Taking the stand that the medical eX-
pert should be eliminated from the witness
stand in criminal and civil law suits. Or.
l.. II. Salter Of Norfolk, Neb president
Of the Nebraska state Medical association,
tonight recommended legislation in this
state. such as has been enacted In one
or two other states provided for the ep-
poi1ment of a commission Of competent
medAal menlby the county TO assemble the
medical data In given case and then to
report their findings to the jury. He de-
clared that the wide differences Of opinion
given to juries by so-called medical ex-
perts based on the same data, holds up the
medical profession to public criticism and
works for miscarriage Of justice
How can we expect a jury TO twelve
men who know nothing Of medicine TO form
an idea as to the truth OF the case at
hand when one doctor will solemnly testify
on his oath that the victim could have
died only from strychnine poisoning and
when another called by the opposing side
in the case and OF corresponding high re-
pute will testify that the victim positively
did not die from strychnine poisoning
asks the doctor I'm his address.
The Jury Is left to guess at the facts
he continued, "and the situation justfies
any guess that. they may hazard because
the scientists, who are supposed to be au-
thortles in these questions that the laymen
has not studied, have given the jurymen
the widest possible range for a verdict and
has become responsible for any finding
hat may be made varying all the way from
guilty OF murder in the first degree to the
,ther extreme of not guilty at all"
Il contend that commission of scientists
Iained along medical lines would be able
20 form very much more intelligent con
.luslun as to the merits of a given medical
problem than a jury Of twelve men who
snow nothing Of the technical points in
volved save what they are told by the con-
Trajectory experts"

The president appealed for united sup

phasizcs the need of vigorous action by
the medical fraternity as well as the pub
lie for a still greater crusade against tuber-
culosis which he declared is the cause OF
one-thrd the deaths in this country and
halle of those who die between the ages OF
10 and 81 years.

LINCOLN, May. lO.-(Special)-The state
railway commission has received another
letter from the chairman OF the Maine
state railway commission, but It will not
for TIE present at least give out this letter
for publication. In fact the commission
has issued orders TO the office help that
certain death and destruction awaits any
one who even mentions that letter, let alone
dare to furnish 1t to the press
The first letter received from the Maine
chairman was in answer to the letter from
the Nebraska commission asking what 1t
thought OF giving President Taft a tip
about who should be appointed to the
United States Supreme court. The Maine
letter writer said the suggestion was silly,
an insult to the president and several other
things which he said he hoped the COM
mission could understand The Nebraska
commission wrote back and asked WHY
to all these statements and also why the
chairman of the board had used the word
'I' throughout the letter when it had been
meant for the entire commission.
Well, this second letter. which has been
under discussion by the advisers" of the
commission for several days not only re-
iterates what the Maine commission thinks
of the suggestion of the Nebraska commits
sion, but 1t explains that II" was used, be-
cause the letter was addressed to the chair
man Of the Maine commission.
The other letters which have been re-
ceiyed from commissions over the country
are also suppressed for the present as c.

fragette to tell man some
plain truths about himself
and it isn't often a periodical as pop
ular and as great an authority on
everyday matters as the Saturday
Evening Post takes up the cudgels
for the ever-trodden upon female
''sect."
In thumb-nail editorial The Post
said, last week:
Blaming the women has been a
popular masculine consolation since
Adams time. 4 was ruined by
women, said male citizen some
time ago, as he was about to start
for the penitentiary. He meant that
he left his home and stole his banks
money to riot with females, a ma
jority Of whom would have been
quietly at work in some productive
occupation if economic conditions
that are made exclusively by men
had given them fair chance
And doesn't that let down the bars
for a riot of argument.
Of all the ridiculous fashions which
the world has seen, the year of grace
1910 has had an abundance None
Of us can forget the hats, the hair,
the erratic skirts, the barbarous jew
elry and the rest of the fal-lals with
which women have bedecked and car
featured themselves.
And men made every one of the
models, invented the styles, manu-
featured the product, and, in many
instances, sold them direct to the
"victims'
But mans responsibility didn't stop
here.
Haven't you, among your acquaint
ances, a mouse-like woman who
never wore a rat" nor a bunch of
puffs, nor a false curl; whose skirts
were cut severely on the "gored"
model Of many inches circumference
at the bottom; whose hat of this year
was a modification of the one she
wore year before last; who looked
better in her house dress than she
did in her out-of-date best"
And do you recall seeing her often,
mixing with other women? Do you
remember seeing her, with her hus-
band, at the theatre, or church, or
visiting the neighbors of an evening
with her life's partner?
Odds are against it. Why?
Because her husband realizes her
Out-of-dateness; he mentally com
pares her get-up with that of score
of other women whom he meets
daily, and he rebels at being seen
with what looks like a feminine relic
of the days befo' the war of '63.
Well, whose fault is it that the
woman in question hasn't better raj
ment? Not SO loud, please; yes of
course we knew it was her husbands
fault, but he doesn't like to think
so.
And unconsciously he is helping
the other women to wear bigger
puffs, ditto rats, more curls, tighter
skirts and also to apply the rouge
ct blanche with more generous
"dabs."
By his admiration of the things
which he deplores Gin PRINT poor
downtrodden woman has become a
slave to his caprice in the matter of
fashion Excepting, of course, his
wife, and she's kept too busy looking
after his stOmach), until the mon
strous development of the fads of
dress become top-heavy enough to
die by the weight of ridicule brought
to bear on them.
Seriously speaking, woman's abb
Ject attitude to man in the concrete

that she, also in the concrete, real

ment? Well, then, have you noted the
attitude, socially, of men and women
towards a man who has offended
society? The women may snub him,
refuse to ask him to tea-fghts and
card games, but if the men stick to
him, can't you see the sun of social
approval smile again on the offender,
and doesn't he bob up as serenely in
the social swim as before?
But if a woman errs-oh, we'll,
you all know how the women treat
HER, and have you noted also how
the men treat her?
You don't see them throwing any
social life-lines out to her, and you
don't see them wig-wagging any signs
of sympathy where any one can see
them, do you?
Neither do you note their ostra-
cising the man who is equally guilty,
by the men of the same set
Why?
Because the man invariably blames
the woman, and let's it go at that.
When women will wake to the fact
that they hold, not the balance of
power only in family affairs, but in
every matter relating to human life,
they will realize the tremendous
amount of time they have lost in try
ing to accomplish that which lies
ready at hand.
Every state has walked to the need
Of the hour in evry walk Of. life.
Development of mind should be the
aim now Of every woman who is able
to read or write.
The world has need of the woman
with brains and the ability to use
them; it doesn't need any new code
nor political party, to make their
power for good felt
The man who blames his downfall
on woman has neither raised him
self nor lowered the woman by the
admissions; he is proving, uncon-
sciously, the old saw anent a
wOman's bending mans will to hers.
Women are to blame in large meas
ure for their own suffering, but
they are not nearly so largely to
blame for mans straying from the
path of rectitude as man would like
to have it appear.
Which, reduced to a final analysis,
comes perilOusly near to placing man
and woman on an equal basis, doesn't
it?
And they've even dramatized Mrs.
Hetty Green!
Wonder what The Colonel got in
his stocking?
Maybe Andrew Carnegie's "peace
fund" is to assist in making peace
for him in the Hereafter.
And the ice-man knows just how
good the goldman feels with this
spell of weather" lasting so long.
The complacence of some of these
politicians passes belief, almost.
Serene Payne says he sis willing to
revise the Tariff"
Some perfectly good resolutions,
showing no signs of wear nor use,
are due to be resurrected shortly and
saved for another year.

the same moral fibre as the one who
is afraid Of the dark: each fears the
