Some Aspects ofNewman Endorsements.

The action of those associations of citizens who
have indorsed the administration of District Com
missioner Newman is perfectly proper and praise
worthy so far as it relates to Mr.. Newmans past
conduct of the affairs of the District government
Mr. Newman's acts not subj ected to criticism,
his ability was questioned in the action at
law which terminated in writ of custer in obedience
to jury's verdict that he not resident of the
District of Columbia when appointed and hence not
qualified under the law to hold the office. Indorse
ment of his administration by organizations Of cit
zens therefore will protest; in many quar-
tiers it will meet with approval
Unfortunately however, in one case at least reso-
lutions indorsing Mr.. Newman have included re-
buke to the activities of the District Home Rule
Committee in seeking to bring about REIMBURSEMENT
of his office, result which the court sought to
complish by writ of custer.
Legal opinions have been rendered supported by
competent authorities that the effect of the writ Of
custer is to vacate the Office to which Mr.. Newman
appointed and to render unlawful any subsequent
pretended official act of his. Many lawyers and busi-
ness men of Washington believe that Mr.. Newman's
continued "usurpation" of Office is menace to the
Districts interests; that any ruling of his may be
made the basis of legal action in the future; that in
fact chaos in District governmental affairs is being
deliberately invited.
The Home Rule Committee must at least be given
credit for being actuated in part by desire to
such an alarming possibility. Besides few, even of
Mr.. Newman's friends will deny that the intent of
the law was violated when Mr.. Newman was ap-
pointed So long the law exists it should be en-
forced. If its provision that the two civilian Com
missoners must be residents of the District operates
injuriously to the communys interests it should be
repealed.
The Home Rule Committees efforts to secure en-
forcement of the law therefore, do not merit rebue
in connection with an indorsement of Mr.. New
1t will be observed that the citizens who extend
him their Endorsement make no demand that he be
permitted to continue in Office do they express
approval dsapproval of the jurys verdict further
reason why criticism of the Home Rule Committee
seems out of place.
There may be difference of opinion as to whether
Mr. Newman should continue to hold Office but there
be little doubt that great majority of the people
considering all the aspects of the case and parcu-
lary the necessity of maintaining legally constituted
District government believe he should relinquish it
Then doubtless, all our organizations of citizens
could unite in indorsing his past administration

KNrFE TOO FREELY USED.


DR.. Charles Mayo and DR.. John B.
Deaver. surgeons Of note. are authority
for the statement that too many surgical
operations are performed without sum
cisnt cause. This definite statement un-
doubtediy viii strengthen in the minds
Of many persons any existing suspicion
that the surgeon often needs an opera
ton more urgently than the patient. who
is forced TO pay fee as well as take
AL the chances In the game.
No one Of ordinary intelligence denies
that there has been great progress in
surgery. We fear. however. that the
cost Of up-to-date plants and appurte-
nances has been provocative of spirit
which seeks for excuses to use the knife
rather than to avoid that extreme.
When Americans follow the example
Of the Chinese and pay their physicians
to keep them well rather than to cure
their ailments, the last temptation to
use the surgeons knife without cause
will be removed.-Cincinnati Commercial

For the first time in the history of the United
States it has awarded contract for public construc-
ton to Chinese firm, which is to erect part of the
army hospital at Fort Shafter Hawaii. While we
have been giving a great many manufacturing con-
tracts to foreign in the past year. the pres
ent is likely to bring protests from the labor
interests because Chinese are prohibited from COM
petition with American labor in this country by the
Chinese exclusion law. 1t may be- too that Japans
interest will be aroused if any new construction of
an exclusion law is involved
