Right thinking is the foundation OF

of which We. as human beings are
capable, We must firmly believe and
live up to our belief that we can

thought as well as our action; and that
We must control the mental pictures in
which we indulge as much as the words
which issue from our lips. As man

TOO MANY DOCTORS.

The overowding Of the medical
profession in Germany Is matter OF
grave concern. There are now in the
empire 5000 physicians, which doubles
the number found in 1879. In other
words, there is one physician in Ger
man for every l1oo inhabitants. In the
city Of Berlin al per cent of all the
physicians have an income Of less than
s7oo, and five per cent of the whole
number do not have a sufficient income
to return it for taxation. On the other
hand, in the legal profession in Ger.
many 50 per cent OF the lawyers have
an income exceeding $sooo. Il is esti'
mated that the preparation of man
for the duties of a physician in Ger
man costs about $1,000, and thus Il Is
seen that the income is often less than
10 per cent of the fixed charge of the
capital invested. This leaves practi.
eally nothing for the reward of his own
personal services, nor for wear and
tear.

STEPHEN S. WISE.

Rabbi Stephen S, Wise, of Portland
has wakened some of the Hebraic dead
in the effete East by promptly declin-
ing a call from the greatest temple
within the gift Of that people, in the
whole country, upon the ground that he
would preach only from an "unmuzzled
pulit.' Good for DR.. Wise! It Is =
pity there are not more like him in,
and out, of his faith. The idea of a
leader with "ring in his nose" is con-
temptible, and the men who give up
their lives to the tremendous task Of
guiding men and women to the heights
Of wisdom and virtue and right living,
should be, beyond all others, free from
the restraints of eliquery and claquery
and answerable only for the sin Of
transgressing the law of morals. The
dostrinal law can take care of itself
and viii do so, just as it has for the
unnumbered centuries it has contended
for existance. Such manliness as his,
in boldly standing for an unfettered
expression Of the best that is in him
to do and say for the real good Of the
people, is a monumental example that
many another pastor might well follow.
Unhappily, the pulpits Of the country
are dominated by the influential few Of
the congregations, and the men who
are supposed to teach, direct, care for
and pilot the erring, sustain and help
the strong, and do for all, what the
Master did for the world Of men, are
hampered at every turn of their careers
by the limitations set up for them by
people they are supposed to govern
under the code Of morality and the
ethics of religious life. 1t is a pity
there are not more preachers with the
backbone OF Rabbi Wise. The pulpit
might be far more potential than il is,
and the churches have less to complain
of by way Of attendance and support.
There are exceptions to this course Of
restriction, certainly, but they are won
derfully in the minority considering |
the vastness Of the profession and the
infinite scope of its calling in this
world.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Morning
Post is continuing its agitation in
favor Of circumseribing the activities oI
American life insurance companies il
Great Britain by rules OF the most
stringent character. For the past few
days the paper has devoted considerable
space in its editorial columns to criti'
eism and suggestions, and In its most
recent attack IL advocates the election
Of an English man to the presidency OF
the Mutual company, In this connee'
tion il says;
The British policyholders In the
Mutual number apparently nearly
thirty thousand, and their interests
must be protected. We hold that the
iirst step to be aiken is a thorough es'
animation Of the Mutuafs books by u
reputable firm of English accountants,
and that for the future English policy
holders should be represented by at
least one director on the board. II has
recently been suggested in our columns
that the liabilities incurred to British
policyholders should be mathematically
valued by independent British actu'
aries, and sufficient sum In good Sc
eurites, not necessarily British, de.
posted in the name OF British trustees
to meet those liabilities thus ascertain
ed and that this deposit should be 'ad'
justed year by year as an annual valua'
tion might require The suggestion
which has already been incorporated in
the French insurance law, j., In our
opinion, an excellent one.
"But no regulations vii be Of much
avail unless the new president OF the
society Is a man OF character and one
who is already known TO and trusted
by the British policyholders. All agree
in praising the personal qualities and
business capacities Of d. G. Haldeman,
the Mutuars general manager in Eng.
land. Were Mr.. Haldcman to succeed
TO the presidency Of the company he
would carry TO the discharge Of his
duties a reputation untainted by what
the American journals call McCurdy'
ism. proved administrative capacities
based on a thorough knowledge Of the
business, and, what in our opinion Is
most important Of all, the confidence
and esteem Of British polieyholders,
who at present are without either voice
or influence in New York. That also,
we believe, Is a suggestion which the
American officers Of the company will
find II TO their interest 10 take into CON
sideration. Nothing at any rate could
DO more harm TO the company in Brit
ish opinion han that the new president
should be an unknown man or an out.
sider ignorant Of insurance problems or
a man who was suspected OF being
closely allied with Wall Street"
