Surgeon Admiral.

Surgeon admiral instead OF sur
geon general is the title desired by
Surgeon General Rixey In his annual
report he recommends an entire renam-
ing of the grades IN the medical corps Of
the navy. He says,
"a dissatisfaction has existed for a
long time among the members OF the
medical corps in regard TO the titles
which are given them In the different
grades OF the corps. The present titles
convey no meaning as TO military rank
or Importance OF duty. and embarrass-
ment is often the result when medical
officers Of the navy are brought in con-
tact with their fellows I'm civil life or
other military services. Moreover. these
titles are in a sense somewhat deroga-
tory 70 the dignity of the Office they
represent, as. for example. assistant
surgeon as applied TO a professional
man OF thirty or more years. who may
DE IN charge of a department
TO most naval medical men II Is dis
tasteful TO subordinate the professional
title 10 the military one, but IL is fully
recognized. on the other hand. that q
title which designates both the rank and
grade is desirable. The bureau recon-
mends that Congressional action be ask
ed fer auti Irity to rename the different
grades OF @Ae medical corps now exist
ing. as follows:
In place Of surgeon general. surgeon
admiral. and in the other grades. medi-
cal director 10 become surgeon captain:
medical inspector. surgeon commander:
surgeon. surgeon lieutenant commander.
passed assistant surgeon, surgeon lieu
tenant. and assistant surgeon, surgeon
lieutenant 0unior grade)."
In discussing the Washington Naval
Hospital DIR. RiXey says II is unfit for
hospital purposes, and is soon to De
replaced by new building on the
grounds Of the Museum OF Hygiene and
Medical school. Congress has appropri-
ated $4,000 for the building. and plans
are now in preparation.

Corps Of women nurses.

The establishments Of corps of wo-
men nurses for the navy Is urged by DR..
Rixey- He suggests a revival OF the bill
presented TO Congress which provided
for the organization Of fifty trained wo-
men nurses and as many reserves as
may be thought necessary. He also rec
ommends the appointment OF dentists
for the navy
Overcrowding on training and rcceiv-
ing ships is said by DR.. Rixey to be the
cause OF much sickness and he urges
the construction of suitable shore bar
racks for the accommodation OF men.
A total appropriation OF 1886. 67s.2S is
asked by DR. Rixcy for the year 1905.
The appropriations for 1901 aggregated
$zs7, 42o. The increased estimates are said
by DR.. Rixey 10 have been made neces-
sary by the pronounced increase IN the
size of the navy. The increases are prac-
ticaliy all in the estimates for medical
and surgical supplies.

Needed at the Big Drills.

The Surgeon General says the need for
hospital ships has been emphasized by
the departments policy OF carrying on
extensive drills such as the recent ma
neuvvrs off Portland At San Juan.
p. r.. the navy was forced to call upon
the army 10 care for its sick last year.
and the conflict OF the rules of the
two departments made the treatment OF
the sick sailors IN military hospitals in
San Juan undesirable.
In discussing the proposed ships DR..
Rixey says they should be SO feet long
and should be OF about 1.S00 ton dis
placement. The plans show sun rooms,
operating rooms. convalescents' rooms.
and all the convenienees found in a
modern hospital
DR. Rixey also advises the establish
ment OF a tuberculosis hospital for the
navy similar 10 that Of the army at Fort
Bayard. N NJ II is suggested that
special pavilions for the outdoor treat
ment OF consumptives be established in
connection with the regular naval hos
Fitals. Although many naval patients
have been treated at Fort Bayard Dr.
Rixey says it is not satisfactory TO have
navy men at army institutions.

WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our Regular Correspondent

tfrom our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. 12.-One of the
sharpest debates recently witnessed
in the United States Senate grew out
of the effort of Senator Vest to have a
bill removing the duty on anthracite
coal, in accordance with the President's
recommendation, reported from the
finance committee. In terms made
thrice eloquent by the feeble condition
Of the speaker. which would not per-
NIT him to stand without the support
of his desk, the Senator, for the sec
ond time in e ene week, pleaded the
cause of the poor and needy. He beg
ged his opponents for the sake of hui
manity to abandon partisan consid-

'by poor democrat" but calculated

feeble and of little children who wept

ed the Senator from Missouri with
having consented to a 40 per cent.
duty on coal when the democrats were
In power and Mr.. Vest replied that,
as the Senstor from Rhode Island we'll
knew, that duty was admitted to the
Wilson bill because four democratic
Senators who held the balance of pow
or were untrue to their party and made
the 40 per cent. duty the price of their
vote for the bill. He urged the repub-
licans to rise above the sordid consid-
GRAFTON Of vested interests and par
tisan policy and act for once solely in
the cause of humanity, but his words
fell upon deaf ears.
In the debate between Senator Vest
and his opponents the former quoted
the late Nelson Dingley as having said
that the rates of the Dingley bill had
been made too high with the purpose
of having a margin on which to trade.

REPUBLICANS AND MORmoNs

Senator Du Bots, of Idaho, who is
probably as familiar as any other man
with the politics of the intermountain
section of the country, takes strong
exception to President Roosevelt's in
reference with the selection of Sena-
tor in Utah.
Il am very much surprised" said
the Senator yesterday, ''at the report
ed Interference Of President Roose-
welt and Senator Hanna with the selec-
tion of Senator by the Utah legisla-
ture. 1t has been persistently rumored
for more than two years that an un
Outstanding existed between Senator
Hanna. the chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee, and the first
presidency Of the Mormon church. by
the terms of which the Mormons were
to support the Republican ticket and
the Republican leaders were to guar
antee that the Mormons should not be
lnterfered with. These rumors were
so prevalent that they have been ac-
cepted as facts. After the manifesto
issued and up to the campaign of 1900
the Mormon people had voted their
convictions without interference or
suggestion from the leaders of the
church.
The great majority of them were
Democrats. 1t is an accepted state
ment that is scarcely controverted that
in the 1900 campaign Mr.. Perry Heath,
representing the Republican National
Committee, and especially it's chair
man, Mr.. Hanna, entered into the
agreement which l have spoken of
with the heads of the Mormon Church.
This is In keeping with the Republi-
can methods usually. They have pre-
tended to be unalterably opposed to
polygamy, and yet are secretly conniv-
ing with the Mormons in order to hold
power. Mr.. Roosevelt is about to
throw the fat in the fire by breaking
the Hanna agreement.

THE WESTERN STATE HOSPITAL,

The annual report of the Board oil
Directors and the Superintendent Of
the Western State Hospital, has beer
received. Some mention was made only
short time ago of the matters which
the report of DR.. Benz. Blackford, the
Superintendent, would show, but the
condition of this great institution for
most unfortunate class of human
beings is always of interest, SO we will
touch in our brief space upon a few
of the most important features shown
therein. This year has been hard
one. The price of living has been in
creased owing to the advanced prices
of many commodities, and owing also
to a fire In the Eastern Hospital an
unusually large number of patients
from distant parts of the State were
brought to this hospital, mourning a
larger expense than usual for trans
portation. -
- TALLY average Of patients was
LUIS during the year, making the per
capita for maintenance $119.16, and
for maintenance and transportation
$l2l.2S. Inasmuch, therefore as the
appropriation last year was only
$lO5,000, and receipts from other sour
ces ran this sum up to 1924, 900 in
round numbers. and the total expen-
ditures were about $129, 500, there is a
deficit of about S. 800. The price. of
coal and flour alone have so advanced
the prices of support per capita that
1t is impossible to keep the percapita
down or conduct the institution on
the same money received last year.
Only few days ago the authorities
became alarmed at the coal situation.
they were scraping the bins. But a
direct application to those high in au-
thority with the G. & o. brought TEN.
porary relief in the way of 100 tons OF
coal, but in as much as 20 tons per day
are sometimes required there, this
supply was meager.
The institution is in the best possi
BILE condition, every detail being salts
factory to the board, but the Legisla-
ture must look after it in a proper
way. 1t will prove poor economy to
spend our money on pensions and ex-
positions and let this great charity
languish and economic, and scimp to
make buckle and tongue meet. This
has been the policy for several years, |
but we trust that policy has passed
forever.
