WOMAN DOCTORS HAVE INCREASED
 REPORTS SHOW

Philadelphia, Aug. 6.---Unusua!ly heavy registration Of students for the fall term at the Women'S Medca1 College of Pennsylvania denotes the marked effect the war has had in in creasing the number of women doc tors, according to Dr. Francis c. Van Gasken, professor of clinical med1- cine, who said yesterday.
 Tn spite of the registration Of Wo- men fin colleges which five years ago would have turned in horror from the thought of medical coeducation, the applications for admission to the Wo- mans Medical College have advanced this year by leaps and bounds. It is g. most interesting development of war conditions which forced hitherto con- servative institutions to accept wo- men internes and residents.

i appears from the alleged record pub
llshed by the Tribune that | have op-
posed the expenditure of some twenty
five million dollars of the taxpayers
money. Is it the intention of this
sheet TO criticize me for this?
Il am constrained to suggest that II
the editor of the Tribune will apply
his magnifying glass and search ex-
Governor Longino's record while he was
a member of the state legislature, he
will probably find a large number OF
appropriation bills for which the ex-
governor did not vote, and likewise he
might, p~erchance, find some piece of
constructive legislation of which the ex-
governor was the author and this might
give him something to really write
about. I would further say that In Wild
est moments Of extravaganza II never
occurred to me as a legislator to seek
to impose a liability upon the state or
any county In favor Of the families Of
lynched negroes. This e~xtravaoant sug-
aestlon on the part OF the ex-governor
would have cost the state of Mississippi
something like four million dollars up
to the present time had the legislature
followed his recommendation.
This last effort of the Tribune is
as puerile as was their effort to prove
that | was not in favor of the enforce
ment Of the prohibition laws, merely
because | happened to have been alb
sent on the occasion Of the passage of
the bone dry law, which bill, by the
way, was passed at night when there
were fifty men absent and when the
bill was called up out OF its order and
the rules suspended by a t~wo-thirds
vote in order that 1t might be consid-
cred. There vas virtually 40 opposi-
ton to the bill and for this reason 1t
was not made a special order, and no
notice given to the members of the
legislature as to when 1t would be
called. II my failure to be present Whan
the vote was taken conVicts me Of be-
ing opposed to prohibition, what might
be said Of the fact that during his en-.
tire term as governor when there were
open saloons In Mississippi and when
the liquor question was a live question,
X Governor Lonuino never referred to
the prohibition question, either In his
inaugural address to the legislature of
1900, nor In his general message Of
1902, nor In his fiGal message Of 1904.
In these messages he talked about en-
forcement Of criminal laws, suppress
ing mobs, and preventing lynchings.
Why then did not occur to him that the
best method of preventing lawlessness
would have been to recommend the
closing Of the open saloon, with which
Mississippi a infested during the four
years of his administration
