Bema. —etoute, Pa., Sonruary 13, 1914. MESTREZAT FOR U. S. SENATE Leaders Conferred With Wilson to Se- lect a Ticket Most Likely to Bring ! Democratic Victory. President Wilson went over the po- Mtical situation in Pennsylvania with reorganization Democratic leaders. The purpose of the consultation was to select a state ticket most likely to bring about a Democratic victory in the Keystone state next November. The following decision was reached: Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer for ; governor. Justice S. Leslie Mestrezat for Unit- ad States senator, with the possibility that Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson may be later agreed upon. Former Representative William T. Creasy, of Catawissa, of the Pennsyl- vania State Grange, for lieutenant gov- ernor. - The emocrats who laid the Penn- sylvania situation before the president were Congressman Palmer, Roland S. Morris, of Philadelphia, chairman of the Democratic state committee; James I. Blakeslee, fourth assistant postmaster general; Vance C. McCor- mick, of Harrisburg, and Secretary of Labor Wilson. The only point upon which there was serious difference of opinion was the wisdom of Secretary Wilson leav- Ing the cabinet to oppose Senator Boles Penrose, who, while he has not made a formal announcement to that effect, is regarded as a candidate for the Republican nomination and re- election. President Wilson, it was said, op- posed, or at least did not encourage Becretary Wilson's suggested candi- dacy for senator. He is understood to bave interposed objection to losing Becretary Wilson as an “advisor,” but pointed out that his former connection with the organized labor movement as secretary and treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America might inject class feeling into the Pennsylvania campaign and prove an slement of weakness rather than of | strength. President Wilson, it was said, made it plain that he had no thought of in- jecting himself into a state campaign or of overriding the judgment of the Democratic leaders on the ground and best able to judge of state and local conditions. The conferees said that they went to the White House by appointment, having requested the president to give them the benefit of his advice as to political conditions which were laid before him last week. i As regards the senatorship, Secre-' tary Wilson expressed himself as of the president’s mind, and said that his fndividual preference was to remain in the cabinet. Stress was laid upon Jus- tice Mestrezat’s fitness for a seat in the senate, his training as a lawyer and jurist being urged as strongly in his favor as against the candidacy of a layman, even though the claim of vote getting popularly might be ad-’ vanced for the latter. The conference is regarded as a full endorsement of Palmer's leadership in Pennsylvania by the president, and as indicating the intention of the ad- ministration to give substantial “com- fort and aid” to the reorganization Democrats of that state. With “proof” of the president's in- terest in their plans, reorganization Democrats are confident that they wiil not only be able to overcome the can- didacy of City Solicitor Michael J. Ryan, of Philadelphia, but to bring about harmony within the party and to go to the polls next November with unbroken party ranks. Hit on Head; Girl Roamed About Dazed Miss Mary Bierman, aged twenty- two years, who has been missing since Wednesday night, told the police that ' on Wednesday evening she had left the school in Bethlehem, where she is | employed, to go to her brother's home in South Bethlehem, Pa. While crossing the old covered bridge on Main street across the Le- high river, she passed a man, she said, who turned around and struck her with a club. After that she says she remembers nothing until the next day, when she found herself in the woods near St. | Luke’s hospital, a mile or two away, ! with both shoes off and her clothing torn. She was still so dazed that she was unable to find her way out of the woods all that day. Miss Bierman can give no descrip- tion of her assailant. Send Boy by Parcel Post. Mrs. E. H. Staley, of Welington, Kan. received her two-year-old nephew by parcel post from his grandmother in Stratford, Okla., where he had been left for a visit three weeks ago. The boy wore a tag about his neck, showing that it had cost 18 cents to send him through the mails. He was transported twenty-five miles by rural route before reaching the railroad. He rode with the mail clerks, shared lunch with them and arrived at Wel- lington in good condition. Two Children Killed. C. BE. Cook, of Newport, Pa, drivcr of one of the teams of the Atlantic Refining company, was seriously hurt and two daughters, seven and nine years old, of Albert Hammaker, of Watts township, were crushed to death in Watts township. The children were riding with Mr. Cook, when the wagon skidded on the ice covered ground and tumbled over an embankment. One horse was also killed. A DOCTOR'S STORY: = Problem That Grew Out of a Queer Night Call. A STUDY IN MEDICAL ETHICS. It Was a Case In Which Mystery and Suspicion Were Mixed, and It Awoke to Violate a Pledge of Secrecy. This is a story, told by a well known physician, of a problem that suddenly confronted him and how he inter- preted the ethics of his profession and acted on it. “1 was roused one night,” he said, “by a telephone call. An unfamiliar ' voice asked me if I could attend a man who had been injured. [I answer- | ed that 1 could if the case was ur- gent, but before I could ask who was calling the speaker answered: i ‘All right, doctor; I'll call at your { house in ten minutes with a carriage.’ “Almost before I had time to dress the doorbell rang. 1 unlocked the door, and a man wearing a long ulster, a dark hat and a pair of colored glass- es entered. * ‘Doctor,’ he said, ‘before we start 1 want to make a request. This case, as | told you, is urgent. But before we start | must have your assurance that you will treat this visit as a confidential mission. I can’t say any more, except to add that you're run- ning no risk of any kind in help- ing me.’ “There was nothing about the man’s appearance that seemed suspicious. He was quiet and self possessed. There wasn’t a trace of nervousness about him, and he was well dressed. I thought there was no reason for re- fusing to make the agreement. “I took my hat, and we started. The carriage was a closed one. We got in; the man turned on a small electric light and then drew the blinds over the windows. “ ‘Doctor.’ he said, ‘I'm going to ask you to take this trip without knowing where you're going. [I'll assure you it's all right. 1 want you to blindfold yourself before we leave the carriage until we get inside the house.’ “Well, 1 didn’t like the look of this, but I was in and didn’t like to back out. By the time the carriage stop- ped I didn’t have the least idea what part of the town we were in. he had made so many turns. [| put on the blindfold, as my visitor requested, and ! we went into a house. “Upstairs | found my patient. He had been shot twice. Revolver bullets they were. The wounds weren't dan- gerous, but they were painful because they had not been treated earlier. “] dressed them. told the woman who was there what sort of care the patient ought to have and then told them that I'd have to see the man at | least two or three times more before . I could answer for his safe recovery. ! “The man with the dark glasses quietly assented to this. but insisted that he should bring me at night, as he had that time. I agreed. *The next morning the papers told of a robbery in which a householder had been wounded after shooting one of the burglars, who succeeded in escap- ing. All the facts of the case indi- cated that my patient of the night be- | fore was the burgiar who had been shot. The householder recovered quickly. “The question stared at me: Did the | ethics of the medical profession allow me to go to the police and tell them what I knew, or did my promise bind me to secrecy? I thought it over all day and finally decided that I had no right to say anything about the mat- ter. I made three more trips in the same manner. All this time 1 watch- ed the papers. but no trace was found of the burglars. When | made my last visit I told the man who had first | called me that my fee would be $50. He took from a large roll some bills | and handed them to me without a word. He drove me home, and that ' was the last I ever saw of either of them. | “That was a good many years ago, . but I've often wondered whether I did | right in not violating that man’s con- fidence.” “I don’t think you did,” said a mem- ber of the group. “The medical pro- fession has no right to shield a crim- inal. Women and children should be given the greatest protection we can inal is binding.” “But suppose it had turned out that the man was not the burglar in ques- tion? 1 believe he was, but it might bave been otherwise.” “That's true.” sgid a third. “It was all right to keep your promise so long as you had no actual knowledge that the man was a criminal. Where you made your mistake was in making | such a ridiculous agreement in the first place.” “And let a man, dangerously injur- ed, suffer?” asked the first speaker. “Remember, when | first agreed to se- crecy the case had no particularly sus- picious appearance. 1 could cite a dozen different circumstances in which a serious accident might happen and which the persons connected with great lengths to keep secret. So end either of you."

His Real Love. “You don’t think Banks is fond of his wife?” “Not so fond as he is of her husband.”—Boston Transcript. Remember that your birthright is health. A diseased condition is un- natural. Nature hates disease. She is always working against it, trying to cleanse it as a blot on her dominion. But Nature cannot work without material. If you do not eat, you will starve in spite of all Nature's ‘effort. You must eat good food.. Nature cannot make bad food into good flesh and good blood. If you eat good food and your stomach is diseased ‘the food you eat fouls. Itis here that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery finds its place. It is made to assist Nature; to give her what she lacks. It cures the diseased condition of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition, so that good food is not fouled before being made into blood and flesh. It eliminates poison- ous and effete material, and so prepares the way of Nature and makes her paths straight. In the whole range of medicines there is nothing which will heal the stomach and cleanse the blood like “Golden Medical Discovery.” Medical.
