WILSON AND THE TARIFF.

Woodrow Wilson is quoted as
saying that he believes that a cam
paign Tor governor should be con-
Quoted on state issues only, leaving
national affairs for the congressional
campaign. Commenting on this,
certain republican ring. organs
have said that Mr.. Wilson is trying
to 'duck" the important issue of
the tariff. The republicans can
thank their lucky stars If Mr.. Wilson
does ignore the tariff, for If there is
any one subject that he is thorough
ly posted on, 1t Is the tariff. Mr.
Wilson is recognized as one of the
leading, If not the greatest political
economist in the country and he
probably forgets more about the
tariffs relation to the cost of living
and other features CONNECTED there
with than all the republican poll
ticians can learn in a year. II MIR.
Wilson is not going to discuss ma
tional issues let the republicans
congratulate themselves, and thank
the democratic candidate for sparing
them the embarrassment.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

is pointed out that one OF these big
hospitals has only two physicians ON
the staff. That may be true. But it
must be remembered that in these
big hospitals the medical staff is on
duty at the hospital all the time.
Two physicians could easily do the
work here if they did nothing but
attend to hospital practice. But
this is a small city and a hospital
with a staff the members of which
reside in all sections, d~evoting the
greater part of their time ito private
practice, cannot be in the same class
with the big city institutions which;
are always pointed to as models. In
fact, the very argument advanced by
the six physicians that they should
have popular support because they
have devoted so much time to the
work at the hospital without, as
they say, compensation, argues for
a larger staff SO that the work may.
be more equally divided and the six
doctors who have borne the burden
so long will not be compelled to de-
vote so much of their valuable time
to the institution.

CHAOS In THE HEALTH BOARD,

1t is to be regretted that the good
work the Board of Health has been
doing all summer should be brought
ito a sudden ending through the
prompt acceptance of the resigna-
lions of four of the members, dis
rupting the whole department and
throwing everything into confusion
Here is a city of over 10000 inhab-
itants with practically no Board of
Health. There has hardly been a
Quorum present since the new mem
bers were named. The board is
without a head, no committees have
been appointed and, as matters
stand now, the department is run
ming itself. Perhaps this suits some
people, but it is decidedly ~unsatfs-
factory to those who have the well
fare of the city at heart. The
present chaos reminds us Of the days
when one physician used to dictate
the policy of the whole board, meet
ings were held about once in six
months and then only to hear the
report of the so-called inspector.
Since that time, and until a few
weeks ago, we had a health depart
ment worthy of the name, but WE
seem to be going backward instead
of forward In this particular. If the
new members do not want to act,
why do they assume the responsible
tiles? Who is to 'blame for this
condition of affairs?

Only a year or two ago it was a
democrat who honestly confessed
that he was ashamed of his party.
Today the table is turn2. We heard
a good republican party man say a
day or two ago that he was ashamed
to be known as a republican. When
it reaches that stage it is pretty
nearly time to do something,

the truth has never been advertised

against it,
The teachers association proposes
this year to make the matter plain

there will be but litte opposition,
