MEDICAL MARTYR.

In times OF war we discuss the
deeds OF valor of the soldiers who
face the fire. In times of peace We
look around for heroes and award a
Carnegie medal to the girl who saves
a life, or the boy who prevents n
panic. We are n nation of hero wor-
shippers. We are looking for man or
woman whose deeds of bravery can
furnish topic for eulogies and
praise poems. We seem blind to the
greater heroes, who, for the most part
90 unhonored. The medical martyrs
go on unpraised to their final rest
laying down their lives for the great
common cause OF mankind. These
medical martyrs are to be found In
every cline and country. Without
ostentation they enter the very jaws
OF death and too frequently give up
their lives, for the great cause of
science, without murmer.
This is the stun that heroes are
made from. In the excitement of bat
tie men of arms forget danger. The
lust of blood inflames them. 1t re-
wives the barbarous instinct of our
forefathers of the stone age. The an,
imal in our nature is aroused and We
plunge into the thick of the battle re-
gardless OF danger.
These medical heroes have no such
stimulating excitement to make the
end easier. They enter the presence
OF death calmly, with full conscious
ness that they may not escape alive.
They never finch. They are cool,
collected, conservative.
Two young physicians in New York
last week yielded up their lives test
ing the value OF meningitis serums.
Their death was in line with duty.
Others working to discover the event
ual cure had perished before them.

whom there is no guile; whose ad-
ministration will be clear one as Is
his character-reputation His election
was the dawn Of pure state and execu-
tive affairs; his Inauguration was the
beginning of a return to real democra-
cy, and his executive life thus far
is that of personal honesty, fortitude,
courage and intellectual capabilities.
A great, good mana good, great
man-one great enough in mind pow
er and good enough in heart impulses
to guide the affairs of state or ma
ton, is a present-day demand. and
Governor Cruce embodies these es-
sentials. MAY his shadow never
grow less" Most respectfully,
