DIES WITHOUT PHYSICIAN"
Passing of a Christian Scientist
Draws Attention.

Editor The Washington Herald;
The above title of an article In your
paper OF recent date drew my attention.
The death referred 10 was that Of a
Christian Scientist" in Utica, n. Y,
who is said to have refused 10 summon
physician" and a post-mortem exam
ination by the coroner revealed that the
woman died OF cancer OF the stomach.
For the past six years the press has been
full OF such news items as Dies after
operation" Medical science could not
save him" After consulting the best
specialists abroad and al home. medical
skill failed TO render any help" &c, &C.
Now. when one Christian Scientist"
dies without being cut up and expert
mented upon. 10 say nothing Of being
separated from money enough to pay for
burial expenses, many people who have
no idea Of the absolute impotency Of So
called medical science" % in such
chronic diseases, think a crime was COM
mitted by refusal 10 call a physician!
It must be still fresh in the public mind
that Dr. Bull the celebrated cancer
specialist" OF New York City, sue
cumbed 10 cancer himself When "spe-
cialists' die OF their speciality what hope
is there of their helping others?
A man who viii drown If he enters
deep water is not much OF a help to a
drowning person. Or. Beverly Robinson,
clinical professor Of medicine in Bellevue
Hospital Medical College. recently said:
do we really cure chronic diseases? I
fail to have seen il in the large majority
of instances"
That is the statement of a celebrated
physician with over forty years Of ex-
perience to go by.
The regular treatment for chronic
diseases to-day Is to corrode the system
with poisonous drugs. which PROSTATE
the vital powers, and utterly blast every
effort nature is making to cure the dis
ease. Millions OF people in this country
are finding this out. and are happily
seeking other methods OF cure in which
nature is taken into consideration.
Witness what a furore there has re-

They are still hunting for some serum"

to cure the malady. InfantiIe paralysis
is about as contagious as appendicitis"
yet the health officers of Washington
manage 10 keep mothers on the scare
and in a constant state OF worry lest
their child should get the terrible
malady'
Last May the mortality from cerebro-
spinal meningitis in Greater New York
City was 100 per cent. yet the profession
has a serum which absolutely controls
this disease" Where was the serum
about that time?
Those who are studying nature are
adopting rational methods OF cure, while
our present-day regulars" by chasing
the serum fad are reviying Chinese med

part of this matter is that these bigots

 Legislatures all over the coun- try have acknowledged the evil of the loan shark by framing laws de signed to prevent his swindline game. But. as the Citizen says, the rascals get around the law by making unfortunate borrowers pay the interest in advance. So that on the face of the mortgage there ifs no evidence of any interest charged outside of the legal rate. Such men are as disreputable as sneak thieves They are violating the law every day, and all good business mer know it Yet the sharks presume to join commercial clubs and class themselves as reputable citizens. They have the diamonds and the good clothes to help out appearances, to say nothing of nerve. The sooner the iawIess nature of their business is recognized and they are treated as pariahs, the better 1t will be for any community.

THE SCUM OF THE EARTH

The Tucson Citizen rightly says
 The worst parasite that in- fests Tucson today Is the loan shark Notwithstanding the us- ury laws passed by the last legislature. the loan shark is al. lowed to flourish, taking ad- vantage of the unfortuna.e to ply his ten per cent a month game. The sharks have a practice, it is said, of daJrct- ing ii:e interest from .he loan before !. is made in an effort to avoif the usury laws. The city con ell has taken notice of this practice and a municipal plan of making small loans to the poor at reasonable prices is being discussed. The loan shark has plenty of nerve. He seeks to be classed with rep utable business men. He joins their organizations in an effort op make his business appear legitimate and respectable. The loan shark has no place in the community.

The joint resolut on introduced by Senator Culbertson of Texas, deciar- ing null and void an article of the proposed constitution of New Mexico. is not without precedent. but it is unusual. The article in question re- lates to the boundary line between Texas and New Mexico, and the Tex ss senator's action indicates that there will be congress onal objection to the contsitation unless the ob- jectionabIe clause is eliminated.
 The mere suggestion that congress may reject a portion of New Mexico's constitution and accept the rest offers material for thought in Ar1zonx.

A CONGRESS OF LAME DUCKS

The last session of the present
 congress, which has just assembled,
 is seemingly not a particularly hap
 py gathering, owing to the fact
 that so large a proportion of the
 members have not been reelected
 to the next congress. and are, there
 fore, serving their last session in
 the national legislature In the house
 of representatives are 12o members
 who will not be present when the next
 congress assemblies in December
 1911. While more than eighty of
 the retiring members are republicans
 the democrats are not without theiI
 lame ducks in the shape of men who
 have been replaced by others of the
 opposite party or who have failed
 of renominations by their own party.
 Even the senate will undergo .
 material change after March 1 next, and many faces that have been fam liar in the upper house of congress
 for many years will be conspicuous
 by their absence. Some Of them
 are very able men, but they have
 been caught in the maelstrom of popular displeasure and have been retired to private life Some of them have been retired, either be- cause they saw the handwriting on the wall or because they had tired Of the quarrels within their own party. Sucfr men as Hale rnd Aid dich, who have been leaders for so long that the senate will look strange without them. While the upper house of congress will not undergo change of party control like the lower house, it will be more evenly divided between the two great par ties than has been the case in many years.
 The radical transformation in the political control of the house of rep from the republicans to the democrats is no new thing. In | 1890 the democratic majority was much more overwhelming. than it four years afterwards the house was republican by 142 majority. It Is, in fact, seldom that the strength | of the two great parties in the house of representatives has been sufficient y close to hamper the majority. The i have had control, without l a break, for sixteen years, but un- less precedents are valueless they are apt to be in the minority for some time to come, as landslides are not over frequent occurrence.
 There is some consolation for the lame ducks" in the reflection that in many cases the people who have recently rejected them will think better of the mat ter and later on again return them to public life. Some, of course. will bid final adieu to their compression al careers on March 4 next, but they will probably be a minority of the full number of those retiring. They
 should console themselves with the
 reflection that republics are pro verbally ungrateful and that under popular form Of government the people have the privilege of choosing
 their representatives without regard to past records or any other consid- eration but their own sovereign will.

SENATOR YOUNG, MosSsAck

the governor of Iowa, 'Lafe" Young, editor of the Des Moines Capital is permitted to rattle around ID the shoes of the late Senator Doll iyer. That the shoes are much too large for him is evident from his stump speech delivered in the senate the other day. although it gives no additional information to those who are acquainted with the new senator and the Iowa situa- ton.
 Senator Young has devoted all his newspaper career to the gentle art of tickling the downtrodden farm. CT under the chin. 1t pleases the dear brother of the oat straw to be told every day in the editorial columns of leading newspaper that he is the. very salt of America and that he should be protected to the limit by tarif taxes on wheat. corn, potatoes and rutabagas. The tarif is for the producer. quoth Lafe. and the producer is the Iowa farmer. b'gcsh- Hands of, villain. says he to Senator Cummins who would revise the wooien schedule: for do not the Iowa farmers oc- casionaIiy raise sheepe A few here and there, with Mary's little lamb duly counted. is sufficient reason for leaving the tax on wool un- touched, no matter if the poor of the hailsoEl shnssvcr ;l saaoi1y or pay a robbers tribute to the woolen trust And the joke of it all is that the woolen schedule hits the Iowa farmer as hard as anybody else. 1t is not the new senator from Iowa. but Senator Cumminr who is working for the advantage of the farmer
 Do the farmers know itr They do not-yet. Hence Young is sen ator. His tariff on wheat, etcetera, which never has and never will make the difference of a fraction of cent in the price of the pro ducts, has been a great slogan in Iowa for those politicians who would continue excessive protection to the industrial combines. It is so simple that even a child can work it. No need to defend any schedules except those applying 70 the farmer. But when the defense is made, and the farmer assured of the esteem and devotion of the stand patters, he is casually reminded that once the protection of the steel trust and others of the same ilk is lowered, the tariff on wheat and eggs will also suffer Absurd as it seems, this is precisely how Iowa has been kept in line for the rob ber tariff all these years, and Senator Young has been at the front with the argument. in sea son and out of season Perhaps he honestly believes in all this gam mon, but it is more accurate. per haps, to say that he is moss back who, having started on that line of economic reasoning a quart CT of a century ago. forgets tha the world has progressed, and that even Iowa has progressed, until ere l1Bg he will be so far in the reai hat the vanguard caA no longer Esten to the tiresome music of the one-stringed harp.
