Americans More Charitable.

Americans are more sympathetic.
more charitable. than the people OF
European countries" said DIR. Simon
Haaz OF Szecsany. Hungary. This
thought came to me upon a visit to
New York hospitals. where / found
that what are known as charity pa
tients in the hospitals are given
same class of patients in the Euro
pean hospitals"
DIR. Haaz. who is government ply
sician for a district in Hungary. is in
America to make a study of the medi-
cal institutions Of this country. par
ticularly hospitals. He came to
Washington to visit his brother. Isaac
Haas. a merchant of this city.
II observed in the New York hospi-
tails that the free wards were about
as comfortable as those that are paid
for. and the attention given the free
patients by physicians and nurses
quite as assiduous as to those who
were paying for their care. This is
no always the rule in Europe. l am
sorry to say. and while in many of
the institutions OF Europe the charity
wards are we'll taken care of and pa
tients given every care. there are
some instances in the larger cities
where sanitary conditions in the free
wards are not what they should be.
! was pleased to note that in all the
New York hospitals the charity wards
wer kept as clean as any others.
This greater care of the poor in
endowments. Some of our European
hospitals. unfortunately. are not SO
endowed.
II have not found in this country
that living is 80 much higher than in
E'.5Sope." added DR.. Haaz. land l was

that l would.
The Hungarian parliament Yes,
IT Is true that the members have been
having some differences. but they will
be adjusted. The whole trouble arises
over the difference in views of the
two parties regarding suffrage. There
Is strong opposition to the govern
ment's position on this question.
While the government would extend
the right of suffrage to a limited ex-
tent. 1t is opposed to giving all per-
manded by the opponents of the gov
eminent party"
Crfticiscs Democratic Managers.
If Governor Wilson is elected presi-
dent-and I have not the least doubt
he will bet will not be because of
the vigor with which his campaign is
OSIH6 ~SouuuCIeOs remarked Harry v.
Little. a prominent politician of RAJ
leigh, N. c. Doubtless the national
committee and those who are most
active in the Wilson campaign are
SO confident that victory will come
to the democrats this year that they
are not exerting themselves this early
in the campaign, preferring to wait
for the final weeks to put in their
best ticks"
But it has been remarked to me SO
frequently that the national democra-
" has no headquarters in Washing
ton. that / could not have failed to
get the impression that the democrats
are tagging behind their opponents.
Three O. four members Of congress
in the week 1 have been In WASH
ington have inquired where the DEM
ocratic headquarters are located in
Washington. Most Of them desired
to get hold of campaign books. and
in every case they had to hunt up
newspaper men from their home cities
in order to be supplied With this
necessary campaign volume.
The republicans. on the other
hand, have commodious headquarters
here. I am told, where campaign
books are handed out and efforts
making to haye voters who reside in
Washington e n to their homes to
vote"
