Our Enormous Bank Deposits.
A table just prepared by the treasury
bureau of statistics showing the bank
deposits of the American people is strik-
ing commentary on the prosperity of the
nation. The table is compiled from the
reports of the comptroller OF the currency
and covers the official figures for the year
1901. The list includes national, saw
ings and state banks. The latter is not
complete, however as it includes only
such private banks that voluntarily
report to the comptroller The total
aggregate is $685. 053 1856, or about
$10S for every man, woman and child
in the United States. Bank deposits
have had wonderful growth during
the past IS years as the following figures
giving the total for various years since
1873, indicate:
Year. Deposits Year Deposits

1887, 3,255,772,134 1901, 9,535,053,136
The total for 1901 is more than twice
as large as in 1891, and nearly four times
as large as in 1891.

SURGICAL OPERATIONS.

A LONDON MEDICAL PUBLICA-
rapid increase in the number of surgi-
cal operations. 1t ascribes this in
crease partly to "the publicity given
to operative work, partly to the fact
that the successful case is apt to be
by no means reticent about the ad-
vantages of getting the thing over,
and partly to the fact that dead men
tell no tales " For these reasons, the
writer says, the public has come to
look with unlimited confidence on the
operating table as way out of every
human difficulty.
1t is undoubtedly true that many
unnecessary surgical operations are be-
ing performed these days. Numbers of
them are so brilliant as to attract pub
lie notice and the published descriptions
of them lead to work that can hardly
be described otherwise than as ad-
venturous. We rarely hear about the
patient who dies in spite of the fact
that the operation was a. complete
success"
On the other hand, we would hardly
care to say that the number of IN
necessary operations is sufficient to
drive patients and surgeons to the other
extreme. The family doctor is, in more
than nine instances out of ten, the best
Judge of the necessities of the case.
We have all heard of the man who tells
gleefuliy about how the doctor wanted
| to cut off his arm or his leg, and 1
says to him, Doc. I'D rather die than
lose my leg And he says, We'll, you'll
die, then, all right And I says, Die
it is, Doc. but the leg stays with me-
| And in six weeks my leg was as good
as ever
Haven't you heard that story? But
have you heard so much about the
man who wouldn't have his leg cut
off, and who did die as a result? No,
for he isn't here to tell the tale, any
more than the fellow who dies from
| the unnecessary operation is here.
AS a rule, the physician or surgeon
| doesn't like to use the knife any more
than the patient likes to have it used
! Surgery is always regarded as the last
resort in the saving of human life.
The men and women who keep away
( from the experimenters and stick to
| the family physician Will, in the long
run, be safest from unnecessary vivi-
section. If you don't think your doc
tor knows what he is talking about,
for mercy's sake discharge him, but
don't call in a doctor and then assume
to know more about your ailment than
! he knows.

SENTIMENT FOR ARBITRATION.

THE HERALD is GLAD to note the
L growing sentiment in favor of ar
bitrating difficulties between employ
ers and employees. It is the only
rational method of settling such prob
lens. and we hope the result of the
coal strike arbitration will be such as
TO bring it into general favor. A re-
cent case of satisfactory arbitration
comes from Denver, and it is specially
entitled to mention because both sides
to the dispute are so well pleased over
the verdict Of the special board.
Last August the employees of the
Rocky Mountain Paper company be-
came dissatisfied at the treatment they
we're receiving. 1t was charged that
the company Disseminated against
union labor, that the hours Of work
were too long and the wages too low,
and that the system of compulsory in
surance should be abolished. The dis
turbance grew into a strike in Sep
TENDER, and early in October both sides
agreed to submit their claims to an
arbitration board.
This board was made Up of a rep
resentative OF the company, a repre-
sentative of union labor and a third
man agreed on by these two A de-
cision which is in the nature Of a
compromise has just been handed down
unanimously by the board. The men
secured part Of what they fought
for, and the company also gained a
partial victory. Both sides announce
their determination 20 live strictly up
10 the terms Of the award.
There is hardly any labor trouble
which cannot be settled by arbitration
il both sides viii agree to accede to the
decree of the board selected. Oppo-
nents Of the plan have argued that ar
filtration can never be successful until
some method Of enforcing DEGREES is
devised. 1t is true that at present there
is no way Of compelling either party
TO live up to the agreement. but The
Herald believes both employers and
employees are honorable enough to
keep their words.

AN ODD STRIKE

DERHAPS THE OLDEST strike on
record is one which has just been
inaugurated in Pittsburg. The students
of a medical college in the smoke me-
tropolis have declared that they will
attend no longer unless fresher ca
davers are furnished them for dissec-
ton purposes. They say they pay for
high grade ''stiffs," and they are en-
titled to the goods.
The Herald doesn't lay claim to any
expert knowledge on the subject OF
cadavers, but it believes the young dis
sectors ought to have whatever they
order. Shop-worn bodies that are en-
tirely out of fashion have no place on
the dissecting table of any up-to-date
institution. 1t is to be hoped that the
boys win win their strike.
We may suggest in passing that We
know a lot of "stiffs" in and around
this part of creation who would make
admirable subjects. Therefore We sug-
gest that the faculty of the college
where the strike is on send out a COM
mittee of investigation. Then, if the
goods are not fresh and disable, as rep
resented, no deal need be made.
