as it may sound

nARADOXICAL as it may sound,
r it is true that specialists as a
i class are the most provincial
minded men in existence.
They have one rule to measure all phe-
nomena, and if sometimes the meas
urements are found to be erroneous
why, so much the worse for the object
measured. 1t is in the wrong. This
habit of mind is apparent in all hob
byists to a greater or less extent, but
in medical men it oftentimes amounts
almost to disease. | think it is Oil
yer Wendell Holmes who sdevotes an
interesting chapter to this. A woman
has a headache and consults an ocuiist
eyes diseased, he says; she sees a
specialist in obstetrics-an important
operation necessary; she describes her
trouble to lung specialist -incipient
phthisis; another says, possibly typhoid;
and so on until the end is reached. 1t
transpires that nothing more serious
than sour stomach is the trouble aft
er all. Specialists are familiar with
but one method of reasoning, which is
sound enough when the premise Is
correct, but is ridiculous when it is
false.
Of late years a new cult has made it's
appearance in the field of medicine
med;co-legal specialists. These gentle
men testify at criminal trials and give
their opinions on everything in the
world, the heavens above and the wa
ters under the earth. No two of them
ever publicly agree (they probably do
In private, however), and no poison
exists that they are not thoroughly
familiar with. They wear fur coats
and glasses and are very owI-Iike peo-
pie. When there is no criminal pro-
ceedlng in progress they occupy their
time writing pamphlets, which nobody
reads, and granting interviews on the
suppression of crime by means of the
surgeons knife to space writer's. Util-
ltarianism is their slogan. If man
or woman isn't useful according to
their ideas, put him or her out of the
way. Kill if necessary; exterminate'
the drones that are without money.
They can't explain how they know
they are right; they just know that
they can't be wrong. 1t is transcend
entail feeling that can't be put into
words. And because the newspapers
I'LL space with their ideas, the public at
large believes them to be great men.
For the public never thinks.
DR.. Charles Denison of Denver is
not yet a medico-legal specialist, but
is in a fair way to become one of that
esteemed body of human "gold bricks"
So far his chief bids for fame have
been galvanized rubber inhaler,
which makes the user smell like
gasoline automobile, a little book of
temperature records, and some rules of
marriage to be followed by people
with tendency toward tuberculosis.
But within the last month or two he
has leaped into the medico-legal field
with proposition to kill off imbeciles
at the expense of the state. He wishes
to give the legislature the power to.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Your slight hint
that the Socialist party might ifprop-
erly handled be the coming party of
the United States, strikes your hum
BILE subscriber as the thoughts Of one
who is surprised with the late vote
but not familiar with the Socialist
platform. Read their platform (for
we are charitable enough to believe
you havenD before you ask the par
ty which from its birth has been the
instigator of the best government on
the face of the earth, to adopt the
Socialist rag baby body and breeches.
No one is asked to follow the Repub-
lican party because it is old and
always been good, nor would we ex-
pect every one to find their babies
in the bull-rushes just because the
good man Moses was. But the Re-
publican party has always been in
touch with the people and wide
awake to the best interests of the
United States and does not need
hints from the disgruntled Kansas
City, New leland pamphlet writers.
One or two good things can be found
in all men If you look; so with plat
forms, but as whole the Socialist
platform is all "gallery bosh" and
only aimed at the unthinking, en-
vious American citizen. l doubt IL
the time is ripe for the government
to own every mans farm, hen-roost
and piggery, but will admit l think
it is for the ownership Of railroads
