Learning to Be q DoctOr-No 6


A greater organization of medical
practice for service to a greater
number at a smaller cost will come
in the future. To the solution OF
this problem the medical profession
is bending its greatest efforts.
Commercialized, mechanical med
ical practice, either that provided
salaried physicians employed by
corporations Of business men, or by
stock companies, or partnerships OF
physicians who are good business
men, is not the best form OF the
practice of medicine.
Such things have failed in the
past. except where they have de-
veloped to meet a peculiar local
condition, and they will continue to
fail in the future.
Business is business and medlclne
is medicine and never the twain
shall meet.
A sincere and complete applica-
ton of what are known as business
methods to the practice of medicine
would bring down on the profess
sion a revolution beside which the
French revolution would be as a
sore finger compared to an amputa-
ton of both arms.

To the Crime Commission

To all members of President Hoovers crime COM
mission respectfully recommend an article in the
current Harper's monthly It is called What's Wrong
With the Right People?" It's author is Jack Black, a
reformed criminal
Jack Black has spent twenty-five years of his life
in Jail or prison He appears to write with knowl
edge of what goes on in the average criminals heart
and mind If some part of this knowledge can be i'm
parted to members of the crime commission, they will
be helped toward understanding the problem they have
to deal with.
1t is not unreasonable to believe that the answer to
CRIME problem is more likely to be found in the
rys prison cells than in the countrys libraries. Yet
it is too much to expect that the elderly and dignfed
Chairman Wickersham and his eminent associates will
spend their time cumming with convicts in an effort
to learn what makes them tick out of tune with So
ciety. That would be impractical to say the least.
However. here is a man who has studied life from
both sides of the jail bars and from both sides Of that
invisible mental or moral barrier that separates the
"ooodp people from the bad He knows the Grim
malls viewpoint.
We undertake to say that no amount OF study that
fails to achieve some understanding of this view
point will go very far toward solving or reducing the
crime problem It will pay the Presidents commission
to read what he has written.
Incidentally Jack Black relates that his own re-
form resulted from the fact that intelligent judge
decided he had some good in him and told him So this
Judge gave him short sentence when he could have
given him a long one, Harsher penalties, IN JACK
Blacks opinion, is not the cure for crime.

insist that the middle class man as
well as the poor and the rich are
entitled to the best medical care.
But the best medical care is a
Understanding, intricate, expensive
procedure, far beyond the reach OF
the average man.
The problem of the future is the
provision of the best medical care to
all of the people at the price that
they can afford.
It should be emphasized that the
bill of the physician represents but
one small portion of that cost. The
total cost represents actually the
advancement in medical science and
in medical care, including the use of
the laboratory, the X-ray, hospitals,
nurses, and many other factors.
Certainly the medical profession
does not roll in wealth The income
of the average physician would be
disdained by any f1rst-class plumber.
The public must realize that re-
gardless of the eventual nature OF
medical practice, physicians will be
required for the work Individual
ization increases the cost of medi-
cal service.

Hoover's Peace Challenge

As the kellogg pact last year expressed the yearn-
ings Of all peoples for waress world, 50 President
Hoover in his Memorial day address yesterday voiced
the general disappointment that the ant-var treaty
has not fastened disarmament
Despite the declarations OF the KeIogg pact every
important nation has since the signing Of that agree
rnent been engaged in strengthening its naval ARM
the President pointed cut We are sill borne on
the tide of competitive building.
The Coolidge administration and foreign govern
ens have been fond Of the fiction that this building
Of more cruisers is not competitive that it is with
out relation to the size OF ether nsvieS The net
effect Of such fictitious arguments in Washington and
London has been to disguise from the people the
serious revival OF the naval armament race. Presi-
dent Hoover swept aside such subtefuge with the fat
declaration that the strength in fighting ships re-
quired by nations is but relative to that Of other
powers"
h also uncovered the falacy of those frequent
PROPOSALS for naval limitation which actually
would increase present strength Limitation upward

Too Much Wheat

The proposal Of Senator Nye to appropriate
for the purchase of wheat to be sent to the
starving Chinese reveals clearly the difficulties facing
congress in ITS attempt to provide effective farm relief
Nye has been one Of the most active supporters OF
measures to aid agriculture He favored the equaiza-
ton fee and when that failed urged the debenture plan
of an export bounty.
Now he would relieve the gut of wheat which has
brought prices to the lowest level in fifteen years by
taking s2OOOO0OOO worth out of the general reservoir
This would reduce the supply and presumably increase
the price.
There is Of course no secret in the collapse Of the
wheat market There is an enormous carryover from
last year and big harvest is in prospect here and in
other countries The United States, and the world
have vastly more wheat than they use.
Nye apparently realizes that in such situation the
most practicable solution is to get rid of some of the
wheat
It difficult to understand how stablizatlon cor
porauon could do more than offer temporary relief.
with subsequent day Of reckoning, or how the deben-
ture scheme could do more than dump hundreds of
millions Of bushels Of wheat foreign countries at low
prices, with American consumers paying huge bill

The scarf cloud is formed by the rising and conse

Nevertheless, its coming into existence at an unex-

" THINK that those who teach the
L alien and the child about the
government by which we live make
g. mistake in always speaking Of
the supreme court with bated
breath
AS 1 remember back in the dim
mists of my youth. the teacher tried
to make us feel that the learned
men of the high court we're sane
titled somewhat after the manner
Of the twelve apostles.
Now that just isn't so, and in the
process Of growing up, the lndlvl-
dual may be shocked ruGely to dis
cover that these austere figures are
neither gods nor devils, but men
with all the ordinary frailties of
human kind.
Obviously not every justice of the
supreme court can be wise beyond
the widest hopes in each instance.
Some must err upon occasion. After
all, when the court divides in judg-
ment it must be that one side is
right and the other entirely wrong.
At least this is true in cases where
the issue is sharply drawn as in the
recent decision denying citizenship
to Rosika SchWimmer.
Holmes and Butler we're as far
as the poles asunder in the opiil-
ions which they gave out. It is quite
impossible to reconcile these diver
gent views.

those instruments Of peaceful adjustment that will
enable us to remove disputes from the field of emo
ton TO the field of calm and judicial consideration
The tragic contradictions in American policy are
emphasized by the fact that less than year ago our
government could initiate pact renouncing war that
a few months later it could put through new naval
building program that this week the supreme court
could deny citizenship to Madame Rosika Schwinl-
mer for believing literally the Kellogg pact doctrine
and that now four days later the President say
things about war and naval competition which would
cause the deportation Of any alien who dared voice
such truths.
Since President Hoover apparently sees these in
consstences in our national policy so clearly many
Americans and foreigners are hoping he will do more
than his predecessors have done to achieve appre-
ciable arms reduction and to cooperate with such
peace preserving institutions the League of Ma
tons and the world court.
AS a first step, following the British general cleo
ton Thursday it is assumed that the President will
press for naval reduction agreement along the lines
recently proposed by the American delegation at
Geneva and repeated in the Presidents Memorial
dav address.

THE JORNSTOWN FLOOD
Nov n

May 81
TO-DAY is the anniversary of one
1 of the greatest tragedies in the
history Of America-the JohnstoWn
flood.
On May 81. 1889, less than a
month after the centennial ami
versary of the Inauguration Of
washington and the beginning of
our government under the consti-
tuition was celebrated by a gala ex-
position in New York City, the
country was plunged into sorrow by
the sudden horror which befell this
peaceful western Pennsylvania COM
munity.
A sudden break in the dam at
the outlet of Conemaugh lake re-
leased a forty-foot vail of water,
half a mile across, which swept
down through a deep and narrow
valley.
In less than fifteen minutes the
food waters had swirled over eight
cen miles. In that brief length Of
time itswept seven towns off the
map and ended by carrying away
the greatest part Of JohnstoWn.
The food choked The entire val
ley with ruins and claimed 1920
lives. The property damage was
estimated at 100000 in official
figures.

T, B. Killing Girls

XXTHILE the campaign against
w tuberculosis which has been
carried on during the last twenty
five years can be regarded a gen.
eral successful, it apparently is
failing with young girls.
The death rate from tuberculosis
among girls between IA and 10 l.
ways has been greater than that
among boys, but recently it has
showed a marked advance.
Where these used to be a differ
ence of only so per cent, there now
is difference of nearly 100 per
cent.
In other words, twice as many
young girls are dying from tubercu-
lOsis as boys

Improvement Desired

"CURELY," said Holmes, cit can

the principles of the Constitution
that she thinks it can be improved.
I suppose that most intelligent
people think it might he.
Her particular improvement, look
ing to the abolition Of war, seems
to me to not materially different
in its bearing on this case from a
wish to establish cabinet govern
ment as in England, or a single
house Of a term Of seven years for
the President.
ITO touch a more burning ques-
ton, only a judge mad with par
tisanship would exclude because the
applicant thought that the eigh-
tenth amendment should be re-
pealed"
But by a vote Of to 3, the
Supreme Court OF the United States
held that Rosika Schwimmer could
not become citizen because she
said she would not take up arms
personally"
This is a new sort of prohibition.
1t seems to mean that hereafter
the American citizen may not pos

that there will soon arise bootleg
gers to supply them.
The decision, naturally, estab-
fishes the law of the land, but there
is no good reason why the citizen
should respect that law in the
sense of bowling his head and say
ing. "the supreme court has spoken
and it must be right.
The supreme court has reversed
itself on numerous occasions. It
should be and must be in the long
run responsible to the will of the
people.

tionaries to the high court 1t has

Associate Justice Holmes has writ
ten the more convincing argument,
as far as one can tell from the brief
newspaper extracts.
And yet I do not entirely regret
the Cleavage, for it should serve to
stop the yaWp OF those who pirate
so carelessly about respecting the
Constitution, obeying it and low
ing it.
Curiously enough. the oldest mem
Der of the court is consistently the
most radical in his opinions It
may be that the founders of Amer

day they might well be blacklisted

There is a certain irony in the
fact that the only fighting man on
the supreme court bench was the
one to write the opinion in favor
of tolerance for the philosophy OF
paciflclsm.
More than sixty years ago Justice
Holmes was wounded while serving
in the Union army. and he was the
one to say that a belief in the ne
cesssity of war is not an integral part
of American patriotism.
In fact, it was another variety
which he advanced a. paramount.

This Side of Moscow

1T is the custom now when any
l. raucous voice is raised in an
instant upon the preservation Of
human rights to quell the fellow
by calling him q communist and
suggesting that if he does not like
it here he should return to Mos
COW
But in many cases the individual
stigmatized as a neW-fangled sedi-
zionist really is crying out to his
countrylnen to return with him to
Lexington and Concord.
Justice Holmes himself declared
that there was no evidence to show
that Rosika SchWiinmer profeSsed
allegiance to any of the now
dreaded creeds.
Long before there was a Green
wich Village or any soviet, granite
faced men in old America set them
selves to the creation Of an ex-
tremely revolutionary utopia.
The Constitution Of the United
States is daring in its radicalism;
or, rather, it was until supreme
court decisions reduced its freedom
content down to half of / per cent.
There is no denying that free
speech lay sick unto death during
the war, and that it has not yet re-
covered.
Orators talk 10 us Of liberty I'm
der the law" and they have reject
ed the fundamental doctrine that
certain rights exist which may not
be denied to even the most pitiful
minority by any act Of legislation
whatsoever.
