A BLOW AT AN INDUSTRY

A fearful blow is threatened at
one of the most profitable industries
of modern times. The law may be
invoked to stop the lucrative prac-
tice of removing the veriform APP
pendix. A noted doctor has advised
the passage of a law making it a
criminal offense, punishable by i'm
prisonment, to perform this popular
operation. Should it pass many sur
geons who have made vast fortunes
in the past few years will be put out
of business and other younger sur
geons who had hoped to make for
tunes in this way, will be forced to
find some other method of making
a Stake The following dispatch from
Boston tells of the dire calamity
which threatens this industry.
DR.. Charles e. Page, one of Bos-
tons leading physicians, has declared
that an operation for appendicitis
should be called a criminal opera
ton, and as such should be prohibit
ed by law In this connection DR..
Page said:
Ever since the craze for appen-
dlcotomy started, l have been fol-
lowing the records for appendicitis
operations, and l confidently believe
that the day is coming when the peo-
pie will finally realize that appen-
dicotomy-cutting of the appendix
is criminal operation.
LAS for the widely proclaimed
benefits and saving of life by opera
tions to cut the appendix, it seems
necessary to cite the long list OF
death following the operations. The
death of Governor Johnson, and OF
Clyde Fitch, the great playwright
are two of the recent striking in
stances we have had. The surgeons
cut off Governor Johnson's appendix
a year or so ago; they operated on
him a second time, and on the third
he fell victim to mistaken modern
theories.
q have kept track of the deaths
from appendicitis operations for II
years and the list is appalling"

COMNIENDs COMMISSION

The Herald wishes to call atten-
ton of the people of Pullman and
Vicinity to the splendid work of the
State Railroad Commission. The re-
cent order of the commission in the
Cunningham rate case in which an
order was made reducing rates on
grain IL IL per cent. from all points
on the Northern Pacific, is a great
victory. The press of the state seem
to be slow in commencing the work
Of the commission which means a
saving of half million dollars a
year to the wheat growers of the
state.
That the railroad commission, by
its careful work has saved to the
state many times what il has cost.
has long been admitted. In ascer-
tanning the actual cost of construc-
ton, rolling stock and equipment of
the railroads the railroad commission
has placed upon the tax list of the
taxable property of the state a vast
amount of property that has escap-

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter OF fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages; if not near the store buy the
large size family package. 2

ALL HONOR TO MAYOR PRATT

Mayor Pratt, oof Spokane, is en-
titled to the respect of every fair
minded and fearless man and wo-
man in that city. He has re-appoint-
ed Carl w. Tuerke, city commission
er after Tuerke had been removed
by the notorious Pan Tan" members
of the city council. In hurting this
def at the corrupt gang which would
control the city government of Spo-
kane and make the city the prey of
dishonest contractors and politicians,
Mayor Pratt has done a worthy deed
and has shown that the people of
that republican stronghold made no
mistake when they dropped political
prejudice and elected him mayor in
stead of the republican candidate who
was a tool of the gang which depos-
ed Commissioner Tuerke.
In re-appointing Commissioner
Tuerke, Mayor Pratt declares him to
be the best fitted man in Spokane
for the position and for that reason
the mayor has dared TO defy seven
members of the council and reap
point Tuerke who is backed by the
better element of Spokane without

APPRECIATION SHOWN

Wednesday one of the best known
merchants of Pullman called a re-
preventative of the Herald into his
store and said: Il want you to send
the paper to my father in the east.
am proud of the Herald. | think
it is the best paper ever printed in
the Palouse country and the people
of Pullman ought to be proud to
send it to friends in other places. l
don't believe town the size of Pull
man anywhere in the west has a bet
ter paper than The Herald" This
is the kind of appreciation that helps
to build up a paper and encourages
the management to put forth greater
efforts to publish a paper which will
reflect credit upon the town and the
country surrounding it.

PEARY AND COOK

When Dr. Cook told the story of
his discovery of the north pole some
of the small-minded friends of Peary
said that it was impossible for
man to travel more than four or five
miles day in the Arctic regions
Cook said that he had travelled -
or Is.
This was their first proof that Dr.
Cook was fakir
Now comes Commander Peary's
story, in which he tells of travelling
over two degrees of latitude in four
days This made Peary travel 80
miles day.
The critics of Cook asserted that it
was strange that after discovering the
pole he had fingered around there
only two days.
Now Peary stopped at the pole only
one day.
would bear him out in many of his
statements.
The friends of Mi. Peary stated
that the Eskimos are VIGOROUSLY un-
reliable, AMI are unworthy of belief
Peary himself now intends to con-
tradict Cooks statement out of the
They also criticise Cook because
his methods were not scientific; that
he did not follow the well-set rules
of Arctic exploration
Probably this is why Cook got to
the pole, says the Statesman.
When Napoleon began his cam
paign in Italy the Austrian generals
and the older French generals said
that he was not a scientific soldier;
that in none of his campaigns had he
followed the rules of war set down
in the schools, but Napoleon, through
his so-called unscientific ways, won
victories.
We are inclined to believe that
both Cook and Peary reached the
pole.
Peary may demand the sympathy
of the navy clique and of those
Arctic explorers who never experience
ed any lower temperature than a
cold bottle, but he is rapidly losing
the respect of the great mass of
level-headed American people, who
love fair play and admire a gener-
Gus man.
If Cook is fakir the best way to
prove him to be a fakir would be for
Peary to remain silent, and Cook S
taking would finally expose it's au-
thor.
The trouble with the indiscreet
friends of Peary, and Peary himself,
is that they seem to feel to them be-
long the right of discovery of the
north pole, and that anybody else
who jumped in and discovered the
pole was an interloper.

There is an uneasy desire in GER
tain political circles to run Cover
nor Hay for United States Senator
His enemies will support him to get
rid of him. Some of his friends will
support him to exalt him, but the
whole scheme is an artful trap into
which Governor Hay will be sinvited

1.-The Shepherd King" in which
Wright Lorimer win be seen at the
Auditorium October Sth and 9th tells
the story of David and Saul and lends
itself readily to dramatic treatment,
the climaxes in the stirring life of the
psalmist occurring at just the right
periods for the stage effect. In max
ing the present dramatiZation of the
honored and noble theme the author
of THE Shepherd King" has chosen
to show David at the commencement
and apex of his career. He is first
shown as the shepherd lad on the Jul
dea hills, then as the youth who saw
ed his country from ruin by destroy
ing the giant Goliath, then as the tri-
umphant soldier OF Saul, but the hat
ed rival of the latter in the favor
OF the mnltitudes, and lastly as the
crowned King of Israel.

SHOULD NOT BE PARDONED

The office and plant of the Ward
ner, Idaho, News was destroyed by
fire Monday night as result, it is
claimed of the opposition of the
News to the granting of a pardon to
Arthur Goode, now serving a life
sentence in the Idaho penitentiary at
Boise. No stronger argument could
be offered against the pardon. If
Goode is backed by a gang of in
cendiaries he should be kept in the
penitentiary
Goode was sent to the penitentiary
for deliberately shooting a prostitute
who had thrown him over" for an
other man. He murdered her in cold
blood and his only defense was
drunkenness, but the state proved
that he, like all moral towards, ell
ed up on whiskey in order to get
nerve enough to commit the deed "
Goode is degenerate. He was rear
ed in Whitman county and formerly
attended school at Colfax His
father was a saloon keeper of the
vilest kind and Kid Goode, as Ar
thur was known in his boyhood days,
and even at the time he committed
murder, was a gambler in his father s
saloon, when only 5 or 16 years old.
He was reared among the most vi
cious and depraying scenes with
which a boy could be surrounded
and in his early youth the prediction
was frequently made that he would
die on the gallows." He only es-
capped by a narrow margin. but it
would have been much better for all
concerned had he been hung instead
of being sent to the penitentiary.
Goode is a natural product of the
saloons and Governor Brady will
make a grave mistake if he grants a
pardon to him at any time.
