MEDICAL MAN cRlTlciSEs CON.
DUCT OF WAR.
PRESIDENT REEDS ADDRESS
at a Banquet of the
Profession.

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 10.-Dr. Charles
A. L. Reed of Cincinnati, the retiring
president Of the American Medical
association, was given a banquet here
tonight by the medical profession of
northern Ohio. In the of his
remarks On pending congressional
topics, viewed from a medical stand
point, he said: 1T seems from the
evidence that has recently come from
within the army itself, that the medi-
cal department has not only been de-
graded, but. that it is practically with
out authority. This was strikingly,
indeed, tragically illustrated during
the recent war. A c~ommandant was
in charge of a quarter Of the entire
army. His command was made up OF
the flower of American manhood, and
was encamped at a health resort. He,
however, in violation of the precedent
of the usually cultivated and compel
ent gentlemen Of the line, but acting
under the permission of existing army
regulations not only set aside ecom
mendations of his sanitary officers, but
by personal example melted his men
to violate the most fundamental san
itary laws. The result was what
might have been expected. OF the
more than $4,000 men in his command
1000 were invaded, while nearly a
thousand died from preventable
causes. If in an active military opera
ton the commandant had ignored the
advice of his scouts and had led his
command into ambush with similarly
disastrous results, 1000 wounded and
1000 dead, he would have been court
martialed and doubtless dismissed
from the service. The regulations,
however, I am advised, fix no RESPONSE
bility for this parallel calamity the
enormity of which only now is begin
ming to be understood. 1t is not sur
prising that efforts have been made
to suppress knowledge of it.

Easy Crime In New York.

The greatest marvel among the many
curiosities of crime is the case with
which the bold rogue can usually &C.
complish the undoing of his honest VIC
tim. One reasoning a priOri would as
sumo that the confidence man or the
blackmailer must needs be extremely
ingenious, and that to make his ne
farious industry pay he must constant
ly keep his wits at work to devise new
and plausible means to deceive. Not
so. The rogue has learned from ex-
perience that anything original and
outside the strictly commonplace in
crime would excite suspicion by rea-
son of it's novelty. Perhaps it Is for
this reason that nothing in the 'swind-
ling line has been invented since the
beginning of written history. We have
an occasional renaissance-ab once
in five years, the police say-and some
trick so old as to have been forgotten
comes to the front and does duty as a
brilliant novelty; but the working of 1t
demands genius, and the main de-
pendence of the crook of ordinary tai
ent is the tricks which everybody
knows, but somehow fails to recognize
when they are worked on him.

THEY PUZZLE THE MEDICS.
Can Neither Diagnose Nor
Cure.

When Solomon declared that there
is nothing new under the sun the
art of the physician was yet in its
infancy. All practitioners of the
present day bear testimony to the
fact that new diseases of the human
system are constantly developing and
of necessity they require new modes
of treatment. says a London paper.
One disease which the doctors are
trying to find out about, with very
little success, is beri-beri, which
seems TO be identical with the 'sleep-
ing sickness of the west coast of
Africa. The attention which the
medical profession has paid recent
~ to eastern and tropical diseases
has brought beri-beri to the fore,
whereas little scientific attention
used to be paid to it. Negroes are
peculiarly susceptible to the disease,
and on the west coast of Africa
whole villages of natives have been
known to lie down and sleep them
selves to death. Some time ago there
was an outbreak of this disease in
lunatic asylum in Dublin, and several
patients slept TO death. How this
malady, supposed to be peculiar to
the tropics and the far east, came
to appear in Dublin is a mysctery.
Recently the Norwegian bark Taurus
put into Falmouth, England, having
had seven cases and forI deaths from
beri-beri on her way from Jackson
to appear in Dublin is a mystery.
for the disease is unknown in Florida.
English ard American soldiers serv-
ing in the far east rarely suffer from
heri-beri, but French and Spanish
garrisons are greatly subject to it.
A couple of years ago out of gar
rison of $50 at post in French
Tonquin so died from beri-beri.
As If the doctors were not both
cred enough with the old diseases,
new one has appeared in Sardinia
and Sicily. The doctors in these
Mediterranean islands recently no.
ticed that many of the peasants
showed symptoms of poisoning from
eating beans. They developed Curl
Gus symptoms and all of them were
overcome with a drowsy stupor. In
some cases those predisposed to the
disease have been seen to fall uncon-
scious simply from inhaling the scent
of bean field in flower. Yet to the
average person. there is nothing poi
sonous about beans. Horrible

A Long Felt Want Happily FILLED

For long time it has been the COM
planning cry OF the citizens aud visit
0Is OF Vinita that they have no place
to 20 and enjoy an evenings amuse-
rent. At last their cry has been
answered by the energy and fore
thought OF the genial manager Of the
Opera House, as he has succeeded in
booking the great Gardner Concert
Co.. which will open its engagement
Thursday, December IL. The price
OF admission has been placed within
the reach OF all, being only 10 and 20
cents. From the reports OF press aud
public, who speak very highly OF this
company OF funmakers, ali who attend
their entertainments will have "A

thought Suppose this new disease
should spread to Boston.
Another disease which puzzles doc
tors is that form of idiocy known as
cretinism. Why does it exist only
in certain districts? 1t has been said
that it is epidemic only in limestone
regions, yet there are plenty of
places where the rock is of this char
acter and yet the disease is unknown.
For instance, it is very rare in Eng
land, where there is plenty of mag
nesium limestone, and prevalent in
similar districts in France. 1t gen.
orally is put down as being peculiar
to mountain districts, yet on the is

man with headquarters at New York.
Charles Steel of the firm of ]. P. Nor

in place of the late Aldace Walker. He
was also placed on the executive COM
mittee of the road.

was chosen to fill it. j. w. Kendrick was

ate:
1.-The election of Mr. Steel means that
in the future Mr. Morgan is to be one of
the ruling factors in that company. 1t
also brings to light some exceedingly in
teresting facts in regard to the Western
railroad situation which thus far have
been kept secret. Nobody supposed that
Mr.. Morgan wanted to get foothold in
the Atchison. but it has been known for
some time that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road had bought large block, and would
in due time be given representation in
the Board of Directors. A representa-

Most cf the Pennsylvania purchases of
Atchison were made months ago at ma
terially lower prices than prevail to-
day. The Burlington incident and North
ern Pacific corner however, brought
great financial powers into opposition and
changed the program which had been out
lined only short time before With the
possibility that the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific might be used to the
great disadvantage OF some of the Eastern
railroads, such as the Pennsylvania,
Vanderbilt and Southern railway systems,
it became essential that sufficient in
terest in the Atchison should be acquired
to enable Messrs. Morgan, Cassatt and
their associates to reach far Western
points. which are not accessible by the
Northern trans continental lines.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Congressman Taylor Holds Trusts Are Not
Fostered by the Dingley Law,
CBv the Associated Press

Washington, June 6.-The Industrial
Commission at it's session today consid
cred the tariff question, with incidental
reference to trusts, the witnesses being
Congressman Robert w. Tayler, of Ohio,
and DR. George Gunton, president of the
New York Institute of Social Economics.
Mr.. Tayler took the position that any
discussion in Congress of the tariff at this
time would have a damaging effect on the
country. He said the Dingley law was
the most equitable tariff law the United
States had ever had He took a decided
position against the trusts and said that
they are not fostered by the protective
tariff Mr.. Tayler also said that he be-
Iieve in the principle of reciprocity, but
that he did not endorse any of the re-
Gently negotiated reciprocity treaties.
DR.. Gunton devoted himself especially
to replying to an argument recently made
before the commission by Mr.. Edward At
kinson for freer trade. DR.. Gunton said
that the freedom contended for by the
opponents of the tariff is analogous to the
freedom of the savage, a freedom which
if INDUCED in too freely not only brings
injury to others, but ruin to himself.

We Have Not Yet Voted on
Imperialism.
It Takes More Than Five Supreme Court Judges
TO AnnuI the Constitution Of the
United States.
(By the Associated Press.)

Kansas City, Mo-, June 5.-Wiliiam j..
Bryan addressed the Jackson County
Democratic Club tonight, taking for his
subject "The Outlook The auditorium,
holding $500. was not large enough to
meet the demands of the occasion. In
part Mr.. BRYAN said:
Two things which we must ever adj
vocate are organization and principles
A minority well organized is more eff
fective than a majority unorganized
We were well organized in 1896 and had
the confidence of our supporters. l be-
lieve that our stand in 1886 saved the
Democratic party from absolute annihi-
lation. We were organized in 1900 and
our supporters believed us to be hon
est. There were men, purporting to be
Democrats, who did not support us dur
ing those two campaigns. Now these
men are suggesting a reorganization.
Some of you may think that l am not
liberal in my views on the subject of
reorganization. / believe that we must
have principles and adhere to them.
eff the Supreme Court decision on
our insular possessions, by which nine
men, by a majority of one, decided to
convert this Republic into an empire,
had been given before election, the re-
suit would be different. The American
people have not yet voted on imperial
ism.
"The decision of the Supreme Court
does not settle the question As Abra-
ham Lincoln said of the decision in the
bred Scotto case, That decision was
law in that case. 1t take more than
five Supreme Court judges to annul the
Constitution of the United States. My
objection to that decision is that you
cannot carry out the logic of it without
destroying the liberties of the peoples
affected by it, Justice Brown says that
the Porto Ricans can trust Congress
We would not like to trust Congress
without our Constitution. / do not OBJ
iect to Imperialism because an emperor
is necessarily bad, but because he de-
MES the people their only source of
power.
THE decision of the Supreme Court
at Constitution liberty. Justice Brown
says that perhaps the Porto Ricans will
have liberty of speech, liberty of the
press and other liberties that we enjoy.
