UNIVERSAL MEDICAL TESTS.

Members OF the national board of
medical examiners in session recently
considered. among other things, plans
Tor the establishment of a single quail
~fication examination for medical prac-
.tice. 1t is The intention that appli-
cants passing this examination will be
admitted to the practice of medicine in
any state without having to pass n state
examination also. TIN standard is to be
made 50 high that there can be no doubt
of the qualifications of doctors who pass.
Twenty one states already accept the
certificates issued by the national board,
and ten others have signifed their will
~ingness to accept them when state laws
can be amended to allow such proceed
lure. The further stiffening of these
tests will advance their popularity and
in itself help to maintain the already
high standards of the medical profession
Neither medical facts nor human bodies
change intrinsically with state bound
airy lines, and a man who is qualified t.
lpractice in one state should be fitted t
do so in another. As in teaching, thu
artificial barriers should be removed.

FOOte Economy Clubs and Expectation
Rutland Herald.1

Lacking full returns from all the
towns in the state, The Herald is not
prepared TO sayphew g~eerally the art
less request of Lieutenant Governor
Foote for the formation OF ECONOMY
clubs was complied with on town
meeting day. The chances are that only
Il comparatively small proportion "fell
for'' the plan, and certainly only where
the candidate has interested Il lntiu-
entail friends.
The results in Addison county are
somewhat general, with a few scatter
ing reported elsewhere, at this writing.
1t was expected that Addison county
would give Foote a good showing. des-
pite reports to the contrary. and the
selection of Senator Willis y. Cady as
president OF the NIiddlebury club seems
TO assure the more or less general sup
port of the Changers.
The remarkable thing is that so many
voluntarily placed themselves on record
as in favor of Foote for governor, with
out knowing whether there would be
candidates would stand for. Sew
eral towns in Rutland county concluded
to "wait a btu before becoming com
mitted. in one at least the suggestion
being frankly made that Redteld Proctor
might be II candidate.
Somethig of the same kind happened
in C~avendish, where 1t was probably
felt that Ex-Governor Allen NJ. Fletcher
might become a contestant for the nom
ination, despite the mountain rule and
the unwritten law that "they never
come back"
Foote clubs in johnson with Lieu
tenant Governor Charles III. Stearns as
presidentO in st. Johnsbury aud Georgia
are also more or less significant, but the
total is more Indicative than conclusive
If Foote, however, carries on his plar

not yet within the fold, something IA.

Ghost Hunting.
(St. Albans Messenger.

tDlu -AAuduS NlfcStiStA-I
A great many people probably smile at
the effort being made by a serious-minded
scientist to trap the ghost of Amigo
nish." But why should they smile! 1t
is in no sense of the word scientific TO dis
miss anything without an investigation.
Had it been scientific to do this we
would not now be reading by electric
lights. talking over telephones and throw
ing messages around the world without
wires.
Investigation is the soul and body of
science. Most of us do not believe in
ghosts. although at the same time most
of us are apt to have a creepy feeling at a
strange noise in a graveyard at midnight.
while a haunted house still commands
very popular interest. Blu even if we do
not believe in these unearthly bodies, that
doesn't prove they don't or can't exist.
No, it is highly proper that there should
be research in these occult fields. We
want to know. and the only way we can
learn. if it is TO be given to us to learn,
is by seeking the knowledge. The Amigo
nish ghost undoubtedly will turn out 10
be a fake of one kind or another. But
establishing this fact will be worth all
the trouble. Ii will set some uneasy
minds at rest and perhaps serve to pre-.
vent future imposition.

TESTING WITH \

Surely there was stuff for an old
fashioned Morse saga in that story of
the wireless operator who went down
with the Norwegian steamer Grontoft.
But with this difference-the old sagas
had little humor in them.
The story was told in wireless mes
sagcs from the Grontoft, picked Up by
the Estonia in the middle Atlantic.
while a great storm was raging. They
ran like this:
God pity the poor sPilors on a night
like this-ha, ha!'
The old man thinks this calm will
be over by nightfall. We sure need some
breeze."
An hour later: Well the steward
is making sandwiches for the ~lifeboats
Looks like we were going on a picnic
In another half-hour: The old
wagon has a list like a rundown heel
out in without an umbrella"
The Estonia wired to the crippled
Grontoft to hold on and put about
to go to the rescue. Forty minutes later
the Estonia operator picked up tho
words:
We are sinking stern first. The
boats are smashed. Can't hold out an!
longer. The skipper dictated that-h,
ought to know. Where did l put m!
hat? Sorry we can't wait for you
prezzing business elsewhere. s."
As Shakespeare wrote at the end o
one of his plays, THE rest is silence.
The operators name was not mentione,
in the despatch giving this story to tn
world. Nobody knew. Perhaps it doesn'
matter. One thing sure-he was al
American. And while men can die Xix
that, we needn't worry about the viz
ility of the race.

Hartford Tines

BY the caath of Professor Williston
Walker, Yale loses a scholar of broad
learning and high ideals. and the Congre-
g~atiOnal church loses one who long ago
had earned the reputation of being an
authority on ecclesiastical history. DIR.
Walker was well known in Hartford,
where his father. the late DIR. George
Leon Walker. was pastor of Center
church, and DIR. Walker himself had
been a professor for min years at the
Hartford Theological seminary. of which
he was a graduate. Previously he was
graduated from Amherst college, OF
| which he later became a trustee. His
broad learning was recognized by uni
| yersities and colleges in this country
| and abroad. honorary degrees having
been bestowed on him by Harvard, Yale

The death of Professor WIlliston
Walker at his home i'm New Haven on
Thursday is n distinct loss to scholar
ship. to Yale university, TO education
everywhere and to a wide circle of ad-
miring friends. Hartford has long con-
sidcred him as one of Us. He lived here
for years when his father, the honored
and loved DIR. George Leon Walker was
the pastor of the historic Center church.

Theological seminary, and in 1901 he

ment.
When the radical change in educa-
tional methods was undertaken at Yale
two years ago. DIR. Walker was chosen
to the new Office of provost. practically
assistant to the president. mead of the
important committee ON educational pol
icy. He attended meetings of the corpo-
ration, as do the secretary and the
treasurer.
His clear head. his grasp upon the

high sense of he responsibilities OF

was graduated at Amherst in 1888 anC
then studied extensively abroad.
He was a high authority In church
| history and the author of a number o.
important works. His high rank amOnI
scholars is suggested by the fact that h
had received the honorary degree of u
10. from many colleges including Am
herst. Harvard and Yale.
Among personal friends he was a wei
come companion, genial and easy !.
manner. interested in affairs and of I'm
public spirit. He and Mrs. Wake
naturally took leading positions in 50
cial circles and the friends who VII
mourn his death as a personal loss ar

Quoting business. \ man who should

"Stod" Bates has finally hurled his old
winter cap with the warm earlaps into
the senatorial scrap of Orleans county.
He has no particular platform, except to
give his best efforts to all measures
which seem to me to be for the best inter
est of the state. His is not especially
definite. but is probably enough to carry
Bates into the nomination. rs he has the
fairly solid backing of his county and
most of the northern counties in anything
significant which he may undertake. He

DIR. Walker was engrossed in his stud
les; he devoted his life to acquisition
and diSpensation OF knowledge. For
some years he had charge of the compila-
tiOn of the Yale neurology, and in all
his writings he demonstrated the great
learning and expansive s~ympathies that
won him many friends and universal re-
spect. His passing will be mourned by
all those who studied under him and as
sociated with him. and who held him in

Gerhard \. Bading, the choice of
President Harding for the post of
United States minister to Ecuador. is. a
Milwaukeean who gave up q notable ca
reer in the medical and surgical profess
sions to enter the public service of his
native city. His professional career,
following graduation from Il Chicago
medical college, began in 1896 with his
appointment as house physician in the
Milwaukee city hospital. Later his high
standing in his profession was given rec
ignition in his appointment to profess
sorships in the leading medical colleges
of his state. For four years, from 1906
to 1910. he served as commissioner of
health of Milwaukee. and in 1912 he was
honored with the m~ayoralty of that city.
In the executive chair Mayor Bading eS-
tablished an excellent record for eff
cheney. He wassa leading spirit in the
National Municipal league and was
looked upon throughout the country as
a city official who knew both the pollti-
cal strategy that nomination and eleG,
ton demanded. and the technical knowl.
edge of administration based on study OF
municipal policies at home and abroad
