Disputes Reports.
Writer Gives Data on Women as
Doctors and Editors.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Two errors in history have crept into
The Star recently, which l believe it will
be glad to correct
One mentioned a lady physician as
the first woman to practice medicine
here" forgetting DR.. Susan Edison, DR.
Caroline Winslow, DR.. Alice Burritt and
Mr.. Mary Walker, who were practicine
here before the date given as the first
hysician's birthday.
DR.. Edison was my physician from
1872 until her death, and after that DR.
Alice Burritc until her death.
Another item mentioned young WON
an as the first on the editorial staff of
daily paper"
l went to Charleston in 1869 to fill a
position on the editorial staff of the
South Carolina Republican, owned and
edited by the Rev. John NJ. Morris. to
whose paper in Connecticut 1 had been
q contributor.
After Mr.. Morris, who was also eXecu-
tive clerk Of the United States Senate,
bought the Washington Daily Chronicle
ne sent for my husband and myself to
come to the editorial staff of this paper,
giving me the choice between this and
the position Of editor-in-chief of his
paper In Beaufort. But having been suf-
hciently "fed up on South Carolina we
came here, on the Chronicle staff, and
here remained until the paper had been
bought by Senator Harlan, after which
1 edited campaign sheet for the ma
tlonal congressional committee through
the presidential campaign. and then re-
turned to Connecticut as managing edi-
tor OF an evening daily, to which | had
been contributor rs a girl. which posi-
tion 1 held until l accepted a clerkship
IN the Treasury Department, which
occupied for ~ years.
L could wish that / need not use my
personal history in refutation But /
must state the facts I know best. 1 hope
others will do the Same.

A National Evil,

A man has just died in New York
driver in a dispuate over the fare to
be charged for a ride. The driver is in
custody and will be accused and tried
for murder. A life destroyed and an
other in jeopardy because Of the ease
with which deadly weapons can be OBJ
tanned.
In several States agitations are in
evidence for the enactment of laws de-
signed to curb the practice of personal
armament. Some of the bills before
Legislatures prohibit the carrying of
guns, some increase the penalties for
gun carrying and some, going to the
root of the evil, forbid the sale of
weapons save to authorized persons.
That which is proposed in Maryland is
of this last-named class.
The District has law against "con.
cealed weapons which is worthless as
a means of preventing crime. 1t is
of the difficulty of detecting violator
until he has used his weapon. Repeat.
edly appeal has been made for a. new
law which forbids the sale of guns to
persons who have not been licensed
to purchase and carry them. No heed
has been paid to such appeals.
During the present session of Con-
gress effort was started to prohibit the
transportation of deadly weapons
through the mails. Thus far nothing
has come of it. Such law would be
needed il the States undertook to
check the pistol evil within their own
boundaries. The District would re-

Race to Aid Nome Sufferers
Hailed as Epic of Northland

Editors of the country see in the
| heroic race of men and dogs to carry
antitoxin to Nome, UP on the edge of
| the Arctic Circle, a thrill in real life
with all the romance or the frontier
days, and bearing once more stanch
proof of the old adage that truth is
stranger than fiction. The editorial
writer's vie with each other in praise
or the men, the malamutes and to
modern science. in this grim novel of
pioneer days brought down to date.
Those who think that this is a
prosaic age in which we live" says
the Providence Journal. are con-
stantly confuted by testimony to the
contrary" Here is a situation. adds
the st. Joseph Press. that has brought
humanity together in common kinship
l-the call Of the blood. Yet it was ever
thus. The same willingness to make any
sacrifice would have been shown a
bundled years ago." The Chicago
Daily News observes. Carrying that
message to Garcia was remarkab BILE
largely for the volume and the quail
ity of the praise it received. Carry
ing antitoxin to Nome was far more
difficult. more spectacular and alto
gether a larger performance"
The race to carry the life-saving
serum to the diphtheria- stricken peo-
rle is sheer melodrama of the film
kind" says the Philadelphia Bulletin,
In imagination the dog teams carry
ing the antitoxin can be seen as they
strain and struggle through the snow
and ice, urged on by their determined
drivers, a race with death against
time and the rigors of the season in
the Northland. The picture of rescue
is completed by the introduction Of
an airplane, manned by two volun-
teers, which will pit it's wings and
engine against the flesh and blood of
dogs and drivers The whole scene
would be the theater If it were not
so terribly real" While the Columbia
Record believes "the story will live
as long as the world stands or human
hearts exult over merciful and heroic
deeds 1t will live because the dog
has never been found a Stacker in
all history. Indeed. we may truth
