ESSAY
ON NURSING READ BEFORE RE.
CENT MEETING OF THE
CLUB OF KNOWLEDGE.
Each Member to. Prepare a Paper on
Something Interesting to Her Con-
at Last Meeting Voted BY -Four
Judges to Mrs. Allie Zentz.

The ladies Of the Club of knowledge
have decided that each member shall
prepare an essay on something inter-
esting to her or connected with her
life. Four judges were appointed to
decide which should be the most in
teresting. Considering they had little
time to prepare anything, some very
good ones were read. The judges de-
cided Mrs. Allie Zentz, was entitled to
the honors when she read the follow
ing:
Ladies and friends-It gives me
pleasure to address you on a subject
quite interesting to me. My subject
for this afternoons discussion is, Car
ing for the Sick" Wishing to fit my
self more efficiently in the profession
of nursing. | am taking a course of
Obstetrical and genealogical nursing.
l think women who wish to take up
nursing as a profession, but for various
reasons are kept from entering a hos
pital, would be well rewarded by avail.
ing themselves of the opportunity Of
fered them in the different courses
from the Chautauqua School Of Nurs-
ing, thereby becoming more fitted tor
the work.
1t has always struck me as a cry
ing outrage to require three years of
hard work as a nurse to qualify a wo-
man to go out in the world to take
care of parents under the supervision
of physicians. Is, thea. he intelli-
sence Of oma so inferior to that of
man? Or is her adaptability so much
less than his, or the knowledge re-
Quired of a physician, that she must
spend all her time for three a to
qualify as a nurse as compared to four
years outside limit made necessary
for the degree of NJ. D.? No.
Again We will emphasize the fact,
that knowledge. whether gained in a
hospital or by home practice and
study, does not make a nurse. Tact,
a good disposition. cheerfulness and
strict loyalty to patient and physician,
all go toward making a successful
nurse. In this way they may become
better fitted for the work. miss the
hospital d%rudgery and be able to rem
der more efficient service to physician
and patient.
Many beginners are fortunate in Sc
curing the friendship Of a good ply
stefan, who. recognizing their SINGER
ity of purpose and aptness, Is glad to
utilize their service in cases of a sim
pier nature. Physicians often have
cases in which the patient cannot at
ford a nurse, and in undertaking such
work you are not only doing a noble
work but securing practice fully as
valuable as hospital experience.
How valuable a member Of the
household is the nurse when necessity
arises which requires her presence.
No member Of the busy life of the COM
munity can cain a more valuable or
more useful sphere. have tried other
vocations. but nursing will be my work
as long as health permits, and 1t is
for this n many other reasons that
this profession, which, like anything
else in life that is worth while. has
its battles to be won. Hosts of women
today must seek vocation for their
maintenance, while others do not face
this necessarily.

No Tamperins With the Bench

The Sheridan Post is II IN a lengthy
editorial against leaving the place of
supreme judge vacant on the repuhli-
can ticket, thus allowing Judge Corn a
fair field. The Post cites as precedent
for this course that Governor Osborne
appointed all members of his W par
ty on the state boards. Two wrongs
never make one right. No one need
hold Governor O%sborne's aGministra-
ton up as a guide, or even a sample of
what should be done under any circum-
stances, for it was something of a
freak from beginning to end. There
is no possible fault to find with Judge
Corn except he is a democrat. and his
legal ability is acknowledged by every
one. AS a judge he is without stain or
blotch. as a private citizen he is loved,
honored and respected by all who know
him. What more could be asked for in
a Judge? Why not let ~well-enough
alone? Unless there are grave rea-
sons why a change should be made
there should be no tampering with u
supreme court.-Saratoga Sun.

GUESSING CONTESTS BARRED
Decision That Looks Like Trouble Ahead
for Papers That Get Up Such
Schemes.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The president
arrived home at 1902 a. III. yesterday
from st. Louis and was soon at his
desk attending to business. The i'm
portant feature of the day was the
cabinet meeting, at which was dis
cussed the question of the United
States member of the Anglo-Russian
North sea commission. Admiral Dew
ely has expressed himself as unwilling
TO be appointed and it was decided 10
appoint a rear admiral, but who was
not decided.
The most important business was
the report of the attorney general on
the lawtulness Of the guessing con-
tests" which have frequently Leen he'd
by newspapers and other publications.
The report was to the effect that such
contests were illegal Heretofor they
have been held legal, but lately some
high court decisions have held other
wise, and the department Of justice
bows to these decisions. The matter
was turned over to Postmaster Gener-
al Wynne, who says each case will
be decided on its merits.

Edi+oriGl Comment.
Opinions Upside Down.

FROM the Chicago Record-Herad;-
While Russia is struggling bindly for
some measure of freedom and self gov
eminent, this sage bit of comment floats
down from pair of grand ducal lips
"These peasants think, l suppose, that
Russia exists for them as a dog does for
its fleas"
The illustrative use of dog and its
heas in talking of masses and classes is
as time-honored as is Menenius Agrip-
pas fable of opposite purport about the
belly and the members; but in this case
it serves strikiugly, as do so many bits
of news that come from Russia in these
days, to illustrate the sharp opposition
between the point of view of public opin
ION in that country and in this.
If an American were using the dog
and flea illustration in talking of Russia
he would have no hesitation at all in de-
siding which animal represented the
peasantry and which the grand duke.
The marks of the parasite are all too
plain.
Nor could anything give better indi-
cation than does this grand ducal point
OF view that it is revolution which i'm
ponds in Russia. IL the grand dukes
"fleas" secure any recognition at all in
the body polite, revolution is indeed al
ready accomplished. The question for
that country is now not as to whether
revolution is coming or not, but rather
whether the coming revolution will he
peaceful or violent II the car were
strong and intelligent enough to adopt
policy, no matter what, and hold to it,
his acts would decide this most moment
Gus question. As il is, the fate of Rus
STA rests largely upon what men call
chance.
