A physician has sent in his bill to the
estate Of Marshall Field for $4,000 for
one weeks attendance upon the
Chicago millionaire in the last brief
illness which closed his life. This
beats even the New York doctor who
recently charged $4,000 for carving
out the appendix Of famous pluto
crat and the $1,000 which a New York
dentist charged Prince Henry of Ger
many for filling a tooth. Such in
stances, of course. are a disgrace to the
medical and dental profession. There
is no defense for enormous charges by
a physician, merely because the patient
is rich. That rule does not hold good
elsewhere. How would the wealthy
doctor relish being charged twice or
thrice as much as ordinary folk for
beefsteak by his butcher. or eight or
ten times as much for gas? Would he
not howl with indignation at an in
creased special tariff for best seats at
the theater?- The trouble is that
great physicians and surgeons do not
count themselves as amenable to any
particular form of commercial law
They do magnificent work and deserve
high financial returns, but there are
limits above which charges become alb
surd extortion.

The Ice Habit.

This is the season of the year when

its consequent higher prices i'm the

The ice habit is too firmly fixed in the
daily life Of the American people to be
overcome by health arguments or even
by the more powerful argument of in
creased prices for ice.
One of the first things which strikes
foreign visitors to American shores
and which arouses their amused com
ment Is this prevalence Of the ice
habit. In Europe, even in the southern
part where summers are warmer than
ours, there are fewer pounds of ice
consumed than there are tons in this
country. Here the average citizen be-
gins his day with a glass Of water
and closes it with a pitcher of ice
water taken to his sleeping room at
bed time. 1t is significant that in
every hotel one touch of the electric
button-the quickest and easiest signal
that can be given-glways brings what
to an American is obviously the most
important of all things, namely, ice
water.
1t is easily shown by medical author
tiles that our extraordinary and
universal craving for ice water and for
iced beverages and iced food during
the hot months is detrimental to our
general health. To be sure these ice
cold drinks taste good when they are
poured down the throat upon n hot

The Biddeford Situation.
(Riddeford Journal.)

AS a matter of fact, there is pro-
badly less violation and notification of
the prohibitory law in Riddeford today
than in any other city of its size in
Maine, and those who charge other
wise either deliberately distort the
truth or they are blind to the evidence
of their own senses. Biddeford labors
under the disadvantage of numbering
among it's citizens few who. to
further their own selfish ends, or in an
attempt to dscredit the dominant
political party. do not hesitate to
exercise their best abilities for the
purpose of blackening Biddeford's
re putation in the outside world. They
talk of honesty and respect for law
as though they possessed those
qualities in large measure; as a
matter of fact they talk merely for
effect, for they are neither honest nor

The National Issue lnvoled.

The Republican party says that
.. Roosevelt is all right and claims an in
dorsement of him at the hands of the
people this fall so that his administra-
ton may be uplifted and strengthened
for its work in the future. Inasmuch
as the Democrats admit that he Is
right, the verdict is apt to be pretty
nearly unanimous City Jour-
nal.
Naturally enough the Democrats in
Maine as elsewhere will seek to dodge
the principal issue in the coming CAM
paigr, but they will not succeed in
binding voters to the fact that Theo-
dore Roosevelt and the administration
Of national affairs by Congress are
prominently involved in the voting. 1t
is Just as our Missouri contemporary
points out-this so-called loft year.
election Of congressman and of legisla-
lures which will elect 80 United States
senators should be an endorsement OF
the splendid record Of the administra-
ton at Washington. 1t should be so
in Missouri and in Maine and in every
other state. Every true Republican
wants it to be SO.
But the Democratic leaders in this
State will seek to avoid the discussion
of national issues and will protest that
such discussion should not figure in
the campaign preceding our September
election. Now. the Republicans Of
Maine gladly welcome a full and free
discussion of State issues. They point
with pride to the administration Of
they stand squarely upon every plank
in their platform. But they do not
propose to forget that more than the
election Of a Governor is involved in
this election, and more than the ques-
ton Of law enforcement or nullifica-
ton.
The country will watch Maine vote in
September, as it always does. for an in
dication of the popular sentiment
toward Tie HdtlOlldl oiit
the national issues of the day. Are we
proud of Roosevelt and do we propose
to back him up? Do we desire the
maintenance Of the protective tariff
and a continuance of the unprecedent
ed prosperity we have enjoyed under
this wise economic policy? Shall we
return to Washington that great ma
tional leader, Senator Frye, whose long
and brilliant service has reflected luster
on the name of our State? Are we to
be represented in Washington by the
congressional delegation whose eXcep-
tional distinction there and whose con-
slant usefulness to their constituents
every Maine man. regardless of party
affiliations, freely acknowledges? Is
Maine going to stand true to the Re-
publcanism of Lincoln and Hamlin,
Mckinley and Blaine, Roosevelt and
Cobb? Let the voters of Maine think
these things over during the coming
month and as our Missouri exchange
puts it, the verdict is apt to be pretty
nearly unanimous in the affirmative.
