vision, United Confederate Veterans,
to be held in Hattiesburg on October
12 and 13, was the principal topic dis
cussed at meeting of the local camp
of veterans held at the court house
in this city Saturday afternoon.
1t is the desire of the local camp to
make the reunion this year success
in every particular, and with that end
in view preparations were begun
early in order to complete arrange
ments for the entertainment of vet
Grams and visitors to the city on that
occasion.
At the meeting Saturday a commit
tee was appointed to confer with the
Hattiesburg Chapter, United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, with refer
ence to the matter of selecting
! speaker for the unveiling ceremonies
to be held here on the morning of the
first day of the reunion, when the
monument erected by Forrest
|
county to the memory of the
men and women of the Confederacy
will be unveiled. 1t is expected that
these ceremonies will consume the
entire forenoon of the first day.
The camp adopted resolution ex-
tending a cordial invitation to Mrs.
Yerger, president of the Mississippi
Division, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, to be present at the re-
union.
With reference to the matter of en-
tertainment, Captain ]. A. Beaumont,
of the Hattiesburg company of the
State Guard, appeared before the
meeting and formally rendered his
services to the veterans. Capt. Beau
mont stated that he had inquired into
the matter of securing battalion OF
the state guard to be present at the
reunion, and felt reasonably sure that
the matter could be arranged salts
factorily, if the presence of the guards
men should be desired by the vet
erans Capt. Beaumont has secured
fifteen hundred rounds of blank car
tridges, which he proposed to use in
sham battle on the last day of the
reunion.
The veterans were not in position
to advise Captain Beaumont definitely
with reference to their intentions II
this respect, as the presence of the
troops here would necessitate the ex
, penditure of an additional amount o.
money, and the camp is not at the
, present time in position, financially
to assume obligations in addition tt
those already contemplated. Captain
Beaumonts proposition will be gladl.
, accepted, however, in the event thu
camps finances will permit.
The camp adjutant was directed t.
: purchase 500 button badges to be use'
D at the reunion. The badges to b.
, bought are similar to those used a
= former reunions.

consequence is an increasing stream OF
ill-educated men who may have been
erammed with catalogues of pathology
cal facts, but who ought not to be
trusted with a suffering guinea pig.
The medical ideals of some of the
schools are apt to be quite different
from that of the public. The public
regards medicine as an art rather than
as a science. It expects from the doc
tor the graces of the heart as well as
of the head; it asks for culture, deli
cacy, refinement, and sympathy, as
well as for mental comprehension of
disease and remedy. Nothing that can
help to make the doctor an ingratiat-
ing figure by the bedside, can be out
side the proper scope of the medical
schools, and they cannot too quickly
raise their standards so as to exclude,
so far as it is possible, at least those
who are without the general education,
and consequently the personal habits,
of an intellectual culture.

MILWAUKEE'S NEW SOCIALIST
ADMINISTRATION.

Victor Berger has come this way to

The enemy's country" as Colonel
Bryan once called it-something about
Milwaukee under Socialistic sway.
Mr.. Berger is the man through whose
efforts Emil SeideI was recently elected
mayor of the city which several things,
including breweries, have made famous.
Seidel and Berger are tackling the big
gest problem that Socialism has so far
had to deal with in the United States.
And what are they doing. Says Ber-
ger:
Our policy has been Just this: Every
office that has 10 do with matters Of
policy shall be filled by a Social Dem
Ocrat, for that Is no more than a natural
proceeding if we intend to carry out the
party platform But every office that
requires an expert is filled by the best
expert we can get, no matter 10 what
party he belongs. We succeeded in get

is a good example.
a very good example! Respected
and progressive health commissioners
are necessary if civic progress IS to
be well balanced. Some of our Eastern
cities have had a very unsatisfactory
experience with health commissioners
whose power in office has certainly not
been based on any marked personal
or professional distinction But even
in some Of these cities there are glim-
mers of a new era.

dents of American politics realized that
Milwaukee would be worth watching
Judging by Berger's talk, the breezy

Then, later, we shall see what the
citizens of Milwaukee think about it
and whether Seidel and Berger have

kee better.

RESULT OF THE RECENTIOWA
PRIMARIES.

Returns from the primaries held in
Iowa this week show that on the whole
the progressives have gained in
strength, though they have not won
a complete victory. They have scored
heavily in the defeat Of Representative
Hull Of the Des Moiues district. who
has been beaten for the nomination
by large majority Representative
Hull is one OF the foremost members
OF the Cannon organization in the
House, Is chairman of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs, and has
been in Congress for twenty years. His
defeat Is due TO the campaign waged
against him on the basis of anti-Can-
nonism. Speaker Cannon himself went
into Mr.. Hull's district some months
ago and spoke out for his return. 1t
Is significant Of the sentiment in Iowa
that this speech in itself was one of
the obstacles in the way of the renom-
ination Of the veteran chairman of the
Military Affairs Committee.
But one of the old-time regulars

suit of the war waged on them by the
Progressives. went down David B. Hen
dersOn, then Cousins, then Lacey. then
Hepburn, and now Hull. Representa-
tive Walter /. Smith is left and is re-
turned to the House by a substantial
majority, after a hard fight. Repre-
sentative Kennedy, who is a regular
and Cannon man, but not one Of
the Old Guard, is returned. In the
Eighth district, formerly represented by
Col w. ?. Hepburn, a regular has been
nomin, ted, but his defeat at the polls

tative Dawson, regular, progressive

In the nomination of Governor Car

have been beaten, their candidate,
Garst. being defeated Carroll, however,
has pulled through by so narrow a
margin that it cannot be viewed with
much satisfaction by his supporters.
The regulars will control the next State
convention, but viii hardly do 90 by

course OF those Iowa men in Congress
who voted against the tariff bill.

Jects to the practice of~street car con-

This MissoUrian has presented a bill
in Congress TO prohibit the conductors
in the District of Columbia from con-
tinuing this practice. He does not sug-
sest that they carry wet sponges along
or offer any substitute whatever. He Is
simply opposed TO the present methods
and wants legislation to prohibit its
continuance.
The bill in question reads: 1T shall
be unlawful for any street railway con-
ductor to eXpectorate upon his hands OF
fingers or in any manner mOisten his
hands or fingers with saliva when hand

MEDICAL EDUCATION AND ITS
RESPONSIBLE CRITICS.

The report issued by the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching is a weighty criticism of
medical education throughout the coun-
try.
So far as the general structures are
concerned it is a matter of common
knowledge that they are well founded.
1t IS much too easy in many places to
obtain a medical diploma, as must be
the case where the vicious element of
commereiaism is to be found in the
medical school, the last place on earth
where it should be found. It would
hardly be an exaggeration to say that
diplomas are sometiDea sold, and the
