HEROISM OF PHYSICIANS

Now and then we have impressed
upon us the heroism of physicians

contagious diseases. Too often thew
Ole unhonored and unsung, but this
IS largely a result of their numbers
and the o~bscurity which too often
envelopes them. We had an instance
at point when yellow fever first
broke out in the two Laredos. Able
practitioners Immediately set about
to stamp out the disease with no
thought of the danger they were in
curing. An unusually sad case is
That OF DR.. l.. o. Rood, of Des
Molnes, Ia. While treating a child
who was dying of lockjaw DR.. Rood

tetanus germs and now he is waiting
feverIshly for a week to pass in order
TO lind out Wether he will live or not
The horrors of his can
readily be imagined. So often phy-

but even this fails to make them
hesitate. It has been said hat our
american universities and colleges
are turning out too many doctors of

GENERAL LEES STATUE.

Edward V. Valentine, the Rich
mona sculptor, is making a model OF
statue OF Gen. Robert f, Lee, and
IL VIII bePassed upon bya committee
appointed by the Virginia Legislature
next month. 1t will be remembered
that the last Virginia legislature
made provision for the placing of q
statue of General Lee in the canitol
at Washington, as enc of the two
statues that the state is entitled to
place there. When this is done Vir-
gln1a will be represented in the Ma
tlon>s Hall of Fame by WASHINGTON
n Lee, and it would be strange in
deed 1t Vlrglnia's free choice in a
matter that so deeply Ger her
should be INSTRUCTED or thwarted.
The veterans who fought the Con
1ederacy, it is true, objected to the
placing of a statue of General Lee IN
the federal capitol, but public septi-
ment is becoming kinder, and the
opposition is daily becoming less. mol
one in Virginia now anticipates anv |
legal objection to the carving ont of
V~irginia's choice.
When the federal constitution was !
so written that it was confessediv |
open to two constructions AS to the |
flghts OF the states, assuredly the one
slde was as right as the other. Both
were right. Both saw that it was q
question of such deep import hat if
could be settled by the sword alone.
n each fought for its convictions
Gen. Robert E. Lee stood bv his
state, as did every other Confederate
soldler. Simply because they Fought
and lost doe not entitle any one to
say they fought without c~onvictions
or without a deep sense of the iss,1n
involved. General Lee Was o +rra
IN every relation of life. Mol
Soldier IN the world fought more
consc1entiousiy than he did. The
went against him, but that
iact IN no way lessons his greatness
a soldier or his integrity as a citi-
zen. Like his compeer, George Wash
lngton, he fought the government.
The one won, the other lost. Roth

md earnest in their contentious. {
Statues to their memory should stand )

WOMEN TO SURPASS MEN.

In his sermon on "Women," last Sunday,
Rev. DR.. Hills, of New York, sounded note
of warning to young men in business life.
Said he: eft you don't want women to out
strip you in the industrial race, and compel
you to come to them when you want fifty cents,
you should stop drinking poor whisky and quit
gambling at race-tracks and i'll pool rooms. y
DR.. Hills said in part
"Women, in spite of mans refusals to give
them the rights and privileges 10 which they
are entitled, are to-day in I45 branches of bust
ness, and; in instances, showing more ability
than men.
"In one of the greatest financial institutions
of this city, not long ago, wel-known man,
drawing salary of $4,000 year, had
nervous collapse. The directors selected the
Young woman who for ten years had been the
stenographer. She, the directors told me, has
done better work than the man she succeeded,
and is doing it for only $4,000 a year. In
fifty years, the women will know more than
the men. They have more time to read and
study, and they are improving their time
