The Office and the Man.

Whatever may have been the
original intention OF any candidate
who Is in the running for presiden-
tial nomination on any ticket, the
deIusion about the office seeking the
man must by this time have been dis
carded. On both sides OF the political
fence we see the lines sharply drawn.
and each aspirant for presidential
honor hotly engaged In its pursuit.
This applies to republicans and
democrats alike, but is most strik-
ingly exemplified In the case OF Col
onel Roosevelt. From being merely
receptive candidate, mentioned by
friends as a dark horse 10 whom the
convention might turn as a way out
OF deadlock, he was compelled by
force OF circumstances to declare
openly his willingness to accept the
nomination II a party call should
come 10 him, but be has been unable
TO stop even there to wait for the
spontaneous demand because our
methods OF president making do not
permit. The willingness to be
drafted has given way to a readiness
TO help along the movement to nomi-
nate him by the use Of the usual ma
chinery Of politics and personal ap-
pearance on the hustings.
Among the democrats the situation
Is no different. Devotion to princi-
pie. and zeal for tine cause, Is in

Doctors and Their Fees.

II may be all right for medical
men TO enforce certain schedules Of
prices for their services and to
pcnaliEe those who cut the rates,
though the idea OF unionizing the
profession seems scarcely compati-
BILE with its code OF ethics. Pro-
posAl OF a rule by the local Medical
society in deciding to expel all men,
bers who, In consideration OF whole
sale practice or for other purposes,
habitually ignore established sched-
ules. invites attention also to exces-
sive fees. The public will be dis
posed to treat the minimum fee
proposition as more interesting to
the doctors. themselves. than to the
patient. the lattef's anxiety CENTER
ing chiefly on the matter OF over
charging.
or course. most physicians and
surgeons give away their services
time and again to those unable tc
buy them. and that Is commendable.
but even that does not justify exor-
bitant fees at other times, aud ii
would seem but fair that In setting
limits to charges the profession take
equal cognizance of this phase of the
case.
Another important thing in this
same connection, about which an
ethical profession should feel great
concern, is the practice Of fee-split-
ting. Carried to its logical ends.
buying business by splitting fees is
vicious and dangerous. II ought to
be stopped and. as the Medical Jour
nal. itself, says: Physicians. them
selves. through their local organiza-
tions, can correct this evil II they
will. II they do not. then they
must expect the public. itself. to
take the correction in It's own hands.
And II this is done the results are

The brown earth. fallowed rich.
Breaks through the melting SHOWS.
The mountain stream
Chants high anthem from a bubbling

The gray-haired skies
Recall the smooth-browed calm

The trees, still bare,
Yet breathe maternal mystery,
And whisper to the eager-asking birds
A secret presciepce. And but last night
A cricket stirred
And shrilled its bell-like song across the
field.
Now Flora walks abroad.
Her fertile tread sa.a.
Leaving a magic imprint on the mould
And WHO have eyes
May see her as she passes DER the grass
Her breath is oalm,
Her gaze. compassionate warmth;
Her finger-tips drip myrrh.
And everything that senses her approach
Thrills with the joy Of resurrected hope.

Sooner or later the miners and
their employers win have TO get to-
gether, but they start out in their
controversy SO far apart that, unless
rapid progress Is made. long time
will elapse before they come into
friendly contact.
in short, the American anthracite
miners demand an increase in wages
Of 20 per cent. Their employers pro-
pose a three-year renewal Of the old
agreement. The bituminous miners
are asking for 10 per cent additional
pay, while their operators propose a
10 per cent decrease.
There is always a common ground
between the contending forces in a
strike and there is one here. but, un-
less one side or the other II bluffing.
II Is going to be difficult to reach.
These proposed terms certainly are
so far apart as. in themselves. TO
warrant little hope OF an early ter
nination OF the threatened strike.
The public. the third party in all
labor disputes, is not likely 70 re-
ceive any greater consideration in
this controversy than 1t usually does.
and II has this much in Its favor.
that the winter being about over. the
burden Will not be as hard to bear
as IL the strike came earlier. That
very fact also operates more in favor
OF the miner than the mine owner.
particularly In view Of the other i'm
portant fact that European miners
are on strike, compelling tremendous
demands for fuel to be made upon
American markets.

A Housemaids' Club.

II may never have occurred to the
ordinary housewife that what her
maid needs 10 make her a better do
mestic is an element OF club life.
but that is the belief Of the Woman's
Christian association OF Minneapo-
lis. The travellers aid department
OF that association has invited all
housemaids interested TO Join with
II in the organization OF such a club.
It is to be Of such a character as will
afford an opportunity for social eul-
ture. with a moral atmosphere that
win make the life wholesome.
II seems rather ironical that the
good housemalds have selected
Thursday afternoon as the day OF
the clubs weekly meeting and that
they have decided II expedient that
one OF the mistresses shall meet with
the girls each week in n sort OF ad-
yisory or monitory capacity. The
plan Is suggested OF having one OF
the women read n paper or deliver
an address. say. upon the highly en-
tertaining subject OF her travels or
human life experiences. We can
imagine with what alacrity the cook
will respond to the opportunity OF
going down to the club to listen to
a talk by the ''missus."
But this ideal scheme has some
unfavorable as well as many favora-
BILE aspects. II would be as bad to
overcultivate the maids graces as
not TO cultivate them at all. Tact.
therefore. and lots OF II. will be re-
CURED by the good women in charge
OF this new philanthropy. II would
be exceedingly unfortunate for the
domestic as well as her mistress to
help her to so lofty a conception OF
life that she would feel herself look
ihE toNn uPoh htf oWu cpntIt VI
labor whenever she had occasion to
think OF her calling. II will not do
to give her a distorted vision OF the
honorable and indispensable work.
which II has been the lot OF herself
and many other worthy young
women 10 do.
The good women. Of course. must
appreciate the delicacy OF their un-
dertaking. They viii surely guard
against the possibility OF having the
maid walk in In the midst OF impor-
tant family plans with the informa-
tion that. as she was down for a talk
at the club that afternoon, why. Of
course. she would be unable to look
after the affairs In the kitchen. But
aside from the faeetious possibilities
Of the Venture. II betokens exactly
the right spirit which ought to ex-
tend from the parlor toward the
