Craftsmanship Of the Allegheny County
Republican Committee.
We are going 10 elect a State treasurer
this fall. said the Congressman, in
the person of John o. Sheath. Of Phila-
delphla, a first-class man in every way.
There will be no walk-over. but we viii
win over the Democrats by a comfortable
margin. The Republican party in Penn
sylvania Is in splendid shape, and has
the confidence OF the people II has a
governor who is giving an excellent ad-
minlstrauou. Gov. Stuart is the avowed
Toe Of corruption and rascality, and the
party Is behind him in his efforts to send
to jail all public officials and others who
have been connected with the capitol
contract scandals in a guilty way. This
matter viii be probed 70 the bottom. and
every taker Of a dishonest dollar will
go behind the bars.

at the New Willard. TO have look at
your medical colleges and hospitals for
study and comparison with similar insti-
tuti0ns in my country.
After examining those IN Boston. New
York. and Baltimore 1 am forced to the
conclusion that while your medical
schools are very good, your hospitals arc
considerably behind those Of Germany
and Hungary. They are not nearly so
modern or so well equipped as ours.
which seems strange in a new and pro-
gressive country like America. I am in
Clined 20 think that the inferior status
Of the American hospitals is due to the
fact that they are for the most part under
the control of municipalities. instead Of
being under the auspices Of the general
government as with us. II your hospitals
were State concerns. instead Of owning
local management, they would undoubt-
edly be quite superior 10 what they are.
and this other advantage would accrue:
They would all have the same method,
Uniformity in hospital work is very es-
sential; but I find that in the United
States If IS different in each city.
Your medical colleges. I think. labor
under the disadvantages Of having too
short a course. our young men 60 five
years prior to graduation. instead Of
four. as In the United States, and then
they spend another year in actual prac-
tice before they really enter on their
professional work This system insurcs
thoroughuess. From all 1 can see and
hear American physicians and surgeons
have great skill, are eminently practical

believe they are so well read in the
literature Of their profession, or so thor

a long time the popular proprietor Of
the Bates House in Indianapolis. Mr..
Reibold was known far and wide. and
had a multitude Of friends. Some ten
years ago he sold out his business and

Though 1 am no longer a citizen Of The
Hoosler State" said he. Il always am
proud 20 call myself an Indianian, and
never q week goes by that I do not go 10
Indianapolis to miugle with my old and
true friends. Some Of tire best people
ever created live in that old burg, so l
shall ever claim it as home"

high in social and business circles.
we shall have very warm time in
politics in West Virginia next year said
Mr.. Sutherland The State is over
Whelmingly Republican and our people
are great admirers Of Col Roosevelt. OF

"The hustling town Of Elkins continues

biggest county I'm our State. This county,
Randolph. IS about TIE size Of the State

L honestly believe that John Temple
Graves suggestion Of Roosevelt and Hoke
Smith as Presidential ticket would prove
irresistible to the average voter of Geor-
gia, and Il would be certain 20 sweep our
State" said Mr.. L. A. Hamilton, a sub
stantial citizen Of Rome, Ga, at the Raj
eigh. "Our people are at heart admirers
of the President, and many Of them are
for him in the most outspoken way. OF
course we are Democrats still. but there
is no longer with us the old Cast-iron,
narrow partisanship that used to make
men support any man who was the nOm-
inee Of his party. Ny notion is that
Roosevelt could be elected hands down
without running as the candidate Of any
party"
