Senator Owens Amends His Bin.

Objections to Senator owens bill
for a-national department of health
tsenate bill No. y have come largely
from followers of various sects and
cults who feared that their business
of treating the sick might be inter-
fered with. Many of the more sin
cere opponents of this much needed
law are evidently too ignorant to un-
derstand that congress can exercise
only those powers which have been
delegated to 1t by the state, that the
regulation of the practice of medicine
stands on the same basis as the regu.
lation of other occupations and trades
which is not function Of congress,
and that any federal law attempting
TO regulate the practice Of medicine
in the states would be void. Repeats
ed explanations have been made that
congress has no authority to regulate
the practice Of medicine or any other
profession or calling In any state, and
that the object Of the Owen bill is the
prevention and not the treatment Of
disease. Apparently. thsss sspaana-
tions havs not been convincing

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
PRESIDENT TAFT WILL BE IN
THE RACE.

President Taft, With his usual de-
cisiveness, has made clear his position
in relation to having his name 90 be-
fore the national republican ConVCn-
ton at Chicago next June. The cldrl-
fcation If 1t may he called such, is
the fact that nothing except death
can keep him "out of the f'ght now.
To the great majority OF believers
in the party which elected Mr. Taft
president OF the United States, this
message will come as source =
qualification. II means that no hopes
of his admirers may be misplaced.
and It points center at which tho
misguided shafts of the democratic
party may be aimed.
BY making his position plain con-
cerning the forthcoming race for he
nomination, the president has again
demonstrated his capabilty of doing
the right thing at the right time by
giving the people of the country. and
more especially his adhcrenls, their
right to know that he may be de-
pended upon to again lead the party
Of the country to u well deserved vic
tory next fall. Mr. Tafts supporters
may now take up their work with
the assurance that il VIII not be done
n vain.
In declaring himself, the president
rightly made no attempt to force any
body else to so declare, or to force
them to keep sull He aid it as
quietly and as unostent; tiously as ne
has acted in al matters concerning
himself since his advent into he
White House. Mr. Taft has always
refrained from burning red fire" to
attract attention, but goes quietly
about his business OF giving the coun-
try one OF the best administrations
il has ever had.

tor owen last week introduced the

tor Owen last week introduced the
following amendment to his bill:
That the department of health es-
tablished by this act shall have no
power to regulate the practice OF
medicine or the practice of healing,
or to interfere with the right Of a citi-
zen to employ the practitioner of his
choice, within any state of the union,
and all appointments within the de-
partment shall be made without dis
elimination against any school Of
medicine or of healing"
The Journal Of the American Medi-
cal association says that 1t is to be
hoped that this amendment will be
retained as part of the bill, although
II is entirely unnecessary from q legal
standpoint since II declares that Il is
not the purpose Of congress to do
what IT, has no right to do. This fact
is undoubtedly recognized by Senator
Owen, 90 that the amendment must
be intended to remove any possibility
OF honest objection TO the bill. This
amendment will doubtless quiet the
fears Of honest but misguided oppon.

WHERE YOUTH SHOULD GO BUT
SLOWLY.

Young man, whenever you go up
against your old dad and think he
doesn't know anything, YOU want to
go a little bit careful and think a
whole lot He may not be quite "a
smart as you are, but he knows a
whole lot more than YOU do The
chances are that YOU can get out and
walk block or two while he is
reaching the front gate but one Of
the strong impulses of youth is TO go
fast and be reckless at the same time.
Yet go slowly.
OF course, father went TO the circus
one day last summer, and somebody
took s3.eS out OF his trousers pock-
et and he didrt know about II until
he reached home and then you
laughed at him. But II is nothing
wrong In having laugh AT fathers
expense. But that isn't all.
You thought a whole lot. You
didn't tell father so, but you thought
he was very, very ignorant. and
wasn't "on'' 10 the ways of the world.
and that you knew more in minute
than he ever did know. And yet
you went to the same circus. and you
went TO the sldeshow. and you went

FEWER M. DIS.

With the increased cost Of living il
is not surprising that the cost Of medi-
cal education should also increase, as
''The Journal of the American Medical
Association" reports it TO be doing.
This increase appears TO be partly in
the cost to the students which now
averages $125 81 apiece yearly for tut
ton, and which is causing some dimi-
mutton Of the number of students 1t
is also partly in the cost to the schools
OF. taking care Of the students, which
is now S479 apiece; so that the schools
lose from business point of view,
about $3.50 year on each student
This latter condition in turn is caus-
ing a reduction in the number of
schools Of medicine, some going out Of
existence altogether and some being
merged with others. The decrease In
students is indicated by the fact that
their number in 1900 was 2j,17l, in
1904 it was 2S,1i2 and in the present
year it is only 1912, the smallest num-
Der in twenty years. AT the same time
the number Of medical schools was 151
in 1900, 16G in 1904 and only 116 in
1912.
These tendencies are not TO be re-
garded with unmiXed regret On the
contrary, many will welcome them as
on the whole auspicious Of good to the
medical profession and To the public
which it serves. There is reason for
thinking that there have been too many
medical schools in America. Even with
the present reduced number, the lowest
in more than twenty years, this coun-
try has more than one-third Of all in
the world, its 1l6 being balanced by
only 205 In all other lands. There can
be no question that many of them have
been, and some still are, inadequately
endowed and equipped and unable TO
prepare men satisfactorily for an exact
ing. responsible and important occupa-
ton. In such cases the elimination OF
the weaklings or their combination
with others seems advantageous.
Nor is the decrease In the number OF
medical students to be regretted Ii is
due in part, as we have said, TO the in
creased yearly cost of tuition; but
probably still more to the widespread
lengthening of the required term of
study TO four years and to the ma
terial raising Of the standard of schol-
arship and preparation for admission.
The first named cause Is to be regret

THE SCANDAL.

Mayor Gaynor calls the aldermanlc
inquiry scandalous, but his own con-
duct is the only scandal in sight. In
this matter the aldermanic investi-
gators represent the public in its de-
termination TO learn the truth about
grave evil in the administration Of
the city. The public has no other
means at hand than this investigation
TO obtain all the facts about graft so
desperate that Il resorts 10 murder to
escape exposure. The Mayor is pub
lie officer, accountable TO the public.
He Is under obligations to obey the
law which gives the Board Of Alder
men authority to seek the facts in
such an exigency as this. 1t is his
duty freely TO lay before the investi-
gators all the information he has
which they desire. II they abuse
their trust as inquisltors for the pub
lie, public opinion will take care Of
them. That Is not the Mayors affair.
If he will not cooperate with others
who are striking at the vicious alliance
between the police and criminals when
it has insolently raised its head so
high as 10 afford an excellent mark
for deadly blows, at least the Mayor
is under obligations TO furnish ali the
information at his C"nmand. His hos
tility to the inquiry Is a scandal. His
lack Of sympathy with the public de-
termination TO expose corruption in
order to cure ii Is scandal. He de-
clares the investigation to be aimed
at himself, but IN reason he can DO
so only by identifying his administra-
ton with the graft at which the city
IS striking, for the Investigation IS
aimed solely at that. Public opinion
is sufficient to prevent it from becom-
ing personal or partisan and to keep
IT steadily directed at the graft which
has become so bold as to traffic in
murder, and which must be struck
down if it is not itself in the end 10
strike down law and order in this
community.

EXPLANATION NEEDED.

1t is the policy Of this state to keep
all the forest land It has and get more
whenever possible. Therefore the ac-
ton taken through the Attorney Cen
erals office by which the state is trying
to clear the title 10 tract OF 10000
acres OF forest land in Herkimer COun-
~ which Mr.. Carmody denies the state
owns seems TO demand some explana-
ton. Especially is this true in view Of
the fact that the only witness called by
the state was the counsel for the sup
posed former owner and the further
fact that no member of the Forest Pur-
chasing Board Of 1909, which thought
It had acquired this land for the state,
testified about that transaction.
This tract and an adjoining tract of
some 10000 acres were supposed TO
have been taken by the state because
the Forest Purchasing Board learned
that business projects were contem-
plated which would result in practical
ly denuding the land Of trees. The law
under which these tracts were supposed
to have been condemned required that
the land adjOin land already owned by
the state. These tracts, adjoining, Dor
dered on a third tract which had been
marked on the maps for year as state
land The complaint made by the At
torney General i'm this case affirms that
this third tract was not then owned by
the state and that the two tracts title
10 which is involved In this action
never were assessed TO the state. The
Attorney General contends that the con
demnation proceedings begun by the
Forest Purchasing Board We're never
completed, and that no payment was
ever made by the state for the land.
The tract in question has appeared on
maps as state land.
IL seems that the state, now relin-
gushing the larger tract I'm an action
which also would inyalidate its title
10 the smaller tract, really wants both,
and would again try 10 buy them in.
They are much more valuable now
than they were In 1909, owing to in
creases in the prices Of hardwOOds.
Apparently either this present action
is against the states interests or the
action Of the Forest Purchasing Board
in 1909 was illegal or incomplete. If
that body acted against the law, OF
course the state should not profit by it.
But It should be proved that il did so,
and the members be required to eX-
plain why they did so, before the state
loses all claim to this valuable property.

THE CHAMBER OF HORRORS

Governor Wilson spoke on Monday at
a political museum in this city which
its promoters facetiously call q Tariff
Chamber Of Horrors" If a deadly par
allel were to be framed Of his speech
there and Of his acceptance speech and
his speeches in Buffalo and at the York
vile Lyceum in this city it would prove
an interesting addition to the horrors
collected In that fearsome hall
In congenial surroundings Governor
Wilson apparently forgot himself and
blurted out his real attitude toward the
protective system. He is at heart free
trader and could not be anything else
If he were honest with himself. He
told the frequenters Of the Chamber Of
Horrors that protection was not only an
injury TO the country as a whole, but
an injury to the protected industry and
to the protected workman. Naturally
q man who holds such Ideas could have
nothing but aversion for all protective
duties and would feel a grim satisfac
tion in sweeping away the last vestige
Of protection If the opportunity to do
so ever came TO him. If he did not he
would be a timid cOmpromiser with adj
mitted evil.

over, mo change Of territorial SOW
"erelgnty or Of the international rela-
"tions Of the country or countries trav-
"ersed by the canal" Is to affect the
obligations Of the treaty.
The essential and practical points
are these: First. that under the Hay
PaunCefote treaty the United States Is
to have and enjoy the exclusive
right" Of providing for the regulation
and maintenance OF the canal; and,
second, that "the United States
adopts the rules for the neutraliza-
ton of the canal. The treaty is made
by the two powers, but 1t explicitly rec
ognizes the sole and exclusive rights
and powers Of one Of them, and it in
vests that one with the authority and
responsibility Of enforcing rules Of its
own adoption. 1t is not that the two
signatory powers adopt the Suez rules,
but that the United States adopts
them.
From the purely academic point or
view Mr.. VOLTS consideration Of the
case is interesting. From the practical
point Of view the canal must be re-
garded as an American canal under
American control. 1t has been built
by American enterprise, with Amer
lean money, in what is for all practical
purposes American territory, under
American law, and 1t is as absolutely
under American control as is, let us
say, the Harlem River Ship Canal. e1-
cepting to such extent as we may have
renowned, compromised or qualified
our authority by the covenants of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty. So far rs we
have thus qualified our sovereignty, we
must fulfil our covenant in good faith;
Just as certainly az we must maintain
our full rights and privileges outside
Of those limits.
