Municipal Enterprises
In Old Vienna
Special Correspondence Of The Star.


VIENNA, July TO- 1907.
Municipalization, which socialists say is
merely socialism masquerading as some
thing else, is Carried further here than in
any other city on the continent Not con-
tent with buying out the principal under
taking companies and monopolizing the
funeral business. the city authorities have
gone step farther They have introduced d
system OF burial insurance by which
folk will be able to shuttle off this mortal
coil without putting their relatives to any
expense. The premiums are so graded
that the insured can arrange for simple
or stylish obsequies, cheap or dear graves
a plain headstone or a monument, the in
scription on which he may himself select
If he desires it. by paying an additional
sum, he may enjoy the felicity of knowing
that for all future time his grave will be
kept green.
All this is to be carried out through the
medium of the Emperor Francis Joseph
Jubilee Life Insurance Company. an insti-
tuition which forms yet another department
OF the city's municipal activity. The in
surance covering funerals and graves will
be divided into ten classes, the monthly
premiums which will range from 4C
hellers g cents to kronen G1.sO.
The insured must be between the ages of
eighteen and fifty, in good health and not
engaged in any dangerous occupation. In
the event of death occurring within six
months from the date of insurance the
policy will be void and the premiums will
be returned. Separate insurances must
be effected for monuments. the premiums
for which will range from one kronen
GO cents) to sixteen kronen $3.50 a
month. And finally by payment of a capi-
tai sum the company will agree to keep
graves in order and to decorate and H.
illuminate them on the feast of All Souls
in every year. so long as the cemetery is
In existence.
This latest venture in the field Of munich
pal enterprise is interesting for the various
burial societies already formed in the city
And 1t also promises to be interesting for
the monumental masons. AS the city now
owns extensive stone quarries, 1t is thought
not unlikely that its next step will be to
engage In the business Of manufacturing
and erecting funeral monuments.

Now how much better off are We by this
piece Of legislation?
This new law provides as a condition of
probation:
Il. Total abstinence from intoxcants.
'2. Abstention from association with un-
desirable companions and from frequenting
undesirable places.
g. Probation officers publicly appointed
and paid who must make periodical visits
and reports to the court.
-. Saves the recording Of a conviction
Zone conviction debars from entry into the
army. navy or civil service.
None Of the foregoing are specifically
and definitely provided for under existing
laws, and being now go provided for there
is little doubt that magistrates will exer-
else these powers very fully. This new law
goes even further than the Pollard plan
on points 2, and 4. The Pollard plan also
is one-man plan. but is is now the ac-
cepted plan of the English government and
about to be made statute law Of the land
Surely great tribute to America. No
doubt we shall have to bring pressure to
bear upon magistrates in some places to
apply the method. but public opinion will
soon be educated up to It, Remember every
temperance organization in This country is
behind it and there is a power there that
cannot for long be resisted"

British Government Adopts
American Judges Plan
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star
LONDON. July II. 1907.
I CDGE Jefferson w. Pollard of st.
Louis has received a great compli-
= ment from the British government.
What is known as the Pollard plan of deal
ing with inebriates who get arrested has
been adopted by the liberal administration.
With some additions 1t has been incorpor-
ated in the governments probation Of Of
tenders bill. AS the liberals have big
majority in parliament it Is sure to go
through.
This is the direct result Of Judge Pol
lard's visit here last summer. He came on
a pleasure trip, but the temperance folk
got hold of him and kept MIN busy ex-
pounding his method Of dealing with
"drunks" who came before mis- court. He
addressed meetings in several big cities
explained his system to magistrates in va
rious parts of the country who were in
vited to meet him. and discussed 1t with
members Of parliament who were specially
Interested in temperance legislation. All
this produced a boom for the Pollard plan
1t consists, as is of course we'll known in
America. in allowing a person who has
got into trouble through drink to go free
on his own recognizance to come up for
judgment If called upon, provided he takes
q pledge not to drink for a year. He is
kept under observation during that period
! and II he falls to stick to his promise he
receives the full maximum punishment for
the offense for which he was arrested in
the first place.
But despite the enthusiasm aroused for
the Pollard plan and the demonstrated fu-
tility Of the ordinary method Of filming or
, imprisoning drunkards, English magistrates
| We're very slow to try 1t. They are most Of
them tory squires, conservative to the
, backbone. and above all things averse to
any change that might put them to any
additional trouble. 1t Is much easier to
fine a drunkard few shillings or send him
to Jail for a few days than to get him to
sign the pledge and see to it that he
keeps it. The Pollard plan, an entirely
voluntary plan, without any law back of It,
may be said to have failed because of the
| lack of men of the Pollard type on the Eng
| lsh bench.

MO Fish TRUST.

In these days of trust busting the

attention TO one alleged trust that has

THE IMMIGRATION RUSH.

The official figures which are just at
hand show that during the fiscal year
1907, ended June 80, all immigration
records were again broken. During
the year 1,2S5, 1894 aliens were landed in
this country, as compared with 1,100,-
375 for the fiscal year 1906 Thus the
gain was something like 6 per cent
over 1866, which year was Ear ahead
Of any previous year. The statistical
details have not yet been finished so
that it is not possible to state the
nationality, the sex, age and other de-
tails
1t is known, however, that the
greater part of the total, the exact
figure being 743, 952, came during the
last six months of the year, which was
spending period in 1906 AS showing
the operations Of cur national irnmi-
grafton laws it may be said that only
1862 of the arriving immigrants were
turned back to the ports from which
they sailed. Practically all of them
were excluded because of some physi-
cal defect.
The statement is made that Russia
sent more immigrants than any other
European country. the total from that
land being 1S2,1S5, for the last six
months of the year. This is at the
rate of more than $50, 900 per annum.
1t wouldn't take a great while, at such
rate, to noticeably diminish the
population of Russia. We can't say
that we want them in this country
very badly, either.

MEDICAL STANDARD LOW.

After an investigation covering a
period of three years, committee APP
pointed by the American Medical asso-
citation has reported that the standard
of medical and surgical education in
the United States is low According
to this report, which is subscribed to
by six well known physicians, only SO
this country are equipped to teach
modern medicine. OF the remainder
so per cent are doing poor work and
should institute great improvements at
once. and 20 per cent are entirely I'M
worthy of any recognition.
"In the United States" the report con-
tinues, the standards of the medical
schools are very uneven, representing the
highest and the lowest types, as COM
pared with the standards of England,
France and Germany. As whole, the
standard in this country is unSatiSfac-
| tory and much lower than in these coun-
tries. A modern medical education de-
mands, first, a four-year high school edu-
cation; second, year of physics, chem
istry and biology; third, two years in
well equipped laboratories of anatomy,
physiology, pathology and pharmacology
| fourth, two years in clinical work in dis
DenSdT1eS ana hospitals, IlILn a year as
inferno in a hospital
THE expense for the equipment and
maintenance of the modern medical school
is greater than can be met by fees paid
by medical students. Medical schools,
therefore, need endowments in order to
meet the demands of present day medi-
cine. Within recent years some of the
medical colleges in this country have OBJ
tanned university recognition, but there
are still a large number of schools con-
Quoted solely for profit, which is only
possible when the college fails to provide
proper facilities for labor atory and elm
ical training"
The health of the public is entirely
too valuable to be tinkered with by
ignorant practitioners. If many of our
medical schools are as bad as the re-
port indicates, and there is no reason
for questioning it's accuracy, they
should be legislated out of existence.
There should be a uniform standard of
medical education and every college
should be required to measure fully up
to it or go out of business. Perhaps
one trouble is that many young men
who have but little aptitude for the
profession of medicine go into 1t. No
college in the world, no training in the
world, can make physician out of a
man who has none of the original quail
ifications for the great work.
Many a good carpenter has been
spoiled in the making of a poor doctor.
Our honest judgment is that good ply
sicians are born, rather than made.
And, speaking generally, we are not
inclined to believe that the physicians
of this country are so very far below
their brother practitioners of other
lands. Certainly some tremendous
strides have been made in the profess
sion in this country. Our doctors may
not originate a great deal, they may
rot take such high rank as discoveries,
but they are quick to learn. and they
are very discerning in picking out the
good from the had

dred lives, and the comparative fire.
qJcncy Of such disasters, goes to show
tlidt travel by sea is as yet far from
absolutely safe. We hear a great deal

Every disaster by sea is tragic, but
the Columbia disaster seems more than
ordinarily tragic because it was alto
gether unnecessary. According to all
the reports the San Pedro. which col
lided with the Columbia, was out of
her course. That is, she was moving
south in the track usually taken by
northbound vessels. She was where
she had no business TO be, and in this
aer officers appear TO have been gross
iy negligent. The boats came together
with a crash so terrific that the Co..
sImbia sank within a space of time es-
.tmated at five minutes.
It is most remarkable that more lives
were not lost. The chances were all
against the passengers and crew of the
Columbia. The hour was midnight
Nearly everybody except the part of
tae crew whose watch it was had re-
tired for the night. Summoned from
their beds by the impact that be-
Nokened swift death, the passengers
ran about in a panic that all but
baked the efforts of the heroic Off
GERS of the ship. 1t is probable that
many of the passengers who were
y-xowned died without knowing what
had happened to the Columbia. They
were trapped in their cabins.
