and complete menagerie, another bril-
liant spectacle and the most astonish-
ing and sensational thriller" in all

The thriller is nothing less than a
double sumersault in midair made by
a heavy automobile with Mile. La
Belle Roche, a young French woman,
at the wheel. The car dashes down a
steep incline from the dome of the
tent. An abrupt up-curved terminal
hurls the car high above the heads of
the audience, where it accomplishes
two complete revolutions and then
lands with a crash on a narrow speed,
way, exhausting it's terrific momentum
on the hippodrome track.
This is an act that defes English. II
cannot be described, and when once
seen, the picture of it will be carried
in memory to the end of life. 1t il

on pathological problems has at
tracted much attention here.

one surgeon said. and it will be
seen at once what a successful cx-
tension Of the transplanting of
arteries to human beings would
mean. There are thousands of
persons who are suffering from
tumors which cannot be removed
because they have formed them
selves about arteries, the removal
of which would spell death.
Under the Flexner plan sur
geon would be able to cut out both
the tumor and the part of the
artery incased in the growth and
then fill in the arterial gap with a
section of artery taken from an
animal. In few weeks the artery
would be performing Its function
as usual, and the patient would be
convalescent. 1t is not enough,
however. to demonstrate that the
artery of an animal can be trans
planted to a man or a woman.
Experiment must show that the
section transplanted will serve its
purpose as long as the sections OF
the artery not transplanted, and
not withstand the blood pressure
only for few weeks or a few
months. -

PROHIBITIONS GROWTH.

Not since the days of abolition
has any great ethical principle
made such a fight for recognition
by our political system as prohibit
ton has within the last few years.
Like The abolition movement, the
struggle for prohibition had an in
significant local beginning, and
was, at first, vital principle only
to women's societies and unimpor-
tant men, who were led by a single
individual of extraordinary power.
But after Garrison came Wendell
Philips, Lucy Larcom, Harriet
Beeeher Stowe, and others, whose
eloqnence made new converts to
their cause every day, and in time
set the whole country afre with it.
Likewise, prohibition took the
mantle of Neal Dow and cast over
the shoulders of John B. Cough,
and after him came a score of
others, with the late Francis Muir
ply among them. Abolition lived
half a century, then reached its
zenith, and expire dwith the blood
and smoke Of a great war which
it had stirred up But that war
was its creation and its servants,
doing its work. and it died ONLY
because its work was done. Pro-
hibition has existed half century
now, and perhaps has not arrived
at its zenith, but it has reached
tremendous height and is spread
ing all over the country in leaps
and bounds greater than those of
abolition. except in its later days.
Its issue will not be left to the
sword, as was that of its great
forerunner, but it will put its
trust in the ballot and in the war
of ballots there will surely come a
Gettysburg
Prohibition as an issue has come
to stay, either to victory or until
it is decisively wiped out at the
polls. 1t is no longer a fad. It
has proved its right to existence
by its healthy growth, and the
two. great political parties can no
longer shoulder it out Of the way.
They must meet it squarely, and
one of them will either have to
take it into camp as a friendly
power and an ally or beat it down.
1t may not be a national issue in
next years political campaign,
but it will be in the campaign of
1912, if it continues its present
marvellous growth. Out of the
eighty-odd millions Of people in
the United Estates, on January I
there will be $4,000, 900 living di-
rectly under absolute prohibition.
What is the use of pretense or
evasion or denial in the face of
those figures? Such an army as
that cannot be brushed aside light
ly.

THE THINGS To PRINT
Everybody Can Give Pointers to The
Editor.

There is hardly a newspaper
reader in any community who, in
his own estimation, could not con-
duct paper better than the local
editors do. And each one of these
literary geniuses differ as to what
a newspaper should be. Some de-
mand that all the sporting news
shall be published down to the
most minute details, others hold
that the full details of the market
report, both local and foreign,
should be printed, others still Won
der why some obscure quarrel
which happened late at night in
the lower end of the city was re
ported, although it never was re-
ported to the police, while few
would everlastingly criticise every
public official in the city every
day.
These different classes could be
properly educated into the news
paper business in a few years, but
the chances are that they never
will be, for the reason that they
are so sure they are right that no.
body could by any chance set them
right
The function Of newspaper is
to print the news-all the news.
1t is impossible in a paper to cover
every item of sports or markets
because this would exclude other
very important news in other de
partments. 4 newspaper must
print the most important happen
ings in all departments of news,
and this makes it impossible to
go into minute details in any par
tiCular department.
But above all things a news
paper must not be personal. It is
necessary sometimes to criticise
the conduct of individuals and
men in Office, but when this is
done it is not because the news
paper, or some employe Of the
newspaper, has a personal grudge
at the person thus criticised. 1t
is because this criticism is in the
best interests of the community,
and any newspaper which thus
critiCises merely to satisfy a per
sonal grudge will soon go out Of
business. The function of the
public press is as sacred as the
function of the courts and in most
cases the managers and editors of
newspapers keep this fact in view
all the time. Fairness, Justice and
the truth are the three things
which the journalist strives for.
He way miss them sometimes, but
his intentions are good.-Peoria

THE PRESIDENT
Of THE WABASH
Declares That The Cumberland
Wheeling Link Will Be Built.

ffedeTlC 4. Delano, president
of the Wabash Railroad Company,
was in Baltimore Tuesday as the
guest of Mr.. B. F. Bush, president
OF the Western Maryland Railroad.
Mr.. Delano stopped off on his way
to Chicago from New York, and
while in Baltimore was shown
some of the Western Maryland's
property. He left Tuesday after
noon for the West.
Mr., Delano spoke encouragingly
OF business, and incidentally, took
occasion to again deny the report
circulated recently about his resi-
gnation. The dispatches sent ont
from Chicago about the resigna-
ton quoted friend" Of the pre-
sident of the Wabash.
The man quoted is certaialy
no friend OF mine" said Mr.. Del
ano, smiling. There was no
foundation for the report"
Then speaking of conditions on
the Wabash, he said.
Business has fallen off some
during the last few months, lust as
1t has with other roads, but, in
my opinion, the bottom has been
reached. think that we can now
look for conditions to improve;
perhaps by the middle Of January,
we will begin to see this improve
ment. look for easier money,
too. do not mean to convey the
impression that there is going to
be any rapid change, a sudden
withdrawal of all unfavorable con
ditions, as it were, but a gradual
improvement.
The resumption of work at many
mills in the Pittsburg district after
having been idle for several weeks
was referred to.
Yes, that is a good sign, said
Mr., Delano. "A great many
manufacturers took advantage of
the holidays to close down. l
look for a continuance of the i'm
prQvement which has already be-
gun among the industrial con-
Germs.
Mr.. Delano said that the Wabash
had lad to take steps to curtail
expenses, just as other companies
have done, and that some men
have been laid off, but no steps
have been taken or even consider
ed to reduce salaries, as it was an
nounced several days ago that the
Erie has done.
When will work be started on
the link to connect the Western
Maryland at Cumberland and the
Wabash at Wheeling?' the presi-
dent of the latter road was asked.
That's more than I can say
now" Mr.. Delano replied. 1T de
ponds largely on monetary condi-
tlons. | don't know what will be
done during the coming year; I
hope that the money market will
be such as to permit of the work
being started. We are anxious to
get the line constructed and are
going right ahead with Our plans.
Mr., Delano is not a stranger in
Baltimore. He has visited Balti-
more before III connection with the
affairs of the Wabash, his last visit
having been last summer, when,
with President Bush of the West
ern Maryland, he held confer
ence with President Murray and
other Baltimore and Ohio officials
regarding some matters relating to
an interchange of traffic.
