THE PIONEER IN SCIENCE

Is it the fate of most pioneers in
science to meet with belligerent and
cynical opposition on the part of those
from whom aid should come? The
conditions under which DR.. Friedman
is testing his treatment for tuberculos-
is brings up again this question, which
has been so often before the mind oil
the student of the worlds great dis =.
coveries, reforms and inventions.
The experience of Dr. Friedman is
not different from that of the men who
have striven to give the world better
conditions, according to the following
article from the New Orleans Daily
States:
Whether DR.. Friedman, claiming to
have discovered cure for tuberculos-
is, is charlatan or one of the worlds
great scientists, the sorry experience
of the young Berlin physician with the
members of his own profession at
home and in New York does not differ
materially from that of many other
benefactors of the human race whose
discoveries and inventions first sub
jected them to brutal ridicule. Denun-
Citations, contempt and sometimes ex-
lie have been their rewards.
Hippocrates, the first great physic-
ian, was looked upon by most of the
learned men of his time as a fal1ir. If
empty brain, and people were advised
to pay little attention to his teachings.
Galen, who discovered the nervous
system, the muscular structure, the
value of the pulse in determining
patients condition, was hooted out OF
Rome by the doctors OF his day. Har-

THE SILK WORMS RIVAL
(From the independently

(From the independently
With the increase of the human race
and its many new necessities, there
seems always to arise at just the right
time method of supply The old ways
OF obtaining silk from the silk worm
will continue probably as long as the
world shall exist, but to care for the
silk worm and to wind the silk is so
slow and tedious a process that silk
must always be high-priced and its use
limited to the few. But now comes the
modern invention of viscose or artific-
lal silk from wood. Just as we had 10
abandon flax and cotton for making pa
per, and chop down trees to produce
the tons and tons demanded, so no.y
we are abandoning the silk worm with
its slow and expensive process, and
are putting the trees into the mill,
grinding them up, treating them in d
certain chemical manner, most of
which is secret, SO as to produce not
exactly an equivalent for silk, but in
many respects material that has wild
er adaptability and greater availability
than silk. This new silk is readily
manufactured into close imitation Of
human hair, and for the various intri-
cacies of feminine headgear of puffs
and pads and frills and rats and of
other things, this new silk has a decid-
ed advantage, as it does not give the
wearer the feeling that it came from
some head of uncertain cleanliness or
desirability. The artificial hair is ev-
en- more clearly than the natural, be-
cause 1t has gone through chemical
process which makes it practically
pure, literally so in the sense in which
the term is commonly used.
The new silk has a decided lustre,
and gives the fingers a pleasing sensa-
ton; it is not harsh and irritating as
some forms of silk fabrics are inclin-
ed to be- In lacework beautiful pat
terms adapted to true silk lend them
selves as readily to the artificial. 1t
takes color readily and hence is valu-
able for many kinds of fabrics where
true silk on account of it's greater ex-
pense, would not be used. The viscose
silk is especially attractive for fabrics
that need to be repeatedly tied and un-
tied into bows and similar objects.

the first twelve days. of the Wilson ad
minisration. The new president has
shown a disposition to tell the public
al he can properly tell them about
things that are happening at the white
house. Whether it has been a formal
meeting with Charles F. Murphy, the
Tammany boss, or a conference with
his cabinet, the new president has been
ready to tell the facts.
The man who was the least know
to the public of any in the Wilson cab
| met is the member who is arousing the
most comment here. Everybody who
has come in contact with the new sec
rotary of War, Lindley NJ. Garrison, of
New Jersey, agrees he is one of the
: biggest, brainest men in the presidents
official family.
Henry L. Stimson, the retiring sec
rotary of war, acknowledged before
leaving Washington his amazement at
the way in which Garrison had grasp
ed the details of the problems con-
fronting the war department in the
two or three days he had been with
him. Other men familiar with the war
department routine have predicted a
great record for Wilson's new secreta-
ry of war.
President Wilson appointments
thus far have done as much as any
thing to contribute to the good impress
sion the national capital has formed
of his administration. At the same
time the opinion is rapidly taking sub
stance that it is in this that the presi-
dent will find most of his trouble. The
country generally is applauding his
selections thus far, but the office-seek-
ers and the politicians are grumbling.
1t will be only a short time when this
tfcelng will fare into revolt.
/ Everything that has occurred thus
far indicates that the president will
not yield. 1t is plain that merit, not
politics, has dictated his choice for
important offices, and in this the pres
ident has been supported by the mem
lbers of his cabinet.

rhe New Administrations Record.
New York Sum-

N4NSW IOl N sum-
The most pleasing feature of the new
administration to many is its general
conservatism If one thing stands ont
more than another it is the caution and
Idellberation with which President Will
son 1t moving 1t took him more than
a week to make up his mind on the
South and Central American situation,
although it was acute When he did
move, however, it was with a positive
ness that left no doubt as to his atti-
tude and that shattered the hopes of
those who had been predicting he
would repudiate the Taft policy Of
dealing with the turbulent republics
to the South.
That has been the only matter on
which the new president has spoken
since he entered office, but he is NOV
ing with the same caution in regard to
others. Another statement may Oe
expected from him soon in regard 81
the administrations attitude toward
the Mexican situation, and it is pre-
dicted this will be as conservative AMI
satisfactory to the country as the one
on South and Central America.
These statements indicate a gen.
eral policy on the part Of the new adj
ministration. President Wilson will
move slowly and not until he is GER
tain of his ground, and then he will
take the public into his confidence.
This application of the publicity idea
is one feature that has distinguished

THE SOUTH LEADS THE WAY

Again is the South being pointed to
as a pioneer in most useful field ana
as a leader for the nation. Corn clubs.
which originated in the South, will be
extended so as to include the entire
country. This is announced as the
purpose of the Department of Agricul-
ture, which plans to extend the work
of the corn clubs to all corn-growing
states in the Union as soon as pos
sible.
1t is such helpful work as in supply
ing the nation with large part of its
food and in advancing its general pro-
gressiyeness in Agriculture tnat the
South is doing most notable work. EI-
cry member of every corn cluo in the
South should take fresh hope and in
spiration from this announcement, Of
which the Atlanta Journal says:
So fruitful has been the work of the
Boys Corn clubs in the South that the
federal Department of Agriculture nov
plans to make this movement nation
wide. What the organization of youth
full farmers has accomplished for grain
culture in this section, it can accom-.
plish for other rural interests through
out the country.
In the boys and girls of the farm,
there is a tremendous store of energy
that can be turned to creative and pro-
gressive account 1t is through them
that the cause of scientific, as con-
trasted with haphazard, methods OF
agriculture can be pressed forward
most speedily and most permanently
When they are made to feel that thew
have an active and definite part in the
affairs of the farm and in the adj
vancement of their countrys interests,
when they are given an opportunity to
win honors and to produce results,
they will have little inclination to
abandon the life to which they were
born for that of the city.
The old cry of back to the farm
has been succeeded by a wiser slogan,
that of stay on the farm" And this
appeal is being supported by intelli-
gent efforts to make rural life truly
attractive. or rather to bring to the
front those advantages which are in
herent in rural life. Among the most
interesting and, perhaps, the most eff
fective of those efforts is that repre-
scented by the Boys Corn club move
ment.
This enterprise has not only increas-
ed the yield and improved the quality
OF corn in those states where it has
been inaugurated 1t has also quick
ened and enriched the interest of the
boys in their native environment. It
has proved wonderful agency in the
agricultural education and progress Of
the South. 1t is gratifying to know
that this constructive movement is to
he extended throughout the nation.

vey, who discovered the circulation OF
the blood in the sixteenth century, was
the object of the bitter denunciation Of
the physicians and surgeons of his
day.
1t might be said that these were the
primitive days of medical and surgical
science, when skepticism was general.
But how shall We explain similar in
stances of intolerance in our own en-
lightened age?
When Jenner found what he called
cowpox would immunize a person from
smallpox he was vigorously condemn
ed not only by the doctors but by tho
preachers. 1t was only when, to dem-
onstrate his own confidence, he inocu
lated dear relative with vaccine and
then deliberately tried, though I'M
successful, to infect him with sinai:
pox germs, that the doctors even toos
notice of him. 1t was long after that
they came to accept his wonderful dis
covery.
When Pasteur announced his germ
theory he was greeted with sneers AMI
jeers. Like was the fate of Lister
when he began his antiseptic surgery
which has rendered death a less GER
tain sequel of an operation.
1t is not only physicians and surg
cons who suffer these discouraging
taunts in their efforts to benefit civil
i7ation. They called Columbus crazy
when he said the world was round.
They laughed at Fulton when he un.
dertook to apply steam to navigation
Westinghouse hawked his air brake
firm Office to office before he could get
a hearing. Bell was called a dreamer
when he said he had invented a mears
by which the human voice could be
transmitted over long distances. Morse
was abused as hot-air artist when he
told the world he had solved the prob
lem of bringing all parts of the world
into instantaneous communication
Langley died broken hearted as a re
suit of the iests over his attempts to
fly. Mergenthaler was on the verge of
starvation when he found an angel who
made possible the revolution in the
printing business.
1t may be that DR.. Friedman is a
fraud. 1t may be that the hope he has
held out to suffering millions of human
beings that tuberculosis is durable is a
false one. But it does not necessarily
follow that because the physicians are
filling the air with skepticism and the
newspapers of New York are treating
his efforts with contempt that his dis
covery will not ultimately prove 10
humanity the boon he claims for it,

Britain. France, Russia, Germany and
Austria has been appointed to make
an impartial inquiry into the alleg-
ed massacres in the Balkans during
the recent war and economic condi-
tons. consequences arising from the
war. The inquiry will not be affected
by political considerations.
The result of the committees find.
ing will be presented in a genera

ages and widely disseminated.
The committee believes the work
will meet the widely expressed desire
by the people in drawing out the
moral of the drama which played for
nearly a year before the whole world,
and 1t will also point out the conse-
quences feared. The work will not be
exclusively retrospective. but will call
attention to fresh dangers that are
liable to arise and claim further vic.
Tins in both the Balkans and Asiatic
Turkey.
