PRECEDENCE IN WASHINGTON.

Hardly a year passes in which dis pute does not arise in Washington as to questions that have relative value in the eyes of the cultivated, but causes IineXtingquishabIe laughter in the uniti- ated What difference does it make whether the dean of the diplomatic corps is received before the secretary of the department of the interior on New Years Day by the president? asks the man in the remote settlement. as he dips his hand into the prunes at the cross roads grocery shop and sends his tobacco juice at the stovepipe with unerring aim. What difference does it make whether there Is a New Years reception or whether there are ann
 bassadors or ministers or any cere- monial or order of any kind? None, in the opinion of the half-civilized cit
 izen who eats his pie as he pleases and yet who grows hot under the collar if the flag is not publicly respected. He does not realize that official eti- quette is one of the means by which his country is made respectable in the eyes of men who know the value of symbols Ceremony has it's value. Life is sometimes made easier and more comfortable by recognizing this;
 in Washington, where it holds It's legit- innate place, complicated knots are, by the aid of common sense and good feel ing, often cut to the satisfaction of all concerned. Difficulties in precedence that would break the heart of a Span ish grandee are arranged in the twink ling of an eye; and. as it is admitted that the capital is becoming the most educative of our cities. let us admit, too. that one of it's educational ad- vantages is the lesson of restraint. ret icence and politeness which IL offers.

We Don't Want the Islands.

Perhaps the minds of many captious folk will be made easier when they read the note written by Secretary Hay to the Haitian minister in Washing ton. In this letter Secretary Hay sets at rest the silly rumors that the ad- ministration was seeking to annex both Haiti and San Domingo, or some thing else in that line. The secretary does not write at length. but what he does say is direct and to the point. There is no evasion and no room left for doubt. Here Is the major portion of his note:
 'Tt gives me pleasure to assure you that the government of the United States of America has no intention of annexing either Haiti or Santo Do- mingo., and no desire of acquiring pos session of them, either by force or by negotiation, and that, even if the citi- zens of either of these republics should solicit incorporation into the Ameri- can union, there would be no inclina- ton on the part of the national gov ernment, nor in the sphere of public opinion, to agree to any such pro- posal."
 No explanation is necessary with these statements. They stand forth as meaning just exactly what they say. Nevertheless there seems to be a fear largely in the democratic breast that the pending treaty with San Do- mingo would, in the event of its rati- fication, mark an opening for further work of the same character. Fear is

expressed that if the United States Is to assume the role of helping -repuh- lies to the south liquidate their debts there will be no end to such work. This is based upon the supposltion that foreigners will be willing to take chances with the republics and per init them to become involved in debt which the United States will perforce assume to collect.
 Nevertheless when some foreign war ships star,ed to lombard a section of Venezuela the people of the United intervention of this country was not questioned. The manner in which the Venezuela debt issue was settled was accepted as right and proper and in full accord with the Monroe doctrine. and the policy of this country in it's role of protector for the weak repub lies.
 Now San Domingo has asked the United States to help it settle it's finances in order to avoid the possibil-
  of war ships. The United States has agreed so far as the president is con -cerned. to perform that friendly duty. But Secretary Hay wants 1t understood at once that nothing further is intend ed, and that nothing else is to follow. So far as the democratic dread of the Roosevelt doctrine" goes 1t Is a mere bit of of political buncombe. If We are to hold fast to the principles of the Monroe doctrine there is no reason why that doctrine should not be de- fined and fully understood and laid down for the guidance of presidents yet to come. We might as well have the courage to officially formulate the Monroe idea, with necessary later-day amendments. and be done with 1t.

LIFE HANGS ON THE MINUTES.

Time saving is one of the most inn portant considerations in all surgery. Any major operation lasting more than an hour and a half entails additional risk; in operations of long duration the chances of recovery are compara- lively small. This is due to shock, to the cumulative effect of the anesthetic to loss of blood and to the lowering of the patients temperature by the eX- posture of internal areas to the air. Be- cause of this the best surgeons work with a mechanical precision and econ omy of movement. Everything is ready before the operation commences; an assistant is at hand to look after the details of actual work. such as hold ing back the edges of the incision, ad- justing the ligatures. etc; an expert on anesthesia handles the chloroform and watches the subjects pulse and respiration, in order that the operators time may be devoted wholly to one point. and a delft nurse, adept in the use of every instrument, needle and chemical preparation, is at the sur geOn's elbow ready to hand out at a word, sometimes before the word, the shining implements already filed in the order of their probable use.
 Two visiting surgeons. at one of the New York hospitals got a marked varying percentage of mortality in a common abdomial operation.
 What is the difference between the two operators?" I asked of one of the house staff in attendance.

In the death at Washington yester- day of United States Senator William Brimage Bate of Tennessee, Arizona lost consistent friend and the union an able and valuable senator. Sena- tor Bates life was full of years, and full of honor. Born in October 1926, his span of life covered almost four score years. He was one of the ma jorgenerals of the confederacy, and was one of the south's most gallant soldiers. Three times dangerously wounded. he did not leave the colors until the Army of Tennessee surren-
 dered in 1865. He held numerous civil offices, the most distinguished among them being governor of his state and United States senator. He entered the senate in 1ss7-nearly twenty years ago-and during his long service at the national capitol he was an honor to- his state and to the nation. He was a typical gentleman of the old south, and

More Work for the President.

A plain line is drawn between the | functions of the various departments of the government, but the line is not rigid one. Whenever an influence of exceptional strength or of exceptional weakness Is felt in any department. the public power adjusts itself accord ingly. and the public interest profits thereby. Thus we have noticed at times that the lower house of con- gress seems to gain authority at the expense of the senate, and again the upper house seems to regain prestige and power. In the course of one ad- ministration, the president appears to relinguish Q part of his authority into the hands of congress, and another president makes his influence felt far beyond the lines that are drawn to limit the scope of presidential action. At the present time the tendency is towards an increase in the presidential power, and it is a noteworthy fact that this increase is coming not so much as a result or any effort on the part of the president. as it is from the disposi- tion of congress to put larger amount of power and responsibility upon him. In numerous recent instances the president has been authorized to do things which under other conditions would have been delegated to special officials appointed by congress. A fur ther illustration of the same tendency is afforded by the adjournment of con- gress without taking positive action in regard to several important matters that are no win the hands Of the pres ident. Possibly it was not the delib- crate intention of congress to turn these things over to the president. but there doubtless was a feeling that they were being we'll looked after, and that no great harm would result if the chieI executive were allowed to continue with free hand
 This is notably the case in the mat ters of the government of the Panama canal zone, and the administration of the finances of San Domingo. With a different president. the senate would not have allowed things to remain as they are. and this would have been true whether the president was one that steadily sought to gain a large measure of power. or one that was less successful in the discharge of public duties. But President Roosevelt neith- CT seeks authority nor shuns it and the uniform success with which he has met all the emergencies with which he is confronted, encourages the belief that he will not fail to fulfill the ex- pectations of those that have conn- dence in him.
 The senate in the case of the arbitra- tiOn treaties has shown that it is not disposed to give up any part of the constitutional authority with which it is vested. watchful and jealous con- gress and an able president vested with large amount of discretion constitute condition that is very favorable to the welfare of the country.

The Osler Joke.

Is the much vaunted American sense of humor a myth. after all? From one end of the country to the other dis cussion still rages over Dr. Osler's all legged dictum that men past 40 are be- low par in usefulness and men past 60 should be chloroformed. The subject is treated as seriously as the national platform of a political party-and all this noise and excitement goe5 on undi- unfinished notwithstanding the protests publicly made by Dr. Osler when he returned to his home at Baltimore, that his remarks were intended to be humorous and ironical When Amer ica's most celebrated physician takes his place at the head of the medical college of Oxford university he may be tempted to say to the faculty and stu dents: "Gentlemen, I am able too add a mite to the worlds stock of knowl- edge One of our most cherished be- liefs in America is that you English men and Scotchmen cannot take a joke unless a diagram accompanies the same. I have learned to my sor- row that my countrymen require not only a diagram, but plans and speci- fications and footnotes by the author of an alleged piece of humOr."
 Americans have learned, in a general way, not to take after-dinner oratory seriously, but Dr. .Osler caught them mapping. Immediately after the doc tors remarks startled the country. The Republican pointed out that he was undoubtedly joking, but We continue 10 receive communications taking a different view, and the columns of the metropolitan dailies exhibit an aval- anche of letters from their readers, in sisting that Johns Hopkins university and the medical profession have been disgraced by the brutal remarks of Dr. Osler. A moments thought should have been sufficient to convince every body that such an idea would not have been advanced 'in earnest" by a man whose own career utterly disproves the proposition that all the important work in the world is accomplished by men under 40. Dr. Osler himself is nearer the age of 60 than he likes to contemplate. and yet he has just been engaged by the greatest university in the old world to expound the science and philosophy of medicine to the stu dents of Europe.
 It all goes to prove that the physi- clan, of all men, cannot afford to joke in public. A doctors jokes must be confined to the walls of a sick room, if he would escape misunderstanding and calumny. The world expects a doctor to be serious, and he must fill the bill, No matter how much fun may bubble within him, he fails at his peril to suppress all tendencies to humor It is one of the penalties he must pay for taking up the yoke of servitude in behalf of suffering hu- manity. The ailing man or woman has a distorted idea of humor anyhow. and after we get well we can't appre- ciate how a doctors bill can emanate from a man who has any fun in him.

How often do we hear women say: Ut seems as though my back would break, 7" or Don't speak to me, am all out of sOrts?" These significant remarks prove that the system requires attention.
 Bacl1ache and !" the blues" are direct symptoms of an inward trouble which will sooner or later declare itself. It may be caused by diseased kidneys or some uterine derangement. Nature requires assistance and at once, and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women. It has been the standby of intelligent American women for twenty years. and the ablest specialists agree that it is the most universally success ful remedy for woman's ills known to medicine.
 The following letters from Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among the many thousands which Mrs. Pink ham has received this year from those whom she has relieved.
 Surely such testimony is convincing.
 Mrs. J. G. Holmes, of Larimore, North Dakota, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 '' l have suffered everything with backachs and womb troubie-I let the trouble run on until my system was in such condition that l was unable to be about, and then it was l commenced to use Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege- table Compound. If I had only known how much suffering would have saved, should have taken it months sooner-for a few weeks treatment made me well and strong. My backaches and headachesare all gone and l suffer no pain at my menstrual periods. whereas before took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound suffered intense pain"
