there as a major was responsible for the
tender of a permanent detail there with
the rank of lieutenant colonel. Gen. Tor
ney declined this offer because he wanted
to become surgeon general of the army
some day.
Detailed on Frontier.
During his early service in the army
Gen. Torney was detailed on the from
tier. where the Indians were giving
trouble at that time. AT the outbreak
of the Spanish American war he fitted
out and commanded the hospital ship
Relief. and most of his service during
that war was in Cuba. He was among
the first to realize the value Of the
X-ray. and was the first to use 1T In
the army, having put 1t into use on the
Relief.
Gen. Torney received his first appoint
ment as surgeon general OF the army
from former President Roosevelt. 1t is
of interest to note that 1t was the then
Maj. Torney who, in 1898. while on
detail in the surgeon generals office
here put Theodore Roosevelt through his
physical examination for appointment
as colonel Of the Rough Riders.
Efforts for Hospitals.
Practically all Gen. Torney's efforts
We're spent in successful efforts to i'm
prove the efficiency of the Medical Corps
of the American Army. He practically
built the Army and Navy General Hos
pital at Hot Springs. Ark, and was in
strumental in getting constructed the
Walter Reed Army General Hospital in
this city. Gen. Torney and Gen. Walter
Reed were classmates at the University
of Virginia and were close friends in
after life, when they both were in the
army.
The Medical Reserve Corps was es-
tablished and built up under his direction,
and was considered by him one Of
the most efficient adjuncts to the regular
service. Gen. Torney also was much
interested in preventive medicine, and
was a strong advocate OF the typhoid
prophylactic treatment as a safeguard
against typhoid fever.
What Gen. Torney did for the Army
Medical Corps he did in a quiet way. He
was never one for spreading broadcast
his achievements. but in his quiet way
he accomplished much in the way of i'm
proving the military medical service He
was thoroughly unselfish in his manner.
He never purposely injured any ones
feelings. 1t has often been said, and like
wise was willing to forgive any one. He
never held any resentment, and it was
this disposition which made him the idol
Of West Pointers.
His Various Affiliations.
Gen. Torney was a member of the
American Medical Association, Associa-
ton of Military Surgeons of the United
States, the American Red Cross and
chairman of the war relief committee.
the Army and Navy Club, the Catholic
Club of New York and Bohemian Club
Of San Francisco November ID, last, he

The overhead charges OF the capitalists

today OF Dean Albion W. Small OF the
University OF Chicago TO the twenty
sixth annual meeting OF the American
Economic Association. Dean Small is
president of the American Sociological
Society. meeting with the Economic As
ISOLATION.
''Our inquiry into the central prob

said Dean Small. until the leaders or
our thought and action consent to a pol
icy of candid and thorough inquiry
to whether there is something radically
mistaken in the capitalistic system It
self.
Now. when We are paying for todAys

also paying installments on other din

Competition Aid to Progress.

That danger" he continued, exists
now. We need to look very closely a.
the tendency toward the extension OF
the authority Of the government into
the details of our economic life. The
principle of competition, the system OF
economic liberalism. has been too
valuable to the progress of mankind to
be given up altogether. For competi-
ton has been a developing force, even
if 1t has failed somewhat as a con-
trolling one. The motive power 10 ac-
ton is of more Importance in the long
run than the regulation Of action.
ASIDE from Industries that are clear
ly monopolistic by nature. the whole
aim of government interference should
be to establish conditions which VIII
induce healthy competition"

1t does not look like either Washington
or the general government will have
anything to do with which to usher in the
New Year, as was done when 1913 rolled
in. On the stroke of IL, December 81,
1912. Postmaster General Hitchcock
formally established the parcel post
service by placing the first package in
the mails at the Washington city post
office President Wilson will not give
public reception New Year day. Secre-
taries Bryan. Daniels and Garrison will
hold receptions at their homes.
Not even the new lights on Penn
sylVania avenue will be flashed on at
the stroke Of II. as had been planned.
but 1T is possible that the new double
decked car of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company may begin its
regular trips at midnight next We'd
nesday. AS for illumination, the crowds
which usually promenade PENNSYLVANIA
avenue to celebrate the birth of the
new year will have to get along with
the old arc lights
But the crowds in general do not take
any interest in such celebrations. They
would rather be on the street making
noise with various Instruments, as tin
horns, tin pans. bells, whistles and almost
anything that will make a sound. In
some instances one may see a pajama'd
hgure SUCK It's head out Of window,
oang away several times with some sort
OF hiring piece and then duck in and
go to sleep while others are trying TO
md out who did it and how 1t happened.
Small Chance for Wee Folk.
Those children who can keep awake
long enough may satisfy themselves by
sitting at an open window and listening
to the noise. or going out with Christmas
drums and banging In the new year. Pos
slDly one might make a bigger noise nv
getting down one of mothers best cook
ing utensils and. with a stick out of the
wood Dox, usher in the new year by the
rattle of tin, with joy for himself and ac-
complaining discomfort for others. That
real celebration.
All others fade into obscurty when such
combination as young American and

II the stick is afterward used to fan the

All in all, 1t isn't likely that the usher
Ing In of the year 1914 will differ materi-
any from the welcome to any other year.
unless some new method is found for
making more noise; and that is incon-
ceivable.

Paying Loan Third Time.

I'VE are still paying interest on four
hundred and forty-one millions of ma
tional debt incurred before 1865.
Interest payments already have equal
ed the original loans twice over. Through
continuance of the annual interest pay
ments, which do not reduce the principal.
we are now disc Narging these loans a
third time Americans for the next nifty
years will be paying interest for por-
lions Of the Panama canal, and at that
time will have repaid the original Dor
rowings, but the principal and interest
still will be just much as IL no pay
ments had been made.
improvements of railroad terminals
completed or projected in various cities
are bonded for $1,000 900. The inter
est will be a permanent charge upon
the earnings 1t will press down upon
wages and lift demands for higher
rates Our Industries will repay these
loans over and over again to the chill
dren and the children's children OF the
original lenders"

Points Out Eallacies.

Dean Small pointed out what he de-
scribed as functional fallacies that
radically ignore social efficiency
THE fallacy of treating capital as II
1t were an active agent and of credit
ing income to the personal representa-
tive Of capital, irrespective of their ac-
tual services.
The fallacy of Incorporating the fall
lacious capitalistic principle. thus pro-
noting the legal person to immortality.
The fallacy of system of inherit
ance which assigns the powers and
privileges of incorporated capital TO
sentimentally designated individuals.
This creates hereditary economic sover-
eighty. which must eventually become
more intolerable than the hereditary
political sovereignties overthrown by
revolution"
Man is so constituted that when he
feels the evils of an existing system
he is likely to adopt measures Of re-
form which will produce evils as great
as those he is seeking to remedy" said
David Kinley, president of the asso-
citation. tonight, in an address before
joint session of his organization and
the American Sociological Society.
