. The system is an application of the Nor wegian system. It is under control of the Christian people of the community, who are anxious to confine the liquor traffic to the narrowest possible limits, where it will do the least possible harm. No one in it's management has any money invested or is in any way inter- ested in the profits of the business. The commissioners and managers receive fixed salaries, paid out of the city treasury and dependent in no wise upon the profits or losses of the busi- ness. These salaries are not increased by large sales or diminished by small sales. It is not to the interest of any individual to enlarge the business. The managers of the dispensary are officers of the city of Athens appointed by law to take liquors the city buys as police regulation, put them in sealed pack ages, deliver them at a price fixed by law to parties authorized by law to receive them and to turn over to the city each day all moneys received by them. The liquors are analysed by competent chemist, are sold in sealed packages and cannot be opened on the premises. The dispensary is closed on Sundays. on all legal holidays, at night and whenever there is crowd in town. All sales are for cash; no man can get credit there
 In favor of this system it is said that the records of the city show that there was a great deal of disorder traceable to drunkenness in the last four years of the bar-room regime. The same records show that in the last four years of prohibition there were more cases of disorder traceable to whisky than dur ing the corresponding four years of | bar-room rule. The same records show that since the dispensary was estab- lished there has been less of such dis order than in the same number of years in any other period of the city's his tory.

"THE TRUCE OF THE BEAR, J


 It is asserted that the Czars peace proposal was the result of the argu- ments of Bliokh, a Warsaw financier, whose book has just been published in St. Petersburg. The work is an ency- clopedia of facts relating to war and it's sinews. The argument, in brief, is that European armies have outgrown practicable limits. To provision and supply with war material the existing armies of the continent is impossible for any protracted campaign. The management of the armies of Russia, Germany and France is beyond the powers of any strategist. Beyond certain point numbers are useless. In any case the present relative strength of the powers is permanent; the rela- tive strength of each would be the same if divided by five, or any other number. As the burden of expense of the present large armies is ruinous to taxpayers, there is practical reason, M. Bliokh argues, for a reduction all round. Without relief an economic catastrophe is inevitable. The writer comedies that disarmament-which is meant to be only partial-would not in- sure peace. To insure it peace league is wanted, which will recognize the status quo and establish an interna- tional arbitration court. If any state failed to submit to the award of this court, the other states would deprive it of postal, telegraphic and commercial facilities and give aid to the defendant nation. A press censorship would also be established to check the yellow" press, which is recognized as the great inciter to war at the present time. An international press censor would define the limits of criticism in respect to the awards of the arbitration court. It is years Russia will have population of 3O00OO,OOO; Germany, SO,000,000; France, SC. .0O0, ,o00; so that Russia's wishes will become laws for the rest without ques- tion.
 Rudyard Kipling has been blamed for seeing in ''the truce of the Bear plan of conquest, but MT. Bliokh also thinks +bo+ ,,ao oa 1yo1,ld uorlr well for RIcsia as her population increases.

and physical systems, being insensible

 and physical systems, being insensible to usual and common impressions, crave for the stimulant of an excite ment still more painful For this req son their games present, in an exag- gerated degree, the cruel character which we have been showing as exist ing among animals, savages and chil- dren, who enjoy tormenting animals and those weaker than themselves. If criminals, therefore, choose cruel ty as the elective form of their activity, it is because it corresponds with the se- cret intimate psychological nature which rebels against all progress and against moral sentiment. This man. ner of acting has the satisfaction of giving to each organism the exercise of the particular function which is indi- vidually his.

TnOMAs R. rROWnRIpGE.

The death of Thomas R. Trowbridge removes one of New Haven's most solid and respected citizens. MT Trowbrldge was a man of sturdy quail ity, firm principles, and unbending in- tegrity. He was deeply interested in all that concerned New Haven, and was ever ready to encourage and support action for the benefit of his beloved city. He was conspicuous and useful in public affairs, and did well whatever public duties were laid upon him. He figured largely in the business affairs of the city and always with honor and success. He was a careful and search ing student of the history of this re- zion, and his publications on historical and antiquarian subjects were interest ing and valuable. He was faithful to his church and social duties, and in all ways merited the esteem and apprecia- tion bestowed upon him by his fellow citizens. His death will be long and deeply mourned.

SAD UORDs.

"Of all sad words of tongue or pen the saddest are these; It might have been." So said the poet about love affair, but the saddest words can be said about other things. Congressman Boutelle said them in his remarkable speech at Boston when he declared his belief that if the public press of the United States in it's entirety had been animated by and had expressed throughout the initiatory periods of the controversy a calm, sincere, truthful and wisely patriotic disposition, but tressing itself against the great doc Urine that all controversies, where it is possible, should be arbitrated peacefully rather than settled by the brutal strug gle of arms: if the congress of the United States had stood there one-third as firmly for a peaceful adjustment as it did stubbornly throw out a large DOT tion of it's membership in favor of the more inflammatory methods, President Mckinley would have settled every just controversy that we had with Spain in regard to the island of Cuba on lines that would have guaranteed and en- forced everything that the government of the United States is called upon to enforce, or ought to enforce, in regard to humanity, public and private rights, and stable government in that island without the sacrifice of drop of Amer ican or Spanish blood.
 We'll, it is too late now. We have had our war, and we have paid large price for what we have gained But what pity that a part of the press was so yellow, that congressman were so weak and that the President felt himself so driven.
