DOCTORS GAIN SKILL.
THE IMPORTANT WORK OF THE POST
GRADUATE MEDICAL SCHOOL.

When a worthy German few weeks ago
gave $50000O to found a postgraduate medi-
cal school at Frankfort, Germany, he advised
that it be modelled after the New-York Post
Graduate Medical School and Hospital Ger
man newspapers did not take kindly to this
delicate compliment to the enterprise OF New
York physicians. They characterize 1t as an
other example OF the American invasion, and
ask why it is necessary for an Old World coun-
try to go to the New for medical improve
ments.
The excellent work which this postgraduate
school has been doing for number OF years
has been felt not only in all parts of this coun-
try but around the world. England has felt its
effort in the development of physicians in all
of her Canadian provinces China, Japan. Corea,
India and other countries have been benefited
through the education of scores of medical mis-
sonaries sent out by the Presbyterian and Meth
odist mission boards.
At the institution just they telling of
incident which strikes the keynote of the
postgraduate school
The operating room was filled with eager,
attentive students, most of them physicians
who had been practising for years, men of dig
nifty and standing in their respective communi-
ties. The operation of intubation of
the larynx, and a little child was the victim.
A bearded man among the students watched
every move which the trained surgeons took.
He was doctor from little town in Illinois,
and his time at the postgraduate school was
limited. But that was not the reason for his
intense interest.
The operation ended after time The suffer
ing relieved and the child lived. Then
some noticed that the bearded man was cry
ing.
What's the matter, doctor?' asked a friend
Natter he exclaimed husky, looking up.

baton / could have saved my little child
from death. Thank heaven 1 know how now

THE Common View of hell as fire.
.auently stated by such preachers as the
late Mr.. Sturgeon and the late DR.. Tai
mage, Dr. Farrar considered to be abb
solutely contrary to both the teachings
of Holy Scripture and the early teach
ings of the church.
1t has been said that Farrar did not
believe in hell, and l have not seen a
single notice of the late dean in any
secular paper in which this statement
has not been implied. Now, DR.. Far
rar was very sensitive on this point.
In his preface to his sermons he writes:
The statements which have been so
frequently circulated in England and
America that / have denied the exist
ence of hell or. denounced the doctrine
of eternal punishment, are merely ig-
norant perversions of what l have tried
to teach.
Now, what are the views of the late
DR.. Farrar? Simply that in the great
unknown future there will be Eternal
Hope" DR.. Farrar's statements are so
beautiful, both in nodesty of express
sion and in cultured diction, that no
apology need be made for a quotation
of his very words. He writes in his
preface to External Hope"

NEW York Eyening Post.

The splendid and unquestioned be-
neficence of the Christian religion in
practice, whatever intellectual short
comings the critical may find in its
theoiogy-this has long been the most
powerful argument of the apologist,
and the greatest actual commentator
Of the Christian church to those who
look off widely upon the needs OF soc1-
ETY.. Christian life carries today most
of the burden of Christian dogma. In
these circumstances, 1T is not perhaps
surprising that certain church people
are alarmed at what they think n
growing tendency to withdraw charity
from the hands of ecclesiastical admin
istrators They see on all sides the
multiplication of non-sectarian and Sc
cular institutions of charitable nat
ure.
Modern charity, to be most effective,
has often to be on a colossal scale. To
finance it is almost like financing a
big corporation. The same thing fol-
lows with even greater certainty, in
the case of charities conducted by the
state. Under our system, they must
be undenominational and without di-
rect religious control. But what we
have to remember is that the state
and the city ARE all the while assum-
ing larger and larger charitable func-
lions. The work of relief, of reform,
of care for the crippled, the blind, the
insane, which used to be so almost ex-
clusively left to private hands or to
the churches. is now taken over on a
constantly charging scale by the pub
lie authorities. We could not wish it
otherwise. Who can regret seeing the
municipal government take on more
and more of the attitude of watchful
and solicitous guardian and protector
of the poor and sick? 1t is a necessary
part OF public duty, in the modern
conception. State, or city that turned

world" William Mckinley said the
same thing at Buffalo, just before the
assassin shot him. They declared for
| the reciprocity which William McKin-
ley urged SO earnestly upon his party
| and country. Blaine had urged it for
/ years earlier. States as far apart as
Maine and Illinois are thoroughly in
fected with the Iowa idea" We OBJ
serve that Chairman Babcock of the re-
| publican congressional campaign COM
lmittee is mistaken in his belief that o
republican and protectionist congress
can make the plainly advisable changes
lin the Dngley schedules without de-
ranging business or soaring away pros
perity. In a Tribune interview he has
just been indicating some of the chan
ges. We quote:
The republican party should lay the
foundation for its future perpetuation
While the country is prosperous. 1t
should abide strictly by its fundamen-
tai principle of protection. This means
that if it costs 81 to manufacture an
article abroad it costs $1.25 to manufac-
ture that same article in the United
States. the tariff on that article should
be % cents. The minute the tariff ex-
ceeds the difference in cost of manu-
facture between the two countries. that
minute it fosters monopoly. The iron
and steel industry is the great exam
pie of this fact Heavy castings In
steel and iron can be produced in the
United States for less money than in
any country in the world, yet there is
a tariff of nearly SIS a ton on the same
products. This means that the Amer
lean consumer of steel is required to
pay to the American manufacturer OF
steel at least IS on each ton purchased;
in the aggregate this amounts to over
$50, 000,0 900 year. The glass industry
presents another example on the same
line. A few years ago you could buy
a box of glass for something like 30
cents. Today it costs in the neigh
borhood of $3.50. When conditions
change to the extent of fostering such
charges as these, it is the part OF po-
litical wisdom and patriotism to change
these particular tariff schedules"
We are not yet convinced that 1t is
an impossible thing to strengthen the
defenses of the protective tariff at a
few weak points without bringing down
the whole fortress in Gathering ruin.
1t looks like common sense that the
time for strengthening defences is be-
fore the enemy's attack, and not after
ward We do not want to see Connects
cut manufactures hit by another dem

A CONNECTICUT IDEA.

One Of the most remarkable state
ments regarding tariff revision appears
in recent issue of the Hartford Cour-
ant, a staunch republican paper pub
lished in the very midst OF the protected
industries of Connecticut. 1t is pub
lished in full in another column of to-
days T.-R. and is recommended to the
thoughtful attention of our readers.
The Courant quotes from the Iowa re-
publican platform to show that its tariff
plank is mo more an Iowa idea than
II is a Wisconsin idea, a Minnesota
idea, an Oregon idea or o Connecticut
idea" and that Governor Cummins and
Senator Deliver have mot struck off
into any new path They are in the old
way Travelled by Lincoln, Garfield,
Blaine and Mckinley" But the impor-
tant utterance of this Connecticut re-
publican editor is the close of his ar
gument. After setting forth clearly the
dangers Of excessively high tariff du-
ties in the steel and glass schedules, he
boldly declares: The minute the tariff
exceeds the difference in cost of manu-
facture between the two countries that
minute 1t fosters monopoly"
Subscribing to this doctrine with no
apparent fear of being called demo
cratic" or independent by LATE
Young's paper the Courant editor pro-
ceeds: I'VE do not want to see Con-
necticut manufacturers hit by another
democratic tariff revision, we do not
want to see a return CT democratic
times for Connecticut workingmen.
We are not yet convinced that
It is an impossible thing to strengthen
The defenses of the protective tariff at a
lew weak points without bringing down
he whole fortress in Gathering ruins.
It looks like common sense that the
lime for strengthening defenses is be-
lore the enemy's attack, and not after
ward. We remain of the same
opinion as to what republican con-
yress should do with import duties per-
verted from their true purpose to the
lnordinate enrichment Of corporations
nonopolistic in fact or IN tendency"
Notice the phases perverted and
'inordinate enrichment of corporations

DO YOUNG MEN WORK.

When, not long ago, an Iowa news.
paper anxious to engage a city reporter
vent postal cards to various other news
paper offices turnout the state stating
It's need and asking that some pushing
young man be recommended for the po-
sition, the following reply was ELECTED
from the Lake City Graphic:
Have your postal card asking for
young man. You really don't expect
to find young man to work, do you?
The race is extinct. Boys are reared
by improved methods these days, and
they are absolutely worthless in the
matter of DO. They flourish we'll in
red ties, hair oil, and tan or patent
leather shoes; but to have one of them
DO something are too busy -.
they haven't the time really. Bass
wood boys are the rule, consequently
pulpy young men are the product If
you find a young man who really will,
actually do the thing, please Wire"
The Lake City editors structures con-
tain more of injustice than of fact.
Young men of today, generally speak
ing, are very much what young men
were century ago. There We're WORTH
less young men then as there are drones
and parasites now. When the Lake
City mans grandfather was a young
man, some testy old fellow voiced the
same sentiments as the Lake City edi-
tor does now. He said and thoroughly
believed that the young men of 1903
were going to the devil as fast as their
legs could carry them. 1t is the privil-
eye claimed by and cheerfully accorded
to old age TO criticise adversely the
rising generation, but the world dis
proves its correctness by growing bet
ter wiser and stronger year by year.
It is the younger men who do
things" They attack mountains with
more Of serene confidence than their
fathers encountered mole hills. Their
strength is herculean, and their secur-
ity in It's adequacy superb. This is the
age OF young men. They work as no
other generation has ever labored and
create as no other age has created.
They build, upon the foundations of all
the yesterdays, q greater and better to-
day and lay the foundation for
broader tomorrow. Their capacity has
become so universally recognized that
middle-aged men find employment hard
to secure. 1t is their ambition and en-
ergy that accomplish the great reforms,
originate marvellous methods and breed
new inventions. They are leaders in
finance, industry, science and art. This
is the age of young men, the century
of achievement.
Let us not then thoughtlessly CEN
sure the rising generation. 1t will de-
veIop the worthless and the criminal
as every previous one has done; but
from 1t will rise the reformers. who
shall teach the world a new lesson and
the artist who shall bring with him
an added glory to music and form and
color. The priest Of a new religion, the
harbinger Of a new hope, the Messiah
Of universal brotherhood must come
