graduate course in auto-hemic therapy

trical apparatus for special treatment
Of blood diseases, such as dropsy,

provide his patients witR the most
modern methods of medical science.
Any person wishing to consult him
on these new treatments, may do SO,

treatment by electricity in many cases
where surgical operations have here
tofore been the only cure. Several Of
his patients are relieved from chronic
complaints and speak in praise of the
new treatment.

Teachers Retirement.

Passage by the Senate of the teach
ers' retirement bill as result of the
vigilance and tactfuiness of Senator
Hollis, whose championship of this meas
ure has been unfagging, puts it in the
way OF early enactment through concur
renee by the House. This bill is one of
the most worthy on the congressional
calendar. It is aimed at the improve
ment Of the public school system
through the retirement Of superan-
nuated teachers. It has q particular
merit at present, for its enactment Will
serve to keep in the schools teachers
who are now tempted to leave on ac-
count of the poor pay and hard condi-
tions for other and better paid employ
ments. Retirement of the teachers is
a constructive measure. It is economical
in that it makes for better school work.
It. is just, for it affords retirement on
q. competence of teachers who have
1abored in the public interest long and
faithfully, to the sacrifice of many op-
portunities for betterment. It has been
pending for a long time, and its early
consideration by the House, in view Of
the Senate's action, should now be as
sured by the peculiar conditions pre-
vailing in the District, which call for
early remedy.

he has found il true, that administering
the affairs Of q great city il ~ difficult
as administering the affairs Of some
states; and after q brief experience he
is forced to take vacation.
He will probably shake down after
awhile. He has been on the bench; and
the change from judicial to an execu-
tive place is trying on patience and the
nerves. But he must strive to meet the
exactions of the executive place, and
especially if Mayor Hylan is to de-
velop into Gov. .Hylan. Such develop
ment is suggested by his friends.
And yet, exacting as executive places
are, men seek them. The most exacting
of them-the presidency-possesses the
strongest lure of all. No man has ever
entered upon the duties of that place
without a pretty fair idea of what
awaited him. Some, from observation in
filling other places close by, have had
clearer knowledge than others. But
none has been in ignorance of the true
situation. All have been eager to ac-
cept the worry inseparable from the
honor.
And vet, great as that worry is, it
has never killed a man. or tempted one
to resign It did not kill William Henry
Harrison, or Zachary Taylor, or Abra-
ham Lincoln, or James A. Garfield, or
William Mckinley, all of whom died in
the place. Mr.. Lincoln's worries were
numerous, protracted, and pathetic, but
they lid not break him down. Cen
Garfeld's experience was brief, was ex-
ceedingly taxing. A factional storm
ragged the whole time he was in the

paigner. and was riding it out when
violence overlook him. Mr.. Mckinley
had trials, including small war, but
had proved equal to them.
Mr.. Wilson has been, and still is,
bearing much. But he does not COM

to the burden, and does not shrink from

Labor and War.

In the present crisis of our affairs
every man who works with his hands is
a soldier for American victory. Every
artisan is enrolled IN the war in his
own particular field of production. Par
ticularly those who are at work in the
construction Of ships are contributing
to the American war strength. It is,
therefore, most disquieting to hear that
in some Of the trades the disposition
prevails to limit the daily output-to
reduce, for example, the number Of
rivets driven in shipbuilding. It is hard
to conceive that loyal Americans, what
ever their trade or line of activity, should
at this juncture deliberately slacken in
their work in way that will inevitably
prolong the war and render the Ameri-
can cause precarious. Yet the reports
Of such procedure are specific and ap-
parently authentic.
The most urgent need today in this
country is ships. They are required not
only to carry over the fighting men, but
their supplies and ammunition. Every
day lost in the fabrication of trans
port, or cargo boat, is a day added to
the wars endurance. It is contribu-
tion to the enemy's strength. The man
who deliberately cuts down his days
total Of rivets is in effect arming our
foes who are facing our men in France,
just as though they were putting guns
and cartridges into their hands.
Members Of the trades organizations
owe it to themselves to repudiate these
charges Of Indifference to the national
welfare; and this obligation is being
recognized and in part vigorously met by
American labor leaders. Every tendency
to lower the days output Of labor and
product should be sharply resisted by
the leaders and members of the unions
and all groups Of workingmen. A very
large percentage of these men have rel
atives in the Army, some in France, and
some here, and some on their way. The
mcst personal consideration should con-
tinue to spur them to the utmost en-
deayor to make the output Of every
mill and factory and shipyard as great
as possible.

The Navy.

These words were spoken last night
by. Secretary Daniels at the rooms of
the National Press Club:
@The American Navy has within q
very short time grown from COM
paratively small number of men and a
place of comparative inconsequence
until now it has more than 100000 in
the service It is but a question of n
little longer, with the aid OF Henry Ford
and others like him. until it will take
its position as the Incompatible and I'M
conquerable Navy in the world"
Consider an interesting combination.
~ The speaker knew his subject
thoroughly. The progress he mentioned
has been made under his official super
vision. He has been at the head of the
Navy Department nearly five years. He
has not escaped criticism, but at present
not word of criticism, but only praise,
is heard from informed sources of the
condition of the Navy and its perform
ances. The best judgment is that the
Navy is in fettle, and steering for the
goal the Secretary describes.
(2) The words were spoken at place
and under auspices insuriAg them the
most liberal circulation. The great ma
jori.y of those present are trained OBJ
servers and chroniclers of public affairs
here in Washington. They are especially
alert and interested now. The war, in
all of its paramount significance, is the
theme OF their daily discourses in the
widely scattered and read newspapers
they represent. They were certain not
to miss the value of such a deliverance
/. from such source. Secretary Daniels;
it may be remarked in passing, is a
newspaper man himself, knows news,
and how to distribute it.
(3l The people have always admired
and trusted the Navy. Even those who
at times have opposed a large Army
have either not extended their warn
ings to the Navy, or else have tempered
them with observations pointing out the
difference as they saw 1t between the
land service and the sea service respect
ing the safety Of the country. Just now
the Navy's work is tremendously i'm
portant The battles in which our Army
is to participate viii be fought three
thousand miles from home; and those
miles are miles Of water. They must be
negotiated under the protection Of the
Navy, and against sea activities new in
this age.
On every account, therefore, last
nights deiverance carries weight and
consequence. The speaker, the audience
and the subject were happily united.
The assurance given is welcome, not
only as respects present but future needs.
The country wants, and should have, aan
Incompatible and unconquerable Navy"
None other will meet our duty to our
selves in the new times now passing,
and in the new times to follow.
