Official Paper of New Ulm.

The St. Paul News pays the follow.
ing deserved tribute to the doctors:
Perhaps SONS day a true story will
be written of the worlds philanthro-
pists. Think of the doctors in such
book! What calling in the world is
alike it? Merchants can rest, capital
lists can sleep, ministers can read
gout not the doctor. His hours are all
day and all night, and then perhaps
all day again and the next night as
well.
His philanthropy is not craven in
marble or embossed upon copper
plate. It is silent and real. He is the
big brother of all the world; and when
he is called he must go.
You may not happen to know what
things doctors do. Some of us do
know. We know of women saved, of
young men steadied, of families held
together, of money given instead of
received, of free calls and often materi-
al assistance. We know Of operations
performed in the hope of saving life
ready to drop from physical exhaus-
ton. We know of the most tender
care freely bestowed upon the lowest
and feeblest and most unattractive of
Gods creatures. The good and the
wicked, the black and the white, are
all one to the honest physician.
The Railway Age, a Chicago publ
cation which is thought to voice the
prevailing sentiment among the higher
railway officials OF the country, is say
ing some severe things about the in
terstate commerce commission. For
example:
Unfortunately, the commission con-
tains too many good lawyers and too
few men who have any practical know
ledge of the=railway business or who
possess the grasp OF railway economics
and the capacity for statistical work
which distinguishes the railway COM
mission of Wisconsin.
1.-THE result is that many of the rul-
ings of the interstate commerce COM
mission are not practical and that
many of it's opinions betray only a
very superficial knowledge Of the i'm
portant matters with which they deal.
It is only fair to say that in view OF
the enormous amount of work the COM
mission has attempted to do since the
Hepburn act went into effect, it is not
surprising that it has not always done
good work. On the other hand, how
ever, the commission has gone out OF
its way to NEEDLE with a number OF
matters which did not seem to require
immediate attention Or perhaps any
attention from it; and it would un-
doubtedly have secured better results
if it had attempted to DO less.'
The plan SuggeSted by Secretary

According to a story printed in the

Roosevelt is a receptive candidate to
succeed himself.
The story declares that Roosevelt
recently had conference with Gov.
Deneen as to the probability of Illinois
sending Taft delegation to the next
national convention and at this con-
ference the following conversation
took place.
President Roosevelt twill Illinois
be for Taft?
Governor Deneen-NO.
President-Why not?
Governor-We prefer someone else.
President-Then to whom do you
refer?
Governor-His name is Roosevelt.
President-But am not a candidate
and have said so repeatedly.
Governor-Of course we know that.
But what would you do if the national
convention in your absence should
nominate you despite your expressed
wish?

The Rockefeller Philosophy.

John D. Rockefeller G ave free rein
to his tongue the other day and here
are some of the things he said:
"It is worse than thoughtless to say
off-hand that the wealth and the in
dustrles of the country are in the
hands of a few rich men. The bust
ness of the country is interviewer unit
it is something like the circulation of
the blood. An injury or an operation
at one point shocks and weakens the
whole.
"a good deal of nonsense is printed
about my having captured all the rail-
roads of the country or having mono
polized this or that. The truth is that
I figure as an investor and stock
holder rather than as proprietor.
81 am harnessed to cart in which
the people ride. Whether I like it or
not I must work for the rest. I am
willing to draw my share of the load
as long as am able.
'The men who have acquired the
largest fortunes have not pursued
wealth, but business success. Had they
desired money for the enjoyment Of
money they would have stopped far
short of spending their lives, as they
have, in the struggle that is business.
The natural ambition of every man to
make good provision for his family
