JAPANESE MEDICAL METHODS.
From Kansas City Star.

LA6AAoeLs lily 1NdAa
It must be admitted that Mr..
Takika was uncomfortably close to
the truth in his remarks at the Uni
Yersity club yesterday that "Our medi-
cal department marches in front Of
the army and yours marches behind"
The japanese told DR.. Louis L. Sea
man, who served as a volunteer sur
geon IN the Spanish war, that in en-
tering upon the struggle with a num-
erically superior foe they counted on
the inef1ciency Of the Russian medi-
cal department as one Of their chief
allies.
They knew the excessive proportion
of deaths caused by disease and by re-
latiyely unimpOrtant wounds in all
modern wars, and they calculated
that if they could eliminate unneces-
sary fatalities they could fight Russia
on fairly even terms. How nearly
they succeeded in accomplishing their
purpose the world fully understands
Their record, cOntrasted with that
Of the United States in the minor war
with Spain, is not pleasant to cOntem-
plate. and though America, after the
lesson Of 1898. has made improve
ments, the medical corps can hardly
be sanguine Of the outcome in another
war. For congress so far has failed
10 recognize the magnitude OF the
problem and 10 provide adequate
equipment for its solution
Since his return from the seat OF
war in the far east, Dr. Seaman has
been unsparing in his censure OF the
American neglect Of the medical de-
partment in the face of the impressive
demonstration Of its Importance in
Manchuria- At the time Of his re-
turn from China last summer the
army had no medical observer in the
field, though il was repre- serted by
half a dozen military attaches, includ-
ing one TO study the unimpOrtant Jap
anese cayIry operations Later, how
ever, at least one member Of the med
ical corps was sent out, Colonel HUFF,
who was stationed at Fort Leayen-
worth.
But the United States. it must be
confessed, still has something to learn
from the nation which it has always
indulgentIy regarded as its precOciOus
pupil.

The State Journal says that z. S

panied by a translation. 1t was a
long and elaborate power of attorney

Of the secretary Of state throws some
illumination on the extent Of Turk

went to the governor, who has to

PROFITS OF THE PACKERS.

In his Postscript to The Great

TENDER EverybOdy's, Mr.. Charles Ed
ward Russell asks:
If the packers profits were small
and their business unproductive
would they now be defending those
profits and that business with the
most elaborate. intricate. and costly
system OF espionage and influence
ever known in commerce. If their
profits were small, could they make
those mOnstrous investments in stock
yards and packing plants that have
given them the sole cOmamnd Of
every cattle market in American II
their profits were small would they
continue to extend and amplify their

with which they have bought rail-

figures OF profit given by M Garfield

A New Switch Invention From Texas
Captain NJ NJ Fitzgerald, United

switch that gives promise OF revOlu-

switching. 1t consists OF a sweIled
rail connecting the switch rail with

stationary, requiring no other care or
attention It can be used in trans

Wichita Judge Gives a Decision Which
VIII Please Hunters
Judge Dyer Of Wichita has decided
that the state game and fish law is
constitutional and that those who VIC
late it can be sentenced The case in
which the decision has been rendered
IS the first which has come up under
the new law It was cOntended that
the law was unconstitutional. This
was the first question. Then it was
asked if the hunter was obliged to get
the written permission OF the property
owners on both sides Of the road in
case a man was hunting turtle doves
which always feed in the country
roads
The rural question was whether the
hunters could shoot along the country
roads without written permission OF
the property owners on both sides Of
the road.
This is the first time that the law
has been questioned and it viii be of
interest to the really honest hunters
to know that the law is good and that
the pot hunters Will be prosecuted for
violation Of the law.

peace were agreed upon by Mr..
Wjtte and Baron Komura at the

work of framing the "Treaty of

ese foreign Office. The treaty is ex

For the sake of peace Japan,
with the magnanimity of the victor
at the last moment, yielded every
thing in issue. Russia refused to

Roosevelt. No indemnity under

panese met the ultimatum of the
czar and abandoned their demands
for imbursement for the cost of
the war and for the repurchase of
the northern part of the leland of
