HAS ALCOHOL A
REAL VALUE?
Question Still Discussed BY EngIand's
Learned Men.
New York Times.)


| LONDON, May 4.-British doctors
continue to dispute the value of al
| cohol in medicine and as a bever-
| age, and the inexpert public gets full
Ter and fuller of doubt as the argu-
ment is prolonged. 1t seems probable
that every physician and surgeon in
Great Britain, whose views have any
weight, will be dragged into the con-
troversy aroused by the publication
in The Lancet of that manifesto
which spoke of alcohol as indispensi-
BILE in medical practice and great
boon to those who use it in modera-
ton on their tables.
There have been a number of coun-
terblasts, but the most impressive of
them all is that published this week,
expressing the views of Sir Frederick
Treves and about a dozen other men
of great prominence in the medical
profession.
1--WE strongly believe" say Sir Fred
erick Treves and his associates, that
alcohol is unnecessary as an article
of consumption for healthy men, and
that it's general use could be discon-
tinued without detriment to the
worlds welfare. Further believing
that alcohol is one of the most fruit
ful sources OF poverty, disease and
crime, we are pleased to add that it
S now sparingly employed as a rem
edy by the majority of medical men,"
Prohibitionists say this manifesto
S quite as authoritative as the one to
which it applies, and probably it is.
30 it appears that nothing whatever
las been established by the contro-
ersy. The question at issue is still
veil up in the air.

riman is accused as the basis Of the
suits brought against him, what then
is Il that has caused Mr.. Roosevelt
to conclude that these men are not
desirable citizens? If his conclusion
is based on these accusations, then
his denunciation is an assumption that
the accusations are true. II it is not
based on these accusations, when did
he acquire the information upon which
he concluded that Meyer. Haywood
and Hartman we're undesirable citi-
zens and why did he not denounce
them brought these indictments and
suits were brought? He was well &C
quainted with Mr.. Hartman prior to
the charges that have been made
against him.
Was he also acquainted with Meyer
and Haywood, and familiar with their
regulations, prior to their having been
indicted for murder? Did his discov-
cry that these three men are unde-
sirable citizens coincide in time with
their being accused of violations of
the law? Did he know Mr.. Hartman
to be an undesirable citizen when he
was a guest at the marriage of the
Presidents daughter? Did he know
him to be an undesirable citizen when
he was invited to the White House
on other occasions and when CORES
pondence was passing between him
self and Mr.. Hartman with reference |
to the presidential campaign and New
York politics? Did he know Mr.. Har-
riman to be an undesirable citizen |

upon the accusations which are being
tried in the courts, and the truth of
which has not yet been judicially
The complaint against Mr.. Roose-
7elt is not made in defense of Mr..
Meyer, Mr. Haywood nor Mr.. Harri-
nan, but is in defense of official pro-
,riety, involving what is very close to
very good, patriotic citizen. Mr..
Roosevelt is not less subject, holding
he high office he does, to criticism
or recklessness and radicalism, than
5 the ignorant agitator occupying a
ess responsible position. He de-
lares that a square deal" means
reating all offenders alike. He can
OF, therefore, object to being criti-
lied for that recklessness of ex-
ression which he criticisese in those
f humber position. AS to the cour-
ge displayed in his thus repeating,
18th great emphasis, his denuncia-
ons of men as undesirable citizens,
might have required greater
,urage for him to have retracted to
e extent of expressing regret for
lving made public his private opin-
ms of men whose characters are I'M
'rgoing the test of judicial exami-
Ltion. His letter is adroit rather
an courageous, and is calculated to

Nowhere is there a better oppor-

It's a long way from satin at many

make up charmingly for a pretty un-
