An aneurism operation wa g
performed late Wednesday after
noon in Bellevue HospitaI by DR..
William G. Lusk, in which .36

around the aorta, and a current
sent through the wire, which re-

The operation was in the Crane

long the life OF the patient.
The patient who underwent the
operation is Oscar Nelson, so
years old, a cabinet maker, who
was taken from the PENNSYLVANIA
Hotel, Thirty.fifth street and
Eightayenue, on July 16. He
was examined by several surgeon
who said the Case was hopeless.
Dr.. Lusk was called in and after
an examination decided there
was a possible chance. The pa

from a swelling Of the. aorto,
which had grown to such an ex.

of q short time when the vessel
would break causing death. $
The patient was told OF the risk
of an operation, but req dily con.

Charlott Observer.


Charlott Observer.
In his "conie .sion oil faith" al
lie call. it, Mr.. Roosevelt takes
a pretty rank view oisome OF the
economic questions OF the day,
beng in part rankly populistic
and again in part rather social
tic. Having been whipped out in
Chicago, the Colonel very frpnk-
" says that he can look for no
help from ths Republican party
or, machine-as he puts it. Nat
urally he could expect none from,
the Democratic party, 70 it was
to have been expected that he
would kick these husks aside and
invite the people to- walk up to o
feast Of the real thing-acorns.
But while Mr.. Roosevelt would
go tn extremes in some things,
lie is sound on some questions.
He would have effective and com.
pletp regulation of the trusts by
like powers exercised over the
railroads by the Interatate to Com.
merre Commission and over the
national banks by the Compt-
roller OF the Currency, To this
end. he advocates the creation of
a Nationl Industrial Commission
but it seems to US thepresent pow
era conld be extended in influence
to reach the desired objects. He
is strongly In favor of the recall
of judges. which he thinks is nei-
ther a doctrine of anarchy or
socialism, but rather a correc-
tive of both. He wants Federal
co.operation in the important
matter OF enlarging our foreign
comlnerce and we take it that BY
hin recommendation OF the Euro
pean system that he favors lib
eral government subsidies. He
would have publicity applied to
wage scales and other labor data
and would hays wage commits.
sions to take complete charge OF
the business of the fact ories and
shops and industries oil the coun-
try. He would, in short, have
governmental control, of al! in
dustrial business, q species of
socialism for which be offers no
qualifying cause.
The Colonel would have the

funcet Country Life Commission,
whose death, hssays, was agrnat

sion marked the beginning OF the
between Roosevelt and Taft. ,. As
to the cost OF high living, The
Colonel says the Republican rem.
edial promise is not worth the
paper it is printed upon-the
, party is such a liar-and it is
hopeless to turn to the Democrats
, for relief To reach the seat OF
trouble, : he would have fearless
, intelligent and searching inquiry
followed by effective legislation.
All the people could a d dop t
y Roosevplt's plank on conserva-
o tion, but there is no necessity fol
, that, as it is promised by bott
, the older parties.
Roosevelt affIrms that he is
not a thpOrist, but that his con
victions on the troubles OF tha
, country have been arrived at
- after much careful stud y and ex-
!, perience and that there was nevel
4 a fight better worth making thar
the one which he has mapped ou
