WOMEN ARE POOR DOCTORS
Northwestern University Trustees
Make This Statement

Chicago, Jan. 4-The business agent
of Northwestern university is negotiat-
ing for the sale of the buildings and
grounds of the Women's College of
Medicine with a view to abandoning
that institution.
Trustee James H. Raymond said of
the abandonment of the college,:
1T is impossible to make doctor of
a woman. Women can not grasp the
chemist and pharmaceutical labora-
tory work, the intricacieS of surgery, or
the minute work of diSsecting. At our
women's medical depar tment we do not
get as high a class of scholarship as
is set by the other colleges in North
western university
Holmes Smith, DR.. Sarah Hackett Stew
enson and others were astonished at
the attitude of Trustee Raymond and
expressed themselves in vigorous
terms.
DR.. Smith said:
Il should like to refer him to several
women who have made names for
themselves as women physicians. For
Meigher, lately deceased, who was the
head of that institution. She was a
brilliant woman and far up in the pro-
fessiOn as no one will deny. Then there
is DR.. Sarah Hackett Stevenson here in
Chicago and many others in the public
eye whom I need not mention.
'"The trouble with that school was
that it did not have enough applica tionS
from women. Women who are serious
ly considering entering the procession
most often prefer to enter q co-educa-
tiona1 school that gives them the same
opportunities for gathering knowledge
and skill as the men have. Women like
to go to schools where they are respect
ed as entities-not as a rare half or as
a sex. l think that out in the west side
women's college enough recognition
was not given to graduates. I mean
that they were not placed on the facul-
ty when there were both reason and
opportunity"
DIR. Smith also said she thought the
training of students for missionary
doctors" did affect the institutions

RATHER CRISP AND CRUsTY
Interview Between Barber Asphalt
Attorney and Council.

There was a crisp and crusty inter-
view Friday at the meeting of the com
mittee on streets and walks between w.
E. Sterne, the local attorney for the
Barber Asphalt Paving company, and
the members of the committee.
Mr.. Sterne was invited to come before
the committee and tell the plans which
the Barber company has with reference
to the repairs which it has commenced
here and apparently abandoned.
When Mr.. Sterne entered the commit
tee room he was smiling affably, and
the committee was encouraged.
Are there any more of the pavement
moguls coming?" inquired City Attor-
ney Spencer.

Sterne. rubbing his chin with great
composure.

Really, 1 didn't have time to talk
with him about the plans which he has

are yet to be repaired?
II didn't think to ask him." said Mr..
Sterne.

manager of the company, is here. Does
that signify that he is going to resume
work?'

Mr.. Buckley
Then you apparently can't give US
much information" said Chairman
Snattinger.
NO can't" said Mr. sterne, with
sad look.

grimly at each other, and passed a mo-

LAWYERS TAKE A HAND.
Don't Want DisgracefuI Row
Over the Judgeships.

The lawyers of Phillips county are
taking a hand in the judicial muddle
as far as it affects their judicial dis
trict- They are vitally interested be-
cause the contest in that district will
be at PhiIipsburg on January 1S, and
the Phillips county lawyers have cases
pending which they are anxious should
be heard and that by the proper Judge.
They held a meeting on Thursday to
discuss the matter and suggested ways
of settling the controversy At length
a letter was formulated and copies for
warded both to Judge Geiger and J. r.
Hamilton, the appointee. The letter is
as follows:
''Phillipsburg, Kas-, Jan. 3, 1902.
Dear Sir-On January the Phillips
burg bar and the court officers held a
meeting TO consider the situation which
will present itself in relation to the office
of district judge at the time of the next
term of court, which should be on Janu-
ary 13 next.
All kind of rumors are afioat as to
the intentions of the present incumbent
and the appointee by the governor. 1t
has been claimed that each would as
sert to the fullest possible extent mis-
right to assume the duties and preroga-
tiveS of the court.
1T was the expression of the meet
ing that our wish is to in way be
required to do any act which might be
cur number of any preference in the
matter, or an opinion as to who is
legally judge.
The daily papers have even suggest
ed that the executive authority of the
state will be used to compel recognition
of the appointees, but we discredit this.
We do not think the executive of the
state expects to usurp the functions of
the Judiciary, and arbitrarily decide as
to the constitutionality of a law not
construed by any court. Such a course
would only tend to the embarrassment
of local bars and court officers and
could be productive of no ultimate
good.
we hope the claimants will see a
way to allow this question to come be-
fore proper tribunal in a dignified
manner, to be considered and settled
correctly, and that no experience be in
dulged in, which will reflect discredft
alike upon the bench and bar. That win
compel an expression of preference by
US which might be unpleasant in the
