GIFTS FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH.

Great sums of money in the past
few years have been given by Ameri-
can milliOnaires to hospitals and med
ical institutions for purposes of re-
search. No better form of philanthro-
ply could be devised than this. Every
forward step in medical science is a
forward step for the human race as a
whole. Money that is invested for
the purpose of alleviating suffering
and saving life is, next to that invest
ed in the saving of souls, the highest
form that bequest could take
A few days ago the announcement
was made that Henry Phipps, the steel
magnate of Pittsburg, had given a
half million dollars to John Hopkins
Hospital for the endowment of an in
stitute for Investigations into insan-
ty, with the purpose of ascertaining
the best way by which it could be
treated in its incipiency and the suf-
ferers restored to a normal mental
state. This is the largest donation
that has probably ever been made for
such purpose, and now that public
attention has been directed to it, and
to the vastly increasing number OF
| cases of insanity in all sections OF
| the country, it is not improbable that
other large sums will be set aside for
a similar object.
In this connection the New York
World summarizes some gifts for
medical research, aggregating thirty
three million dollars that have been
made in recent years, as follows:
Medical research, to which no mill
ionaire paid any public attention ten
years ago, is now claiming a con-
stantly growing share of the benefac-
tons of the rich. Among the notable
gifts in this direction are:
John d. Rockefeller, to the Post
Graduate Medical School and Hospital
at Chicago, $7,000,0 900.
The same donor, to the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research in New
York City, for archaeological inquir-
les as to tuberculosis, pneumonia, ce-
rebro-spinal meningitis, scarlet fever,
etc, $4,000,000.
Andrew Carnegie, to the Carnegie
Institution at Washington a part of
whose work is medical research,
$4,000 900.
Peter Brant Brigham, of Boston, for
a hospital for incurables in that city,
with accompanying research into the
diseases under observation, $4,000, 900.

city, to the Phipps Institute, of Phil

GeOrgia's Big Task
(Atlanta Georgian.)

Important work lies before the
Georgia legislature, which meets
Wednesday.
Several important questions are to
come before the body in the fifty
days in which the session continues
time perhaps all too short for the
big issues that confront it. This will
be the last legislature over which Gov
ernor Smith will have power to in
fuence for the measures he advo-
Gates. How far the body will be
moved to do the things he asks, re-
mains to be seen.
No question coming up is of
greater Importance to Georgia and its
future than the disposition of the
convicts. 1t is a matter upon which
the best thoughts and most careful
consideration of the law-making body
should be given. Politics should not
enter into the settlement of the
question. This or that man or set
of men, with purely the selfish end
should have no voice in this prob
lem.
Unquestionably in the eyes of the
world Georgia's convict system is
relic of barbarism Much is said
about it that is untrue and exaggera-
Ceu MUCH OF the same KIND or stun
is written. But, in the final analysis,
there is little to defend it. A system
so modelled is fundamentally wrong.
and even though no one doubts the
wide humanity, the integrity and the
honesty of the commission governing
the convict system, it is within itself
OF such nature that they cannot
prevent the wrongs done.
A few papers of the state have
commented on the matter, but the
plainest statement yet made is that
of the Rome Tribune-Herald which
says editorially:
In the hurly-burly of politics
economics is often laid on the shelf
In a desire for money the state is
embarked upon an atrocity that fails
of its very motive, and yields less
return than more humane method
of procedure. Let us be thankful that
thoughtful. strong and earnest men
are pledging their endeavors, during
the coming session of the Legislature
toward lettering conditions that now
exist.
sWe have never admired the man
who looks upon the dark side of |
things. We are optimists by nature
and were We to choose a crest for |
the Tribune-Herald it would be any
thing else than muck rake rampant |
But sometimes the muck-raker rem

Speaking of our greatest national
evil, Bishop Doane, at the Anglican
conference now in session in London
said: In the United States there are
two kinds of polygamy, one synchro-
nous, called Mormonism, the other
successive, called remarriage after
divorce" Not to be irreverent, the
advantage of the latter is that the
man doesn't have to buy spring bon
nets for more than one wife at a
time. There is no doubt, though, that
we enjoy what Bishop Doane called a
shameful prominence" in the di-
yorce line

The fanatical effort to harm Taft's
candidacy by decrying him as Uni
tartan has brought out the facts that
several presidents have been Unitar-
ians or decidedly unorthodox in their
religious views John Adams, John
Quincy Adams, and Willard Fillmore
were Unitarians, Jefferson was
somewhat of an gnostic, and Abra-
ham Lincoln was far from acceding
to the accepted religious views of his
day The public is hardly apt to be

Georgia. 1t bears the stamp of YER

1t blazons to the world the shame
of an otherwise enlightened state.
But we would not condemn our
own state on the word of a foreign
magazine, alone. Evidence as to- CON
ditions can be obtained much near
er home For instance there was the
story told in the courts of Walker
county, and believed by the jury of
the treatment given the workers In
the Durham mines There is the
evidence of our own senses which
tells us that men who hire convicts
at a high rate will drive them to the
limit, to make profit. There are the
confessions of deputy Wardens that
they are in the pay Of convict Iessees
There is the sense of right and wrong
which tells us it is wrong to traffic
in flesh and blood for money

the Chicago convention than at any

This accounts for the negro in the
