4 F.. REwELL TO DUKE.

A +. -REWELL TO DUKE.
James B. Duke is going to live in
England and there is mourning in the
land.
Who hereafter will plaster our bill
boards with large, red bulls? What will
the department of justice do for some
booy to prosecute when business is
slack? Who will watch over the pro
duction of our fine-cut, twist pigtail,
dog s-leg, natural-leaf, granulated,
curly-cut, sliced, and roll-cut tobac-
co? Who will make our cigars, cigar
etts, snuff and tin foil? Who will
prepare the licorice wherewith our
plug is favored?
These are serious questions, but
worse remains behind. Where will the
country find another man so adept at
boarding up the doors of small tobac-
co factories with the sole view of
demonstrating the benevolence of
large combinations?
But 1T is too late to ask now. He
turns sadly but firmly, toward an
oiner lano where two shining exam
pies demonstrate that the true Ameri-
can IS appreciated. He goes to join
fslchard Croker, priest of political
purity. and that genial Democrat Will

LITTLE FOR DOCTORS TO DO
Accounts Seem to Show That Disease
ls Soon to Become Thing Of
the Past.

After reading the speeches and the
papers at the Medical congress one
gets the impression that the outlook
for the medical profession is gloomy
indeed, says London Truth. One
deadly disease after another has been
tackled and overthrow. Discovery
follows discovery, each more brilliant
than the last and fraught with great
or benefit to mankind. 1t takes whole
week of reading and talking to de.
scribe the wonderful things that doc
tors have been doing in all parts OF
the world merely within the last ~
months. Obviously, there must soon
be no more worlds to conquer. Every
one will have been cured and no more
doctors will be wanted. 1t is pathet-
ic to see the crowded ranks of the
new generation OF Bob Sawyers, and
to reflect that in few years their oc-
cupation will be gone.
Would it not be well If somebody
were to get up congress of pa
tlents? 1t Is Just possible that we
might then hear another side Of these
astonishing scientific achievements. AS
q matter of fact, every congress OF
medicos that ! can remember has
been conducted with the same strain;
but disease has continued to dxist,
doctors have continued to multiply.
and the one thing that is perfectly GER
tain as each generation proclaims its
new knowledge is that the preceding
generation knew nothing at all In
order to get at the real value of all
the achievements that we have heard
about during the past week we must
walt until the next International con-
gress is held In London.
