The state boys secretary of the Y.

sion Of the secretary and his assistants
Any Y. NJ. G. \. secretary Will be glad

There are no doubt many parents
who for one reason or another will hnd
the boys camp at Spirit Lake made
to their inclinations and plans. Those
who are contemplating summer trips
and desire a safe place for the boy
while they are away can turn in per-
feet confidence to the summer camp
at Spirit Lake. Those who are TOO
busy to take part in the boys outing
and who still desire him to have q
little trip and a good SINE and are
willing to stand the comparatively
small expense will welcome the oppor-
tunity. So far as the boy himself is
concerned there is no necessity 10 mul-

Sometime in boys career, however,

If you desire to give the boy a good
time you can't do better than to turn
him over to Leonard Paulson and the

The opinions are printed in small

because their appearance in type cor

Ir il the belief Of DR.. Friedman that
he has discovered a serum which will

suffer from consumption. Nearly all

cries of like Importance have sought
to convince the medical profession that
these discoveries were valuable. Near
Il all these physicians have as soon
as possible given their secret to the
world.
DR.. Friedman came to the uniteo
States with the declared intention OF
proving that his serum would do what
he said it could. Before anything OF
the kind has been proved, DR.. Fried
mann has entered into an arrangement
which gives him a handsome amount
of money. and which he hopes Will
bring him in a great deal more. me
success Of this arrangement depends
upon secrecy. The friedman remedy
is to be secret remedy.
DR.. Friedman has an absolute
right to exploit his remedy after TINS
fashion. 1t is a right which high MIND
ed physicians never exercise, ana
which the great discoverers whose
names are known and honored all over
the world, were morally incapable OF
exercising. To do what DR.. friedman
Is doing would. in their eyes, nave
been a stain upon their honor.
And yet It is but just to remember
that DR.. friedman has right TO
keep his remedy secret, II he can. He
is doing nothing illegal. But even ne
must admit to himself that his notions
of duty are unusual in his profession.

THE wHoLEsoMEnEss OF PUBLICITY.

The newspaper as deterrent of
crime has received official endorse
merits. The commissioner of th. Dis
trict OF Columbia in report 10 con-
sress adverse to the Works bill which
seeks to establish a press censorship
say that:
The publicity given Ivy the press
generally tends TO lessen evil condI-
ftons and thus render useful service
to the public. That bred Of publicity
has deterrent influence upon those
disposed or tempted TO committing Of
crimes may reasonably be inferred
from the fact that most offenders
against the law earnestly seek TO avoid
exposure of the circumstances Of their
misbehavior in newspaper reports OF
their trials"
ANY kind OF publicity is a deterrent
to crime. 1t is gratifying but not neces-
sary to find the commissioners stating
as much, but everyone knew that plain
exposure OF evil conditions is the sur
est path to their reformation. From the
