the patient that recovery is impos-
sible. As an example of what we
mean. we see a patient suffering from
an abscess Of the appendix, operation
is the only remedy. the patient rs
rushed to the hospital, some miles dis
tance, over rough roads. The abscess
ruptures on the way, and in the abb
domen a general peritonitis follows.
We operate and do what is best in
such cases. but when they get we'll,
they do so through the grace Of God
and a strong constitution, and It is
not as a rule due to the good surgery
Of any particular man, because II a
surgeon is at all up to the times the
treatment of sucn cases Is practically
the same in all cases.
It Is a simple thing TO say build a
hospital and it is just as easy TO
build one provided one has sufficient
means. It would be quite a financial
drain upon any one man to build a
hospital. and that we do not expect.
It would not be a drain upon anyone
If the whole town would take part,
and each man in town would give this
{ his honest consideration and contrib
ute accordingly.
We are sure the physicians would
give their part because they would
much rather treat a case under tav-
orable than unfavorable circum-
stances.
The physicians are doing charity
work every day, and everybody
claims their time. When a man
wants a doctor he wants him right

EDITORIAL OPINION

davis market. The Herald man noticed
two huclxsters. each carrying a basket
of sweet potatoes selling them to the
farmers whose wagons are backed up to
the curb. Approaching each farmer
thev would say: Want to buy a basket
of sweets-25cg" And the hucksters
disposed of several baskets right around
Fifth and King streets. The imposition
comes in on the general public when
the farmers turn around and sell the
sweet potatoes as their own farm pro-
duct at SO much a quarter peck. The
public when making purchase from an
occupant of the curb market belives
that it is dealing with the producer di-
rect and eliminating the profits of the
commission man. But such is not the
case in cases like the above. It is also
understood that many times the public
has been stung with crate eggs bought
/ from a farmer when the eggs were sup
posed TO be a country product.
! Conditions should be bettered in the
markets-and all the blame does not
rest upon the so-called squatters. The
farmer should come in for his share A
farmer occupying a curb space on either
King or Madison street should be all
lowed to sell nothing but the products
of his own farm.
To our mind it is more than one
man job to correct the present bad con.
ditions in the street markets There is
plenty of fault to be found and it car
be found and remedied if for a short
a few spoilers were employed to watch

sEIr PRESERVATION IN CUBA

From the Louisiana Planter.
AS our readers will see In this is
sue, our Cuban correspondence indi-
Gates an earnest movement In the
direction of self preservation. The
Cuban sugar crop of IA millions of
tons, worth even now s45 per ton or
total Of more than a hundred mil
lions of dollars. Is sacrificed to a little
coterie OF buyers in New York at not
over two-thirds of its intrinsic value
as compared with the worlds markets
for this and other commodities
What possible remedy tnere is for
this It is the duty Of the Cubans to
find out and they are now doing the
thinking necessary to any conclusions
|and thinking will, In the end, reach
sound conclusions, even OF intervening
vagaries may cloud the problem. What
is needed first is TO learn definitely that
Cuban sugar producers are imposed
upon by a combination OF buyers that
stands merciless as were the pirates
of old on the Spanish Main who. loot
ed every ship they dared to attack.
A delegation of Cuban planters, as
set forth In our Cuban letter recently
called on President Menocal, and
quoting extensively from editorials in
our Spanish and English editions
sought TO interest him In the greei

From the Dover Delawarean.
The Wilmington branch of the Far
mers' Bank is to erect new building,
commodious and modern in every re-
epect. This movement calls attention to
the fact that tnis bank, the parent in

over century old, and that it is unique
in its class, and as solid as the rock of
Gibraltar II is owned really by the
people Of Delaware and the State has
control of it.
REFORMERS AND SECULAR LAW.
From the Dover State Sentinel.
We note that the Rev. DR.. Morgan re-

posed test of the constitutionality Of
the law prohibiting the shipment OF IN
toSicating liquor into Kent and Sussex
counties. Now we frankly confess, that
we have read none of the articles IN
the controversy. We are not particular
" interested in what the contestants
say. We are interested in the fact
whether the law is a right or wrong one
To us it is a matter Of ethics OF the
arst importance that the laws be right,
khat is that they are right in the sense
of accord with the supreme law OF the
State. We do not know whether either
MIR Ward or Mr. Hastings believe the
law is right or wrong. IL IS not es.
sential that they believe either way. Il
seems to US that a position Of ! don't

are sure. however, that IJr. Morgan
nor anv or all of has Church colleagues
have any right or authority to lecture
the LAWYERS about their relation TO the

If the law is unconstitutional, ita en-

YING on white cot at Hotel
Dieu is a sweet-faced little girl
IL Her left leg is enveloped in spIints
and bandages. When these are taken
off, in a month or two, the little girl
vii. walk without lmp-for the first
time in five years. Her left foot, in
stead of being deformed and weak, will
be normal and strong.
Back of this simple picture lies a
story Of suffering and charity that, for
unusual features, has rarely been
eQualed in the southwest.
The child is 10 years old. Her name
is Lillian IsaacsOn. Her parents are
ilhterate and poor. They reside in Al
amogordo, n. NJ, where the father plies
the humble trade of shoemaker.
Five years ago Lillian was playing
in her fathers front yard in Alamo
gordo, when he fell and broke her
right ankle. She was carried into the
house by her mother and a surgeon
called. He reset the broken bone and
put it in splints and bandages IN
used to the wearing of such things, the
child cried out against the pain they
caused her, and the mother, ignorant
of the effect it would have, removed
them and allowed her baby daughter to
begin walking before the bones had
knit. The ends of the bones slipped.
the end above the ankle turning out at
almost a right angle.
Little Cripple Sells Postcards.
Hard times came to the Isaacson
family and Lillian, at the age of eight,
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-11-09

r began selling postcards, newspapers
and fruit to passengers on trains pass
ing through AlamOgordo. The little
sufferer became a familiar figure to
FL Pasoans travelling back and forth
to Cloudcroft and many have bought
her wares.
Two years after the child broke her
ankle. an FL PasO surgeon offered to
reset it. His services cost the Isaac
sons nothing Using blOodIess surgery
methods, this surgeon broke the bones
at the ankle, reset them and left the
child in her mothers care. Again the
mother removed the splints too soon,
and once more the bones slipped
out of place into a right angle above
the ankle. After that Mrs. Isaacson
refused to consent to any more opera
tions. She could see nothing in it but
cruelty, useless and unavailing.
So Lillian went about her daily task
81 Of postcard and fruit vendor at the
Alamogordo railway station with a pit
iful limp and a defOrmed foot.
AIamogOrdO Society Takes Interest.
Last year the AlamOgOrdo Charity
association tried without success to Sc
cure the mothers consent TO another
operation. Since that time the civic
league made repeated efforts to per-
suade Mrs. Isaacson to see the case in
its true light but always without sue
cess.
Finally new plan of campaign was
conceived 10 days ago by state senator
J. NJ. Bowman. Of AIamOgOrdo. He APP
piled to the court for assistance. Judge

RAISES FROGS FROM
UNFERTILIZED EGGS
Animal Life Can BE Developed without
the Agency OF the Male, Says
DR.. Jaques Loeb.

DEs JaQuca LOGDs
Chicago, Ill, Nov. 8.-Scientists are
interested in the announcement Of DR..
JaQues Loeb, head of the department
of experimental biology at the Rookie
Teller institution, that animal life can
be developed without the agency of the
male.
In a book released from the press
today, DR.. Loeb tells of experiments
by which he raised frogs from infer
tilted eggs by pricking the surface Of
the egg and injecting a tiny drop OF
frogs blood. The products Of the ex-
periments possessed sex glands and
were capable of reproducing.
Sea urchins and starfish, DR.. Loeb
says, were developed in a similar man
ner.
'I have seen the frog" This was
the answer of DR.. W. 4. Evans, former
Chicago health commissioner, to the
question OF the possibility of producing
frogs without the male of the species.
as announced by DR.. Loeb.
Or. Loeb is the highest authority
on this subject" declared Dr.. Evans
His book doubtless is the story of
a frog that he showed at a recent in
ternational congress of hygiene. The
frog, which 7 have seen, was labeled
the fatherless frog and attracted a
great deal of attention.
'Dr. Loeb is careful to state that
human reproduction along similar lines
IS impossible. The frogs so produced
are all Of the male sex and cannot re-
produce themselves"
