The HeToism of Physicians,

The news from New Orleans tells
in few words of the heroism and
death of DR.. Charles NJ. Shanely.
From the meager accounts thus far
received it appears that DR.. Shaneiy,
who was not in active practice, VOL
unteered for service in one of the
fever-stricken districts. Not being
an immune he contracted the fever.
When he was nearly well he resum-
ed his ministrations to his poorer
neighbors too soon and died from a
relapse
The heroism of the physician is SO
often unnoticed because it lacks the
dash and glory of the soldier and is
without the appeal to a future life
OF the martyr; but it is none the
less real. it is none the less useful.
because We are too dull to appreciate
II and too stupid to praise it. DR..
Shanely wore himself out in the
service Of humanity. He knew the
risks he took and he braved them
cheerfully that he might tighten the
load of suffering of his brethren.
white and black. Common humanity
called him and he answered twice.
and both times with his services to
the extent of his powers.

One-Time Washington Reporter Returns
President of Four Chicago Banks-Ar-
IONA Set on Statehood

In IsSS, s. r. Flynn. 2 young reporter
attached 10 the Washington bureau of
the Baltimore Sun, decided TO try
Horace Greeley's advice and go West.
In a week or two afterwara he was
doing the duty Of a special agent on
Indian depredations In the State OF
Washington.
While In Spokane. he ran a newspaper
for two years. and later became a ma
tional bank examiner. From Spokane
he was transferred to Minneapolis.
where he remained up to a few years
ago. Then he went to Chicago.
He had become thoroughly grounded
in the intricacies of banking. and to-
day MIR. FIynnNis here attending the an
ncal convention of the American Bank
ers' Association as president OF the fol-
lowing banks in Chicago: National
Live Stock Bank, Peoples Trust and
Savings, Stock Yards Savings, and the
West Side Trust and Savings Bank.
''If had remained here at the Capt.
tal." said Mr.. Flynn at the New Will
lard today, IL might still be chasing
the elusive news item. That was one
of the thoughts that prompted me to
strike out for the West And that is
the country of opportunity. All you
have to do is TO be alive and awake and
hustle
Mr.. Flynn said the West is today en-
joying an era OF unbounded prosperity.

A Disregard of Law. y

In his address to the American
Bankers Association, yesterday, Mr..
Frank A. Vanderlip used these
words:
I'VE know there is a disregard Of
law in labor unions and in corpora
tion offices alike. which is threaten
ing to our welfare"
Aye, that is it, There is dis
regard of law throughout the land
that is not only threatening our wei
fare but actually eating our sub
stance and sapping our institutions.
Neither the labor unions nor the
corporation offices have a monopoly
of this product of our civilization;
we are all sick with the disease.
The extent of our failing is shown
by the fact that our disregard for
particular laws is independent Of
philosophic considerations of their
propriety; If law stands in the way
of our captains of industry it will
be brushed aside, cfrcumvented, or
evaded.
The country will be threatened"
until we are educated to respect the
law. Where should this education
show itself Arst? Within the cor
poration offices. where the civic vir-
tue and enlightened intelligence Of
the land are supposed to be gathered.
or among the labor unions?
To an unprejudiced mind it would
seem that high education, cultured
leisure, and competent means i'm
posed obligations upon their posses
sors which the members of labor
unions are not burdened with. To
all right thinking persons the duty
to regard and respect the law would
seem to rest upon each and every
individual In the land-and to rest
most heavily upon those on whom
the laws confer most benefits.

Football Looking Up.

Football is too fine a game to be
lost If common sense and good
craftsmanship can save it. So those
who knew the game and love good
sport were nightly pleased that the
President jumped into the scrimmase
with characteristic vigor and brought
the Offenders against common sense
and good craftsmanship to time.
They will be more pleased at today's
news that action toward reform is
promised by the very men best quail
flied to take such action-the
coaches.
The trouble with football as wa
play 1t in this country is American
ISM We never do anything half
hearted If we do 1t at all. we do II
up to the handle. When we adopted
the English game of football, there
fore. we developed 1t more In twenty
years than the English had deyeloped
1t In 200 years. The same spirit
that made a compact, well-organized.
active unit !, out of dozen segre-
gated and weak States. made a unit
out OF eleven separate boys arrayed
as football team. And that spirit
OF doing the thing with all the
strength that lies In us and central-
izing all the elements of that
strength it was that heightened
every possibility of danger which
football afforded.
Discussion Of the practical means
OF eliminating danger from the game
belongs in another department of
the paper. But 1t is not amiss here
TO indicate that this same American
spirit-all things considered It is the
finest spirit men have ever possessed
can easily be used to accomplisb
this reform; and unless 1t is so used
the reforming process will prove ex-
tremely difficult. Put a premium on
open play, remove the off-side nen-
atty on kicking the ball, and lessen
the number of yards to be gained
according as fewer PLAYERS are nsed
10 advance the ball. Then the Sara
energy, enthusiasm, and eagerness
TO anticipate development which
nave made the elevens human bat
tering rams will be employed to get
those new advantages of open play.
II that comes to pass football will ba
restored to its old character of chess
on human legs.

OCTOBER.

The days are still. and the long nights
hushed,
~ And the far sky burns like the heart
of a rose;
And the woods with the gold of autumn
flushed.
Lavish their splendor in crimson
SHOWS.
The quail pipes shrilly. the robin sings
sweet. low song OF a southern world
At early morn. when in delicate rings
The mists from the marshes are up
ward curled.
The schoolboys shout on the windy hill.
Where nuts lie thick In the matted
grass;
And the rnaidens, who trip by the moss
grown mill,
Sweetly sing as they lightly pass.
The world is caught In q wonderful net
OF beauty. tremulous-golden haze,
And. is laid asleep to dream and forget
That winter cometh and stormy days.

Goldsmith and Barnardo.

he had befriended walled on the
staircase leading to his room His
was the widows mite of philan-
throphy. When Dr. Barnardo died,
recently bis body lay ins state Sfor
three days, in mission hall in Lon
don. and thousands upon thousands
whom he had rescued from filth, pow
erty, and degradation passed by to
show their reverence and respect.
Goldsmith represented the ancient
spirit of personal philanthrophy and
individual charity. Barnardo added
to these the modern power of organi
zation and specialization. There is
room for both the Goldsmith and the
Barnardo types in this world, and
theirs are the true riches, the love
of their fellows purchased by years
of devotion and service
Oliver Goldsmith won the hearts
of the poor and the outcast; he
charmed not only the hearts but the
heads of the wealthy and the wise.
Hardly man can think of the story
of Goldsmith but is better for the
softness of heart that ensues. Thou
sands of useful men, and women to-
day recall the memory of DR.. Bar
nardo as the directing force that
lifted them from the cutters of Lon
don and set them forward on the
highways of decency.
OF DR.. Barnardo, as he embodied
the modern spirit of specialized or
ganization in charity work, enough
has not been said. AS young man,
a physician trained for missionary
work in the Far East, he found there
was an almost uncxplored field for
effort IN the rescue of the waits af
teeming London. His spirit was not
stilled by the fact that he was not
rich, nor was he oppressed by the
magnitude of the misery he found.
The tears, the more dreadful. hard
ened stupidity of the neglected chill
dren of London. called for what he
could give in abundance-work,h hard,
intelligent work That he gave, and
in giving his own work he found
the wealth OF others ready to help
him. His mission ended in East
London, which was farther away
from the hearts Of religious London
than distant Cathay. He became,
what he had trained himself for,
foreign missionary--at home.
For forty years DR.. Barnardo la
bored for and with the neglected chill
dren of London. His method was
the rational one of providing for
their physical comfort, giving them
homes, food, and clothes: educating
them in decency and hope; and
finally putting them in the way of
supporting themselves.
More than fifty thousand children
were helped by DR.. Barnardo. Thou
sands of men and women who, but
for him, would have rotted in Lon
don's slums, are today living in
decency and comfort, and are adding
to the wealth and power of Eng
lands colonies. The investments he
made of his own work and his coun-
try's wealth are now bringing enor-

The selection OF Mary Lyon and Maria

sion among the women folks In this

Generally speaking. the greatest
amount of criticism of the selection of
