Beginning life as the son of country
physician in little town in the Berkshire
Hills of New England and rising to be
the most eminent exponent of medicine
in the United States is the record of DR.
William Henry Welch, who celebrates
his SEVENTEEN birthday today. Doctor
WEIGH has been connected with Johns
Hopkins University for more than b
years, and since 1899 has been pathoogist
to Johns Hopkins Hospital His work in
original research during that time has
been closely woven with progress OF
pathology all over the world The honors
and degrees that have been showered up
on him are enough to weigh him down
He is author of many articles dealing
with medicine and especially with bac
THEOLOGICAL features of surgical operations
Perhaps high over his other accomplish
ments viii stand the fact that it was he
who suggested the appointment of a
government commission which discovered
down in Panama the cause of yellow fever
and by so doing conferred a lasting boon
upon mankind

Senator Hiram Johnson, who was given
such large vote in the Michigan pri
maries last Monday says: Michigan
was the first big popular test 1t should
be remembered, however. in considering
the Michigan verdict that only about
100000 voters appeared at the polls that
day when over 100000 people voted in
the referendum on state wide prohibition
on May /, 1918. Nearly e-half of
lTichigans vote last Monday was cast by
citizens of the city of Detroit (l40,33Sl
and Detroit is far from being represent
alive American city. Radicalism is
strong there and the result of Monday S
baltoting is more the voice of Detroit
radicals than of the people OF Michigan
/ considerable comment has been made on
| the large vote given Gov. Edwards OF
New Jersey as wet Democratic candi
I date and It is heralded by the vets as
an indication of the dissatisfaction OF
1.-The people" with prohibition. Governor
Edwards received considerably less thar
one Quartet of the Democratic votes cast
that day. 1t would hardly be claimed
that the drys would be warranted IL
ichanging liquor krws if they could mus
ter only quarter of the votes. The facti
should have more weight in the discus
sion of the Michigan vote.

TIME FOR BUSINESS CAUTION.

1t is noted in current market re-
ports that a wavering opinion in re-
spect to prices is observable in trade
circles. There is no calamity shrieking
about this, but it serves to call atten-
ton to a prevalent feeling that it
would be well to observe some degree
OF caution in making commitments for
the future. Taken for what it Is worth,
the observation indicates the belief is
spreading that the country has reached
the peak Of high prices. 1t rests upon
some very solid foundations of fact
The growing reluctance of the people
of the country to buy goods at the
prevailing high prices is too obvious
to be ignored. The increase in impor-
tations of commodities is another fac
tor which cannot be left out of the ac-
count, denoting as it does that foreign
made goods are finding their way to
the American market on account of
prices that prevail here.
The processes that are going on, ST.
lently and unobtrusively, should not be
dePlored. They do not portend indus
trial stagnation. Instead of being
hurtful to general prosperity, they will
be helpful to that end The federal
reserve board is using its control over
credit to make economic conditions
get back to normal basis by gradual
degrees. 1t is seeking to keep prices
from taking 4 PERCEPTIONS tumble tC
lower levels. 1t is putting a governor
on the speed of the engine. Specula
ton was driving it along too fast. L
Was going at q rate which threatened
| a general smash. The slowing VI
process is necessary for safety, and il
making it a little harder to get money
| the federal reserve board is taking tn
speculation out of business In fedora
| bank circles there is no wavering opin
ION in respect to prices. The CONSUMING
public has no watering opinion abou
iprices. When the consumers begin t
|sheer cI as they have been doing thi
spring, the spectators may consider tina
il would be better to get to safer grount

The Necessary Qualifications.
burlington Clipper.l

There seems to be feeling in this sec
ton that Babbitt has the required quail
fcations to cope with the problems con-
fronting a Vermont legislature. He is
frequently spoken of as man of good
address, who makes friends and wins
their confidence. That is valuable asset
with a governor. To believe in and favor
a commendable measure is one thing, but
to get it through the Legislature is an
other. Fletcher couldn't get anywhere
1t is said of Rabbit that he has the re-
quirements and ability to win men to his
way of thinking. 1t is an essential of &
Vermont governor to know how to Dc
exactly that thing.
