hibitors at the worlds premier, equine. exhibition have had things, pretty much their own way, save in the Jumping competitions, but this week it is anticipated that the invad- CTS will not find 1t quite so easy to Vanderbilt's chances to capture the coaching marathon are considered very remote, but Judge William H. Moore will be a dangerous competitor, as he will defend his international cup with the same four as in 1911. good string is J. Sumner Draper, whose entries are in the harness class es Clifford sifton of Ottawa, will represent Canada in the competition for the King, Edward cup. The great est prize in the jumping contests is the King Edward VII gold cup for competition between teams of three has been won twice by French team, and should that country again be vic- torious the trophy will become it's permanent property The Belgians- have once been victorious in this event. The United States army has not sent team this year to take part in the international jumping contests: be renewed, after having been won in 1911 by a Russian officer.

MEDICAL EDUCATION

Dr. Abraham F1exner. of the Carnegie Foundation for the advance, mem of teaching. renews an attack on American medical schools, which he began two years ago. The pre- sent assault takes the form of a re- port on Medical schools in Germany. which the writer says are greatly superior to schools in this country.
 The advantage of the foreign schools principally consists apparent ly in their larger hospital facilities, and in their more experienced teach- ing corps. x sr
 The examination. of the medical embryo in this country is largely writ ten. Abroadr the would be doctor must pass in the actual .diagnosti- cation of disease and the prescription of treatment. In dissection here the medico tells about it in writing. Tn Germany he does actual work in the presence of the examiners.
 Dr. F1exner insists that if German standards were insisted on, three fourths of the medical schools in this country would close at once.

NEW RULES NEEDED

The minds of great men oft re- minded us that testimony and thought may be widely separated. There is Sir Alfred Chalmers, professional ad- wiser tc the marine department of the Board of Trade,' who has just testified that there is no lesson to be drawn from the sinking of the Ti- tanic, because it was an "extraordi- nary affair." and therefore it sug- gests to him no necessity to change in any degree the rules governing navigation on the Atlantic ocean.
 In the next breath this distinguish ed gentleman with the ivory skull GAia that the life boat rules had not Asen ehAnked in eighteen years.
 fhes Mtanss hsS& Y E sf'adih sS Board of Trade complement of life boats 4Noard. These were sufficient to save the lives of TOO persons. Some l.500 others were lost for lack of boats, who might have been saved. {. Sir Alfred Chalmers appears to be himself an extraordinary affair. He suggests the necessity of a rule to restore motion among the brain cells of professional advisors to boards of trade.

REASONABLE R :'llI.l REQUEST

That seems a reasonable request of the florists. that city business in their line be opened to competition. They complain that certain plants have been furnished to the park board by allotment to one member of their honorable occupation. Mayor Wilson explainBn the Ie&ra reacton by stating that f62n Rat1d- eau6eY not fall under the operation of the Board Of Contract and Supply. The Super intendent of parks says that the orders referred to were segmental, and no single order in such quantity as to come under the provision re- quiring bids. Eleven so, it would be better to open the market. The city might be beneittted and everybody would be better satisfied. City boards should avoid. even the ap- pearance of favoritism.

HOW MORGAN
 SAVED THE DAY

How Morgan saved the stock ex- change was in fair way to become one of the epics of the nation, like the ride of Paul Revere, sheridan's descent upon Winchester, or Roose- velt's heroic movement upon Chi- cago. sA
 Dark were the prospects in the stock exchange one Autumn day in 1907. Brokers there were who were short and others who were Tong and all were loaded to the gunwales with stocks on margin. They need ed cash to keep the margins safe. and there was no cash, excepting at 160 per cent. or near.
 In this desperate moment MT. Thomas, president of the Stock Ex- change. sought out Morgan. we are going to let you have $25.000,o00,' said the financier, with the manner of g medieval monarch disposing of a mere trifle.
 So the money was split among several banks and loaned to desper- ate stock brokers at "all the traffic would bear.''
 Now it appears by the testimony of George B. Cortelyou, formerly secretary of the treasury. that the $25,00o.000 was furnished by the United States Government to "re- store confidence"
 The effort was successful. MT. Morgan's confidence in his ability to make money out of nothing became supreme. The confidence of divers stockholders in their ability to carry stocks without assets was trebly re- newed.
 Great financial institutions pre- sented MT. Morgan with testimonials. Yale conferred degree upon him. He became a hero.
 Noble MT. Morgan! A very typical hero is he of the heroism of rotten finance and traitorous government, a very sign and symbol of the universal rottenness that hides itself in the crannies and crevices of the coun- try's institutions.
 Millions to boost stock gambling! Not single cent to save the people from stock gam blers!

FIRST THINGS

That immortal hymn, Lead Kindly Light" was composed and first sung on an orange boat becalmed on the Mediterranean seventy-nine years ago. John Henry Newman, afterward Cardinal Newman, stricken with fever and very Respondent, was on board the craft, which, Hike a painted ship upon painted sea- lay off the island of Caprera. It was to cheer himself and to help drive away the depres- son that filled the mind with thoughts of dire things that the sick man com posed, within an hour or two, the words and air of Lead, Kindly Light.',' He read 1t to the idle sailors, and he hummed the tune, and the, English seamen on board soon caught it up. The date of the composition of the hymn, June 16, 1883, was the turning point in Newman's career. He became a leader in the Oxford Movement in England. in 1845 went over to the Church of. Rome, and eventually be- came a cardinal.
 The huge steamship Great Eastern. at that time by far the largest ves- sel eyer built, left England for New York on her first Atlantic voyage f1fty-two years ago today, June IT.. 1860. From the first her career was unfortunate, the launching alone cost ing $500, 900. After several unremun- erative trips to New York she was

THROWING OUT TEXAS

The decision of the Republican Ma tional' Committee in the matter of the Texas delegates at large again il- lustrates the necessity of a Federal law controlling presidential prefer ence primaries. There is no claim that the Roosevelt delegates from Texas were not legally chosen under the laws of Texas, in the regular Republican convention. It's ad- mitted. The Taft delegates were seated. upon the theory that the Texas law governing primary elections is not in accordance with the rules of the national committee. The specified objection is that the Texas law, gave the same representa- Hon to tsparsely populated counties as 10 populous counties, which is to say that Texas maintains to some extent the system which prevails in Con- necticut. Under this theory the Re- publican delegation from Connecticut should be immediately thrown out. It represents not the voters of the state. but the towns. But the Con- necticut delegation will not be thrown out. because it is for Taft.
 If national committees oppose their rules to the laws of states Republi- cans who are members of the na- tional committees must not complain

employed as a troopship, ana then as cable-laying vessel. Various at- tempts were afterward made to utilize her, but at last she came to be a mere holiday spectacle. and in 1888 she was broken up.- Experts declared that the experience with. the Great Eastern conclusively proved that such gi- gantic steamships were failures! The length of the Great Eastern was 6S0 feet. while the Mauretania and Lusi- tania are each 790 feet: the Olympic. sister ship of the lost Titanic is 8S2 feet: the Cunarder Aquitania, now building, will be 885 feet and the Hamburg American liner Imperator, under construction, will be 300 feet. In a paper before the recent Inter national Navigation Congress it was predicted by a Dutch expert that ships 1,500 feet in length will be seen within a few years.

THE STOCK MARKET.
lT .L. Watson & Co.l .

The stock market has fallen into a rut, with professional operations pre- dominating. But neither dullness nor raiding brings out many stocks When the traders turn to repurchase their lines there are small supplies offer ing. Money conditions remain on the side of the bulls. The present apathy of speculation may last over the Re- publican National Convention. But there are no signs of it being a. liquidating market. On the contrary fundamental conditions remain strong enough to encourage buying on the reactions in the absence of unfavor- able developments.
