Labor Leaders at the White House.

The conference at the White House
between the president and a deputa-
ton of labor leaders is likely to be an
to those laboring men who
allowed themselves to be deluded dur
ing the late campaign into the belief
that Mr.. Taft was an enemy of the
w~orkingman. The reception accorded
the visitors was of a character to
demonstrate that the president is too
big and too broad a man to allow the
incidents of the campaign to influence
him. Personally they were cordially
received, one and all, but what is far
more to the point is the outcome OF
the conference.
Mr.. Taft let 1t be known beyond the
chance of misunderstanding that he
stands by his views on labor questions
as expressed in his letter of acceptance
of the presidential nomination and
later in his inaugural address. While
more thar willing to cooperate In
any promising plan to ameliorate the
conditions of the laboring men, any
action taken must be in the light of its
effect upon the whole people. although
he will be glad to have the advice and
assistance of labor representatives.
The fact that at the conclusion of the
interview the representatives of laboT
expressed themselves as satisfied dem
onstrates that they came away with
faith in practical results. The problems
of labor are beth complex and vital to
the country, and the real friends of
the laborer concede that the solu-
ton, which embraces equity to all,
will be the solution which will work
for their own good. Labor has a right
TO expect that unjust burdens be
lifted. thai laws be adjusted to meet
the changing and changed conditions
of our industrial life, and Mr.. Taft has
demonstrated that in their fair adjust
ment labor can confidently look to him
as . Trend

BACK FROM THE BRINK.
Boy Victim of Advanced Tetanus
Practically Brought Back to Life.

Illlsbuik 1dHSNNcs
One of the most remarkable cases in the
annals nf medicine has just been brought
to a successful conclusion at the West
Penn hospital. Pittsburg. Hugh Brewer,
aged 9 years. son Of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c.
Brewer of Church and Ridge avenues Ben
Avon. was the patient. Although he has
been pronounced dead more than twice
during the eighteen days he occupied a
cot in the hospital, he was finally dis
charged last Thursday and is expected to
completely recover soon.
When the lad was taken to the hospital
he was suffering from tetanus at an ad-
vanced stage and his death was seemingly
certain. He was, however, given the re-
Gently discovered magnesium sulphate
treatment, the solution being injected di-
rectly into the spinal canal. AntitoXtn in
~jections were also employed and yge
was administered at frequent intervals in
large quantities.
Although the radical treatments brought
relief, the boy could only rest for about
twenty-four hours, when the acute at
tacks would These alternate
spasms and periods of comparative calm
continued until last Monday. During that
time there were several occasions when
respiration was apparently totally sus-
pended and the lad, according to all the
usually accepted tests, was dead. So con-
vincing were the tests that Mrs. Brewer,
who was in attendance on her son, told
the physicians to give up their efforts to
revive him.
The physicians, however, refused to dis
continue their work. At one time they
were busy continuously for forty-eight
hours. It is believed that never before has
so large a quantity of oxyge been ad-
ministered to one patient is so short a
time. It was used so lavishly that extra
supplies were ordered and the hospital had
at one time sixteen extra cylinders on
hand. Although no data is available, young
Brewers case Is thought to have estab-
lished a record in this particular.
incidentally the case is asserted to be a
vindication OF the claims of the vivisec-
tionists. The hospital authorities unite in
attributing the cure to the magnesium
sulphate injections. a treatment which was
brought to perfection only a year ago
through experiments on animals. Should
such Investigations be stopped by the en-

Ancient Tradition of the Rural Dis

tricts Gets Body Blow.
New York Times.
The ancient and revered tradition that
the rural districts give birth to cur leading
orators, statesmen, men OF letters, of af-
fairs and Of the professions is rather sum-
marily upset by DR.. Frederick Adams
Woods in the current issue of Science. DR..
Woods challenges the statement made by
w. ]. Spillman that about 70 per cent OF
the leaders in every phase OF activity"
come from the farms, and he trots out his
who's Who in America" TO prove that
this is far from the truth. These leaders
are so years old on an average. OF the
total population OF 31,443,321 in 1860. when
they were born, but 1871 per cent dwelt in
the ninety-six cities of 5000 or more in
habitants; yet In these cities the respected
gentlemen appearing in Who's Who
under the initial A amount to 296 per cent
Of the total, as against the l6l per cent
expected. e
Under the initial B are disclosed 4O4 born
in the ninety-six cities, out Of a total OF
1,47. or rs per cent; under the initial c.
S62 out Of l,14S, or 3l.7 per cent, and under
d and e. $40 per cent and 1876 per cent.
respectively. To he quite safe, DR.. Woods
added all the unrecorded ~birthplaces TO the
suburban and rural side OF his balance, and
selected groups of fifty or 100 at raDdom
under other letters OF the alphabet The
result showed that. whereas the towns, VII
laYes and farms contained five times the
population OF cities in 1880. they failed to
produce more than about twice as many
leading citizens. DR.. Woods draws the pitt
less inference that since the cities beat the
nonurban districts as a whole in producing
gifted boys. 1.-THE towns and villages would
make a pr~oportionately better showing than
the farms, were the necessary data given"

WORKING Ont the Forest Policy.

The president has instructed the
public entry approximately 65, 900 900
acres of land held apart under the for
est reserve act. This order has been
the cause of much rejoicing in the In
%termoGntain states, where most of the
land is located, and by some heralded
as the abandonment of the forest re-
serve policy of the past. A careful
survey of the situation does not sup
port such conclusion. Neither is the
action merely responsive to the clamor
of the sections involved against that
policy. 1t Is rather the natural de-
velopment of the forestry plans along
scientific lines.
When the reforestation problem was
first taken up it was with a decidedly
imperfect understanding of the condi-
lions, though the necessity was fully
might not be blocked or negatived by
selfish private interests o; made un-
duly expensive by INSCRIPTIONS men,
the government naturally reserved all
lands which by any possibility might
be required for the purpose. In fol-
lowing out this plan millions of acres
which were temporarily withdrawn
from settlement, but on late investiga-
ton found not to be needed, have been
restored to entry. 1t is not the first
instance where this course has been
pursued and undoubtedly will not be
the last. for the needs Of the service
are even as yet imperfectly under
stood.
While temporary inconvenience to
individuals and communities may have
resulted from the plan adopted. the
people of the west and of the whole
country have an ultimate interest in
the success Of the forestry plans which
far outweighs such disadvantages.

The Land of the Dollar.

After sojourning/ in the United
states for some time making critical
investigation of financial and social
conditions, Prof. Ferrero arrives at the
conclusion that Americans as a nation
are no more given ove to the chasing
of the dollar than others. That they
are more successful in the quest, how
ever, he admits, but in forming his
conclusions sets over against this the
American habit of spending money.
Americans have long resented the
imputation that their only object in
life is the piling up of money. Amer
ica's answer has been made whenever
there was suffering and want in the
world, in the presence of great disas-
ters, by opening up the pocketbooks of
the people and pouring out money
with a p~rodigality u~nexpecteds
All who come with open minds and
observe must reach the same conclu-
sion. The country is not pent up,
there Is elbow room for all, %begetting
a restless energy which is fruitful of
accomplishment. Human nature does
not change with a day and the fact
that these results are likewise at
tanned by people of foreign lands who
come here bellies the charge of sordid
desire for simple accumulation. There
is scarcely a country on the face of the
globe which has not benefited by
American largess and it is time the
world was admitting the dollar in
America is not supreme.
