Thousands of persons to whom the
name Of DIR. WILLIAM OsLER of the
Johns Hopkins University at Balti-
more was previously unknown sud-
denly became aware that he was the
foremost teacher Of medicine in Amer
lea when some years ago the news
papers published far and wide a ia
nous speech of his in which he jo-
cosely declared that a man wasn't
worth much after he got to be 40. OF
course DR.. OsLER did not mean this
seriously; but the declaration will
long be remembered among the note
worthy sayings of great men.
The incident is recalled now be-
cause Sir WILLIAM OsLER's innumer-
able friends and admirers In this coun-
try and abroad have been celebrating
his SEVENTEEN birthday, July II,
which finds him as brilliant and use
full as he ever has been. -
Although he is an English baronet
and the Regius Professor Of Medicine
at Oxford University, WILLIAM OsLER
will always be known as an American
doctor. A Canadian by birth, he be-
gan his professional career In Can
ada; but for twenty years Of his life,
from 1884 to 1904, he taught and prac-
tised medicine in the United States,
first in Philadelphia and subsequently
in Baltimore, where he was conspicu-
Gus in the small group of great teach
ers who rapidly built up Johns Hop
kins into one of the most famous seats
of learning in the land. His medical
clinic there was the first of the kind
to be established In this country; and
his reputation as a consultant kept
pace with his constantly growing dis
tinction as a teacher and author; so
that when he left us he had come to
be an acknowledged leader among
American physicians.
The birthday tribute presented to
him by his professional friends in Eng
land and America consists of two vol
umes of essays written by represen-
tative men of both countries, COM
prising no less than $50 physicians,
surgeons, psychologists, Psychologists
and historians of medicine. Sir WILL
IAN OsLER is himself the master of
most graceful literary style, so the
gift Is peculiarly appropriate. In
1899 in an address entitled after
Twenty-Five Years" he said:
"As to method OF work. I have n
single bit Of advice which give
with the earnest conviction OF its
paramount influence in any success
which may have attended my efforts
in life: Take no thought for the
morrow. Live neither in the past nor
in the future. but let each days work
absorb your entire energies and sat
isfy your widest ambition"
Sir WILLIAM OsLER repeated this
idea at the farewell dinner to him
here In New York In 1904, adding that
he had also tried to observe the
Golden Rule and preserve such a
measure of equanimity rs would en-
able him to bear success humbly and
grief and sorrow with the courage
which should beflt a man. These are
doubtless the elements which have
preserved in him the Grecian spirit,
"a mind all young" at 20.

Too Much Wheat.

Because THE SUN has been at vari-
ance with the policy of Mr.. WILSON'S
Grain Administration we have aimed
to give particular publicity to all ex-
plantations by and in behalf of the
Wheat Director, as a matter of fair
ness to him as well as of enlighten-
ment to the public. We have striven
to discuss the whole subject with due
regard to his views no less than to
the economic laws and principles In
volved, the hard, cold facts of the
wheat supply the world over and the
duty owed by us and, as we see 1t,
owed by Mr.. WILSON'S Administra-
ton to the American people.
And now, after all that has gone
before in this extraordinary Govern
ment experiment Of forcing American
consumers to pay famine prices for
their bread amid a national glut of
wheat, We state, In the simplest form,
three astounding developments of the
last thirty-six hours:
One: BRooMHALL, the great Liver
pool authority on wheat, announces
the whole worlds import demand at
some 7OO,OOO,0OO bushels.
Two: Mr.. BARNES, our Wheat d.
rector, Immediately after his warning
that our harvest shrinkage in July,
indicating our crop at 940,O0O,OO0
bushels, might endanger the worlds
supply Of bread-right on the heels
Of that alarum, urges the American
people to eat more bread!
Three: Mr.. BARNES gives us the
startling information-in this situa-
ton the all important information for
wheat consumers everywhere on the
face of the earth--that our per capita
consumption of -four has fallen more
than 25 per cent. below the average
before the warl
Now, then: Our own requirement
on the old basis of home consumption
has been calculated throughout this
discussion at 600,000,OO0 bushels. If
Mr.. BAREEs's announcement of our
decreased per capita consumption is
a fact, and If 1t continues to be a
fact; If because of the Grain Admin
lstratlon's decree of famine prices, or
for whatever reason, American con-
sumers now refuse to eat their nor
NAL quantity of bread; If they will
use only three pounds Of -four where,
before the Wilson high living cost,
they used four pounds-if that is so
beyond question, then we may not
take 600, 900, 900 bushels for our home
consumption we may take only 450.-
100000 to 500,O00,OOO bushels.
And If that should prove to be so
full half Of our indicated wheat
crop at 94o,000,O00 bushels, despite
the July loss. might be left as surplus.
We might have In this country an
oversupply hunting foreign buyers
not of some 34O,OOo.000 bushels, as
seemed likely few days ago. but of
44O, 0OO, 900 bushels, possibly of nearly
half a billion bushels
The whole worlds import demand,
as seen, is estimated at 700,00OOO0
bushels. Canada can sell every
bushel of her surplus supply to Great
Britain and will so sell 1t. Last year
1t was about 90,OOOOOO bushels; mini
mum estimates this year are 10000
600. Australia, with 150,OOO,O00 on
hand right now, can sell every bushel
of hers in the same quarter, In the
Levant and In the Orient Argentina,
with at least zoo. 100000 bushels, must
sell hers somewhere for something. II
