CONTRARY to the popular notion,
~ every graduate of medical school
who obtains license to practice his pro-
fession is legally and educationally quail
flied TO do surgery. There is no special
course of training required by law In or
der to practice surgery. The general med
ical school course fits man for medical
and surgical work. However. 1t is Gus
tomary to spend some additional time In
postgraduate work If the physician
wishes to establish himself in surgery
customary, but by no means essential.
Now 1t is unfortunate for the public
that the view prevails that because
man can operate. he necessarily knows
more about the diagnosis and treatment
OF disease than another man who does not
operate. We say unfortunate for this rea-
son: There are surgeons and near-suT-
geons. Surgeons fully realize their own
shortcomings In diagnosis and therapeu-
tics or treatment. Near-surgeons eagerly
avail themselves of the peoples credulity
and attempt TO play the role of all-around
specialists, to assume ponderous air of
wisdom, and to operate on slight preteXt
or none at all-since people do delight in
having an operation" The real surgeon
who realizes his limitations, seeks the
counsel of the family physician. who has
had exceptional opportunities to observe
and study the patient; he summons to his
aid the laboratory expert, the competent
specialist in this or that limited field, the
X-ray expert. He weighs all the evidence.
He divides the responsibilities with the
family doctor or other cOnsultants. If the
verdict is operate, he operates. II the
majority opinion oyer-rides his own, he
waits.
Your near-surgeon prefers not TO be
bothered by the family doctOr-he likes
the patient to come without the family
Doctors sanction or knowledge. He al
ways operates, early and often. No mat

In the telegram, the president was
urged to prevent the withdrawal. IT
was alleged that the bankers, mer,

WEBSTER'S REJoINDER

To disprOve what ! said about
Blaine 5 testimony for free trade, Mr..
ID. Webster quotes that statment in
part as follows: "While admitting the
general correctness of tine free traders
statements as to the prosperous condi-
ton of the country" etc. Now if the
reader will read the glowing claims
that are here admitted by Blaine he
will see that there was rip-roaring
prosperity under free trade. Then if
he will read little further he will get
this: "ln the decade between 1850 and
1860 the wealth of the south had in
creased three billion dollars. This
from increased cultivation of land, the
extension of railways, and all the aids
and appliances of vast agricultural en-.
terprises. Commercial and manufactur-
ing ventures had proved extremely prof
liable. There never was community
on the face of the globe whose condi
tion so little justified revolution as
that of the slave states in lS60' Now
don t forget, this was under free trade,
and ii is Blaine speaking.
Let it also be noted that in 1856,
after the ten years of free trade, no
political party proposed a departure
from the free trade system. And in
1860, after fourteen years of free trade,
according to Blaine, the tariff was no
where an issue outside C5 Pennsylva-
ma-was "not even mentioned a
mong the masses of republicans who
supported Lincoln.
Pennsylvania was democratic, had
been so for 80 years. The slavery is
sue was weak in that state, so the re-
publicans made political bid with "A
! tariff sop. 1t caught the state, and
this was the beginning Of tAe party S
championship of this phase of special
privilege and public plunder. No.
Brother Webster, it was not an acci-
dent that ! quoted Blaine. And ]
would call attention to an other of his
concessions: 'The panic of 1878, and
the depression which lasted until 1879
undoubtedly occurred after protect
i've tariff had been for long time in
operation. We also recall Roose-
welt S panic of 1907, when even the
banks would not do business in the
normal way. This also was under a
protective high tariff. So, if, as
Hughes predicts, we have panic at
the close of the big war, it will not be
departure from the habit that pre-
walls under republican tariffs.-L. D.
