Under the subject, treatment Of
Progressive Cases OF tuberculosis"
Or. Mary e. Layham, Of Highlands. N.
c., before the Clinical Section OF the
National Association declared that the
future treatment Of pulmonary tubercu-
losis In its advanced forms must be
surgical rather than medical.
There are two well defined. dis
tinet classes Of pulmonary tlfbercu-
losis," said DR.. Lapham. "They are
those that recover and those that
from the very start manifest an in
ability to arrest the disease. These
progressive cases may improve but
they cannot hold what they gain. AS
soon as this Is recognized, the futility
and danger Of depending alone on good
nursing, fresh air. and rest must be
admitted and surgical aid must be en-
ployed.
This surgical assistance to the more
lungs more complete rest, drives blood
from tho engorged blood vessels, and
keeps the lungs from expanding and
saves them from pulling and tugging
Of respiration. 1t collapses the lungs
or forces them up together: expels its
poisonous purulsnt contents; keeps the
lungs clean and dry; and makes the
growth Of the tubercle baoilli in the
sputum disappear in many cases aftel
surgical treatment. Thus the danger ot
injecting others during recovery is re-
moved. When case Of pulmonary
tuberculosis belongs to the progressive
type, 1t may cost the life of the patien
to persist In medical treatment alone
Surgery should be tried before 1t 10 toe

THE sIa lnrEREsrs
A strong and influent

A strong and Influential supporter
OF Governor Johnson's administration
has written the Press, alleging that we
have done an Injustice to the admins
tration in stating that 1t Is working on
the Roosevelt theory that trusts should
be regulated and not suppressed. Ths
letter says that while the State ad-
ministration does favor control Of cor
porations in possession OF natural mo-
nOpolies II has not disturbed the State
laws against commercial and industrial
trusts.
This Is distinction that probably
should be recognized, and 1t IL to be
conceded that the administration has
done nothing to annul such laws as that
against conspiracy In restraint Of trade.
But what criticism the Press has d.
rected at the State administration has
had in sight the fundamental theory OF
democracy, self government for the
people, In accordance with laws formu-
lated by the people or their represen-
tat'ves.
In place Of this, the theory fs now
advanced Of government by bureaus
or commissions, not through general
laws, but according to the commits
sioners' concept of expediency.
So long ago as Moses time the law
was laid down upon given principles
of right and justice tc which men were
expected to conform. From that day TO
This. through the civilization Of Rome,
Greece, Europe and America, where
ever there has been human liberty.
there has run this same principle OF
definite, but general, legal provision.
10 which all should conform.
Wherever the opinion Of the law has
been substituted for general laws there
has been despotism.
To say that one man can follow a
commercial life and another cannot IS
despotic.
For California to lay down general
laws decreeing under what conditions
one telephone company could or could
not invade a field already occupied
might be legitimate subject for legis-
iation. But to appoint a commission to
decide outside the law when a rlval
company can or can not enter into
competition is an act OF despotic char
acter and one which does the utmost
violence TO the theory Of popular gov
eminent and 1t is dangerous, for Il
such arbitrary super-legal procedure

despotism under the name of commits.

1t may be true that the present ad-
ministration seeks only to apply thi!
theory to natural monopolies. but it {.
theory equally applicable to othel
lines of activity, and II the theory /!
once accepted there is no telling wha
the next administration will demand.
