there Is something of disillusionmen
and withdrawal about our attitude to
ward Europe today, it is, and ought II
be, because of the experiences of GU
own generation.
Washington's patriotism found ex
preston in the government of a re
public which was frankly aristocratic
We sometimes forget the profouns
change which has taken place in thu
character of our institutions since tn,
day Of Washington. The rule in which
he and those about him believed wa!
popular only in a restricted sense
with limited suffrage, and with the
clear enough understanding with the
landowner, the merchant. the banke,
and the professional man.
They believed in an aristocratic re-
public. 1t was not until that great
popular uprising that seated Andrew
Jackson in the presidency that our
evolution toward a democratic repub-
lie really got well under way. Our
patriotism must work with different
elements from Washington's. He
knew nothing of melting pots, was IA
miliar with only one aspect of one
race problem, had never heard of an
industrial slum and had only the
vagueSt notions of real system of
public education, had never heard of
organized crime gangs and would
have been utterly shocked at univer-
sal suffrage.
To be patriotic it is not necessary
that we should do and believe in de-
tail what Washington did and be-
lieved century and a half ago. The
challenge that comes to us is rather
that we should cherish, that we should
work for, our America as he cherished
his. Here is our country; here are it's
prODleInS. IL is Tor us to work with
these problems in the spirit in which
he worked with his-in spirit of 10y
atty to the institutions we have
evolved through the epic of our his
tory, in spirit of intelligent good will
toward what lies about ourselves. To
do the just thing the right thing, the
fair thing, in spirit of devotion to |
a cause that is bigger than any indi-
vidual, in spirit of loyalty to the
IDEAL America that is vision that
must not fail amid all imperfection
and confusion-that is the challenge
to our generation, as it is that of
past and to come.

THE RIDDLE OF THE BEGINNING

A bright Massachusetts schoolboy
had read for a whole year my tire
some reiterations of the essential facts
about the cri. At last the boy, with
admirable spirit, wrote to point out
the flaw in my teaching:
You set forth the opinion in no
| uncertain terms that common re-
spiratory infections are spread
only in the eXcretions from nose
or throat which are carried for
varying distances in the spray
given off when the person having
the disease coughs. sneezes. talks
or laughs in other words, one
person has to get it from another
who already has it want to
ask who was the first person to
start it away back in the begin
ming, and where did he or she get
the germs?"
That is a retort that has been less
effectively made by a great many lat
ter-day charlatans and their wiseacre
dupes. If disease germs are the cause
of disease where did the first germs
come from?
I am we'll aware that the inability
of a physician or anybody else to an
swer this question is impressive to the
dull wit of the child-minded, and it
is from the large child minded (mo-
ronic) population that latter day
charlatans draw the bulk of their pa
tronage.
1t would be as logical to ask where
the first coolies came from, the first
itch mites, the first bedbugs, the first
mice, the first gophers, the first
skunks, the first tapeworms, the first
mosquitoes and the first freak healers.
1t does not seem to me that we are
justified in doubling that these crea-
lures are sometimes injurious to man
just because we are incapable of I'M
Outstanding their origin. That sort
of reasoning may suffice for the 30 or
40 million child-minded individuals in
our population, but it will not long
satisfy the minds of the other 80 mil
lions.

that judging from appearances
thought it would be exceedingly eff

ceptacle large enough to immerse his
fleets in. But that sort of argument
is not profitable to either side. This
chap happened to be a man of wide
influence and he used influence in
such a way as to hamper the spread
of my teachings.

Washington: Symbol of
Patriotism

President, University of Illinois
GA Guest EditoriaD
Washington has come to stand for
us primarily as symbol Of patriotism.
What does it mean to be a patriot in
the year nineteen hundred thirty two?
It certainly does not mean to do and
to think in detail what Washington
did and thought. One expression OF
his patriotism was a war with Eng
land. To us of today such a conflict
would be one Of the most fearful ca
lamities that could befall civilized
mankind. Another expression of his
patriotism was that he led revolu-
ton to overthrow the organized gov
eminent under which he had grown
up and which he had served. But is
there any thoughtful American citi-
zen today who feels that q man who
advocates the overthrow Of our own
form Of government is . patriot?
Rather do we regard him a. far from
patriotism as one pole is from the
other. Washingtons patriotism, In
an eighteenth century world, eau
toned his countrymen against Euro
pean entanglements. The oft-quoted
warning was not given to twentieth
century audience. Our attitude toward
Europe ought to be determined by the
problems Of our own generation, -,
Of course, 1t fundamentally Is. II

New York Tines

In Chief Justice Hughes address tt
the Judicial Conference of the Fed
eral Judges of the Fourth Circuit last
week many passages invite citation
We confine ourselves to his correction
OF a common and obnoxious error:
! A young student wrote me the
other day to ask whether con-
sidered myself liberal" or con-
sentative" 1 answered that these
labels do nos interest me. know
OF no accepted criterion. Some
think opinions are conservative
which others would regard as es-
sentlally liberal, and some opin-
ions classed as liberal might be
decided from another point of
view to be decidedly illiberal.
Such characterizations are not
lntrequently used to foster preiu-
dlces and they serve as very
poor substitute for intelligent
criticism. A judge who does his
work in an objective spirit, as a
judge should, will address himself
conscientiously to each case, and
will not trouble himself about la
bells.
The widespread habit of dividing
supreme court judges into two classes
from each of which can be expected
a particular kind of decision in each
case is not so naive as President Roo
sevelt's theory that the duty of the
court was to uphold 1.-The principles of
President Mckinley and the Republi-
can party in congress" but it is I'M
sound. The appointment of Mr..
Hughes to the chief justiceship was
opposed on the ground that he was
conservative or reactionary. He hap
pened to make number of decisions
which pleased his critics and at once
became a liberal" He can't help
making decisions that will displease
them: and If these should be in any
immediate sequence, the earlier tag
will be pinned upon him.
Our most acclaimed liberal" Judges
are sometimes found on the "illiberal"
side. Thus in the decision sustaining
the power of congress to limit aIco-
holic medicinal prescriptions, Mr.. JUS
tice Holmes concurred in the majority
opinion written by Mr.. Justice Bran
deis. Mr.. Justice Sutherland wrote
the dissenting opinion, in which Mr.
Justice McReynolds, Mr.. Justice But
Ter and Mr.. Justice Stone concurred
Only one liberal for liberality! II
would be easy enough to cite cases
Anybody who watches the decisions
of the court habitually will find that
the system of classification frequently
breaks down. The chief dissenting
Judge is, we believe, MIR. Justice Nc.
Reynolds. A judge doesn't render ar
opinion automatically of a certain
kind. In one famous case upholdine
the executive power of removal with.
out action by the senate Mr.. Justice
McReynolds dissented in common
with Mr.. Justice Holmes and Mr.. Jus.
tice Brandeis. This was the liberal
opinion, we suppose, for it rested up.
on the theory of protection of the in.
dividual, the official, from the arbi.
trary or capricious exercise of power
the doctrine of checks and balances.
Rufus Choate said that only Goo
Almighty could tell what would be
the verdict of a petit jury. There
seems to be a large number Of citi-
zens who think they know what the
opinion Of supreme court judges will
be and who divide those judges into
two compartments.

Holding forth on itching. a charla-

Holding forth on itching, charla-
tan who constantly ridicules the germ
theory said the purpose of itching is
to bring more blood to the surface to
heal or remedy whatever trouble may
excite the itching. Gle didn't men,
ton ivy poisoning as an example, or
even erythema, conditions where you
and 1 might imagine there is already
plenty of blood at the surface. But
he did caution against scratching to
relieve the itching, for he said that
may excoriate the skin and so invite
infection. If we were to pin this chap
down and ask what he means by in
lection, he would probably lose us in a
maze of vague congratulations about
retained wastes, impurities, toxins and
SO on, which attract the germs Just
as carrion attracts flies.
1t is not the beginning of germ life
that should concern us but rather the
end of it.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Beg Pardon, NV Mistake

You said in an answer that if any
thing is to be used for bathing the
eyes or as an eye wash it had better
be normal salt solution. Where can
we get that?-D. F. j.
AnsWer-I should have explained
that normal salt solution" means
boiled water to which common salt is
added in about the salt strength of

boiled water.
Exercise for Cure of Rupture
Kindly advise what exercise you
prescribe for rupture-(W. F.
