Hark, the herald angels sing:
"Screacham's pills are just the thing;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
Two for man and one for a child.
The Yeomen of the Guard, commonly
known as the "Beef-eaters," as the
festivities become free and easy, will
probably improvise for themselves
something like that call for "roast beef
in store" though they have never been
known to tumble for the cellar keys
so long as they could kick in the door.
They might take kindly to the Hano-
verian amendment, but to think of the
SNUG aristocracy shouting such an
anti-climax at their newly anointed
sovereign would bring tears to Tory
eyes and heap ridicule upon the Sacred
Institution, 1t would be better, far
better, to adopt what the Filipinos so
long regarded as our own national an

THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
NEEDS 81, 900 MORE.

Now, don't get peevish over the
heading of this editorial. Yes, it's
true you've been reading in all the
newspapers for the past six weeks that
the Associated Charities wants money.
It's also true that some organization OF
Washington always wants money.
Scarcely a week slips by when you are
not importuned to contribute to some
worthy cause. You occasionally feel
as if you're going to quit-not going
to give another cent-don't you!
. But you can't quit. The Associated
Charities. and the other worthy socie-
ties that ask for money to keep up
their work. must be maintained. The
problems with which they deal must
be met and solved. The relief which
thew extend to those who need relief
must be extended-and the community
must provide the necessary funds. As
long as society is constituted as it is,
it cannot escape this responsibility.
Now. as to the Associated Charities:
As a matter of fact, the demand upon
the Washington public for the support
of this institution is light. In most
other cities the size of Washington it
is heavy. We have none of the great
industrial interests which, while they
produce wealth, also create a rela,
lively large class of dependents who
must be protected by the general pub
he. Instead of complaining when called
upon to support such an organization
as the Associated Charities, We should
congratulate ourselves that its de,
mands are not greater.
Let us make up that $1,000 at once
That's the quickest method by which
to stop solicitation. ...-

diphtheria and fails to administer anti
toxin he is criminally negligent.
Again l would call attention TO the
fact that the, Rockefeller Institute mas
announced the efficacy of a serum which
is now being successfully used to con-
troll that much dreaded disease cpl
demic, cerebro spinal meningitis. Inc
early use of this serum has been Iound
to reduce the mortality from something
like so to Is per cent and there Is every
reason to believe even more satisfac-
tory results will be attained as It's ap-
plication becomes better understood.
Here is another triumph for. animal ex-
perimentation against which a number
of misguided and good people persist
emily protest. Today there are many
diseases, heretofore fatal, cured by these
their lives and fortunes to study and re-
search never could have accomplished
what they have and battled so trium-
phantly against disease without these
humane person is unalterably opposed
to causing needless suffering In the
lower animal. and for this reason the
experiments are conducted on humane
thinking man will contend that the ami
mails should be- spared and humanity
sacrificed to the ravishes Of disease.
AS to the learned Doctors statement
that there are numerous cases where
eminent physicians have innoculated
people with the most revolving diseases,
this is without support and untenable.
1t is quite fair to presume that II his
information in this instance Is not
better founded that his statement in re-
gard to the mortality in diphtheria 1t
scarcely deserves notice: Furthermore.
since he has claimed that vivisection
depraves those who practice 1t, l would
be grateful If he would point out the
depravity existing in such men as PAS
teur, Koch, or Flexner.
Finally, DR.. Snow is quoted as say
ing that the anatomy of the lower ami
mails is so absolutely dffferen from ours
that the knowledge gained is not ,ap-.
phcabfe to man.. Evidently. when the
doctor studied medicine biology, which
Includes comparative anatomy or the
anatomy of the lower animals, was not.

CAR SEAT PROBE NOW A
CLOSED INCIDENT.

As our friends of the Diplomatic
Corps would say, the great street car
seat investigation is now a;"closed in
cident." The report of the ttansporta-
tion committee of the Board of Trade
has been adopted by the Board at a
meeting attended by upwards of 200
members. This was not accomplished
without some minor dissension, but it
was accomplished.
As president of the Board of Trade,
Gen. George H. Harries may now
transmit the report to Gen. George H.
Harries, vice president of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company.
There will be no occasion for him to
transmit it to the Capital Traction
COMPANY, because tha; concern long
ago adopted the policies since recon-
mended by the committee. One might
think the incident were not closed, as
long as one street railway company is
using type of car to which there is
much objection on the part of the pub
liza type of car which the Board of
Trade transportation committee also,
by a circuitous route, finds undesir
able. This, however, is easily ex-
planned.
General Harries, on two occasions,
has stated before the Board of Trade
that it was immaterial whether the
committees report be adopted, for the
reason that the policy of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company as
to cars had been determined by the
company and would not be affected by
the committees or the Boards action.
If this be true, it is not difficult to
anticipate what will happen when Gen.
George H. Harries, president of the
Board of Trade, presents the commit
tees report to Gen. George H. Harries,
vice president of the street railway
company. =

ANTI-VIVISECTIONlST
WAS ILL-INFORMED

To the Editor of THE TINES:
AS member of the medical profes-
sion and practicing physician / deem IT
a gross injustice to both the pro1essioi,
and laity, to permit the. statements OF
DIR. Herbert Snow, in. his recent lecture
AGAINST vivisection in this city, to go
unchallenged. J.
II DIR. Snow asserts that antitoxin has
nroved unsuccessful in diphtheria ana
that the death rate from this disease
Is considerably higher both in the
TTnited States and in Europe, he Is
either ridiculously ignorant concerning
the results that are being daily obtained
from this wonderful serum or he is pur-
nosely misstating fact that every per-
son of average intelligence knows to
he otherwise. Had he taken few mo-
ments and consulted the figures at the
Bureau of Vital Statistics he would
have learned, much to his surprise and
probable chagrin, that instead Of the
mortality of the disease being in
creased, II has been reduced from 81
per cent in 1890 Cthis being before the
use of antitoxin) to less than % per
per cent in 1908 The present mortality
is even lower. All of us are familiar
with the recent epidemic at the Johns
Hopkins; Hospital, and, so far as I
have learned. there has not been a sin
gle death, But what would have been
the terrible result If antitoxin had not
been -used?z A well=known- -jurtst has

INCORPORATION OF CHAM
'> BER OF COMMERCE.

Many advantages would accrue to
the Chamber of Commerce if that live
organization were made more live by
conversion into a corporation. AT
present the Chamber of Commerce is
practically a partnership association,
lacking the ruifed strength and pres
tige it would E<-s if it were incor-
porated. AS its ~Seivities become
broader and as its we, a increases, it
is essential that its form - changed.
The principal reason the Chamber
should be incorporated is that it will
soon erect a building for its own use.
To do this it must acquire and hold
real estate and make and execute con-
tracts. Unless it were a. corporation
it would have to operate through trus-
tees, which would be an unbusiness-
like and unsatisfactory method of pro-
cedure. Furthermore, it might con-
tract unjust obligation through error,
in which event the individual members
might be held liable. If it were a cor
:poration, its members, who would be its
stockholders, could be relieved OF
liability.
It is probable the Incorporation of
the Chamber would also result in an
immediate increase in membership. A
certificate of stock in the Chamber
would be an asset to any Washing
tonian and would be, something of
which he would be proud. Another ad-
vantage would be the simplicity with
which public spirited citizens of means
could aid in the construction of the
proposed building. Each member
would be required to hold at least one
share of stock-whose face value would
be small-but members who so desired
could purchase additional stock, for
the purpose of contributing to the
Chambers capital.
One important precaution should be
observed by those who are working
out the plan of incorporation.
The rules for voting stock should be
such that it would never be possible
for any one clique, interest, or group
of interests, to control elections. If
the Chamber of Commerce is to con-
tinue to be the forceful, progressive
organization it is today, control OF its
policies and affairs must me retained by
the rank and file of it's membership.

FURBISHING UP BRITAIN'S Ma
TIONAL ANTHEM.

If certain proposed amendments to
Great Britain's national anthem are
adopted, King George will wonder
whether he is attending a coronation
or a Seeley dinner. The stately old
invocation will sound like German
drinking song set to the tune of ''Old
Hundred" Now that jewelers. and up
holsterers are furnishing up the crown
Jewels and putting fresh velvet on the
throne, and the Mother Country, in a
hundred different ways, is preparing to
put the big pot in the little one, it was
inevitable, perhaps, that a meddlesome
generation should wish to "do some
thing" to the anthem. Perhaps it
might have been improved by pruning
away a few frivolous lines like "con-
found their. knavish tricks" which
Liberals and Conservatives usually in
tone with a note of personal rancor, but
surely the general tenor of it has not
been improved by the addition of such
stanza as:
God save great George, our King;
Long live our noble King;
God save the King.
Send US roast beef in store;
If it's gone send US some more,
And the key to the cellar door,
That we may drink. '-..-

FORCE OF PUBLIC OPINION
=. ~. IN THE LORIMER CASE
TO the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Will you permit an observation on
your editorial, Senator Lorimer's Debt
to the Lame Ducks?" On the first
reading I set out on the road with you,
but soon found that you had left the
right road, and had taken the wrong
fork. You call attention to the fact that
class of Senators had been set free
from the pressure Of public opinion;
were therefore in a position, untram-
meled, to do justice. Then you question
the honesty of their decision, because
they are no longer under the dominance
of others.
Does not that argument cast an asper-
sion on Senators who took the other
side? Is 1t true that those Senators
who hope for reelection were Influenced
In their decision against Lorimer be-
cause 1t would make them popular at
home? 'F-.
Again, should the questions involved
have been determined on the strength
of public sentinient-in States remote
from g Illinois? Suppose sentiment in
Illinois were one way-in Maine, Louisi-
ana, and Oregon another2 Besides,
how. are Senator'S, as,sjudges, of fact
and law, TO measure public opinion?

Family and Police Convinced
He Will Not Be Found
Alive.
NUMEROUS CLUES -.
RUN DOWN IN VAIN
Known to Have Gone to Tenley-
town, But Is Reported Seen
., In City Later.

Convinced that Dr. William A. Gray,
who has been strangely missing for
more than a week. will never be found
alive, and working on the theory that
the aged man wandered off while in a
daZed condition, the police of the
Seventh and Tenleytown stations are
searching the woods in the vicinity of
Friendship Heights today.
Numerous other clues having been run
down without success, the police say
II is possible the missing man may have
got lost in the dense woods on the out
skirts of the northwest section of the
District and died of exposure and star
walton.
Went to Tenleytown.
Dr. Gray is known to have gone to
ITenleytown on the afternoon he disap-
peared from the waiting room at the
Georgetown University Hospital, but
several persons have told the police
they saw him in the city that night.
1t is possible, however. they say, that
he returned to that section Of the Dis
trict later in the evening.
George B. Chew. Of 1906 Thirteenth
street northwest, a brother-in-law Of
the missing man. said this morning that
ne shares the opinion of the police that
Dr. Gray may have gotten lost in the
woods.
In response to a telephone message
that a man answering DR.. Gray's de-
scription had been seen in Prince
George county, Nd, Wednesday after
noon, Mr. Chew went to Branchville
yesterday and questioned the persons
who saw the man.
Il am convinced that he was not DR..
Gray" said Mr.. Chew this morning.
Il do not expect We shall find him
alive"
Substantiating the theory that DR..
Gray became lost near Friendship
Heights is an anonymous letter received
by Mr.. Chew in which the writer states
some small boys had seen an aged man
wandering in the neighborhood the early
part OF the week
Rock Creek Dragged.
One theory to which relatives OF the
aged man were inclined for a few days
was that he had fallen into Rock Creek
and been drowned. Information was OBJ
tained by the police that a man who
locked like DR.. Gray had been seen
along the banks of the creek.
The creek, however, mas Deen dragged
with graphing irons from Dumbartun
avenue to the point where IT empties
into the river.
The police regard the case as one of
the most unusual that has been called
to their attention in years. Seventy
five years old, feeble, and with a flow
| ing white beard and gray hair, DIR.
Gray, they say. is a man who. in view
Of the publicity given the case, could
| hardly pass unnouced on the street.
He has been a lifelong resident of the
| District, is known personally to hum
dreds of persons, and a reward of 800
| for informatio as to his whereabouts
has put many more on the lookout for
him. IL he is still alive. and in the
District of Columbia. the police assert,
he would surely have been found.
