THAT MISSOURI DECISION.

On February II, telegram from St
Louis, was published in the Courier
and other newspapers throughout the
country, stating that the supreme court
of Missouri had decided case to
the effect that osteopaths are neither
physicians nor surgeons under the laws
OF that state and that osteopaths who
treat diseases are liable for damages
under the law; furthermore, that a
judgment has been rendered against
DR.. G. E. Still for malpractice. The
Courier is in receipt of marked copy
of the Journal of Osteopathy, stating
that these reports are wholly incor.
rect and requesting correction of the
same. The Journal presents the case
as follows:
about seven or eight years ago a
child by the name of Goldie Granger
was treated by DR.. G. E. Still for hin
disease. AS result of the ravages OF
this disease, the child was left with
some deformity which is the rule in
cases of this character. Several years
later the child's mother instituted suit
against DR.. Still, alleging that the
child was injured by the treatment
When the case came to trial in the
circuit court. 1t was dismissed by the
judge of the court after the plaintiffs
evidence had been introduced.
"The court held that the plaintiff
had failed to make a case, and that
the medical doctors who had testified
were not competent as they were from

sixth to the front. He told them they
had disgraced the army, that they
were dishonored forever, that he never
wanted to hear their names again ex-
cept among the roll Of the dead He
dismissed Count Orloff to Europe; he
broke the swords of the colonies and
dismissed them from the army on the
spot"
The question has been asked often
since the beginning of the war in
Manchuria, why is not more heard of
the successes of the Russian cavalry,
that branch of the army which was
thought to be SO superior to the cav
airy of all other nations?" Captain
Archibald answers this query as fol-
lows:
"The Russian cavalry is superb, but
it has been of little use, owing to the
mud and water of Manchuria The ar
tillery has 1000 yards greater range
than the Japanese guns. But the Jap
anese infantry is superior. The jap
anese go on dog trot and a regiment
in days march can cover about as
many miles as horse"

HOW HISTORY is MADE.

A new light is thrown upon the bat
tie of Lao Yang, which resulted in a
most decisive victory for the Japanese,
and according to the testimony of
Captain James F. G. Archibald, student
of military matters and correspondent,
it is merely a straw that turned the
scale against the Russians Captain
Archibald, in lecture delivered since
returning to America from the scene
OF the far eastern war, said:
Had not the Thirty-sixth regiment
in General Orloff's brigade broken at
the critical moment Lao Yang would
have been Russian victory. It was
not the regiments fault; panic may
come to any men. The Thirty-sixth
regiment had just been disembarked
from the cars. had never been under
fire and was hurried into the hottest
fire. They ran, just as New York reg.
iment ran at Santiago, and two days
later fought like mad.
''The japanese thrust into the
breach and broke the line. Kuropat-
kin was compelled to throw all his re-
serves into the fight to hold Kuroki
and then the battle gradually ceased
through exhaustion.
Cavalry Would Have Helped.
Had the Japanese had efficient cav
airy they could then have broken the
Russian army into pieces. But within
two days the Russians were again in
good order.

ments of Orloff together, the Thirty

John X. McKeough and he receives
SIS per month, though he is simply
an office boy Five years ago he went
to work in his present position and
was paid 81 per week. He was pleased
to receive an increase to $40 per
month soon after he had shown that
he was worthy of it. and since that
time his wages have been raised from
time to time because he did the work
that entitled him to more money.
Young McKeough is office boy in the
Offices of the board of education in Chi
cago. He is 10 years old and in the
last five years, according to the men
whose servant he is, he has never
made mistake. Said Superintendent
of Schools Cooley in telling newspa-
per reporter of the paragon: John is
a boy who has never made mistake
in all his service for the board. I
never have known him to do the
wrong thing nor anything that was
anything but the right thing"
But the real secret of the boys sue
cess, is his real willingness to work,
and to learn how to become of more
and more use to his employers. Super
intendent Cooley says: John is will
ing to work nights and holidays. A
great many acquisitions are handled
in this Office. 1t wasn't Johns work
to look after them, but he soon became
SO proficient that it became part of his
work to assist with that kind of work.
He learned to use the typewriter. The
knowledge has proved useful to him.
There is moral in the story of this
perfect office boy, a moral that men
and boys, old and young, may ponder
to their profit 1t is this: THE per-
feet performance of the duty before
you, no matter how small or how great
should be your first object; then look
for new duties and do them well.''
This, although he may not have
known it, has been the motto of John
McKeough for five years and he is
prof1ting by it and will continue to
profit as long as he keeps it before
him

a different school of practice than the
defendant. The case was appealed to
the supreme court.
The case was reversed on some tech
nicality and a new trial ordered, al
though the supreme court sustained
the opinion Of the circuit judge on the
ruling of the incompetency Of doctors
Of one school testifying against doc
tors of another as to proper treatment
wherein difference in their methods
Of treatment can be established. The
case will again come up for trial and
there is little doubt but that the re-
suit will be the same as at the first
trial--a verdict for the defendant.
The decision in no way affects the le-
gal status of osteopathy in Missouri,
anyhow that was never the point at
issue. Osteopathy is regulated by an
independent law in this state, and the
legal status of our science is just as
secure as that of the practice of med
icine."

NEITHER WAR NOR PEACE.

Minneapolis Tribune.-It begins to
look as if Russia could make neither
war nor peace. She cannot make war.
because she has neither army nor
generals. The official statement that
nearly 100000 men have been sent to
Manchuria, where Linevitch can now
muster only 100000, tells an awful
fighting material
The statement Is made by the Lon
don Times correspondent that only
$4,000 men can be sent to Linevitch
this summer, with which to stiffen his
demoralized army for retreat to
Siberia. This tells an awful story of
financial and military exhaustion at
home, of popular revolt against the
war and Of menace to the very Frame
demands all the armed forces Russia
can muster. An impending financial
panic demands all the monetary re-
sources she has boosted Of She can
make war no longer.
1t looks as if, in her stubborn and
blind pride, she had let the moment
for making peace pass Before Muk-
den Russia could have had terms pos
sible to satisfy however hard they
possible that the victor may demand
terms with Russia can no more
satisfy than she can send another
army to Manchuria Japan is entitled
to a great war indemnity, but what if
Russia cannot pay it? She has Dor
rowed her limit and to use her gold
reserve would ruin her internal
finance. France might pay it for her,
but France shows no disposition.
If the Japanese were in st. Peters,
burg Russia would have to find a way
to do the impossible. But she is not
at the mercy Of the conqueror except
as to a small part Of her empire, which
she gained by stealth and robbery. She
can abandon this as a detected and
overpowered thief drops his plumber.
That is to say, she can withdraw her
demoralized army from Manchuria
and leave the Japanese to take Sag
halien, Vladivostok and the Amur
country and capture, sink or destroy
the rest of her navy at their leisure
and convenience.
If Russia really cannot or will not
pay just war indemnity for peace.
there is nothing for it but to let her
Pacific empire go and stop the Siberian
railway at Lake Baikal.
