Smoot and the Hon. T. Kearns had en-
tered the arena arm-in-arnn, looking
forward TO twelve months of lovely har-
mony. The summer clam bake at Pro-
vo, during which the apostle announced
his senatorial candidacy in the pres
ence Of the senator, was accepted as a
continuance OF the programme origin
ated in the holiday season. Now. alas.
all is changed. The senator camps up
on tho apostles trail and the apostle
lies in wait for the senator; the clam
bake and picnic have given way TO the
war party and the wake: gloom reigns
where once peace held her gentle sway
and no one knows when the bitter reud

Apparently the apostle has much the

preston as DR.. Lorenz. He has not
only left enduring monuments behind
him in the little cripples he has. healed.
but ne has given all of us a higher and
truer idea of the nobility of his call
ing.
The man who fights disease and con-
quers 1t is a benefactor of humanity
whose battles are won so often that
the world takes his victories as matters
of course. So it is with the men who
make The halt to walk, the blind to see.
DR.. Lorenz. his heart overlooking with
human kindness. went from one Amer
lean coast line to the other. and every
where he stopped he scattered sun

He was advertised? Yes, advertised
in the best possible way 1t has been
said that he made a large fortune dur

MES the report, but whether he did or
not The Herald doesn't know, and The
Herald doesn't care. We think nothing
over here of pouring thick streams of
gold into the laps of prima donnas who
have to work to keep in the ranks of
the third-raters in their own countries.
Why shouldn't gold be Iavished on a
man who does more good in a five
minute operation than a prima donna
does in six weeks tour? No matter
how much money DR.. Lorenz took
away with him, he is welcome to every
cent Of it.
The Vienna surgeon has given us a
new phrase, too, which is worth some
thing. He has taught us '-bloodless
surgery" We are accustomed to asso-
ciate blood with surgery. The very
word causes a mental picture of a
beautifully clean operating room, uni
formed nurses, a shirt-sleeved sur
geon with rows of shining knives. It
causes a picture of basins and sponges
with an anaesthetized patient in the
center of the room, his body laid open
with few deft strokes of the knife.
Now all of that is necessary in a very
large proportion of cases, but Dr..
Lorenz has taught US that it isn't nee
essary in cOngenital dislocations of the
hip joint. So, for that, and because he
is one Of Gods noblemen, he will carry
with him to Vienna the best wishes of
all the American people, or at least of
all that count. May his days be pro
ionged on the earth that he may con-
tinue doing good and of him may it be
