Our Optimism DepiOred.

Prof Felix Adler, in his first fall ad-
dress to the Society for Ethical Culture,
spoke of the Present Moral Crisis in
American Life" and referred to the re-
cent mass of exposed depravity in public
life. He said that the humiliating fact
was that the men high in state and church
were those chiefly guilty. One thing, he
said, was almost pathetic, namely, the
persistence of editors writer's and speak
ers, when some heartrending revelation
has been made" in affirming that the
people have the power and ability to set
things right. For his part he has no
faith in the fatalism that where the
masses rule somehow things will come out
right. Speaking of the Democratic plat
form demand in New York, that the
fruits of labor of right belong to the
laborer," he asks how it is possible for
this to be done under our present factory
system, and insists on the need of new
laws and new principles upon which to
settle those problems.

DR.. A. r. Mitchell. surgeon for the
Rock Island railroad, speaking before the
Chicago convention of railway surgeons,
said that the prevailing popular tendency
to wage war on wealth and corporations
was a form Of neurasthenia, which sweeps
over the country like an epidemic. He
said the power which had enabled the few
to profit at the expense Of the many was
the fault of the many. He showed that
men were led emotionally into destructive
methods, consequently the lobbies main
tanned by corporations in different capi-
tails were necessary to their self-preserva-

SMALLPOX IN PHILIPPINES.
Disease Almost Entirely Eradicated
by Vaccination.

The records of the bureau of health at
Manila show that within the last twelve
months 213,000 have been vaccinared by
officials and many more by private physi-
clans. When it is remembered that Ma
nila's population is not more than 220,-
600, it can be understood why, in the
year ended Dec. 81, 1904, there were only
q deaths from smallpox. Ten of the q
were Europeans or Americans who had
neglected or avoided vaccination.
During the Spanish regime a law ex-
isted making vaccination compulsory, but
the chief good which resulted from the
law was that the people became accus-
toned to its existence on the statute books
and did not greatly object to it or strenu-
ously resist it's application at the hands
IF the Americans. In a few provinces diff
fculties were met. In these cases vacci-
nators were at once withdrawn and the
pueblos left to themselves. Within six
months the contrast between the vacci-
mated and unvaccinated pueblos was so
marked that the chief men of the object
ing municipalities requested the vaccina-
tors to return.
AS smallpox is both epidemic and pan
demic in the Philippines, the necessity for
a division of vaccination in the board of
health is very great. The original plan
was to organize a corps of 800 vaccina-
tors. That number was considered neces-
sary in order to vaccinate the inhabitants
of the islands within three years. Owing
to the depleted condition of the insular
treasury, the commission has been unable
to authorize the employment of so large
number, and with the small number of
men available the question arises whether
vaccination will not have to be practiced
continuously for many years in order to
immunize the 100000 inhabitants who
are now in those islands and their off
spring as it arrives.

he sat as an ex-officio Judge of the
Criminal Court.
Probably the most notable utterance
by Judge Gary was that on the sen.
fencing Of the anarchists, some Of
whom were hanged Nov. II, 1887. He
said in part:

sent that by violence and murder those

homes despOiled and their property de-.

to protect and sustain their institutions
and to punish all offenders against thei1

leading to destruction whoever may at
tempt to execute such threats.

Mrs. Sally Morris Corey had some real
iy refreshing things to say to the club
women who attended the meeting of the
Society for Political Study at New York.
One was that woman must be either a

club woman. She said that the business
woman was all right if she was one, but
that too many made a pretense Of busi-
ness, hoping to secure notice or make a
match. She compared the nineteenth cen
tury mother and homemaker with the up
to-date college girl pursuing q foreign
title e-"neglectful mothers of unwished-

bership in Germany, issued by Pastor
Schneider of Elberfeld. as translated and
reviewed by the Literary Digest, shows
that the number of conversions from the

is considerably greater than those who
have gone from the Protestant ranks into

church in Germany became Protestants

Vaccination for Germ Diseases

Sir Almeroth E. Wright, the noted Lon
don physician, who is credited with the
discovery of the opsonic index, which
indicates the power of the blood to de-
stroy diseased germs, is now visiting in
this country, and recently delivered an
address at the Philadelphia College OF
Physicians. He said he had reached the
conclusion, after much experimentation
that meteorological inoculation is the
best means to fight any disease that owes
its inception to germs not excepting even
tuberculosis The general plan of treat
ment is the same with that as with other
diseases. After the opsonic test on the
patients blood the vaccine is introduced
into the body until the blood is sufi
GENTLY strengthened to throw off its i'm
Durities.

tuition is to be paid for on the basis of
So per point, a point meaning the sue
cessful completion of work one hour a
week for half year. This would make
the total course for the three years
amount to $500, except where deduction
is made for scholarship. Any students
who are credited with d points may re-
ceive one point extra toward a higher de-
gree. Thus it will be possible for STU
dent to get twelve extra credits in three
years and for this $50 will be deducted
from his tuition. On the other hand stu
dents lose So for every course in which
they fail and the fee for delinquent ex-
aminations is So.
