Dr.. Young Doctors Host.

Proving the excellence of his
hospitality and interest in the cause
OF medical science, DR.. Hugh H.
Young, president of the Medical
and Chirurgical Faculty of Mary
land, has chartered the steamer
Dorchester, one Of the new ships
Of the B., c. & A. Railway, upon
which he will entertain members of
the faculty on their way to the
meeting, which will be held in Cam
bridge tomorrow.
DR.. Young will bear the cost of
the trip and has provided ample
entertainment for his guests on
board the ship. It is expected that
more than 100 members of the
faculty from Baltimore and the
western part of the State will at
tend. This brings up the question,
What will mothers do if babies be-
gin teething?" but the physicians
are not worried about that.
The Dorchester will leave Pier
4. Light street, tonight at O'Clock.
and will dock at this city early on
Tuesday morning. A smoker has
been arranged to take place on the
way down the bay. Refreshments
will be served and the medical
orchestra will play the latest comic
opera music. The lighter music is
chosen because the physicians in
tend to forget all about "materia
medica," physiology and other daily
problems until the convention is
open.
In Cambridge the program in
cludes plenty of serious work and
entertainment. Scientific sessions
will be held, starting at $50 a. m.
and lasting until p. m.

Wilson'S Method.

In various places we see referen-
ces to Woodrow Wilson's brilliant
leadership" in the campaign just
closed. He made none OF the mis-
takes which might have been ex-
pected from a comparative novice
in the game of politics, he parted
the attacks of his adversaries won
derfully well, and. most important
Of all, he chose his own ground for
the fighting and forced his enemies
to make their stand on that ground.
From this point of view his leader
ship was unquestionably brilliant.
Yet II you examine his method
you will find that it was absurdly
simple. There was no cunning
about it, no complex strategy, no
straining after dramatic effects.
Wilson simply adopted the method
of examining every question sub
mitted to him with the clear head
and sound judgment that are adj
mittedly part Of his equipment,
and then telling the truth about it.
The practical politician disdains this
sort of warfare. He calls 1t anna
flourish. He Is for making mys-
teries Of things and for obtaining
results through subtlety and in
direction. Wilson has shown how
immeasurably superior Is the poll
cy Of straightforwardness and truth.
That is how he obtained his
campaign triumphs in New Jersey
and his triumphs of legislation. He
told the people OF his State and
he told its legislators the truth
about the measures he was advocat-
ing. Wilson has no great qualities
of generalship or Of leadership in
the sense that he can outmaneuver
his opponents in the arts Of cum
ming and intrigue. About the only
quality which he seems to possess
in unusual measure Is the power
of statement, which, of course, in
wolves clear thinking. He can
make. and he has made, the people
understand what government is
and what the issues Of the day are.
It is this clear vision that enables
him to maintain his rare poise and,
like the Happy Warrior. to !. keep
through the heat Of conflict the
Law in calmness made. 80:
And it is this that makes those
who have watched his career close
ly so confident that he will be
successful In the Presidency. There
can be little doubt that we are
entering upon new era in our
Government. that the RULE OF
THE PEOPLE is going to mean
something more in the future than
1t has meant in the past. The peo-
pie are going to rule, not only
more thoroughly, but also more
directly than they have been do
ing II we mistake MOI, they are
going to take a greater interest in
politics. If they are to act wise
ly, they will need capable leader
ship. competent guidance. Herein
lies the great opportunity for such
men as Wilson, who can think
clearly. who can make their thoughts
understood of the people and who
will not lie.-Baltimore Sun.
