History Repeats!
COLBY VS.. BRYAN.


- The appearance Of Bainbridge Col
by against William Jennings Bryan in the
Scopes trial at Dayton, Tenn.-the evolu-
ton case--is not the first time these two
have met
One of the most interesting incidents
in the democratic national convention ut
San Francisco, in June, 1920, was when
Colby debated Bryan.
A wet-dry issue was up. Bryan's APP
pearance was late in the day A great
crowd had waited long TO hear the famous
orator. Bryan was the programs climax.
Accordingly, tho Colby was wel-known
as high up in the Wilson administration,
he was infinitesimal as an oratorcal at
traction compared with the Cross-of-Gold-
and-Crown-of- Thorns Commoner.
AS Bryan sat down and Colby was in
troduced. the audience indicated nervous
ness. No one ever had been called upon
to speak under less favorable conditions.
Thousands got up and started toward the
aisles.
The white-haired Colby. a man of ex-
ceptionally striking appearance. succeeded
in hating for n moment the rush to the
exits. Those who had started out stood
still.
Colby began to speak IN n calm, re-
served, quiet manner that was the direct
contrast to the fervid, vociferous Bryan.
Someone in the rear yelled louder"
Colby held up his hand until the place
was completely still. Then he stood silent
for few seconds more. When he con-
tinued it was in the same reserved calm,
quiet voice. He said, slowly and very dis
tinctly
Ladies and gentlemen. | can speak
louder. if you insist But when | am
loud, don't think so well"
The audience got the point The subtle
hit at Bryan had registered. 1t raised
roar of laughter
Those who were about to depart went
back to their seats And Colby had his
audience to the end

Mind and body are closely al.

Taking this as basis. a new
school OF scientific lawyers has
grown up in defense OF Grim.
inalg who are proved insane by
the experts.
This school maintains that the
acts OF an idiot or maniac
plainly arc beyond his mental
control and that this holds true
in varying degree with all per.

Tho point this theory attempts
TO prove is that all persons are
irresponsible AT times and there.
fore society has no right to
punish criminal but should

We Need More Hospitals

HOSPITALS are the measure of the
IL communiW's intelligent regard for
the lives of its people.
In a survey recently made by q commit
tee from the Chamber of Commerce, Sc
attic is only 80 per cent hoSpitalized, hav-
ing only one hospital bed 30 eve,y 800
people. Hospital standards as set by the
American College of Surgeons demands
one bed to every 125 people-in normal
times
TIME STAR knows of no better author
i ity to state the hospital situation in
Seattle than DR.. Frank l.. Horsfal, one
of our leading physicians and surgeons,
who has given seven reasons for the need
of new hospitals in Seattle:
FIRST-There is only one real hospital
building in Seattle. That is the Provi-'
dence hospital All the other buildings
are inadequately and impractcaly con-
structed, or not originally constructed for
hospital purposes.
SECOND-The need for hospital is
one of the outstanding situations in our
city. AS hotels are constructed to care
for the travelling public, so the hospitals
are built to care for those who are i'll and
incapacitated.
THIRD - Our hospital situation is
wholly inadequate, being at least 90 per
cent of the minimum requisite number OF
beds for a city of our size.
F0URTH-0ne of the primary needs
for the hospital is for an increase in path
illogical laboratories. The Seattle Cen
eral hospital was the first to install
pathological and meteorological labora-
tory. The advances made in medicine in
the last 80 years have been the result of
the work done in the laboratories of this
character.
FIFTH-The X-Ray laboratory of the
Seattle General hospital, and most Others
is woefully inadequate.
SIXTH-The surgeries at the present
time are inadequate to fill the calls that
are made upon them. AS result of this
inadequate situation, it is difficult for
surgeons to cope with emergencies.
SEVENTH-One of the most import
ant developments of the modern hospital
is that part devoted to the diatetics. At
present this department is housed in
quarters not as large as the kitchens in
many of our better homes.
TSHE new and super-Seattle General
L hospital, to cost 100000, of which
$500, 900 is to be asked from the general
public, should have the support from all
the people of Seattle. The Star believes
. the response will be generous one, when
. the volunteers in the campaign descend
. upon the city for this great humanitarian
work.
