FROM OTHER PENS
CANAL ZONE SANITATION.


Not less remarkable than the stupen-
dous and successful work on the Pan
anna canal is the wonderful record of
the sanitary department of the canal
zone Indeed, the great work of sani-
tation on the isthmus, as a demonstra
ton of what can be accomplished by
scientific system and methods, should
be more far-reaching in it's influence
| in promoting human welfare than the
commercial benefits to be derived from
the canal. The report of the depart
ment Of sanitation Of the canal COM
mission for March. 1912, shows that
out of 13,108 white employees of the
commission, and of the Panama rail-
road only three died in March from
disease, and two from violence, making
a death rate from disease, of only 2.75
per thousand per year and a total
death rate, including accidents, of only
4 81 per thousand. Including the 81 1881
colored employees, of whom 25 died OF
disease and from violence, there was
a total of only SO deaths from disease
and violence out of a total of 81 ,095
employees. The total death rate in
the entire canal zone, with its 1854
inhabitants, was only 1407 per thou
sand per year. When 1t is remembered
that this canal zone is in a tropical
region, which before its occupation by
the United States was one of the most
notorious hotbeds of disease, the
achievements of medical science on the
isthmus must be considered as epochal
in the history Of sanitation, and plainly
indicates what might be accomplished
in the far more favorable population
centers- of America If the authorities
would encourage and sustain the health
boards in their efforts to secure thor
oughly systematized and well-enforced
methods of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dem

MENACE OF MILDNESS AT SEA.
Mr.. Lightoller, second officer of
the Titanic. testifying before the
British commission that is investigat-
ing the causes of the disaster, said
that the failure of the lookouts to
sight the iceberg was due to the OK
traordinary circumstance that there
was not the slightest swell on the
surface of the sea-" That is to say,
the ice was invisible because 1t was
absolutely motionless. OF course, II
the Titanic had used a searchlight, II
the lookouts had been properly pro-
vided with binoculars or If the ship
had not been racing at top speed, the
iceberg would probably have been seen
and avoided, in spite of the fact that
the surface of the sea was like a mill
pond. Nevertheless, the suggestion
that the very tranquility of the wa
ter carried a peculiar menace of its
own should help to enforce the les
son that the sea can not be con-
quered even in its mildest moods by
cowardice or mere COM
mercial cunning.-Los Angeles Exc

my patient of the night before was the burglar who had been shot I felt sure l could locate the house. The householder recovered quickly.
 "The question stared at me: Did the ethics of the medical profession allow me to go to the police and tell them what l knew, or did my promise bind me to secrecy? I thought 1t over all day and finally decided that I had no ter. l made three more trips in the same manner and finally decided that the man would get along without any more calls. All this time I watched the papers, but no trace was found of the burglars. When I made my last visit I told the man who had first called on me that my fee would be $25. He took from a large roll two $100 bills and handed them to me without word. He drove me home and that was the last I ever saw of either of them.
 That was good many years ago, but I've often wondered whether I did right in not violating that mans con- fidence."
 T don't think you did" said a mem- Der of the group. The medical pro- fession has no right to shield a crimi- nal. Women and children should be given the greatest protection We can give them-the same as on vessel at sea-but no word given a criminal Is binding"
 "But suppose it had turned out that the man was not the burglar in ques- tion. I believe he was, but it might have been otherwise-?"
 That's true," said a third. Tt was all right to keep your promise so long as you had no actual knowledge that the man was a criminal. Where you made your mistake was in making such ridiculous agreement in the first place"
 And let a man, dangerously in- jured, suffer-" asked the first speaker. Remember, when I first agreed to secrecy the case had no particularly suspicious appearance. I could cite a dozen different circumstances under which a serious accident might happen and which the persons connected with would, with perfect right, go to great lengths to keep secret. So could either of you"
 Which of the three was right?

the Western Campaign among Republicans for Wilson.
 The canvass recently made through correspondence shows" said Senator Blaine today, that my prediction made a month ago that Wilson would receive fifty thousand Republican votes in Wisconsin was a mistake. The canvass completed shows that he will receive at least seventy>five thousand votes in that state, of those who have always support ed the Republican ticket. Out of 800 replies received only ten said they would vote for Roose. welt, and a like number declared for Taft, and one said he was a Socialist. The indications are that Roosevelt will stand fourth in the race. 1 think the canvass made by the Chicago Record, Herald, the results of which were published last Sunday, is substantially correct and that Wilson will carry Wisconsin by at least one hundred thousand plurality over President Taft My canvass shows that Governor McGovern' declaration in favor of Roosevelt has not added any strength to the Third Party s movement in Wisconsin.

Strange Case
 of Dr. X

This Is a story told by a physician living in a large western city of a problem that suddenly confronted him and of how he interpreted the ethics of his profession and acted on it.
 T was reused one night" he said, 'by a telephone call. An unfamiliar voice asked me if could attend a man who had been injured. I an- swered that could if the case was urgent, but before I could ask who was calling, the speaker answered.: All right, doctor. I'll call at your house in ten minutes with carriage
 Almost before I had time to dress, the doorbell rang. I unlocked the door, and a man, wearing a long ul- ster, dark hat and pair of colored glasses, entered.
 "'Doctor,' ne said, before We start I want to make request. This case, as I told you, Is urgent. But before We start, must have your assurance that you will treat this visit as a con- fidential mission. l cant say any more, except to add that you're run ming no risk of any kind in helping me. And you can name your own fee.'
 "There was nothing about the mans appearance that appeared suspicious. He was quiet and self-possessed- there wasn't trace of nervousness about him, and he was well dressed. The request was somewhat unusual, but. after all, nearly everything that We learn professionally is held in the strictest confidence without any dei- nite understandings to that effect so I thought there was no reason for re- fusing to make the agreement.
 q took my hat and we started. The carriage, noticed, was a closed one. We got in, the man turned on small electric light and then drew the blinds over the windows.
 "'Doctor,' he said, I'm going to ask where you're going I'll assure you it's all right. I want you to blindfold yourself before we leave the carriage, until we get inside the house.
 Well, didn't like the looks of this, but was in and 1 didn't like to back out. Of course I wasn't at all afraid for my own safety. By the time the carriage stopped didn't have the least idea what part of town we were in we had made so many turns. l put on the blindfold. as my visitor requested, and we went up some steps and into house.
 Upstairs, found my patient. He had been shot twice. Revolver bullets. they were. The wounds weren't dan- gerous, but they were painful because they had hot been treated earlier.
 T dressed them, told the woman who was there what sort of care the patient ought to have, and then told them that I'd have to see the man at least two or three times more before could answer for his safe recovery.
 "The man with the dark glasses quietly assented to this, but insisted that he should bring me at night, as he had that time. 1 agreed.
 The next morning the papers told of robbery, in which householder had been wounded, after shooting one of the burglars, who succeeded in es- caping, All the facts indicated that
