FROM OTHER PENS

| DELIBERATIVE AND LEGISLATIVE
1t is said that Aristotle was the first
| to distinctly define the three appro-
pirate departments of republic. He
called them deliberative, executive and
| judicial; the term legislative not APP
pearing for long time afterward. The
word deliberative was applied to the
| situation existing at first, When the
people in a collective capacity made
the laws.
They were assembled to deliberate
and advise the chief ruler what to do.
In course of time that chief ruler, what
| ever name he might have gone by, aD-
sorbed what power the assemblage of
| the people had been using, and con-
verted it to his own use, thus dispensing
| with the people altogether. Next, after
| long years, the representative form
came to succeed the collective, and
thus, instead of the deiberative, this
branch of the government was called
| the legislative.
| 1t might be a question whether or not
| it was anything more or less than
verbal change, since the legislative may
not be regarded as wholly deliberative.
| It often seems to merge into a frenzy
| or a state of mind in which the judg-
! ment is quite ignored or the decision Is
already framed by a party prediction.
Now we are arriving at another differ
entiation known as the initiative and
referendum, but whether that will re-
store the elaboration and cool juds-
ment is a matter that still fingers in
controversy.-Ohio State Journal.
| SAVING THE HUMAN HEART
Progressive Medicine has compiled
figures that show that Of 143 cases of
heart wounds treated there We're as
many as 81 recoveries. 1t is the hope
of surgeons that with added experience
! in this class of operations the percent
age of recoveries will be increased.
A number of successful operations
on the heart have been performed in
America, but most of the reports come
from Europe A report from Germany
tells of a case in which the patient had
a wound one and three-fourths inches
| long in his left ventricle. The wound
was closed with stitches and the pa
tient recovered. In California case
| in which bullet had penetrated the
pericardial sac was treated by pro-
! cess of draining. In a week the pa
tient had recovered.
Progressive Medicine, in comment
| ing on the figures goes so far as to
say that the heart is extremely toler-
ant of injuries, and even of the pres
fence of foreign bodies" 1t cites as an
example of this a case in which bullet
lodged against the pulmonary artery,
then penetrated It, and finally entered
the right ventricle. There the bullet
remained, without causing any appar-
ent difficulty, until it was discovered
at the autopsy performed when the
wounded man died long afterward of
another injury. - Cleveland Plain
