NO PHYSICIAN AT HAND.
A Child's Life Might Have Been Savet
Had Aid Come Promptly.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A few
de ys ago CHANGED to pass drug store
where crowd had gathered. Thinking
that might be able TO help ] went in
and saw little child lying unconscious
and bleeding to death.
/ saw the child would die II help did
not come soon. SO I called Police Head
quarters and asked them to send an
ambulance at once. Then I asked for
cold cloths and ice and tried my utmost
to check the bleeding, only to find all
air passages clogged and to see the child
die before my eyes. l thereupon asked
several questions and was told that the
accident had happened about twenty
minutes prior to my arrival upon the
scene and that two ambulance calls had
already been sent In.
Just about Ave minutes after the child
had died a polio man came-probabfy In
answer to my ambulance call--and then
came the ambulance and a surgeon. who
of course pronounced the child dend.
Now / wish to make an appeal to hui
mainly through your paper: in the same
street where this accident occurred there
are ten physicians or more. In this city
of New York why can't an individual
seeing an accident go to a private physi-
clans homo and demand that he give
help to dying unfortunates who meet
with an accident? This is not the first
child / have seen die through neglect
in fact left to die while waiting for an
ambulance TO come.
Why do people take a patient TO a
drug store when an accident occurs? To
get nelp. OF course. The majority OF peo-
pie think II patient is brought to a
drug store the doctor or druggist in
charge will Immediately administer frs,
aid treatment Yet / understand tina,
legally druggists are not permitted to
give such help
can tell OF another accident case In
which child was bleeding profusely.
and TO my surprise a doctor came and
looked at the iaceration and went away
saying II was a hospital case; later l
was told the physician did not help boz
cause he thought he wouldn't be paid
for 1t. Can't physicians be made to
help?
Everybody should help to make II a
law or q rule-because we never know
when It may come to our own door-tha,
all physicians must help In case OF an
accident. Then there would be less dan
ger Of other persons bleeding to death
while waiting for an ambulance to come.
Because am sure that II help had got
there sooner I could have saved that
childs life with the assistance OF others.
and am also sure the accident was not
serious enough to cause the child's death.

Changes In Club Life.

Changes predicted In the club life
Of New York as consequence Of

operated to postpone decided action.
OF these the most Important was PROP

UNITED DEMOCRATS
EXPEL MRS. WICHMAN

The United Democratic Club OF Is Bay
Twenty-fifth street, Brooklyn, II was
learned yesterday. expelled Mrs. Minnie
Wichman. former leader of the Demo-
cratic women of the Sixteenth Assem-

received campaign funds from Maxwell
Harris, the Republican candidate for
tie state Senate. and with circulating
literature over her own signature ask
ing voters To support him rather than
Kenneth Sutherland. the Democratic
candidate.
Mrs wichnan was not present when
her expulsion was voted. but witnesses
said she had admitted accepting the
money for campaign purposes. which
was reported to be 500. The reason
given for her activity against suther-
land was that he had deposed her from
the leadership. putting Mrs. Jennie Nc
Mahon In her place. 1t was asserted
that Sutherland was not responsible for
her ousting, but that women members
OF the club had themselves taken the
initiative. being dissatisfied with her
leadership. Sutherland carried both the
sixteenth Assembly, district and the
election district N which Mrs. wichman

Another Count In COmmiss' oner
Enright's Indictment OF the Press.

The disclosure OF the fact that a
man whose appearance tallies with
that of the murderer of LEEDS
VAUGHAN WATERS spent only three
days in Bellevue Hospital while Com
missioner ENEIGHT's detectives were
searching the city for suspects will
undoubtedly pain the Commissioner
when it is brought to his attention.
This individual was suffering from
bruises such as might have been In
flicted in a struggle with the man
who lost his life. He left the hospital
In defiance of the surgeons advice
that he remain there.
If he had stayed In Bellevue a
couple of weeks 1t is fair to believe
that the police might have had time
TO examine the hospital records and
TO inform themselves as to the per-
sons In Bellevue whose condition
might suggest the ACCESSIBILITY Of sub
jecting them to examination.
Commissioner ENRIGHT should pre-
serve this incident for immortlliza-
tion in his next annual report. He
can argue that If the newspapers had
not printed anything about the
Waters murder, the bruised patient
might have stayed in Bellevue until
the detectives got chance TO visit
that great institution.

Financing Our Exports a Task Of
Immediate Concern.

! Bankers and financiers are not the
only passengers on the great Ameri-
can Industrial band wagon whose In
terests call for immediate action to
protect and finance our foreign trade.
| The American Bankers Association In
planning a $1OO,000.000 corporation to
! finance the sale abroad Of our surplus
production is doing rs much TO lessen
the danger of overproduction. unem-
ployment and soup kitchens as II is to
assure an unremitting increment for
the owners of American capital.
A topheavy trade balance of nearly

more than $4,000, 100000 in 1919. and
exceeding $4,000, OO0, 900 in the last
FIVE years presents mighty tempta-
ton to let things glide while we enjoy
the neglected scenery. But in all the
annals of experience no instance will
he found where nations business
was left to glide that 1t did not even
tually plunge into the ditch.
If dehation of prices has occurred
in this country there has been defla-
ton of the currency neither here nor
abroad. The world Is long OF billions
of additional paper counters compared
with the quantity of circulating money
at this time last year. But that half
of humanity which carries around the
greatest load Of this spurious cur
rency is short of the ordinary CON-
forts of life. We may batter prices
down below the pre-war level by
piling our goods in warehouses and
refusing to sell to foreign customers on
credit We may supply our own wants
nd live for time In comfort and
plenty while Europe goes idle and
I hungry.
But this would not he deflation. 1t
would not pay Europe's debt to us.
1t would spur the unfortunate ma
lions to greater efforts to keep from
starving, but ii would throw the COM
merce of the whole world out of joint
and leave our own and foreign trade
to die of dry rot.
To encourage Europe to speed up
her mills and factories and fill In the
gaps In world supply Is one thing. To
loosen the slides of European produc-
tion and allow them to rush uncon-
trolled down the mountainside. put
ting us In danger of an avalanche of
European goods swapping our mar
kets and overwhelming our prosperity

THE SOUTH,S PROBLEM.
II Would Have Gone Republican Had
n Not Feared Black Domination.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: II the
South could have voted Its convictions
without by so doing submitting itse
TO negro control at home IT Is SAL
guess that instead of receiving 127 cleo
torai votes Mr.. Cox would have received
none al all.
From the point of view OF the white
Southern business man the Republican
organization in his part OF the country
is kept alive from one Presidential cam
paign to another merely to supply pawns
for use at national conventions. and
while he realizes that the Republican
party as a whole more nearly represents
his interests on questions like the tariff.
taxation and the efficient administration
Of government than does the Democratic
party. he cannot see himself voting with
local organization wholly or In part
controlled by the negro.
When a Republican leader comes to the
top who Is big enough and powerful
enough to guarantee to the white voter
of the South that the Republican party
can and will be made a white mans
party In the South the Solid South VIII
become memory. 1t is not contended
that conditions will ever again be right
for one candidate to carry every State In
the Union. but this is one year 1t could
have worked out that way.
The way to keep political parties sound
and efficient is to discipline them, and a
section Of the country that permits a
rarty to know year after year far In
advance how II will vote cheapens itself
with that party. Oklahoma has just
handed its Democratic machine proper
trimming, and II the Republican party
starts now to reorganize its Southern
wing, doing a thorough job. by 1924 1t
will find the entire South voting its SEN
timents instead Of its prejudices; but the
South will not give up fts white Demo-
cratic party, with all It's deficiencies. for
a colored Republican party.
