HAPPY GONDOKORO IS EN-
FETE TODAY.

Happy Gondokoro! The glory of
Cancer which suffused its sands pales
before a superior vision; the morning
voice with which Memnon greets the
sun takes up a loftier strain; the far
famed allegory on the banks of the Nile
is startled from its sleep. Out of the
dark, troubled heart of Uganda; out OF
the tanglewood Of the forest primeval,
out of the tolls of the tsetse and the
coils of great serpents at last comes
Bwana Tumba Biant and radiant, he
bursts upon the corporate limits and
the town council of Gondokoro. The
bonfres are lit. the address of welcome
is illuminated. On the outskirts he is
greeted with the bugle blasts of Chief
Keriba-Teeted with that rich, epicene
air which is at once God Save the
King" and MY Country, 'Tis of Thee, .

secures TO party the right to select
his witnesses. Be this as it may, the
Journal continues, the best hope of
securing reform lies in the enactment of
statutes prohibiting medical experts
from accepting amy different fees either
for attendance at court or for services, -
and concludes with an appeal to the
medical societies TO aid the reform
movement by bringing forward the
moral issue involved and impressing it
upon students and practitioners. These
societies, with their high standards Of
ethics and proprietv, can do much to
relieve a distressing situation. There
has not been a notable case in twenty
years in which expert medical testi-
mony played part which has not con-
firmed the wisdom of this suggestion.
1t has a higher ethical value than the
squeamishness which looks upon paid
advertising as low grade of felony.

POVERTY AND DIVORCE PROB
LENS AND THE REMEDY.

Here, having come out of Pittsburg,
is the secret means of escape from the
thraldom of poverty, and the unhappi-
ness of divorce, too:
Unless YOU have $4,000 a year you
shall not marry.
This - the commandment of the
Rev. Wright Gibson, an enterprising
preacher-philosopher of the Smoky
City, who, in the course of sermonizing,
procaims the emancipation of a great
portion Of the American people. This,
indeed, sounds like the wisdom of Solo
mon, illuminated by its PRONUNCIATION
in a highly commercial age.

A CHANCE FOR HARMONY IN
STEAD OF CONFLICT.

On Wednesday night the members
of the Board of Trade viii be called
upon to vote on an amendment to the
bylaws of their organization which
reads:
Nor shall a director in any similar
local organization be eligible Tor cleo
tion as a director in the Washington
Board Of Trade.
We presume that the amendment is
intended to keep for the Board of Trade
the undivided efforts of its directors.
Many Of the members of that organ
ization feel that a man cannot do good
work as director of the Board of
Trade while holding similar office in
the Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps
this is true. Whether it is or not the
amendment which the Board of Trade
is called upon to vote for once more
prompts inquiry as to the necessity o;
two trade organizations.

Tales Gathered
In The Capital

THE well-lInown fact that Government
red tape sometimes runs TO extremes
is well eSemplifled in a fragrant case Just
decided by the Comptroller Of the Treas

money TO build locks in the Ouachita
river, Louisiana, and Just when the
water was at low stage al lock 4. and
the work could be pushed most rapidly.

smallpox. There was no time TO appeal
TO Washington for advice. Neither Of
the men was resident OF Monroe. two
miles away, and the parish Of Ouachita
refused to bear the expense Of caring
for them. But from the nature OF the
disease II was absolutely necessary that
immediate steps be taken TO isolate the
men, give them proper medical atten-
tion. and prevent the spread Of the in
lection. or the work would have 10 be
stopped. So the engineer in charge took
the matter upon himself He hired a
nurse and doctor for the smallpox pa

Then he put in the bill, and a very
moderate one st that. Board for the
two was charged at only 80 cents a day:
the nurse was paid SA, and the doctor

was $3.50, and the engineer asked that

lives Of two men, and, incidentally, saw

appropriations made by Congress for the
Improvement OF the river
Did the argus-eyed Treasury auditors
see the matter in that light? Not by 2

wrote an appealing letter setting forth
the facts, but the Comptroller OF the

Meaning of Change in Plans

European Politicians.

VIENNA. Feb 21.-Prince Nicholas OF
Greece, who was OF the way from St
Petersburg 70 Athens to attend a coun-
eli Of the royal family, was intercepted
today az Trieste by a dispatch. telling
him not 70 come 20 Athens at this time.
The message indicates an unexpected
development in the Greek crisis, but
whether it means that King George has
gained control OF the army league and
has decided not 10 abdicate. or that the
presence OF Nicholas in Athens would
add to the danger confronting the royal
family, is not known.

"FINGY'' CONNERS AND BOSS
MURPHY IN A FIGHT.

Stirring as the New York political
situation had already become, it has
been made additionally entertaining by
the development of a frst-class row be-
tween the Democratic State chairman,
William J. Conners, best known as
"Fingy," and Boss Murphy, the leader
of Tammany. While there were many
signs that the recent New York city
election was body blow for Murphy
and Tammany, both the leader and the
organization are apparently fairly well
recovered by this time Murphy has set
out to capture the chairnanship from
Conners at a special meeting of the
Democratic State committee Thursday
and it looks as if a battle royal were
ahead
Coming Just at time when the Re
publican leaders are worrying about
how they are going to carry the State
of New York next fall, the clash OF

circles, IL looks now as if the Demo.

REFORMING The ABUSE OF
EXPERT TESTIMONY.

The use of expert testimony, and
particularly that of medical experts,

it has passed the stage of hippant
sneers and Is now engaging the atten.
tion of the most eminent representa-

IS chiefly concerned. New York. among

court shall designate certain members
of the medical profession in each
judicial district who alone shall be call
ed as experts. except in extraordinary
cases. and who shall be subject to cross

The suggestion is combated, and IL
