THE SURGEONS PLEA.

A Chicago physician and surgeon is
which he explains the causes of the
diseases which demand surgical opera
make clear that the physician and
surgeon views disease from a, scien
sions are from knowledge and eX-
perience in the surgical treatment OF
to use the knife or to secure large
fee. The best method to bring about
better understanding between sur
geon and patient is he believes. to ex-
plain in plain phraseology to the pub
lie the surgeons reasons for treatment
of certain diseases which require oper-
ations for their relief.
Dr.. Miller is right. Too much of the
surgeons and physicians art has been
made mysterious by Latin and toe
much terror and scepticism inspired by
the failure of the medical man to take
the patient fully into his confidence and
explain plainly and sensibly why and
how operations are to be performed
There is need for closer relation be-
tween the patient and the physician
and surgeon. There is great need OF
better knowledge and clearer under
standing by the public of the human
body and the diseases that affect 1t.
We are inclined to joke over APP
pendicitis and suggest the surgeons
raise such cash as may be needed or
little twisted little excresence. But the
facts are that the surgeon is RICH,
and the sooner he mischief maker is
out and bottled in alcohol the better
for the man who has trouble with it
The general suggestion that surgeons
are anxious to cut because of a desire
to be busy and to get the money, is
unjust and unfounded. Few surgeons
and few physicians attain wealth ane
hundreds of operations are done from
a financial standpoint as hopeless as
a case of consumption in it's las
stage
Let's be fair to a most useful pro-
fession and one that retains the high
est ideals. These are a grand body o.
men who are fighting disease and strv-
ing to keep our souls and bodies to-
gether against our own lack of the
common knowledge all men should. but
do not have, of the common principles
of correct physical care of themselves
We overwork, overeat and strain men
tai and physical organization to tn,
breaking point and go humbly OF
arrogantly to them asking for impos.
sibilities. Let's be fair to them.

'"NEAR BEER" IS "BoozE.

Sometimes when even the plainest
evidence exists a judicial decision is
absolutely necessary to correct CLASH
fication. The difference between BUSH
ness man, official and CRATER often
requires the ordeal of trial and the
conclusion of courts. But when the
conclusion has been arrived at the class
ification is usually complete. In the
case of near beer" a beverage which
is said to be excessively popular in
communities where the liquor traffic is
prohibited, the courts have decided that
it gets too close to the real thing and
that certain cash payments ranging
from $500 up or an enforced change
of residence becomes necessary for the
person who sells it. "Justus' beer then,
is just as much taboo in Iowa as the
brew that made Milwaukee famous and
makes Temporary millionaires out of
it's devotees
The near beer" cases-and bottles
illustrate point. It's manufacturers
did not fail to affix the government
stamps. The government by the way
is well known to insist on accuracy in
this respect. Nothing intoxicating

as a precautionary measure presum-
ably the money was spent for stamps

active and impeccable as government"
officials, "near beer would scarcely
have been on the market except as pro-
tected by the mulct law or brought
round by the bootlegger
1t appears TO take a lot more OF
near beer to get results. However. we
have the word of the court that fair
stomach capacity and the desire and
the price offer the necessary combina-
ton to awake enthusiasm and pro-
duce arguments. The decision indi-

Al FREMONT VOTER TO PORTER.

To my Hon. Young Friend, Claude
Porter, of Centerville, Iowa:
Dear Claude-You made US a mag
nificent speech last Saturday. Your
chairman, in opening the meeting.
mentioned General Jackson, but he
never mentioned Van Buren,, Polk,
Pierce. Buchanan, nor Cleveland. That
may be all right but it seems to me
a big gap from Jackson to Bryan. o1
course jackson was a little hard on
secession in 1882. which would not
have been good democracy in the days
of Jimmy" Buchanan But you did
not mention this. I'm glad you dldn {.
Democracy is u progressive science and
changes TO suit the times. You are not
expected to know anything about the
things that happened before you were
born, especially about the old demo :
cratic party.
of course Buchanan was in tight
place in 1860 to 1861 He didn't al
ways know just what was democracy
and what wasn't He didn't live in

THE PRINCE OF PEACE IN POLITICS.

1t develops that millions of printed
copies of Mr.. Bryans lecture, "The
Prince of Peace have been circulated
by the democratic campaign committee
as a campaign document. The cover
page contains a picture of the Saviour
and none or at least few suspected that
the pamphlet was being circulated by
a campaign committee in an effort to
influence votes toward its candidate.
Some Christian people, however, have
since discovering the object of the
pamphlet objected to the scheme as
smaclling of the sacriligious and have
expressed themselves as adverse to
the use of the lecture as a campaign
document.
There is somewhat in the act that
Jars upon the sensitive. However, it is
hard to see anything radically wrong
in It, 1t may not be in the best taste
and to many it will seem a use of
holy vessels for domestic purposes.
However, there is no reason why any
Of Mr. Bryan's writings should not be
circulated as he and his advisers see
fit. The lecture is a very good one.
Most Of us have paid to hear it de-
livered. It is in nowise great or does
it voice anything new. Millions of men
and women since the Christian religion
came into the world have held to the

is content to believe Millions of men
in the world who are not candidates
for president and who would be as un-
fitted for the duties of the executive
office as is Mr.. Bryan have held to
the same faith quietly and will die in
it without dreaming of coming it into
money at fifty cent admission or
capitalizing it for the purchase of Of

Bryan should not circulate his lecture
and no other good reason why it should
have any polltlcal erect. Ii It's general
circulation should affect its value as
material for chautauqua and lyceum
courses Mr.. Bryan can write another

THE SPIRIT OF THE SONG.
MANILA Timesl

While out strolling one day this
week a Times reporter passed a house
from which emanated the inspiring
strains Of music from a piano, and
the throat of a charming young lady.
The only words the reporter caught
from the song were something about
dear mother Passing on and turn
ing down side street, the reporter
saw thru the kitchen window the dear
mother with her arms buried almost to
the elbow in pan of dough. the sweat
streaming down her wrinkled face and
the hot range enveloping her. She was
singing: Wen Work Till Jesus
Comes"

the old lady doesn't hurry she is likely
to die almost as such as her husband.
One hundred fifty thousand is not a
huge part of $4,000, 900.

Des NIoines street commissioner,

heavy rains of the past few days have
had absolutely no effect on the new
roads The water runs off of the street
as if they were asphalt and not drop
penetrates under the surface. The 9TH
er day load of coal weighing 6,5Do
pounds on a narrow tire wagon was
wheels scarcely made a track. I am
satisfied that roads of this kind can
be built for so cents per square yard
and will prove just as satisfactory as
asphalt at three or four times the cost.
Even the first oiled road on Thirty
seventh street didn't cost as much as
was estimated and now that we know
how to proceed the work can be done
much cheaper The property owners on
the streets which have been paved in
this way are all satisfied with the re-
suits and many of them have already
paid their assessments"
Tn the days of factionalism Cummins
gued in speech at Minneapolis that
the consumer is entitled to protection
as we'll as the producer. but that is
ended by harmony now. Mr. Taft says
that, the rights of the consumer must
be considered in an intelligent revision
downward. Now let's all good repub-
licans call for the separate senatorial
ballot and make it unanimous for Cum
Minis for senator.
When Senator Allison died Governor
Cummins stood the first choice of
4S& per cent of the republican voters
recorded in the June primaries. He was
known to be the second choice to Alli-
son of fully forty per cent of those
who voted for Allison. With Allison
dead Cummins is entitled to the votes
of 6SA per cent of the republicans of
Iowa. BY calling for the separate SEN
atorial ballot on election day this fact
can be properly recorded.
Those republicans who remember
the combined railway power of the
country by appearing as the peoples
witness before the Elkins committee at
Washington. should also remember
that the only men who will have any
thing to say in the naming of the next
senator from Iowa will be the men who
call for that separate senatorial ballot
on election day.
If business men all over the country
believe that the election of Taft and
the republican ticket will make more
business than the election of Bryan,
how can it help but make more jobs ?
Bryan's promises of friendship to labor
should be discounted by the known
hostilitN of southern democrats who
will fill his cabinet and control his adj
ministration while Taft is known to
be an eminently fair man.
