not Tapping, not a shadow. So he
took heart and also took counsel. This
time, however, he did not return to his
first physician. Neither did he place his
case in the hands of other local doc
tors. He Journeyed to New York and
there gave himself over to the skilled
examination of the most eminent spe-
cialists he could find One and all told
him he was perfectly well.
So he went back to Spokane and as
his business was gone and he had lost
$4,000 by the wrong diagnosis of his
doctor, he thought it was up to the
erring medico to settle. The doctor
didn't see it in the same light and so
the law is called in to determine the
justice of Goldblatt's claim.
It's a nice point to decide. An i'm
portant one, too, for every day men and
women are acting upon the advice of
their physicians in temporal matters,
giving up their labors, changing to new
lands, abandoning home and friends.
The doctors might be right; they may
be wrong. In either case they get their
payment. This case will determine their
responsibility when they make mis-
takes.

that death was merely matter of time,

He was a ieweler with a good husi-

FROM OTHER PENS
COLLEGE FRATERNITIEs.

GOLLECE F'hAIERNlIIES.
Are fraternities desirable adjuncts to
This question was answered in the at
firmattve a few days ago at the session OF
the National Association of State Uni
VersltleS, by the acting president of
Miami university. He declared that the
fraternfties have right to exist in the
state universities because they are natural
social organizations, and have not been
fostered by any external force. While this
view is held by many men in the college
oppose fraternities and societies as they
exist today in our American colleges and
universities. 1t Is asserted by them that,
with the coming of these fraternitfes
which are secret in life and aristocratic in
lorfn: and based more or less on caste dis
tlnctlons the love of the American col
Iege and university life, intellectually con-
Sldered, has shown decline. It was
against this deterioration that woodrow
wilson arrayed himself when president OF

been seriously considering the problems
involved in our American college life that
there are influences at work which de.
stroy or nullify the spirit of democracy

of our country. Such a spirit they de.

EVENING CHlT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

A friend of mine had been trying to
| make up her mind to pursue a certain
course of action which she felt was her
duty but which was very unpleasant to
her. From day to day she had put Off
any action in the hope that something
would happen to render it unnecessary
for her to make the sacrifice involved.
And she was very unhappy.
The other day I met her and was
surprised to be greeted in T. thoroughly
cheerful voice and to look into a serene
and happy face.
oh" I said, 81 know things have
come out all right for you. Tell me
what has happened"
Yes she said, things have come
out all right, but nothing has happened.
It's simply that I've made up my mind
to give up struggling and lighting and
just do what I ought to do. I decided
that way before I went to sleep that
night 1 was talking to you, and I've
felt happier since then than I have for
weeks. And do you know, don't think

TURKS LEAVE NO MONUMENTS.

AS the Turks are driven back to-
ward Asia and the region in south
eastern Europe which they have ruled
for nearly five centuries is being
wrenched from their grasp, the low
order of intelligence and creative
power which characterizes the Turk
ish race is revealed in the absence of
any great monuments erected during
the Turkish occupancy of the Balkan
peninsula.
The only roads worthy of mention
in Turkish territory are the roads they
found when they entered Europe as
conquering invaders. The only notable
bridges were built by other nationa1i-
ties and the railroads represent the
capital and engineering skill of for
eign countries.
Even the far-famed mosques of
Turkish cities are largely remodeled
Christian churches seized when the
Moslems captured the towns in which
they stand. st. Sophia, in Constan-
tinople, the most famous of them all,
was a Greek cathedral before it be-
came a Turkish mosque.
The Turks have created no harbors.
They have established no important
industries which would otherwise have
been neglected by the inhabitants of
the regions they have misgoverned. In
short, the Turks have left no great
memorials behind them in the ter
ritory from which they are being driv-
en-. The lands which they have held
owe them nothing but hatred and
contempt. Their passing will be re-
GREETED by none of their former sub
jects, and it will be hailed as
blessing to a naturally rich and beau
tiful part of the world.
