PHYSICIAN OR ENGINEER?

Philadelphia. New York and a few
New Jersey towns have set the example
of putting some other than physician
at the head of their health boards.
Philadelphia has selected a sanitary
engineer for that position and New
York a chemist. This leads the En-
cheering News to mention the new de-
parture with approval.
The News thinks that modern health
protection work is far beyond the ca
pacity of the practicing physician. 1t
does not object, however, to physi-
clan, who, by special study of SANTA
ton, has qualified himself for superin-
tendence Of community's health.
No hard and fast rule can be laid
down in matters like this. Neither an
NJ. D. nor a Phi. D. nor a c. E. neces-
sarily makes one qualified for chair
man of a board of health in a large
city. Other things being equal, physi-
clan is natural selection to make

The Monroe Doctrine.

1t behOoVeS the conservatives or the
Monroe doctrine to be on their guard
during the '.ext few years. They have
seen with jealous eyes how German
immigration has changed the racial
complexion of some Brazilian states,
and have dreamed of an invasion by
the kaiser'S hosts which would found
a strong South American colony as a
base of supplies. A far more serious
coup is now threatened-more serious
because it is real and will undoubt-
eddy succeed in its purpose. On May
% an exhibition of German art is to
be opened at Buenos Ayres, the first
exhibition of the sort in South Amer
lea, but not the last. In 1911 there
is to be a similar exhibition in Rio de
Janeiro, and there will be one in VAL
paraiso the following year. Moreover
plans are afoot to capture the interna-
tional art exhibition which Santiago
de Chile will open in September of this
year.
The exhibition at Buenos Ayres will
be held at the time the Argentine
republic celebrates the centennial of
its Independence. The German gov
eminent is assisting in the promotion
of the exhibit through various de-
partments, and there is a society for
the propagation of German art abroad
which is actively advertising and en-
couraging the movement. The Vos-
sisch Zeitung says that the works to
vases of living artists it having been
demonstrated at a French exhibition
last year that Argentina has an eye
for art and purse to pay for it. The
incidental purpose of the exhibition
is to increase the prestige of Germany
in the Western hemisphere.
Now the question is whether we will
stand for this glazing violation of the
Monroe doctrine. 1t will do to say
that art is outside the sphere Of world
politics. The secretary of state at
Troy, Asia Minor, was of that same
opinion many years ago. and admit
ted into the capital a fine example of
wood carving left behind by the be-
sieging Greeks. He lost his job the
next day, and so did all the rest of
Priam's cabinet. while Priam lost his
crown and mis- head with it. There
fore it behooves all jealous upholders of
the Monroe doctrine to keep their
eyes on the kaiser. These art exhibit
lions may be only the entering wedge.

Tunqsten.

Little was heard about tungsten
till the last year or so. when 1t began
to be successfully used as a filament
for electric lamps. The production
in this country in 1909 of tungsten
concentrates reckOned at GO per cent
of tungstic trioXide was 1,95S short
tons, valued at $746.130, says the Geo.
logical Survey, whose figures are
based upon returns received from pro-
ducers. OF this amount Boulder
county, Col, produced 1,4O1 tons, val
ued at $550,2S0. In 1908 the total
production was GIL short tons, valued
at 1929, 955, and there was therefore
an increase in 1909 Of 1887 tons in
output and of $516,175 in value, or
about 200 per cent. The tonnage in
1909 is the largest yet recorded, and
the value of the product was exceeded
only by that of 1907, which was $780,
O4S. The average unit price for the
whole amount produced in the United
States in 1909 was $3.50. In the
early part of 1907 the price was S14.
but 1t dropped to 80 and later to SIS.
and was still lower for most of 1908.

now, moral all through, in tissue and

and brain, in sensation and thought;
and that no injustice fails to get its
recompense, now and here. The moral
law admonishes us not to make our
