Chance for Altruistio Physicians.

The statistics laid before the meet
ing of the New York Academy OF
Medicine by a Mr.. Speer, as well as
other treatises on Untouched Fields
in the Medical Profession" are worth
Studying by doctors and layTnen alike.
1t appears that in this country the
physicians average about one for each
COO of the population. This, as sickness
runs, supplies enough. and often more
than enough, Of them. 1t is obviously
the case, because every town of any size
contains a number OF physicians who
are living on hope of better things,
rather than on an established practice.
There are many other countries, par
ticularly II the Orient, which are much
undermanned in this line. Persia, for
instance, with a population of 100000
souls, has only thirty doctors. Korea,
with 100000 inhabitants, has but
thirty-six Of them. China's almost 4oo,-
10000 depend for the most part upon
365 medical missionaries. In South
America conditions are somewhat bet

King Alfonso takes the Kaiser as q
model in more ways than one. but he
doesn't admit the fact. He has fallen
into the habit Of making unexpected
calls upon the barracks in his country.
Just as his Majesty Of Potsdam does in
the Fatherland This reminds me that
when quite a kid he daily drilled a regi-
ment Of boy soldiers, raised especially
for his edihcstion. Those boys have
grown up now. and believe they have
a never-dying contempt for all things
military.
When that regiment OF giants existed
Alfonso took lessons in the art OF fght-
ing and lodging the enemy from a big
general. Once the boy King couldn't un-
derstand the working Of some heavy ord
nance and consequently asked innumer-
able questions.

Automobile Racing
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old SIvaah."

Automobile racing is a modern inven-
ton which would have made the old
Roman chariot races look like an ice
wagon parade. The Romans are still
considered by historians to have been
a lively and enterprising people. but X
a Roman citizen who has been q gladi-
atorial matinee fiend should come back
and witness a modern automobile race
from the upper curve, he would probably
put both fingers in his ears and try to
climb the fence with his teeth.
An automobile race consists Of a large
number of dust and smoke clouds, each
one inClosing A volcanic roar and
candidate for the morgue. The roars are
produced by automobiles ranging from
100 10 2JO horsepower. and when a couple
Of these leaping cataclysns come down
the stretch, making LOO impassiOned
remarks per minute apiece, the late dis
cussion between VIII and Theodore in
Massachusetts, would dwindle to a dove

Automobile races are held for the pur-
pose Of finding the weak points in auto
mobile frames and IN the spectators

We have produced cars capable Of max

cluding stops for gasoline. tires and in

4 Hat Problem.
-om the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
How many hats can an expert milIiner
trim in a day?
What is the ordinary reasonable price
Of a picture hat?
These questions were put to Judge Do
Ian. He spent the evening consulting
with MS wife.
Miss Pauline Siess, a milliner, has sued
Robert Banzuly, who has a millinery
store at l22O Blue Island Avenue, for
$50. She testified she was to work four
teen weeks at S23 a week and was TO
trim twenty hats a day. After eight
weeks she was discharged.
She said Il was impossible to turn out
twenty good hats a day. Mrs. Banzuly
insisted these hats were to cost only 50
or 50 and did not require excessive care.
Miss sless put the price at from s. to
SIS. Mrs. Banzuly had on one of the
hats IN dispute.
Il wish my wife could get one ike
that for a." commented the Judge.

Better Homes and Fairgrounds.

Views on whas is called child labor
vary. The ordinance proposed in Phil
adelphia which makes it a misdemeanor
for boys of less than ten years and
girls of less than sixteen to sell papers,
magazines, or, in fact, any form OF
merchandise, or to polish shoes on the
streets or in public buildings at any
time, especially during school hours,
is being strongly opposed by the Civic
Club of that city, and with some show
of sound reasoning.
Advocates of the new departure de-
plore the large number of unnecessary
arrests of young boys and girls. Were
this ordinance to pass, these futile ar
rests would multiply enormously and
with no good result. If the idea IS
that prevention is the only possible So
luton of criminality, the step planned
is most remarkable in its reactionary
tendency. Most boys are on the streets
because they have no other place to 60
They must have some form Of innocent
entertainment or employment!
What harm is there in selling papers?
1t is an occupation and often the only
means boys have of earning money.
What they do with their pennies varies,
and should vary with their age, the
needs of the home, and the desire for
amusement. The real and most effec-
tual way of reforming children is not
through restrictive measures. The en-
ergy OF the child must have an outlet.
Why no. direct it in useful channels?
Give the boy practical schooling, not
to forget manual training right from
the start, and you will have solved the
school truancy problem, for they will
be interested.
Give children better homes and the
streets will lose their charm Above
all else, multiply the municipal play
grounds. If the money expended in
maintaining houses OF detention, reform
schools. and other like punitive estab-
lishments were used for having more
Fairgrounds all around US for the chill
dren, or for other forms of amusement,
the child problem would be a good deal
nearer its solution

firing German Ambassador to Britain,
always has been a friend Of peace. While
presiding at a banquet in London In
honor OF the German Emperor's birthday
he made these remarks:
we are peace-loving people. We are
far from contemplating any war OF ag-
gresslon, for the reason that our national
aspirations would not be advanced by
war now that we have accomplished our
national unity. do not believe that the
destruction OF one OF two Commercial
rivals could mean advantage TO the other.
Let US suppose that one Of two such
rivals should succeed In suppreEsing the
commerce and industry Of the other.
What would be the result? Simply that
the victor would no longer be able TO
sell anything TO the vanquIshed, and thus
he himself would have destroyed a good
customer.

publican losses.
Insurgents occupy former standpzt

Dakota instsd of Hansbrough; in Cal

and in Washington Piles by Poindex-
ter; in Michigan Burrows has made

In the South the changes have been
less notable with respect to political
complexion. Daniel of Virginia, Clay
OF Georgia, and McEnery of Louisiana
died, but they have been replaced by
three other Democrats-Sawnson, Hoke
Smith, and Thornton In Mississippi
John Sharp Williams replaced Money,
retired, while Leroy Percy, who has a
strenuous fight on his hands with his
Legislature, which seeks to compel him
to resign, was chosen in place of the
late Mr.. McLaurin. From Florida Bryan
is in Taliaferro's seat, from Tennessee
Luke Lea in that Of Frazier, and upon
the death of "Fiddling Bob" Taylor
the Governor named Sanders as the
other Senator from that State. In Col
orado a Democrat, Hughes, was elected
to fill Teller's seat, but since his death
there has been a vacancy, owing to a
deadlock in the Legislature.
Thus Senator Murray Cranes de
cision to seek no reelection serves only
as another reminder Of how great have
been the changes in our Upper Cham
Der within the past three or four years.
Bailey of Texas also has firmly an
nounced that he will not again be a
candidate when his term expires next
March. Illinois, which gained Lorimer
in place of Hopkins, has just rejected
Shelby Cullom, the ranking Senator in
point of service, at the Republican pri-
maries. And, most remarkable of all, |
in Oregon Jonathan Bourne, the cham
pion of the initiative and referendum,
the apostle of progress out there, has
also been defeated at the primaries,
owing, it is said, to his too advanced |
stand on the recall issue; while in
Pennsylvania, if the primaries there are
to count for anything, Penrose also
IS booked"
Do not all these such changes in the
past three to four years almost amount
70 a revolution in the Senate?

The Kaiser and King Edward.

From the Strand
The Kaiser's affection for the late
King Edward was much more deeply
rooted than the outside world will ever
know. When the news was broken to
him that his beloved uncle had passed
away, those about him declare that the
emperor utterly broke down-possibIy the
onIy occasion upon record-and, putting
his head on his arm, sobbed quietly to
himself for several moments. Once he
had recovered from the first shock. how
ever, the innate man Of action asserted
himself As though half ashamed Of the
weakness into which he had been be-
trayed, he grufly. and in his most per
emptory manner, gave instructions for
instant preparations to be made for his
immediate departure for London. adding
that his severest displeasure would be
incurred by any one who delayed for even
few moments.

Funny Editorials.

Deep and mysterious are the ways
of our contemporary, the Washington
Times, and past the understanding of
the average reader On Friday its
leading editorial, calling thirteen Con-
gressmen by name, deplored their ex-
hibition Of "oowardice"
On Saturday the same paper printed
another editorial, this time a signed
one, apologizing for its own words
when it called the thirteen Congress
men towards.
In the same issue the paper deplores
the unparalleled spectacle Of the peo-
pie of one great political party having
a candidate thrust upon them that they
do not want" and at the same time
prints a half page advertisement-fol-
lowing a beer ad.-asLoing for contribu-
tions to push Mr.. Roosevelt's cam
paign. In the latter case, the Times
evidently goes on the theory that money
talks a little stronger than any de
mands of the people"
New Jersey cannot feel fattered at
the sd, because the inference is that
if the Rough Rider can corral enough
money he can get the New Jersey vote.
Of course, twill be easy for the Times
to print an editorial deploring the print
ing of such advertising, apologize for
asking for an immediate response
and expressing the greatest confidence
in the integrity of the voters of New
Jersey.
Verify, the ways of the Washington
Times are past understanding.
