MAD DOG PALACES

~ pubic health bulletin Just is
sued at Washington the national
health authorities repudiate certain
mad dog fallacies and advises those
skeptical OF findings at a scientific
laboratory. This report from Surgeon
General Wyman's bureau admits that
rabies may not be uniformly fatal
though it is almost so.
We do not know" saws the 70.
port, that artificial immunity can be
conferred during the usual incnba.
ton period. The possibilities of anti.
rabies serum have not been exhaust.
ed by trial. but our present data do
not warrant US to expect very much
benefit from this source
Mad dogs are not always widowed
ana frothlng at the mouth and de-
termined upon attacking every nar.
son they meet. The report contends
mat when the attack first begins 10
develop dogs are frequently more
piayIuily inclfned-the rabfd dog is
sick; he is not necessarily running
wild and furious.
The dog isfrequently obedient up 10
late stage, and often seems to have
bone in his throat, or to have sns.
tanned injury to the back.
Another fallacy is the general be-
lief that rabies are far more easilv
transmitted in the summer than in
other months. The explanation is that
more people are moving about and
become subject to attack. The maladv
IS not confined to climate or region
t is liable to occur in the Arctic or
the equatorial jungles. Dogs. wolves
coyotes and skunks seem to be espe.
cially susceptible.
The maidstone and the chicken
breasts as cures are arraigned "a
real dangers. because they frequently
prevent people from seeking other
remedies. Lastly, human hydropbo.
6iacs do not seek to bite other per.
sons. The average period Of incuba.

spite popular clamor for his removal.
A large portion of the public and the
press has been influenced by the out
cry. Few papers defend Ballinger;
the majority has joined in hammering
him. With many of them it is easier
to swim with the tide; to follow the
crowd. than take the unpopular side
The Hawk-Eye chooses to do its own
thinking and reach its own conclus-
ions. 1t distrusts the motives of the
assailants of Ballinger. 1t is an hon
cred American maxim to assume the
innocency of the accused until guilt
is proved. The traducers of Ballinger
have not proved their charges. Presi-
dent Taft retains his faith in his
secretary of the interior. The Hawk
Eye admires the Presidents fealty to
his friends and official subordinate.
It accepts the Presidents judgment.

TRADE IMPROVEMENT.

The Iron Trade Review, one of the
leading publications in the from trade
speaks OF the more hopeful view OF
trade conditions of late following
more general buying In small lots.
The announcement OF the L. s. Steel
Company that its orders had fallen
off TO the extent OF million tons. fol-
lowed by the cheering statement that
prices in some lines of steel had fall
len TO the extent of 81 and SIS a ton
and from 81 TO So all along the line
had had a dual effect-one TO cause a
slight halt in business enterprises.
But the reduction of prices viii en-
courage going forward with the build
ing plans which are pending in every
city and in the aggregate amount to
an enormous volume OF business.
1t is fair to say on the whole that
the business outlook is improving.
Some contend that ii was discourag-
Ing TO degree TO have the renewal
OF political agitation especially OF the
threats of warfare on business organ
izatons. but that claim need not be
taken TOO seriously even when pre-
sented by politicians OF note. Recent
rains have greatly improved condi-
tons in many parts OF the country.
Crops are regarded as well secured
in the main and fairly large so that
while prices remain high. owing to
the enormous advance in mechanical
industry with the comparatively little
Increase in acreage devoted TO food
5Foducts, the prospect OF abundance
of work in the factories and foun-
Tries, together with return to the
son on the part OF many who find
'rofit in it at present prices, the gen
sral state OF trade is naturally regard
ID as more hopeful than II was a few
months ago.

and state, as well as municipal. 1t is
almost impossible to imagine a state
OF affairs without them. A self-goy-
erning people would be left almost
helpless. Voters would not have the
information necessary to hold them
selves together. to say nothing of the
comparative immunity from public
retribution that would be afforded
dishonest office holders. Napoleon de-
clared that he feared three newspa-
pers more than hundred thousand
bayonets. So does every incumbent of
a public office fear them If his acts
will not bear scrutiny.
Every municipality receives the
earnest assistance of all the newspa-
pers in it, no matter what their char
acter or party affiliations. A yellow
journal bent only on attaining its
own selfish purposes can often ac-
complish what more conscientious pa
pers try for in vain. Unjust criticism
is often a spur as well as a warning.
No congress is safe without vigor-
Gus minority, and no municipal ad-
ministration is kept SO well up to the
mark without newspaper opposition
as with it.

Passing Of the Country Doctor

While all authorities admit that
there are too many doctors in Amer
lea today and that the medical
schools are turning them out in far
greater numbers than will be needed
Tor generations to come, the closing
OF the smaller medical colleges, as
planned by the Carnegie Foundation,
viii have q serious effect upon the
country at large And for this reas-
on: The crossroads doctor is already
passing.
The heads of the big medical
colleges receive letters almost every
day from small country towns saying
that the village doctor is dead and
that there is q good opening for a
young physician. The graduates OF
the big medical schools who have
spent seven or eight years in fitting
themselves for their life work are I'M
willing TO settle down in small COM
munities. They want to begin their
practice IN the cities where there is
an opportunity to make a good in

specialized along certain lines. They
do not want TO engage in a general
practice, especially in small town
where even with the hardest work it
IS impossible 10 make more than SO
COO or $4,000 year Accordingly, the
country towns are supplied today by
the smaller medical colleges. which
students can enter direct from high
school. The students at these col
leges are usually without much mon
ey and they return to their country
districts to practice. So when many
OF these smaller medical schools are
wiped ont of existence-as they will
be within comparatively short time
the country will be confronted with
a new problem-the problem of the
village doctor.
The graduates OF the big schools
will not settle in towns of $500 in.
habitants and when the old doctors
die big districts will be left without
proper medical attention.

Government Without Newspapers.

Cleveland (O.) Leader: The Des

Grafton Of the newspapers for its sue

must be borne in mind that the same
thing is true TO every form OF city
government Of every state in the
United States.
Newspapers, being made by men,
are fallible. A few of them are pub

maintained for the purpose of making
money By playing on the prejudices

the newspapers Of the United States,

DR.. Henry PTichett of the Carnegie
Foundation says there is not the great
need of country doctors that there
used to be, for the reason that the
modern physician in his automobile
can cover three or four times as much
ground as his predecessor. Then. too,
the telephone and other modern ap
planes make his work quicker and
easier. However on muddy roads the
automobile cannot always be depend
ed upon. The cross roads doctor is
needed and if young physicians can
not be induced to take UP that sort
of practice great suffering is bound
to result
At the present time there are les
medical schools in the United States
DR. Prichett declares that one-fifth
of that number, properly supported
and distributed, could produce all the
physicians required at the present
time. The stand taken by the officials
of the Carnegie Foundation-its re-
fusal to pension teachers except from
the more important colleges where the
standards are high and its refusal to
aid the smaller institutions lis fore
ing many of the smaller medical
schools to close their doors. These
institutions are unable to get teach
ers, unable to get sufficient funds, as
the Carnegie Foundations declares
them unworthy OF support, and more
important still, they are unable to get
enough students to form classes, for
the reason that the little colleges are
rated so low in the medical world
that prospective students are unwin-
ing to enter.
The heads of some of these smaller
institutions that have been forced to
close their doors or unite with larger
institutions admit that higher stand
ards are more desirable, but they
are emphatic in declaring that in
few years there won't be any cross
roads doctors if the directors of the
Carnegie Foundation have their way.
