INSANITY EXPERTS A FARCE.
Medical Journal Urges Them to Stop
Discrediting the Whole Profession.

From American Medicine.
The contradictions of insanity experts
have been again Haunted to public ridi-
Guile in the Schmidt case. and the wonder
grows that the alienists themselves do
not put stop to a practice which is
discredtinS the whole medical profession
as we'll as themselves. The pity Of it all
is the fact that the hypothetic question
on which an opinion is based may be so
framed as to make it impossible for the
expert to express the true conclusions
of his own examination of the crime. The
alienists on both sides may be in close
accord on essentials. though differing in
details. as all men do. and yet the jury
and public think the two sides are hope
lcssly ireconcilable. The total effect is
the same as though no experts We're called
at all. In this trial a new departure was
made in discrediting some experts by
showing that they had been absolutely
wrong in previous trial. We hope this
will be the rule hereafter. for it will soon
result in restricting such testimony to
those who have never Numbered At
present judges are compelled TO inform
the jury that expert opinions may he
ignored. and that each Juror must use
the accused is insane. This is a sad out
come of all the scientific study devoted to
psychistry, for ii is now practically
thrown out of court. A layman utterly
ignorant of the science is considered to
have more valuable opinion than the en-
pertS who have spent a lifetime in this
special work. In fact, the accuseds life
is in their hands. and they must ignore
one set OF aiienists or the other or both.

Still More Horses.
rom the Cleveland Leader.


That @'horseless age" SO often talked
about as very near and sure, fades back
into the distance when the statistics o.
farm animals in the United States are
given a little consideration. The facts
presented by the latest reports Of the
Department of Agriculture do not point
in that direction.
1t seems that in 1913 the number OF
horses in this country increased by about
$4,000. Their aggregate value rose more
than S13. 100000. Yet in the same year
the scarcity and high cost Of food for
livestock made it more burdensome than
usual to keep horses, and the number of
automobiles used by farmers was ma
terially larger than ever before.
While there was a gain of $4,000 in
horses on farms and ranches. the number
of cattle, including mich cows increased
only 12D.GG0. and there was a loss of
l.I6:.OCU in sheep and 2.24J.OOo in swine.
The effect of the short crops Of corn and
nay was clearly shown in these figures,
but the demand for horses was strong
enough to offset all adverse conditions.
In any survey of the prospects for
draft animals mules ought not to be over
looked. Their number is more than one
fifth as great as that of the horses. and
their average value is higher by about Sl4
a head 1t is a significant fact, for this
reason. that there were $1,000 more mules
at the end of last year than at its be-
ginning.

Philadelphia War Memorial.

FROM Tue Inlduelpnla
Mayor Blankenburgs suggestion that
the city should abandon the plans pro-
jected some years ago for the erection of
a soldiers and sailors monument in
Logan square. and instead should con-
struct a memorial building on the line
of the parkway, ought to appeal to THE
veterans of the Grand Army. OF the sum
originally appropriated fo- the monu-
ment. about $4,000 is left in the city
treasury, $1,000 having been expended
on the publication OF q book dedicated to
the memory of the Philadeiphians who
fought in the civil war. This amount is,
of course too small to permit raising a
shaft or statuaTE group on a scale OF
maeniticence and grandeur commensu-
rate with the momcntcESness of the
event to he perpetuated or which it
ought To have TO make il significant and
worth while in a great city.
At any rate there already exists a
monument of this character in the Smith
memorial arcbway in West fairmount
Park while the proposal for civil war
repository or hall OF archives for the
preservation of relics. records and me-
mentos of the great conflict is more in
accord with the general scope of the
parkway improvement, as we'll as being
feasible and conmendaole from the
practical point of view. With the
addition of an item of 10000 for the
purpose which was inciuued at the
mayors request III the new loan OIL
now pending in councils. making $780,
oao in all it ought to be possible TO erect
a structure which would be at once
ornate and imposing, and which would
be. UNIQUE among the thousands of civil
war memorials throughout the country.

Societies of Playgoers.


The little Tumpus in the stage society.
which has led to the resignation of its
president. directs public attention to the
rapid increase Of clubs and associations
having for their purpose the develop
ment of histrionc art and dramatic
literature. \ few years ago. as We re-
member. there was only a playgoers' club,
the membe.s of which met TO exchange
views on theatrical subjects. Now the
drama league. which aims to make good
plays profitable by encouraging attend
ance at their performances and discussing
their merits. has branches in various
cities and large and influential mem
bership. The drama society is inspired
by a similar purpose. There are other
organizations than the stage society
which secure trial performances Of plays
considered worthy Of popular approval,
and commend others produced in the
regular way to the notice of their MEM
be-s
Presumably all of these societies are
at present made up Of persons who would
be habitual theatergoers without the
influence of the published lists and the
periodical discussions. 1t is not likely
that they have Yet served to increase
the number of pIaygoers. Or that they
have done much. thus far. to spread an
intelligent comprehension Of dramatic
art. Statistics are lacking. also, to in
dictate how IA. the members of the
various organizations are guided in their
theatergoing by the influence of their
play committees. Probably great many
of them go to See nearly all the plays
Of any given season. and continue to
enjoy the privilege Of forming their own
opinions, like the man in the street. -
who. as ever. does not care a rap for
art. but knows what he likes.
1t must be borne in mind, however
that the unregulated playgoer has shown
Il strong liking for comparatively few
plays lately. and it is obvious that the
ministrations of these organizations Of
intelligent playgoers must bear fruit in
time if they are continued with patience
and zeal.

New Yorker Shoots Polar Bear.

From The Wide World Magazine.
The shooting of the first polar bear
was delegated TO Mr.. S. Osgood Pell or
New York. a privilege of no secondary
kind in u party of rather keen sport
ing appeiites 1t was idnight--the
transparent gauze of a half darkness.
sailor called our attention to a blot
Of white moving cautiously toward the
ship, and in a few minutes the un-
graceful bulk of polar bear was
plainly visible, ambling along faster
and faster. When within a hundred
yards he uttered an angry growl and
raced toward us, with the manifest
intention of clearing the Neptune and
her passengers oft the map of the
Arctic. Mr. Pell's first shot hit him in
the shoulder and tumbled him off the
pan" into the water. He attempted
to dive, but rifle after rifle took line
on him and landed four or five shots
before he gave up the fight. We low
cred a small boat. photographed Mr..
Pell and his bear. and brought the first
real trophy proudly aboard.
