Story of a Great Surgeon.

FROM the ST James Oazette.t
The inability of a poor girl in the west
country to pay for advice locally has re-
suited in her being sent to St Bartholo-
news Hospital. where her blindness has
been cured Had she been little less poor
she would have been content with local
advice-and have lost her sight The story
is a remarkable parallel to one which a
doctor has been telling the writer. A poor
man. also from the. west, had been treated
by his club doctor-a busy, overworked
good-hearted fellow-for glandular swelling
in the neck. The merest chance brought
the patient to London, and a confederation
of coincidents led to his meeting a st.
Thomas Hospital surgeon. You come up

Man, one of the sort whom a young
man can admire and understand. He is
grit and sympathy. He is a figure to ap-
preciate.
Old party lines are not as we'll defined
as they have been in the past. New is
sues have arisen, and those who for the
first time cast their votes for President
will not cast it as Democrats or Repub-
licans because they must vote as their
fathers voted. Information is more gen.
eral than it was a quarter of a century
ago, and the young man thinks for him
self, because he knows enough to do so.
He, If he be not absolutely ignorant,
keeps step with the march of circum-
stances. He will not cast his vote ac-
cording to a legend.
1t is because Of this, because of the
amazing difference in the personality Of
the candidates, that the young men will
inevitably incline to Roosevelt. With all
regard for the eminent responsibility of
Mr.. Parker he must be looked upon as
having about the same degree of mag
netism as the ordinary fish, no doubt a
useful product but incorporating in a
personal way. For the man who likes a
manly man, as young men do, there is no
comparison between the candidates.
Roosevelt will get the young mems votes.

THE BUSINESS MEMS VOTE.
Reasons Why 1t Should Be Given to
Republican Candidates.

In the presidential elections of 1896
and 1900 the business men of the coun-
try exercised more decisive influence than
i'll any other two national elections in our
history. They voted in greater numbers
than ever before, and their vote was al
most solid in favor Of sound money, pro-
lection of home markets, and the extern
sion of foreign trade. 1t is hardly too
much to say that the conservative busi
ness vote of the country turned the scale
i'll 1896 and 1900. For tins the business
men may well congratulate themselves
and enjoy the consciousness of having
done their duty and rendered great SER
vice to the country.
But how about the coming election
The money question in it's various phases
of the gold standard, the currS--y and
the national banks is still threatened by
one wing of the Democratic party, while
the protection of home markets and the
opening of foreign ones is as important
as ever. The Democratic platform is ST.
lent on the money question. Judge Par
ker says the geld standard is ''irrevoca-
bly, fixed" but the Democratic party has
not said so. That party has been wrong
Oh every phase of the financial question
Can it be trusted now?
Speaker Cannon, in his notification
speech to Mr.. Roosevelt, said that IL
Judge Parker's vote and support Of his
party's candidate in 1896 and 1900 had
been decisive, I'VE would now have the
silver standard" There is something for
business men to think about. Judge Par
ker claims to have repented and the par
ty promises reform. Can they be trust
ed?.
The question of protecting home mar
kets and extending foreign markets is
one of vital Importance to business men.
From business point of view it is a
question of life or death. The Demo-
cratic party favors n tariff policy that
would be fatal to both home and foreign
markets. 1t is no more worthy of the
support of business men now than 1t was
in 1896 or in 1900.

Roosevelt and Union Veterans.

In 1889 Theodore Roosevelt as Civil
Service Commissioner. devised the plan
by which veterans of the war for the
Union who had been dismissed from the
public service with good records could
be reinstated A great many veterans
had been discharged without cause dur
ing the previous Democratic administra-
ton. Under the rule devised and estab-
lshed by Mr.. Roosevelt hundreds of
them were reinstated in the public SER
vice during Mr.. McKinley's administra-
tion. AS that was more than ten years
before Mr.. Roosevelt was nominated for
Vice President his action could not be
attributed to political motives. 1t was
due to his regard for the veterans and to
a desire to remedy Democratic injustice.
