CAPABLE COMMITTEE

A recent issue of the New York
Commercial, says:
an every Legislature there ought to
be committee composed of the most
capable members to study the inter-
ests and needs of the people and re-
port measures that would be beneficial
to them. If there had been such a
committee in the New York LegisIa-
ture it is probable that hundreds if
not thousands of employees of great
department store wouldn't now be out
of employment and wondering where
their next meal was to come from"
This subject has been brought to
the attention of the people of Arkan-
sas by Sec. Herndon of the Arkansas
History Commission, who would turn
the work of the Commission temper
arily into Bureau of Information
for the Legislature when it is in ses-
sion. A great deal of valuable time
and money could be saved the people
if the most up to date information of
all subjects at hand could be had when
the laws are made.

A FITTING REJOINDER

The statements of Life on medical
and public health questions are usually
% distorted and radically mislead-
ng that the average reader does not
tke its utterances seriously. The
Boston Herald. however, recently re-
pied to one Of Lies characteristic
hsnuations in words which are worth
quoting. Life said:
The Meanest Crime
The assassin who shoots you in the
hack does cowardly thing. But he
does ii frankly as an enemy, and he
bikes chances of punishment. He
hOws there are legal penalties for
hat kind Of murder.
But when doctor in hospital

isase into a contiding patient-he
does it, not openly as an enemy, but
pretending to be friend. Unlike the
assassin who shoots you in the back,
Be has no fears Of punishment. He is
duby safe, because he selects his vic

helpless.

A FIGHT AHEAD

Present indications are that the de
bate in the u. s. Senate on the Pana-
ma Toll Bill, will be historic. Both
sides will be represented by men who
have won fame by the logic and ora-
tory. The contest may last for sew
eral weeks.
Ranged behind the President will
be Senators Root, Lodge. Owen, Bur
ton and others who rank high as law
yers and statesmen. Opposed to the
President will be Borah. Cummins,
Gallinger, La Toilette, Newlands, o.
German, Poindexter and men of equal
ability. 1t is believed that the con-
flict will be a constant cross-fire and
no speaker will be allowed to make an
argument without interruption.
The debate will likely be on a high
plane and there will be fewer appeals
to partisanship and stronger appeals
will be directed to logic and justice.
The President has let it be under
stood that he does not want any
amendment made to the bill as passed
by the House and the administration
is confident it will have substantial
majority when the roll isc allied.

RADIUM AND CANCER

Much has appeared in the news
papers recently regarding the radium
treatment for cancer. AS showing the
opinions held by scientific men in Eng
land, the London correspondent of The
Journal of American Medical Asso-
cation reports recent discussion on
this subject. At the annual meeting
OF the governors of the Cancer Hos
pital of London, Mr.. Charles Ryall, F.
X. {. S., chairman of the medica
committee, described the present posi-
ton of radium treatment to cancer.
He said that although a great deal
had been written in the lay press of
late concerning radium and the mar
Vicious cures which it had apparently
affected, radium had not come to sup
plant surgery in the treatment of can
Ger, but to aid it. Cancer was a dis
ease which grew from day to day and
eventually reached the incurable stage
and therefore for safety it must be
got rid of as early as possible, and the
quickest and surest means was still
the knife. There were cases, however
in which operation was either inadvis-
able or impossible, and in these, ra-
dunn and the Roentgen rays were re-
sorted to. Radium was the most ac-
tive substance known, and it was
proved that it had definite action on
living cells. In cancer it has been
found to exert a definite action either
by destroying the cancer-cells or by
retardlng or preventing their growth.
The properties of radium were COM
paratively little known, and therefore
radium treatment was in the expert
mental stage in which attempts were
being made to fathom its effects on
disease, especially cancer, to estimate
its dosage, and to classify what cases
were suitable for treatment by it.
That would mean some years of work,
and it would therefore, be well if
silence could be maintained on the
subject for the next two years until
some definite announcement could be
made. A definite pronouncement with
regard to research might be awaited
with confidence, as the radium re-
search work in this country was being
carried on Systematically. There was
an enormous field for research and
treatment among the patients at that
hospital, but the workers were ham
pered by the inadequate quantity of
radium at their disposal and their
inability to procure more owing to its
scarcity and enormous cost.

MONROE DOCTRINE
ENDORSED BY TAFT
Former President Says Landing of
Enemies of Britain in Canada
Would Not Be Violation.
RESULT MIGHT BE, HOWEVER
EfSDrt TO Establish New Form Of
government in Dominion In Case
of victory Would Have
Such an Effect.

-AONTCLAIR n, j.. Now 2S.-The Mon
roe doctrine was strongly indorsed its
relations to the present European war
discussed, and the declaration that inter
ference by the United States in Mexico
and Central American states has had
nothing to do with that doctrine, was
made by former President William How
ard Taft in an address here tonight.
These are some of the salient features OF
his remarks:
The landing of troops in Canada by
enemies of Great. Britain could not con-
stItute a violation of the doctrine, but an
effort to establish a new form of govern
ment in case of victory would.
There is little likelihood Of the policy
being pressed in Argentina, Brazil 'and
Chile These countries are able to pro-
tect themselves. and they are so remote
from the United States that violations of
the doctrine in respect to them would not
he harmful to this country's interests and
safety.
why Not Applied in Mexico.
The doctrine has not been applied in
Mexico because there is nothing in it
which requires the United States to bring
about peace in that country.
"Watchful waiting" Mr. Taft said, was
the term applied to the United States
status, but he went on, I'VE have neither
watched nor waited, but have in fact
most hastily interviewed, and thus find
the present anarchy charged as the log
!cal consequence of our policy"
Mir. Taft found much good to say about
he Monroe doctrine and expressed the
hope that it might not be abandoned.
1t has made for peace for ninety
years" he said why will it not make
for peace in the next 100 years?"
The Case of Canada.
Canada is already furnishing substan-
aal military aid to Great Britain and the
lilies, said Mr.. Taft "she has sent n
oody of 10000 men, well equipped soldiers.
and is preparing more and intending to
send. them. On what theory could we
Justly object to Germany taking counter
measures and carrying the war into a
country which is waging war upon her?
All that the Monroe doctrine would con-
sistcntly require of us would be to in
sist that when the war Is over, IL Ger
many were successful, she could not take
over the territory of Canada and over
throw her government and establish her
own there, or take any oppressive meas
ures which would have a similar effect
But we could not object to her exaeting
an indemnity IL she were the victor"
Mr.. Taft sees little danger of the policy
Il awning this country into trouble with a
European nation soon, at least one reason
being that the present struggle abroad
