st. LIKES EOsnital

Many questions have been asked
about st. Luke's Hospital, Toxic, be-
cause of some misstatments publish
ed concerning the management of
this Hospital A letter over ~. Ru-
dolph Teusler's signature gives so, &
information in answer to these quer-
les.
AS to rate of charge. One of the
best private rooms in the hospital
costs $500 per day No one has ever
paid more for like accommodation
There is no hospital in Japan that
cost $4,00O,0O0. ST. Luke's cost "a
bout SO, 900. And it was built al
most entirely out of the proceeds of
the private practice of DR.. Teusler
and the American doctor who has
been associated with him several
years
The American Government makes
use of st. Auke's for its officers or
others for whom il is Responsible .riy
often In such cases the Government
pays all charges, which are made at
the regular rate, and the Govern
ment has never turned down a bill.
No foreigner has ever been turn
ed away from ST. Luke's for any
cause. Eeach year many foreigners
are treated as charity patients Pay
ments in advance are never demand
ed of patients in st. Luke's Hospital
Japanese who have the means are
never treated free. They are ex-
pected to pay and pay gladly. AS an
indication that well-to-do japanese
are not seeking to get something for
nothing. the Emperor himself has
given $4,000 for new buildings. and
Count Okuma and others have given
$4,000, for the same purpose.
These facts are copied from DR..
Teusler's letter dated June 9Th, 1916.
The Hospital has nothing to conceal.
This parish has sent gifts to it, and
it is right that they should ask ques-
tions and have them answered.

WHY CHANGE GOVERNORS?
Governor Harris: Confederate Sol
der; Jurist; Christian Gentle
man; Statesman.
Shall We DiShonor Such a
Man, a Man Who Has
Done His Duty, By Fail
ing to Reflect Him?

Your Governor, the Governor OF
every man, woman and child in
Georgia, is on trial and stands before
the people of state that he has loved
and served for half century. He
asks that they re-elect him to the
office Of Governor, one which for a
year now he has held honestly, fear
lessly and conscientiously; asks them
only to do for him what Democratic
precedent has made a custom in
GeOrgia-to give to every Governor
four years and which is now advo-
Gated by the majority of the candi-
dates running.
Will you reject a man whose ex-
perience and ability as an able jurist,
and whose long and valuable service
In the legislature amply qualify him
for the position?
Is it wise to substitute now an in.
experienced man, one who has never
been tried as Governor, for one who
has consistently devoted every day
for over a year to the position?
Can you afford to neglect a man
who has carried on a splendid bust
ness administration, and who, for the
first time in history, had thorough
audit made of the states books, thus
establishing a precedent for efficient
management of the states funds?
Can you conscientiously dispense
with the services of a man whose
work on the Western & Atlantic Rail
road Commission makes him best
able to handle the present crisis that
has arisen with respect to this, the
states greatest asset?
Can you afford to help defeat a
man who has thus far successfully
fought the L.. & Ms efforts to destroy
the w. & A R. R. property? Don't
be deceived about the opposition to
your Governor.
Can you deliberately hurt the man
who established the Georgia School
of Technology and is still Chairman of
the Board of Trustees; who is a Trustee
of the University of Georgia (his alma
mater) and of the Wesleyan Female
College, and has always been a leader
in Georgia's educational progress?
Can you reflect on man who has
paid the school teachers of the state
promptly and is doing so now for the
first time in the history of Georgia,
a Governor who has fought more for
