THE COUNTRY TO THE RESCUE


From the New York sun
There is time now to consider tho remarkable
sequence OF the assault upon the president and
see why his life was preserved On the instant
Of the deed there advanced To the front the spirit
Of promptitude in action that whricd the strick.
en- man to the place where he could he treated
best. \ hospital properly equipped for all Cmer'
gcncicS was near. An ambulance wds at hand
And there, too, was the surgeon Who on the mo-
mcnt knew what 10 do Scarcely fifteen minutes
elapsed between the injury and the beginning Of
the operation.
Two special dangers follow bullet wounds in
the abdomen; hcmorrhagc, and outflow of the
contents Of the abdominal regions into the gem
cral pcritonch cavity So minutes are al-im'
portdnt. But there were men standing by who
were equal to the occasion.
All plcrcdcnts in tho treatment Of illustriouS
patients were thrown 90 the winds There was
not the waste Of moment, no summoninG OF a
council, no waiting for moral support, no d,V''
sion of responsibility. The operation upon the
president was essentially the act of an indi'
yidud who dared and did, and his deed was
splendid in its daring and mastery in its eXecu'
tion.
Too much credit cannot be given to the opera
tor. Dr. Mann, to the medical director of the
fair for the perfection of his provision against
accidents. And no small number of abb" men,
some Of the very highest professional cmncnce,
were there 10 advise. But apart from tndl' th'Ee

ion, subject as are all such opinions,
TO circumstantial bias. What there
can be no doubt of is that Schlcy had
a right to challenge If he elected to
usc 1t; and that having So elected, II
was wise tO excuse the challenged
Judge from service in the case. such
excuse does not in any way reflect upon
Admiral HowisOn. Ills character for
honor amt integrity as well as his
reputation for high professional abil-
tiy and a keen regard for the honor OF
the navy are both too firmly cstab-
lishcd to be affected by Il challenge
made and sustained under these cir
,umstances. The reason why he was
excused is not that he Is uniit or
in any way disqualified to s"rve, but
that his retention on the bench. after
Schlcy had challenged, would play into
the evident purpose of Schlcy's friends
To cry unfairncss at the court II It's
decision shall displcasc them.
Let Schlcy have all the leeway he
wants. The more latitude he gets the
more certain will be the final clear
ing up of the whole matter.
