THE PERIL or DELAY
A Medical Writer Takes the Kings Case
for Text.
PHILADELPHIA Medical Journal.

Philadelphia Medical Journal.
Whatever the issue may be, the case of
King Edward will be looked upon as an
awful example. Whatever the re-
sponsibity for delay may be, and where
ever it may rest, the case will be an object
lesson to the world-not soon to be for
gotten-of the dreadful disadvantages that
come from delay.
We believe that this responsibility does
not rest entirely upon the distinguished
men who have had the Kings case in
charge. Statements in the press, which
seem to be authentic, indicate that the
royal patient himself opposed the opera
ton until the alternative was bluntly
stated to him--the knife or death. The
circumstances were altogether extraor-
binary. A nation was waiting for the
consummation of brilliant and excep.
tional ceremony. There was every temp
tation to delay and to take chances. The
King himself took the chances, and his
surgeons should be exempt.
The object lesson to the world will have
this value-that it will teach how little is
to be gained by delay and how great
peril is incurred by it. We have
recognized for a long time that the
teaching and practice in this county on
the subject of appendicitis were in adj
vance of those that prevail in Britain.
The consel vatism there has been extreme;
the practice has verged upon timidity.
The American rule, we believe, is the
better one; and, whether the King lives or
dies, this fact will remain proven. If the
King lives it will only be by passing
through great peril, which in almost all
similar cases can be averted by prompt
operation.
What is to be gained by allowing man
to 60 about for ten days with pus forming
in his abdomen? There can. be but one
answer 10 this question. Early operation,
while the case is merely one of appended
collie, usually means cure. Deferred
operation inevitably means protracted
convalesence, invalidsm, or, in too many
cases, death. The value of the Kings
case will arise from the fact that 1t will be
educational to the public, and that
hereafter it will be even more difficult for
a conservative surgeon to refuse to operate.

1T IS DEAD.

The Constitutional Convention On last
Thursday reluctantly yielded its grasp on
the Sovereignty of Virginia, it lad usurped
so completely, by adjourning sine die. An
effort was made by a resolution to prolong
its existence until January, 1908, but the
mot ION was voted down by vote of 81 to
20. MIR, Meredith, of Richmond, was the
aut hor of the resolution, and he declared
it WAS wise precaution to take in the
vent that the courts should declare that
ahy of the provisions of the new instru-
lhent, or that indeed the whole of it, are
invalid. In such an event the Convention
was to be called together by the Presi-
dent Of the Convention to patch up an
unconstitutional constitution.
We apprehend that very little regret
will be felt by the people of Virginia at
the dissolution of the most partisan, unfair
and revolutionary body that ever met in
the State to make statute or organic laws.
Many believe that 1t would have been
better for the State if the Convention had
never assembled. 1t would certainly
have been better for the future reputation
of those members who have shown such
a bitter partisan spirit if the body had
never convened. Senator Daniels pre-
diction that it would prove a. charnel
house for many aspiring politicians will
be verified.
The men who framed the new Constitu.
ion may be proud of their work, but we
doubt it.

PRETENDED INDIFFERENCE,

A number of our Democratic contempt
rares, speaking for the Democracy OF
Virginia, are disposed to make light of the
expressed purpose of the Republicans to
test the new Constitution in the Supreme
Court of the United States. The only solicl'
tude they express is that any effort to lnVal'
idate the instrument by judicial determine
ton will be injurious to the welfare OF the
negroes Of the State, whether the effort is
successful or not. We fail to see how any
such thing could follow failure to have
the courts decide the instrument uncon-
stitutional; and We cannot imagine how
favorable decision for those who assail the
Constitution will damage the negroes. 1t
would necessarily cause them to have a
higher respect for the courts and the law
than they have ever entertained before;
and to our minds would make them more
thoroughly appreciate the duties and re-
sponsibilities of citizenship.
How would decision pronouncing the
new Constitution invalid affect the Demo
cratic party? This is question that
should most seriously engage the attention
of the Democracy. To our mind it would
SO discredit the party that it would lose
the confidence of the masses and make
the Constitutional Convention ridiculous
and odious. Our Democratic friends are
much more )aarmed over the situation
than they will admit They are merely
whistling tR keep up their courage and
make people believe they are brave and

r4E Duly nE REGISTRARS.

Much of the success of the new suffrage
law will depend upon the fidelity and
competence of the new registrars. With
them lests in great measure the making of
the permanent electorate of the State, for
by the actions Of the convention the
voters now enrolled will be permanently
enrolled after 1904.
1t is useless to mince matters here. The
convention met to disfranchise the negro,
and passed strict laws with that end di-
rectly in view, and it now devolves upon
the registrars to execute these laws, and
they should do go both in letter and spirit.
Salem Times. Register.
This, then, is what is expected OF the
commissioners of registration. The Rich
mond News soon after the understand
ING clause" was brought before the Con-
stitutional Convention declared that it
meant one of two things -
"Fraud and violation of oath by Com
missloners of Registration with the con-
nivance of judges,
or
"Ihe disfranchisement of some thou
sands of poor and illiterate white men. "
If we understand the meaning of the
remarks of the "Times. Register" it Tif
be considered the duty of the Commis
sioners of Registration to violate thSil
oaths. Is it expected that the fiftfer
hundred men who have been selected tC
make new registration of the voters IL
Virginia will become perjurers and have
their names and that of their scendantf
coupled with infamy?
If the registrars do what they aye ex'
pected to do, not only will they destroy
their regulations as honest men, put they
will make the Constitutional Convention,
that created them and made the new
suffrage law, a synonym of infaniy.
