Lacking in Magnetism.
One of the inexplicable things in con-
nection with DR.. Cooks success in re-
establishing himself in public esteem is
that the man seems totally lacking in
personal magnetism and sympathetic re-
sponsiveness. He is as cold as the ice
fields that he did or didn't cross in the
arctic His smile is vacant and mechan-
ical. 1t Is true that he welcomes the
adulation OF the admirers who crowd
about him, but with no apparent graft
tude for their sympathy and good wishes.
Instead, he clutches with feverish eager
hess and with both hands the palms ex-
tended to him, seemingly in selfish haste
to draw to him the support and aid OF re-
endorsements that will make more for
midable his fight for gain and credit.

No Lasting Effect.
Mr.. Wilson was asked if he did not
think the case, provide Judge De CRAFTS
decision is upheld by the higher courts,
offers an effective bar to future strikes
and scenes OF violence. Mr.. Wilson said
he cid not think it would have a lasting
or general effect.
IF it is a case OF preventing violence,
alone" he says. ''it does not belong in a.
court of equity: it belongs in q court Of
law. If the contract in question was be-
tween two corporations and involved onlyi
question Of property, 1t would be fori
a court of equity to pass upon. But wheni
it involves personal labor, as IN this case.
no court has the right under the Consti-.

Driven to Other Fields.
This simply means that 4 large num-
Der OF young men trained for medicine
have given up the hope OF establishing
themselves In practice. and. while main
tanning residence in Washington. have
adopted some other means of livelihood.
The truth Of this statement can be veri-
fed any day, especially in the govern
ment departments. There are lawyers.
doctors, and other professional men there
galore, some in small capacities. all Of
whom have failed in the first struggle
with the world.
The number of lawyers that Washing
ton turns out is a matter of common
knowledge. But in justice to these law
yers, most of whom are employed as
clerks or secretaries by the government,
it should be said that comparatively few
of them have the intention TO practice

Even overcrowded New York. with all
its undigested influx of men fresh from
the universities with professional train
ing maintains no such high ratio of ply
sicians to population as Washington.
But maintain" is not the right word to
use In this connection. Washington may
have 1.23l doctors within her boundaries,
but she does not "maintain" or support
them. That is a fallacy.
AS a matter of fact the actual number
of practicipg physicians here falls far be-
low the number of registered physicians;
probably the ratio IS about one to every
400 of population. But even this ratio is
high enough. II is impossible to conceive

which will aid them in their depart
mental or secretarial work. But with
physicians the case is different. The man
who spends four or six years in the study
Of medicine without the ultimate aim OF
making a living by his knowledge Is rare.
The surplus Of medicos in our midst Is
not q matter which can be laid at the
door Of our medical schools-Georgetown,
George Washington, and Howard, and
some smaller dental and veterinary IN
stitutions. The bulk Of young physicians
come to Washington from the outside;
they are not trained here.
Medical Schools Busy.
For the pas. three years the number Of
physicians graduated from these three
schools has averaged seventy per annum.
George Washington granted sheepskins to
thirty Of these, Georgetown to fifteen,
and Howard to thirty-five. Howard IS
now regarded as having the best negro
medical school in the United States.
OF these graduate physicians not more
than 80 per cent settle in Washington
from year to year. Most of them are
sufficiently sophisticated to know the
magnitude of the task which confronts
them here That Is one reason why they
seek pastures new.
But the highly trained graduate OF Har-
ward, Johns Hopkins, Pennsylvania, or
other great medical schools come here
with the ambition to conquer the Capital
and make a name for themselves. A few
attain. their ambition. The great ma
jority pull up stakes after a year OF two.
the shadow of failure and disappointment
over them.
"COIlections" Often Slow.
II is pointed out that a young ply
sician of promise who has social entree
and a wide circle of influential friends
here has an excellent opportunity to win
out But these men are rare. Nearly all
persons Of wealth or influence are the
clientele of established specialists, who
die all too slowly. and In most cases leave
successors who come into their practice.
Another grave difficulty confronts the
young doctor fighting his way in here
without being buttressed by reputation
or Influence. The percentage OF "collec-
tIons' is extremely small in Washington.
In most cities the physician can collect
about 70 per cent of the money due him;
IN Washington the average. 1t is said, Is
considerably lower. although no official
figures are obtainable on this point.
Washington is. in sooth. a city OF
dreadful debt" like New York. and to
cheat a physician out OF his fees or to
postpone payment from month to month
is falling regarded all too lightly. The
