vice. Pretty uniformly the surgeons
said yes and the general practitioners
said no, not yet. You can easily under
stand why the division should follow
those lines. The surgeons see more or
the mischief wrought by these diseases
than the doctors see, for it furnishes
about half of their work. But they
deal less with the direct than with the
indirect victims. They would not have
to bear the brunt of the battle for pub
licity as doctors would. This doesn't
mean, though, that doctors are mostly
towards. Far from 1t. The doctors
would hail such a law with pleasure If
it We're supported strongly by public
sentiment. They are doing much to
develop such a sentiment. They nat
urally aren't anxious to have the law
until there is enough sentiment to
make it effective. After threshing over
the subject for two days, the Pennsyl-
vania doctors united in recommending
that hospitals receiving state aid be
obliged to receive patients suffering
from these diseases and that as soon
as adequate hospital facilities had been
arranged cases should be reported and
registered. That they were willing to
go as far as this is a favorable augury
The day will come when these diseases
will be handled by communities with
the same courage and common sense
that characterize the handling of other
infectious ailments.-Wichita Beacon.

FROM OTHER PENS

Something should be done by the
navy department to correct the exist
ing injustice in the matter of promo
tions. AS at present regulated an Of
ficer may be certified to by a legally
constituted board as fitted, morally,
mentally, physically and professional
ly, for advancement to the next higher
months awaiting such promotion, or,
still worse, be denied it altogether for
a period dependent solely upon the
whim of secretary. AS in the case
of Captain Templin Potts and Com
mander Andrews, a new secretary
may refuse to accept the repeated
recommendations of a competent and
unbiased board of examiners simply
because in the temporary high Off
ciaIS Judgment the candidate lacks
sufficient sea service in his existing
grade. 1t may happen, indeed, that
an officer was prevented from max
ing this necessary sea service because
a preceding secretary deemed that his
value to the country and navy was
greater in the particular shore duty to
which he had been assigned, and in
which, despite any application for SER
vice at sea, he had been retained. Sea
duty is, of course, the highest requi-
site IN the training of an officer, but
its minimum for promotion should be
established by law and be freed from
the WaVerlng determination of any of

THE yAIJrE OF pAcEA>-rs


The ambition of any city or town to re-
V1ve its ancient history by pageants and
similar celebrations is certainly most Iaud-
able. The New England communities
winch IN recent years have been increas-
ing their efforts in this direction have met
with flattering success. Through various
associations they have awakened a deep
interest in local history and by means of
pageants alone they have been able to re-
produce historical scenes which have
greatly impressed young and old with the
importance of their native place in the
past. The finest thing about these cele-
brations is the inspiration they are to the
Inhabitants to have more civic pride and
to undertake tasks beneficial in the high
est degree to community. The residents
of years ago did not have so many ad-
vantages as the present generation have.
yet in spite of all drawbacks they utilized
their talents for the good of their fellow
citizens. II their descendants do likewise

improvements will spring up everywhere

more beautiful and attractive than they
are, and every good citizen should Join in
all efforts tending to that end.-Boston
