BY CARY b. LEWIS.

Chicago.-Dr. Daniel Fl. Williams Of
this city. the eminent surgeon and
physician, is maintaining an unusual
ly high standard in the medical world.
Since his early rise In the field of
surgery he has been called to various
sections Of the country and has per-
formed the most difficult operations
with skill and ability. So successful
have been these operations that the
great surgeons pronounce his technique
as marvellous.
Twenty-Five years he has toiled and
accomplished until he has been the
"open sesame" to UNEMPLOYED fields OF
research and means of giving to the
medical world wider knowledge and
better understanding Of the laws
governing the human body. The large
number Of critical operations which
DR.. Williams has so successfully per-
formed has been quoted throughout
by the medical journals and works In
surgery. 1t was signal race victory
when he was placed on the staff of
ST. Luke's hospital. In fact. he Is the
only colored surgeon who has done
work at white institution having the
prestige which st. Luke's has.
In 1910 mt the third annual session
Of the Indiana Association of Physi-
clans medical men clamored for ad-
mission to an operation which he was
to perform at the City hospital. En-
trance to the operating rooms was q
great privilege, never before granted
to colored surgeon. He is recognized
by physicians generally as medical
authority.
1t Is to such men as this and to
such work as DR.. Daniel Williams is
atls to perform that the race owes its
progress and stability. He is the I'm

\ DOING REAL HARM.

People who do us harm in the
end are not the wrongdoers
whom all execrate. They are the
men who do not do quite as
much wrong. but who are ap-
plauded instead Of being exc
Grated. The career of Benedict
Arnold has done US no harm as
a nation because Of the univer-
sal horror it inspired. The men
who have done us harm are
those who have advocated dis
union, but have done it so that
they have been enabled to keep
their political position; who have
advocated Reputation Of debts
or other financial dishonesty.
but have kept their standing in
the community; who preach the
= doctrines of anarchy. but refrain
from action that will bring them
within the pale Of the law. for
these men lead thousands astray
by the fact that they 60 unpun-
ished or even are rewarded for
their misdeeds.-Theodore Roose-
welt.

SEPARATION of the climbing and the de-
spair Of those who have but small
faith in this peoples possibilities.
1t is very fitting that such work
should crystalline in a clinic at Provi-
dent hospital. On Tuesday Of every
week the internes Of the hospital and
those doctors Of the city who desire to
attend are benefited by practical Illus
trations and treatments given by DR..
Williams. Here they are given the OPP
portunity Of coming into immediate
contact with master mind and hand
in surgery.
Provident hospital cares for thou
sand patients annually. Its dispensary
treats and relieves over 1900 appli-
cants yearly. Its district nurses visit
and assist thousand persons annual
ly. From this school a hundred COL
ored women have been graduated as
professional nurses. The schools in
fuence upon the race for better citizen
ship is invaluable. These facts make
1t the logical place for the clinic and
the kind Of work 1t will do.
DR.. Williams has rendered Meharry
university splendid service since he has
been STAFF member Of that institution.
1t is here that he brings to the south.
land a practical demonstration of the
ability Of the colOred man in-science.
From this institution men go ont to
all parts Of the world the better for
the training which he has been able to
give them.
Dr. Williams is connected with the
leading medical societies of America
and takes an active part in them. In
June. 1909. Wherefore university con.
ferred upon him the degree Of LII. ID.

cations. .......
