MEDICAL PROGRESS IN 1908.
Important Discoveries of Remedies
and PreYentiyes.


and Preventives.
From the Baltimore American
At the close of the year the American, In
speaking of the work accomplished by the
various branches Of human endeavor VEN
tured the opinion that 1903 would be year
of realization in INSTRUMENTATION from
the researches and discoveries and the
faithful labors of the preceding and other
years. The world has not advanced far into
the present year, yet there are good reasons
for believing that the prediction will be
justified. The remarkable cures wrought by
the use of formaln have startled even the
medical profession. There can be no doubt
Of the cures, though much is still unknown
concerning the effects of formalin, what
are its limitations and how far it can be
safely applied 1t has cured some people,
however, and the discovery of the class of
cases to which it can be applied is only
matter of time.
This is not the only discovery of the new
year. An Italian physician has found the
bacillus of pneumonia, and has made use
of it to arrest the progress of the disease.
Many physicians - perhaps all - have con-
coded that pneumonia was a germ disease.
but the opinion on the subject has been
vague, and the fact that pneumonia ap-
peared to spring from sudden changes of
temperature or reckless exposure rather
than from germs has led the layman to &C
cept the bacillus theory with more or less
of incredulity. The discovery Of the italian
physician goes far to establish that every
disease is the result of germs. This being
ascertained, it ought not to be difficult,
reasoning by analogy, to find remedy for
every disease.
These are not the only discoveries In 1903,
only month Of which has passed. Prof.
Baginsky Of the Emperor and Empress
Frederick Chidren's Hospital, in Berlin,
announces that a discovery Of serum
against scarlet fever has been made by DR..
Aronson. He believes that the serum will
be specific for this disease. There can be
few more important medical discoveries.
There is no greater scourge of infancy than
scarlet fever. In recent years 1t seems to
have been more benign than formerly, but
1t is treacherous and eXaspera ting dis
order, and physicians will joyfully welcome
a substance that will control it. Discovery
appears to be making rapid strides in 1908,
but it is to large extent the harvest from
the laborious studies and researches in the
past.

. New York, Jan. Il. II The combine

of five dollars a ton is so small that
it has little effect on prices.

Some Timely Observations on Two No
table Evils in Our Judicial System.

table Evils in Our Judicial System.
In the light of recent criminal
trials in the Carolinas the editor
would like to submit a few remarks
from the point of view of a layman
who does not understand anything
about the law although he has an
deep and abiding reverence for Law.
1t has sometimes seemed to US that
there is a difference between the
majesty and dignity and glory of
Law and what is called "the law" law
as she is practised, in other words.
1t seems to us that the custom of
picking the right judge is something
of an abuse. As we understand it the
cases that are to be tried are ar
ranged on a calendar for each term
of court. And then, if the judge at
that term is known to be severe in
his sentences and possessed of Ger
tain old-fashioned notions about vim
dicating the offended majesty of law,
then it invariably happens that some
body who is essential to the case
turns up sick and there is a physi-
clans certificate regularly signed to
prove it. But at the next term there
ome along a judge whose heart
does him credit everywhere except
on the judicial bench, and nobody is
sick, or if that happens, the defend
ants try to get along without their
most important witness and the case
proceeds.
Now it seems to us that the lawyers
ought to make it a rule among them
selves to take the chances on the
judge. 1t might be even made a
point of honor, that sickness should
be bona fde and that a put up job as
to that or any of the various ways
of continuing a trial should be so
frowned down upon by the legal fra
ternity that they should never be at
tempted.
In the Tillman case the expected
has happened. According to the best
plea of the criminal himself, the fact
that Gonzales put his thumb in his
overcoat pocket as he tried to avoid
meeting Tillman cost him his life.
And the case was removed from Col
umbia to Lexington against the pro
tests of the State, by Judge Gary
Judge Gary, according to the testi,
mony of the Columbia State is known
in the Tillman household as "Cousir
Frank" The News has already told
by what process Judge Gary was
chosen, the personal and political
friend of the Tillmans, to preside al
the Lexington court, there by the pc
tition of a bar practically all retain.
ed for Tillman.
Also it will be remembered tina
the Haywood case was continued. I
would have come before Judge Jus
tice, even after the reasonable deIay
that is always given when the lawyer.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-10-20

is wanted by the defense that men
may lose their keen sense of the
wrong that the accused has done. We
are not making the charge that the
defendants lawyers should have been
over-anxious for justice for their
client. That would be too much to
ask for human nature. But they
should not have objected to Judge
Justice on the ground that they
might get justice. We forget what
the excuse was, but that hardly
makes any difference.
And we do not think that the dis
patches from the seem of the trials
indicated that in picking their judges
the defense in either case displayed
their want of good sense. We only
make the point, that to a layman, the
high ideals of Law, as they appear to
him, should disbar any lawyer who
attempts to have his case tried by a
complaisant judge, and continued
when the judge was known to be just.
And then the jury-packing bust
ness, it seems to us, has been carried
to an extreme. Trial by jury is a
phrase that has an historical mean
ing to the Anglo-Saxon who knows
the upward struggles of his race
against oppression. But the way the
jury is selected is not too severely
satirized by Mark Twain when he
said the only difficulty about it was
that it was sometimes hard to find
twelve men who never read anything
and did not know anything. We VEN
ture to say that the attorneys for
the defense in either Lexington or
Raleigh knew pretty well how every
possible juror stood on the Haywood
case, or in the Tillman case. 1t
seems to us again, that the laws
should be so framed as to secure
juries composed at least of average
men, intelligent and inc%orruptibfe.
In North Carolina the defense has a
big advantage over the State in pack
ing the jury. The jury system is all
right. 1t is the jury as she is packed
that is all wrong. And generally the
more important the case is, the lower
is the average of the jury.
So the current opinion in the two
States that neither Haywood nor
Tillman would suffer any penalty for
their dastardly deeds of blood, having
been justified by the events, we are
inclined to point what seems to us to
be the lesson.
1t is said that it is impossible to
convict anybody of wealth or promi-
hence in either Carolina of the
crime of murder. But we do not be-
lieve that the truth of this statement
lies in the fact that anybody is
bribed, though unscrupulousness is
everywhere. The money does not buy
either judge or jury. The promi-
nence of the accused does not over
awe either, but that prominence may
be a subtle bride to judges elected
through political machines, and the
prominence is a means of getting the
necessary money. But the money is
used in the legitimate employment
of the ablest lawyers. That is the ad-
vantage that the rich man has over
