THE DOCTOR QUESTION.

Fl. Dodge Chronicle: The recent
death of Hon. Charles w. Miller, of
the Waverly Democrat, for many
years representative of Bremen coun-
ty in the lower house of the Iowa
legislature, recalls an activity for
which he was especially notable-a
crusade during his political life
against what he was pleased to term
the Medical Trust"
The Chronicle is especially indul-
gent toward the medical profession

in all of its various forms and meth.
DDS of healing. While it must con.
cede a certain narrowness in all Of
the schools toward the merits Of 9th.
er schools, and realizes how much
better it would be if the virtues OF
all could be epitomized in one broad
and comprehensive system, it is
without doubt that principles of dis
tinguished merit underlie the prac-
tice of medicine in all of it's forms
and that very generally it's practi-
TONERS are men of cultivation, cour-
age and benevolence. ~
Charlie Miller singled out the
regular" school for chastisement
and by attacking certain abuses of
professionalism brought himself
more or less into the lime light and
the disciples of allopathy more or less
into ridicule by the vigor and keen
ness of his activities in the legisla-
ture and in certain prOpagandas
aiming to have a national scope. We
have never been able to tell just
how far a sort of natural cynicism
introduced him into this line Of
work, but his good nature was con-
stantly shown when he seemed to be
most earnest and meanness in any
form was as far from him as the po-
lar star. Being a man of broad SYM
pathies perhaps it was desire to
fight the battles of the underdog, or
what he thought was the under dog,
in the controversies of the schools.
Miller's newspaper contemporaries
INDUCED in some railery when this
champion Of the anti-drug, anti
knife treatment of disease found
himself at length attacked by dan
gerous ailment from which hope
only lay in surgical treatment, and
resorted to the help of surgeons to
prolong his life. But this is frail-
ty common to all. When we are well
it is easy to assail the physician and
point out his shortcomings, but
when comes the dire tug and the
mind hopes on under the strain and
agony of physical extremity, who is
more welcome than the minister of
healing, who brings cheer and en-
couragement even when he knows
that the best he can do is to prolong
rather than heal or cure?
In these contingencies and in all
the lesser ones even the look of the
good doctor helps, and it is good to
know that he helped Charley Miller
when the shades Of night were fall
ling upon that active and well-spent
life.

An old chap the other day, look
ing for some reason for the contin-
ued wet weather, observed that it
was probably due to the fierce war
in Europe-the explosion of SO

The Office does sometimes seek the
man. Here in Webster City at the
election Monday three men were
elected to the council to serve under
the new manager plan, not one OF
whom asked voters for support. Real
ly it required much urging on the
part of many voters to induce these
men to permit the use of their names
as candidates. Although they had
active opposition at the polls each
and every one was elected by better
than a two to one vote.
The Freeman-Tribune wants to
commend the attitude Of President
Wilson toward hazing at the nation
al military schools. The president
has vigorously disapproved of the
practice and denounces it in scath-
ing terms. 1t is a relic of barbar-
ism and ought to be cut out. It is
of enough Importance that state leg
islatures ought to take notice of it
and legislate against it in schools
and supported by the
state. There has been disgraceful
hazing proceedings at the state uni
versity at Iowa City and at the agri-
cultural college at Ames. The facul-
ties of these schools have protested
in the matter, thus ad-
vertising their inability to discipline
the pupils. Hazing has in years
agone been regarded as a legitimate
pastime by the bully element of
colleges, but that time has passed.
When Roosevelt was president he
took occasion to call down the haz-
ers at Annapolis and he called them
down in his usual vigorous style. No.
body would think of Teddy as a
sissy or mollycoddle and everybody
knows that he is a friend of every
legitimate sport, but hazing looked
to him like the strong imposing up

There is no fool like an old fool is
an old saying, and Woodrow Wilson
is doing his share to prove it's truth
fulness. He is acting over his love
affair, the same as any callow youth
might act and such big newspa-
pers as the Chicago Tribune are de-
voting a lot of valuable space re-
counting the silly things Woodrow
and the widow are doing, and they
are paying large sums in Geographic
tolls for the stuff. It was announc-
ed under glazing headlines in the
papers that the president and his
bride-to-be attended church services
together and that both used the
same hymn book. How remarkable!
That sort of thing has been going on
for centuries, but it is not often that
newspapers are idiotic enough to
pay two or three cents a word for it.
Then Woodrow has had a private
telephone, so the silly old Tribune
declares soberly, put in from the
white house to the home of Mrs.
Gait, that the two may talk
to each other whenever the silly
moods are on, which is almost con-
tinuous. Geo. Dewey made a fool of
over a widow when he was
old enough to know better, and
thereby lost lot Of the respect the
American people had for him, and
now Woodrow Wilson seems to be
following in Dewey's footsteps.

If there is anything Senator Chase

boldly plunged into the water after
his prey, but the fish was too quick

KAISER VISITS IN Vienna
Determined to See Emperor Francis
Joseph When Negotiations
With Italy Failed.

Geneva, April 15.-Information has
reached Geneva tending to confirm
the reports that Emperor William paid
4 visit late last month to Emperor
Francis Joseph.
According to this information En-
peror William hastily determined to
visit Emperor Francis Joseph upon
receiving from Prince Won Buelow,
German ambassador to Italy, mes
sage to the effect that negotiations
between Austria and Italy concerning
territorial concessions by Austria as
the price of 1taly's neutrality had
failed.
Emperor William at once ordered
that his special train be prepared and,
accompanied by two officers, set forth
for Vienna, travelling incognito, by
way of Munich.
The train was stopped near the
castle al Schoenbrun, on the outskirts
Of Vienna, to which Emperor William
went by motor car.
With Francis Joseph were Baron
Won Buruian, Austro-H Hungarian for
eign minister, and Count Tisza, the
Hungarian premier.
Emperor William is said to have con-
versed with them for three hours. He
then returned to his waiting train and
hurried back to Germany.
