A PrnhIem in Ethics

ethics" SAYS webster lis the science of moral
duty; more broadly, the science of the ideal human
character
SO we suppose that If person does something that
is called unethicaI he violates moral duty; per-
forms an act which is wrong and which injures his
fellows.
Doctors have a system OF ethics for their p.cies-
sion It is considered ulethical for them to adver-
ise for patients as the butcher does for customers, for
instance
This code lust has been invoked in Chicago by the
medical society of that city. Dir Louis E Schmidt,
distinguished physician and pIlianthropist, and
member of numerous learned societies here and
abroad, has been expelled.
His offense was that he was active in the Illinois
Social Hygiene League, connected with the Public
Health Institute Of Chicago The institute formed
by a group OF prominent persons to combat social
diseases and to provide persons of limited means with
proper treatment II advertses extensively, and
therein Dr. Schmidt participated in violation Of the
code OF ethics III the view of the society.
The organized medical men apparently we're
sentfu that charitable institution attracted patients
who otherwise would have had to pay for treatment
I'VE must keep ON trying to help the medical mems
lot DR.. Schmidt argued but can not buy him
prosperity at the cost of the sick
He asserted that the medical profession quickly
cal care
Said the medical society no sell-respecting proies
sion olerates self-expoitation by its members by ad
vertising nor it is ethical for physician to be con-
neeted directly with an institution that advertseS
medical services to the public
The controversy strikes at the heart of situation
that is coming to be much discussed. Thousands of
families of limited means are unable to have proper
hospital and medical care because it costs too much.
Laboratory studies surgical attention and the en-
plsyrnent of hgh-prieed specialists beyond their
reach
Their choice is neglect resort to quacks the use
Of nostrums Forward-ooking men in the medical
profession and on the outside have been calling atten-
ton to this condition and movements are atoot to
remedy it.
The Chicago episode is particularly in peint, be-
raYse it concerns social diseases. The ignorance OF
these is widespread and their neglect brings tragic
consequences Their prevalence is menace. Doctors
themselves admit that in part OF the practice oi
medicine is there as much quackery, charlataniSm

the pers of these diseases and offered treatment for

the war.
PBvs;pisns properly are prend of their moral

,rebahs that the attitude of Chieages organized
medical men is not representative OF the pfoteSsio

Horrors of Advertising

Il can not forgive advertising. 1t
can not even forgive the writing OF
articles.
Several years ago it expelled DR..
Hazeldine for writing about the
Baby Ballinger" case, though the
question involved was more moral
than medical.
DR.. Hazeldin was only trying to
tell an intensely interesting public
why he did not save the life Of a
monstrosity. DR.. Schmidt only was
trying to save an intensely interest
ed public some money.
The expulsion of the two tells its
own story.

THIS decision of the United

Harry Sinclair must serve ninety
days in jail for shadowing the jury
which was trying him and Fall is
the most beautiful number heard
in an American court in many
years.
After seeing the influential get
away with murder, as they do al
most continuously, it is ravishing
delight to have our greatest court
reaffirm the proposition that all are
equal before the law
All we have to do. dear brothers
and sisters TO restore respect for
courts and make Americans a law
and order loving people is to am
putate the endless monkey business
from law enforcement and have
our Judges hand out the quinine
to the rich as we'll as to the poor.
Do this a little while and COM
mon people will take of their hats
when they pass their courthousesi
Of course, we do not rejoice To
see anybody go to jail but institu-
tions with bars at their windows
were intended for those, who from
sheer greed, defy the very laws
which protect their millions.
The man most eligible to wear
stripes is he who sitting at the
feast of good fortune, would pun
down the house which shelters him.

A MERICANS are far from an
IA archistic; they are in fact
more docile than oxen.
They dwell without complaint;
amid injustices which in other times
have been the raw material OF
revolutions: they see the frightful
extremes of chance aggravated By
privilege and corruption, yet their
only reaction is a sense of helpless
ness; they go to war to save their
land from alien exploitation, only
to turn in the hour Of victory" to
find exploitation at their very door.
II
But. all the same. the sense Of
outrage is in their hearts and they
break laws which hamper them
iustifying the act by the illustrious
precedents set by the powerful.
This is one Of the great handican5
in the enforcement of the dry law
the poor knowing full we'll that the
rich snap their fingers at it.
r
Give them q square deal and The
masses will throw their hats in the
air for the sovereignty of society;
for the evangelizing power Of hon
est, impartial law enforcement Is
the greatest in our civilization.
1t would bring to the motlrners

were iron for officers as well as for
