in this great land of ours. New
York, Philadelphia, and Boston,
with their boosted superiority in
philanthropy, science, and art, had
a shock when they first knew that
amid the sand storms of the desert
a hospital had been erected that is
destined to revolutionize the con-
struction of all of the hospitals of
the world. In not less than five
vital phases does this hospital lead
the world, but one will suffice by
way of illustration and suggestion.
For the first time there was here
built a large hospital of two or
more stories without an elevator or
stairs Attendants go from base
ment to top floor, and patients are
carried from the street to any room
in the vast building, or walk from
bottom to top without the jar of a
stair step, never so light-A. E.

facts from her fellow-workers and
from the children. and those facts
were interpreted In the light of her
daily life for years back. a life full
of self-sacrifice. and firm but kindly
control Of the children committed to
her care.
Such presence of mind In a great
leader of men would call for i'm
mortal fame; in a school teacher it
is passed over In a hurried story
in a newspaper. But the essential
elements Of heroism and bravery
are there. and the nobility that fails
of celebration in song and history
is none the less nobility Of a high
order.
Our school system has been criti-
cised because of the preponderance
Of the female element among our
teachers. Pray, learned gentlemen,
could any Of the sterner sex die more
heroically than did this woman I?
Will the example she set in the very
article of death weaken the minds
Of her pupils. or will it teach them
self-sacrifice, presence Of mind, self

Becoming CleaIer.

In bis speech in Raleigh yesterday
the President made his attitude upon
the regulation of railway rates some
what clearer, as to details, than ever
before. He did not insist upon giving
extra powers to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, but spoke of an
administrative body; he expressed
the hope that any law passed upon
the subject give the administrative
body" power to prescribe what books,
and what books only. shall be kept
by railroads. and make them liable
to examination by official expert ac-
countants at any and all times, and
as a matter of right.
With regard to the necessity for
an administrative body, either the
Interstate Commerce Commission or
some other, as distinguished from a
railway court, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
We must not leave the enforce
ment Of such a law merely to the
Department Of Justice; 1t is out of
the question for the law department
Of the Government to do. what should
be purely administrative work. .
The delays Of the law are proverbial,
and what we need In this matter is
reasonable Quickness of action"
The suggestion that the affairs
of all railways doing an interstate
business be subject to expert investi-
cation, as are the national banks, is,
In our opinion, the most useful re-
suit of the present agitation. Pub
iicity, the impossibility of hiding
Determinations. rebates, and unjust
charges, would largely do away with
those evils.
