FROM A JUNIOR MEDIC

The Students Side Of the Hospital Fee
80 :, +, Question, ..,.
To the Editor Of The Journal.
For several days T h e J ou n q has
been printing articles In regard to the
difficulties, real or imaginary, that have
arisen since the junior medics Of the Uni.
versity Of Minnesota refused to pay the
fees exacted by the St. Paul city and
county hospital for clinics. =, -,
The subject has been pretty thoroly
aired as far as the standpoint Of the hos
pital authorities Is concerned, and 1t is
only fair, so long as the general public
have heard one side Of 1t, that they also
hear our side Of the question. 49,:
In our junior year, so far, we have
been accorded no privileges in this insti-
tuition which have been denied us In the
Minneapolis city hospital; in other words,
one has been as valuable to us as the
other, and as they both are public In
situations supported by the taxpayers, I
will use them for comparison. :. ~.
We have put these institutions to no
actual expense and whatever trouble, we
may have caused them has been infini-
tesinaal and no greater than that expert
enced by the many private hospitals of
both cities which have SO kindly thrown
open their doors to us; Of them all, the
lefty and county Is the only one which
demands fee for their clinics.
The statement Of st. Paul man ap-
pearing in your columns tonight that
"the amphitheater was designed for our
accommodation and the fees exacted dc
not pay for it's maintenance" or words
to that effect, Is simply ridiculous Wher
one takes into consideration the fact thai
the "amphitheater'' and the operating
room are all one and the same thing anc
that it Is maintained" by the nurses
who receive no pay. AS far as the "hos,
pitfalls in other cities" which exact fees
from students are concerned, any state
ment as to their character, whether pub
lie or private, was carefully avoided. Thu
reason for this is plain, for should tn.
list be made public, + have no doub
whatever but that it would comprise pri
vate institutions solely. ~
In our senior year, our clinics at tn,
| lefty and county in the contagious
wards and autopsy rooms necessitate tn
use of caps, gowns, aprons, towels, etc.
all of which are furnished by the hos
pital; here Is an actual expense, and 70
this we are quite willing to pay. In thi
case a fee is just and perfectly fair; W
realize this and when the time comes 70
it's assessment, we will act accordingly.
I am surprised and sorry to see tn
threatening attitude taken by the hos
pital board of control in regard to thei
selection Of internes a year from thi
coming spring. It indicates an unhapp
frame Of mind and. to say the least, mar
rowness which seems incompatible an
rather homogeneous in men whose reputa
tons for fairness and justice in all othe
branches Of business are well established

South Side Commercial Club Does Not

South Side Commercial Club Does Not
H. = Speak for All.
10 the Editor Of The journal.
The sentiment Of the vast majority Of
the people living on the lower or south
side Of the Milwaukee tracks is by no
means that Of the South Minneapolis
Commercial club as just expressed,
which bitterly condemns the raising Of
the tracks, or even disturbing the exist
ing conditions. "a.
Business interests are put forward by
the club as the controlling factor in the
case. But is there not a far more i'm
portant side? What about the question
of safety to human life? Is this not
really the great question at stake?
Human life has already been sacrificed
owing to the existence Of these deadly
grade crossings. Why not remove them
altogether and thus insure absolute
safety for the future7
It will also be seen that the people
living on the lower or south side Of the
tracks are, as a matter of fact, much
grade crossings than their neighbors on
the opposite side who do not have to
cross and recross the tracks nearly as
often in their daily business. The danger
Ito the one Is only seldom or remote;
to the other it Is ever present or
nearly so. : &c.,.
! Again, to the parents living on the
south side Of the tracks it Is a source
Of anxiety to have their little ones cross
the tracks alone, as they frequently do
: in attending school or church, lest in
some, unlucky moment they are run down
and mangled to death by passing trains
or locomotives, as was the case only last
year, when a 12-year-old school girl was
killed by the cars at the Twenty second
street grade crossing of the Milwaukee
road. - :st.ser,.+-
| Can it be possible that the Commercial
fclub Of South Minneapolis, having 50 re-
cent a. tragedy as this in mind, not to
I mention others, could calmly advocate
and say. to the people Of South Mime
Eapolis, hands off, leave the grade cross
ings alone; business interests demand
that they be left unmolested?' Bust
mess interests are all good and well,
but they must give way when it becomes
a question Of protecting individual life
and safety. .:->.t >'-.
It is therefore to be hoped that the
citizens Of South Minneapolis will view
the matter in this light and go slow be-
fore affixing their. signatures to any
petition asking that these grade cross
/ ings be left as they are at present.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT
An American In China Declares 1t Has
Only Begun.


Only Begun.
To the Editor of The Journal. = 4
In an issue about the boycott in T h e
J ourna Jan. 10 1t was stated that
many were saying that the boycott was
finished. Far from it; it is only getting
interesting now, but certain people wish
to push it up as much as possible.
OF course at Shanghai they have been
quiet, not because they want to, but be-
cause there are too many guns laying
idle. But at Canton and inland the boy
colt is still going on. An American
missionary only about month ago
started from Canton to go his rounds,
which took him up around Tam Shut,
about 200 miles from Canton. He usually
carried about fifteen boxes Of books and
other things with him. When near Tam
Shut he went ashore from his 11ouseboat
to sell some of these. He sold three
books, where before he could sell from
thirty to fifty. He was yelled at, and
at last told to return to Canton or If
he didn't he would not be able to shortly
He also had a recall from Canton, so
thought it best to return.
This mans name Is DR.. Mcfarland, or
Mr.. Mcfarland, I am not certain which.
Another incident happened only a few
days ago to a man who is doing great
good for the Chinese-Dr. Butte. He
and Mrs. Butte were in bed about II
o'clock at night when their house was
broken into by armed men. The house
was robbed of everything Of value. This
was in Canton. DR.. and Mrs. Butte have
been at work curing lepers; they did this
unpleasant work for almost nothing. This
is the thanks they get from towards.
Then ask If the boycott and outrages
are still going on In China! Yes, I say,
and they will continue to go on until
Uncle Sam dusts their trousers.
Ask the Standard Oil how much 1t lost
in it's dealings with Canton people? Ask
it how it filled it's warehouse with cases
of oil when always before all oil was
| bought almost from the junks which
brought 1t. Ask It why it stopped run
ming four junks which formerly carried
| from 5000 to 10000. tins of Oil each, and
now run only one, which carries only
about 5000 or 5000 cases. They have
lost more than one good fortune for mer

Tell me, clerical critics, why the devil

but the common heart throbbed, and the

Canton is one Of the most anti-foreign
