ROMANCE IN A BOOK SHOP

One doesn't expect to find much romance
around a second hand book store except
the romantic adventures of bibiomaniacs

TAKES UP NATIONAL HEALTH
DR.. Ewing Urges Immedite Es-
tablishment of Bureau.

In the annual address OF the anniversary
meeting OF the New York Academy o'
Medicine last night Dr. James Ewing. pro-
fessor OF pathology and research at Cor
nell Medical College, took occasion to criti-
else President Taft because he held pub
lie hearing on the bill 10 establish a ma
,ional department OF health
DR.. Ewing complained bitterly through
out his address that the American public
generally was out Of sympathy with the
medical profession. OF that attitude he
thought the most conspicuous indication
was In connection with the recently pro-
posed bill to establish a national depart
ment OF health.
THE national government" said he. has
at last awakened TO the necessity OF a ma
tional bureau of health, such as has long
existed in other civilized countries. Yet
instead of going ahead with 1t, We have
the astonishing spectacle OF the President
of the United States holding public hear
ing 10 debate the question"

fession, said DR.. Ewing. showed plainly

cal cults. 1T shows too" he continued.
lin the wide extension Of the Christian
Science movement, and in the waverng
front of legislatures, which no longer stand
as a firm defence of the public health
against the irregular and incompetent prac-
titioners of medicine.
Finally. public sentiment still permits
the Health Commissioner Of the State Of
New York to be replaced every few years,
according to the rules Of political patron
age. and with Asiatic cholera at our doors
we have just witnessed the distinguished
health officer Of the Port Of New York
subjected to a mock investigation by a
legal adventurer and a medically unin-
formed jurist."

that the Congress of the United

Democrats seem to feel shy because Of
certain political influences centering

because the present Democratic delega-

President Taft is sailing in
troubled waters. To square him
self with his party he must stand
to the theory of protection. But
to maintain the confidence of the
people he must 60 in for tariff re-
form. He declared at Winona
last summer that the Payne
Aldrich bill was the best tariff
measure ever enacted by the Re-
publican party. With the object
lesson of popular disapproval at
the November elections he strives
to save himself for denomination
by an admission of the protective
fallacy with his Canadian reci-
procity treaty. For this the inter-
ests damn him and the progress
sives and insurgents praise him.
Meanwhile the tariff commits
sion idea is evolved by him as a
measure to allay the popular dis
trust and to secure the return of
the Republicans to power on the
ground that it is the best me-
dunn for dealing with the affairs
of the nation.
The president will have a hard
time to free himself from his diff
ficulties. He cannot successfully
carry water on both shoulders.
He will nave to definitely align
himself with the insurgents or the
old guard. The latter are DOOM
ed to defeat. They have already
been defeated. The former can
only succeed with the help of the
Democrats and to have that
they must persist in their adher-
ence to Democratic principles,
which takes them out of the
ranks of the regulars in their
party aud makes them practical
ly Democrats. Whichever horn
of the dilemma the president
chooses to seize will be found un-
comfortable.
