Let the Popular Will
Prevail
IX nearly even state in which the Republican par
tv has held direct primaries Mr. Roosevelt has
received a majority of the votes at those prima
ries and a majority of the delegates from those states.
In every case where the Republican party, there
fore, has appealed to the people, which constitute the
mass of the party, and has referred the matter of the
nomination of the Republican candidate to them, the
people have rejected Mr. Taft and Mr. Taft’s poli
cies. and have expressed their preference for Mr.
Roosevelt and for the progressive policies which he
promises to represent.
In inew of this very definite expression of popu
lar opinion. Mr. Taft should retire from the contest as
gracefully as may be. and should permit the nomina
tion of Mr. Roosevelt at Chicago without dissent or
dissension.
If Mr. Taft should not lie willing tn retire, the
delegates assembled at Chicago should, regardless of
Mr. Taft, proceed to nominate Mr. Roosevelt as the
chosen candidate of the Republican party.
Mr. Taft will go before the Chicago com ention
without popular snipport. His delegates have but in
direct. authority.
Mr. Roosevelt’s indorsement comes direct from
the people. And whatever we may think of Mr.
Roosevelt, of his worthiness or trustworthiness, of his
fitness or genuineness, the expressed will of the peo
ple should be accepted and the decision of the people
should lie regarded as final.
To repudiate this clearly expressed preference
of the mass of the Republican party for Mr. Roose
velt is not merely to deny the nomination to Mr.
Roosevelt—-it is to deny to the people the right to
make the nomination.

That Is the Fact Underlying the Great Stakes in Europe
Great meetings in London and elsewb.orc in Europe, strikes and
threats of strikes, emphasize the fact that working men must bp

wise leadership or by disastrous violence the necessary results are
obtained
The English working men are not paid enough to make life nos
gible and comfortable with the existing prices of food
To the credit of English statesmen, it must he said that great
intelligence, thought and earnest co-operation have been g-iven to
the workers in the great strikes of miners and others
But the results are not satisfactory, and they can not be satis

In America, fortunately, while conditions in some trades are
bad enough, it can not be said that there is a general condition of
wage payments barely equal to cost of food and the poorest clothes.
We have not in this country men doing hard labor in the mines

Keep Cool. Keep Sober, Keep Your Temper and Keep Out of Draughts
MAY has proved Itself a
very hot ’month The
weather prophets are pre

temperatures for the month Just
getting under way. It Is a good time
now. when summer Is giving us a
warm foretaste of Its quality, to
study some of the very simple
rules by which most of tire dangers
and many of ih» discomforts of
hot weather may be avoided
These rules are based on com
mon sense, and common sense is
based on experience. "At forty,"
says an olfi proverb, "every man
Is either a fool or a physician."
There would be no fools if every
body studied what is good and
what is bad for him. and followed
up his self-teaching w ith self-prac
tice, and there would be little need
for physicians.

the weather is always hot

a person m good, vigorous health
a single covering of cotton, or
linen. 01 thin flannel is enough in
hot weather, during the daytime.
In the chill of night something
more Is needed, but it should not
be burdensome

Put on your straw hat as soon
as the weather gets hot. and pay
no attention to what fashion may

woven that the aii can -circulate

hot-weather helmets are excel

any cost keep yom head cool
Wear garments that are not

in color. Black 01 da'k colored

'ake something moderately warm,

heat being required to turn water

avoid draughts of air. It makes a

Written For The Georgian
Bv the Rev. Dr. C. H. Parkhurst
i
THF. following question has re
cently intruded itself three
times upon my attention Do
physicians exist for the purpose of
curing rhe sick or for the purpose
of maintaining the doctrine of the
particular medical school to which
they have attached themselves?
In order to indicate that this
question does not proceed from
any malice toward the profession
it might have been broadened out
to include also some members, at
least, of the school of theology, and
thrn the inquiry would have been
Do theologians exist for the sake
of saving souls or for the purpose
of maintaining and perpetuating
the distinctive tenets of their own
theological school?
Our thought juat now. however,
is limited to the medical profes
sion. for I have recently had the
pleasure of being approached b>
three regularly graduated physi
cians. belonging' to different
schools, but each of them had ar
rived at certain conclusions and
made what he considered valuable
discoveries in the matter of treat
ment. but discoveries that were off
front the line of traditional thought
pursued by his school, and discov
eries which his colleagues resented,
although he was able to cite defi
nite facts anti results in <orrob>'-
ration of his theory.
Doctors Take Treatment
But. Don’t Recommend It.
Among these three Is one partic- ;
ular practitioner who has heretical
ly strayed away from the field of
ordinary treatment, the efficacy of
whose methods 1 have been able for
a number of years to experien. e
and to testify to. a physician whose
treatment a few other physicians
come to his office to avail of. but
w ho scrupulously refrain from rec
ommending the treatment to their
own patients.
Os course, a physician that can
do what other physicians can not
do mean= lose of revenue to the
other physicians
No one. however, would like to
suppose that a homeopathist for
the sake of the fee would rather
have one of his own patients die
under homeopathy than live un
der allopathy, and vice versa but
whatever construction is put upon
it, medical bigotry Is att easy sec
ond to theological bigotry, even if
not fulls un with il. not to say a
bit in rhe lead, and in neither of
the two lines of service is the world
being profited as much as tr would
be if we thought more of doing the
world good than of making s pel of
our own particular way of doing it.
