Much alarm IL done by the excellent
men and women who gather up all the
charges Of cruelty against surgeons
and physicians and publish them in
the interest Of Humanity. We make
no exception, not even in the case Of
missionaries. w1Ao we say that there
is no class In the community which
furnishes more heroic examples Of
devotion to the interests Of mankind
than the nurses and physicians who
spend their lives not only in minister
ing to the sick, but in devising new
ways to relieve suffering and in trac-
ing out the secret causes of disease
Every month we read of physicians
who have lost their lives in the con-
duct Of experiments designed solely
to Danish the plaques which devastate
society. They die of yellow fever, the
plague, leprosy, the baneful effects Of
radiumP and the new applications Of
the secret forces which are just COM

GRAVE YARD POLITICS,

When it comes to grave yard poll
tics, the republicans of O'Brien coun-
ty are several laps ahead of their
closest rival. Here is resolution
which they passed at their recent
county convention:
Resolved, That as President Taft
has carried out the Roosevelt policies
on stretcher, he should be carried
out on a stretcher March 4, 1913, and
that Senator Cummins should be
chief pallbearer at said obsequies."

PENRosE GOT WHAT WAS COM.
E. ING TO HIM.

Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania is
the leader Of the standpat republi-
cans OF the senate, and President
Tafts political pilot. He announced
a short time ago that neither the
income tax bill nor any Of the other
democratic bills would be allowed to
pass the senate.
Well, there is a rapid change of
scenes these days. Penrose got what
he deserved in his home state last
Saturday. His machine was thrown
down, trampled upon, smashed be-
yond recognition. And now word
comes from Washington that certain
democratic measures may be allowed
to pass the senate. Il e.

JUDGES UNDER THE RECALL.

JUDGES UNDER THE RECALL.
(From the Farmers Tribune.)
What kind Of judges are we likely
to- get under the recall? It is like
ly that the bare talking about 1t In
Minnesota caused some Of our bes1
judges to think Of resignation, or re
fusal of reelection. One OF the best
judges in California declines re-elec
ton after twenty-four years ser
vice because Of the new provision il
the constitution. IS
We doubt if any lawyer worth his
salt as a judge would accept cleo
ton under this extraordinary provt
sion. AS Secretary Root SO we'll says
in his brilliant and timely paper i'm
the Independent, courts of law were
established to- protect the weak from
the strong, the minority from the
majority, the individual from a. the
community.
This protection must be, exercised
Wlthln tne umUS OF law. Ihat Is
all a whole community, a majority OF
a powerful influence over the public
mind, whether individual or col.
lective, has a right, to look for when
it is inflamed against a minority OF
an individual.
y II the just power of the courts to
throw the protection OF the law about
a minority, a corporation or an in
dividual against whom popular pas.
sion is inflamed, can be reversed by
the force Of popular passion itself,
anarchy will supervene and judges
will be ministers of popular impulse
instead of the Jaw.
In these circumstances lawyers
fit to be judge would not take the
place, nor would there be any reason
why they should. The kind of jus.
tice such courts would be fit for
could be as we'll administered by
promoting street sweepers and sewer
diggers to the bench.

SPECIAL WASHINGTON CORES.
RI PONDENCE.
RyEC H JaYenner,

10 a.
The impression is steadily gaining
ground that he. Democratic excise-in.
come tax, which proposes to place
wealth a part of the burden Of sus-
tanning the government, will pass the
senate and the White House. SEN
ator Penrose, who pretends 20 be
the leader OF the standpatters i'll the
senate, has made the statement that
none Of the Democratic bills would
be allowed to pass the senate, but 1t
Isl becoming more and more apparent
that Senator Penrose and those Of
his kind who have assumed in the
part to rule the senate no longer
have the power to ALLOW certain
measures to pass. or prevent others
from passing. 81
The truth is, great many of the
senator's on both sides OF the cham
Der, either because they are at last
frightened by the wave Of protest
against the high tariff injustice, or
because they believe in the inherent
night and justice Of the income tax
measure, have come to look favorably
on the bill. At least there has been
cessation of the talk about the
'unconstttutionaMty' of the measure,
and since this argument always has
been the standpat answer to all log
soo 10 cix g
good one Nobody pretends to
know, of course, what the ultimate
fate OF the present bill will be-. but
from the popular approval that has
been accorded the measure, it is ad-
mitted by all that such legislation
must come eventually.
The present tariff law raises about
$3.50 10000 annually in government
revenue. And for every dollar OF
revenue thus turned into the United
States treasury, it is estimated by
democratic leaders in congress, Who
have studied the matter from every
possible angle, that the tariff barons
put five dollars into their own peck
cts in the form Of Loot. In other
words, the tariff gives these ben
efictaries the right to collect 1--we
dollars in tribute for Z every dollar
the government collects in revenue.
This condition is alone responsible
for the horde OF muchroom million
aires, in this country. On every ar
:icle of daily use the people OF this
country pay this "five-to-one trl-
butte.
In the past, the tariff barons have
urged "a tariff for two principle rea-
sons. First, they pretend that they
desired to protect" American
workmen. That this. argument, which
the protectionists in congress listen
ed to with a willing ear for the
past sixteen years, is a farce, pure
and simple, has been proven beyond
doubt by the democrats at this
session Of congress chiefly through
the various investigations into trust
methods. Secondly, the trust heads,
pointed out that in no other way
could revenue be collected for the
governments support. They thus
gave their plea for tariff the form
of an excuse.
Having disposed OF the first s"rea-
SON. for keeping up the tariff, the
democrats, through the excise-income
tax bill, have offered solution OF
the other alleged difficulty.

WHY DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED.

10 s. Il b. 2 q 2 w. /. s s.
Not in generation has any party
in this country been as solidly united
as the democratic party is at the
present time, and there are good rea
sons why this is so.
& Practically every democrat is IN
i favor OF a REDUCTION Of the tariff.
In favor OF an income tax, and the
placing Of a part OF the expenses OF
the federal government upon The
wealth OF the country.
II n In favor Of stringent leg1slEatlon
against trust monopoly.
In favor Of the regulation Of bust
ness by maintaining competition.
In favor OF the election of United
States senators by direct vote Of the
people. 5.5s5...
In favor OF the publicity OF cam al
paign expenses, both before. and after
elections. Fl 81
In favor Of limiting the use OF mon
ey by candidates for public positions.
The reason why democrats are 50
exceptionally united in support OF
this progressive platform IS because
. = X. 4 !,
they declared in favor OF these re
forms sixteen years ago, and ever
since then have been educating the
public on these questions until Inc
public has been won over to the ad-
Instability Of their adoption.
When the democratic party declar'
ed these reforms the influence o.
predatory wealth was dominant In
the politics Of this country, and as a
natural consequence the party los'
control Of the managem emit OF federal
affairs. And the party also lost from
it's membership the men who had 9
higher regard for property rlghe
than for the rights OF human beings
The party also lost from It's ranks
men who belong to- parties more fo1
the purpose Of getting some office
than to help promote the things thai
are best for their country. The dem
ocratic party unloaded these undesi
rabies onto the republican party. and
then commenced campaign Of edu
cation to recover back, not the under
sirables who had left them, but
country loving repubh cans, and for
sixteen years that campaign has been
prosecuted with tireless vigor, and
substantial and permanent success
That is why it is so much easier for
the democrats to agree than it is for
the republicans. ..a
The discordant elements in the
republican party stand for diamet-
really opposite things. They find it
as difficult to unite as it is to unite
oil and water, and the democrats who
went over 10 the republicans 16 years
ago are making them considerable
part Of their trouble.

Some of Wilson's friends are wor-
rying because it takes a two-thirds
vote to nominate a democratic candi-
date for the presidency. They feel
reasonably certain that Wilson will
have majority, but not a two
thirds majority. When did a DEM
ocratic candidate for the presidency
secure majority of the delegates
and fail to get the nomination?

Human Endurance.

No test Of human endurance from
the physical standpoint can compare
in severity with that imposed upon
the workers in the steel and iron
mills Of the Pittsburg district, de-
clares writer In Current Literature.
BY singular paradox an idea prevails
among the workers themselves that
these labors of theirs are healthful.
The whole subject has Just been In.
vestigated with pains and thorough
ness by the expert OF the New York
state department of labor, John A.
Fitch. who finds the workers for the
most part healthy. but he suspects
that this excellent physical condition
is due to the precautions taken by
the men, and not to the capacity they
possess for withstanding the terrific
strain to which they are subjected
daily. The severity Of the strain it.
self is due to the incredible heat, i'm.
posing, as it does, the most tremen-
dous of all physical tests to which
the human organism is subjected in
any form of recognized human activ.
ity. What Mr. Fitch has to say on
the subject is confirmed by the best
medical opinion he was enabled to
consult in the course of the long
study of conditions made for the Rus.
