The resignation of Judge 1'ntten.en leaves n vacancy en the Common Tleas bnch which he irnM fill. It should go witli witli eut saylns that the first consideration in the selection of a Judge should he distinguished fitness for the office. Personal friendship alone should play no part In the matter. The courts exist te administer justice. It la important that the people should have confidence net only in their impartiality, but in the judicial ability of the men en the bench. The State already hns tee ninny political Judges, They have been chosen in tee many instances as n result of political deals and dickers. In ether instances men have been put en the bench te be tnken care of. They hare been persistent officeholders, some times with little legal experience, but the politicians desired te find a place for them with a salary attached, and that place has been In the courts. 8uch n practice tends te destroy confi dence In the judiciary. The Governer broke away from It when he formed his Cabinet three years age. lie sought for the best available man in the country for Superin tendent of Public Instruction and found him in Dr. Flnegan. And when he made Dr. Basmusscn Commissioner of Agriculture he put in charge of the department an expert tae equal of any In any ether State and the superior te most. And se with ether ' lupertant places. There Is new offered te him through the resignation of Judge l'ntteren the oppor tunity te exercise the same kind of high ainded and patriotic judgment. There are capable lawyers with long experience at the bar who would adorn the bench. The Gov Gov ereor knows many of them. Their appoint ment would meet with the instant approval of the bar. It Is incredible that the Gov Gov ereor, who Is snid te contemplate retiring from active political life, should exercise his power of nppelntmcnt in the last months of Mi term te pay political dcbt. He has tee INklgh a sense of his public duty for that. I .nose wiie nave connuencc" in Dim are ex pecting him te select n man who will make a .record en the bench similar te that made bj; the late Edgar M. Cullen, of New Yerk. Judge Cullen. a Democrat, was elected te thi New Yerk Supreme Court when he was a comparatively young man. He was known te; have the judicial temper. He wat re elected without opposition, for the Republi cans and Democrats alike agreed that he t ahpuld be kept en the bench. Then he was elected without opposition te the Court of Appeals, the highest court In the Stntc, and a Republican Governer made him Chief Judge of that court, an office re which lie was later elected unanimously. When he died the ether day newspapers of all par ties agreed that he was one of the ablest Judges who had ever presided In a New Yerk court. We need mere men of his type en the bench in Pennsylvania. PRISON FOR A PEST J PATRIOTISM, as practiced by Horatio , Bottomley, seems for a fnct te have been the last refuse of a scoundrel. Considering it in the prophetic sense, new light is cast upon Dr. Jehnsen's much -discussed defini tion. The nauseating Bottomley left nothing undone which might contribute te the mis use of nationalist ardor and the dissemina tion of demagogy under the gule of public plrlt. His conviction by an Englih court en the charge of niKappmprintlng funds be longing te the se-called Victory Bend Club represents n welcome antidote for a species w! quackery that mijht have been called in tolerable had It net been accorded such pro longed sufferance. The mnlignnnt nnd pestiferous editor of irhe new defunct Jehn Hull was. after nil, only a shade mere shocking than his sev- ral millions of renders and political con cen Ultuents victimized by hw noxious bluff nd'blather.

LINCOLN AND HIS MEMORIAL AND THE MEANINGS OF BOTH It Is Something te See the Greatest Monument In America Erected te a Man Who Couldn't Hate Anybody TVCMOCRACY in government, the thing -' thnt all people arc talking nnd quarrel ing about nowadays, is net nil that it ought te be. But It Is ns geed as people. It enn be no better. It will Improve only ns people impreve nnd ns human life becomes expres sive of the wisdom of the spirit rather than the mere reflection of transient accomplish ments of mind. New and then, nt rare Intervals, a man appears somewhere In the world te be the voice of the secret, silent and Imprisoned heart of mankind where Is the source of all truth and understanding. And instnntly people kneel, knowing thnt they are in the presence of a divine thing. Se It will be In Washington this Memerial Day when the new Lincoln Memerial Is dedicated formally. Lincoln's soul was free. He let It lead him. He spoke Its lnngunge. The inhibi tions grounded In fenr, ignorance nnd self interest that Impose silence upon the hearts of most men were unknown te him. And se Lincoln Is nt home at last, n colossal figure seemingly of light In the midst of vast whtte spaces; a figure of strength and patience with a face of grief. He did what Innumerable men would like te de In smaller ways If a thousand chains of circumstance were net tee strong for them. He was man kind liberated. He was nil the men who died In the Civil War and all the men who died in France, trusting the world even while it slew them and somehow justifying their own miraculous faith. He was all lonely people and all these who suffer without crying out and all these who, te this day, endure misunderstanding and martyrdom and death and shame be cause of compassion rooted mysteriously and lneradlcably nt their soul's foundations. He was nil thnt part of humanity thnt nor ner mnlly has no voice, though its cbnrlty and strength save the world from itself at least once in every twenty-four hours. He spoke with the voice of nil people whose hearts guide them. And his voice wns one of the most wonderful thnt nny nation ever heard. Yeu can hear it yet. Yeu will always be able te hear it It echoes wherever men are breaking away from old and cruel ways of life and govern ment. It is upon every wind nowadays and in almost every language. And ns long ns the country lasts, as long as people have memories, they will go te the Lincoln Memerial and, looking up, they will seldom be able te see clearly the outlines of the marble figure inclesed there. They will see it through the mists thnt come te people's eyes new nnd then ns if te shroud things almost intolerably beautiful. Fer they will leek Inte the eyes of n man who had a heart sensitive enough te share nil the sorrows of a world and strong enough te sustain the burden without breaking. It Is no wonder that Lincoln, rather than Washington, Is coming te be regarded ns the greatest American. The spirit of Ged walked in him. The record of his whole life might be condensed into a query : Of what use are hnte and fear and selfishness nnd nny sort of cruelty? What have such quali ties of mind ever accomplished but destruc tion? The virtues of common men, qualities of feeling that are never absent from the majority in nny crowd, though they are con fused and thwarted nnd bound inexorably by circumstance, had free play and complete growth In Abraham Lincoln. And nny statesman who would wish te be like Lin coln must be like unspoiled humanity. There could be no mere fitting ceremonial at the national capital en Memerial Day, none se packed with significance, db thnt which nttends the dedication of the Lincoln Memerial. It will suggest Innumerable things worth remembering. Turn your eyes for a moment upon the serene and majestic figure upon its enormous pedestal, and all the bickering and squab bling that disgrace the seats of the world's Governments will seem like noises from n jirrigle. And Lluceln's life, ns It was lived, suggests hew far we wander from truth in the current estimntes of worldly success, Its Implications are net new. But they are here justified with startling clearness. Again, in this most magnificent building ever erected te the memory of man, the world is reminded thnt ndverslty may be one of the rnrest gifts of Henven : that it is from the humble thnt you must seek truth; that gentleness is, in the last analysis, the only renl proof of strength, nnd that wisdom may be a far different thing from learning. SAN ANTONIO ERUPTS AS A crater of Mexican politics San An An An toneo 1ms long ince superseded the once eruptive El Pne.

But under the shadow of the Alame, per haps even In the vicinity of the Big Hern saloon, of cozy memories, juntas, cnbals, turleus complexions of "Mas,," propaganda committees, exploitation crews, concession hunter, publicity profiteers nnd disgruntled revolutionists wax expansive. The latest product of this fruitful region Is the revival of Felix Ulna, with l.'.OOO booty-hungry sedltleni"ts available. The exact whereabouts of the still iinnbnshed nephew of the once redoubtable Porliiie is net disclosed. But it Is announced that he is eager, ns two or three times previously, te overturn the Government in the Mexican capital, trading as usual en the alleged spell of the Dlnz name.

But the Obregon regime, with the "re formed" Vllln ns n vltnl retaliatory nrm, has already proved itself far from apa thetic. Revolutionary bands, perhaps feel ing out the situation for Felix, have lntcly been repressed In Tabasco, Vera Crua nnd Puebla. If Adolfe de In Hucrta, reputed particularly beloved of Vllln, Is successful In his present financlnl mission te New Yerk, it Is possible thnt the aspirations of Felix Diaz may ngnln buffer suppression. ' Their present ndvertlsemcnt proclaims nbeve everything else the dlstnncc -crushing faculties e,f San Antonie, constituting n dis tinction net unlike that of Copenhagen with Its vivid visions of the trench fronts during the World War. , VITALIZING THE LEAGUE THE leng-dlscusscd possibility of Ger ninn entrance Inte the League of Na tions Is revived by the Londen Times In the announcement thnt the question will prob preb nbly be fermnlly considered nt the Septem ber session of the lnternntlennl society. It Is ndded thnt the topic was apprenched by the Council of the League this month and that It was believed that Germany would be admitted, providing geed fnlth wns evinced in the reparations case, which reaches n particularly acute stage today. Skeptics upon the gcnernl theme of inter national fraternity mny be Inclined te point out that the question of recognizing Ger many in the League Is less Important today than it wns three years nge, when the or ganization was conceived ns a potent instru ment In world government. Since thnt time the League hns been subordinated by the Council of Premiers and by international conferences, such ns these of Wnshlngten nnd Genea. On the ether hand, the alleged weakness of the League Is unquestionably lu large degree attributable te Its lack of universality. It was plnin from the beginning thnt, wanting n full membership, the body, ns n snfcgunrd, would degenerate Inte nn amia ble fiction. Its true possibilities have never been tested. They will never be until It embraces, as its founders Intended It should, the complete community of nations. The ndmlssien of Germany must assur edly rank as a step forward. MILLER AND THE PRESIDENCY DESIGNING politicians who think that the only Republican candidate certain of election te the governorship in New Yerk Is Governer Miller are dangling before thnt gentleman the hope of the nomination te the presidency in 1!1!4. They nre said te be telling him that if he consents te be n enn didnte succeed himself he will have rmenstrntcd te the country thnt he enn enrry New Yerk nnd thnt he cun success fully contest with Mr. Harding for the presidential nomination in 1024. The natiennl nspect of the New Yerk cnrnpiffgn is less interesting, however, than the State nspect. Mr. Miller has been n successful Governer. He hns shown cour age and" 'initiative, and he has brought nbeut economics nnd administrative re forms. His renomlnatlen would doubtless be equivalent te his re-election. Neither Mayer Hylnn nor William R. Hearst could defeat him. The assumption thnt Mr. Harding will be se weak; in 1924 thnt he cannot com mand n majority of the delegates In the Republican Nntienal Convention Is gratui tous. There are no indentiens thnt he is losing strength. As n matter of fact, he is stronger with the country today than when he wns elected. Governer Miller seems te be of presi dentinl size, but he is htill n young man. He will net be sixty jenrs old until the second term of Mr. Harding expires.

Andrews, State Sennter and relltlclnn, wns, beyond doubt, the most dur ing, resourceful nnd utterly unscrupulous lender thnt Pennsylvania ever had. lie Influenced the political destinies of two States. He mad his nnn.e in Pennsylvania, nnd his fortune, nnd lest it, tee, In New Mexico. He wns one of three brothers, each of whom was born in an atmosphere of politics nnd.dled In it. Wesley Andrews wns the elder brother, lie wns n most efficient secretary te Senater I enrese for years, nnd wns once chairman of the Stnte Committee. William II., or "Hull," wns the second brother. .Charlie, the, youngest one, n local pelltleinn In Mercer County, nftcrwnrd a hetclkeeper In Titusvlllc, wns the first of the three te tile. Chnrlle Andrews once told inc thnt Hill (i . H.) get his sobriquet of "Bull" becnuse of his natural disposition te smash right) through nny ebstucle, no matter what the result te himself. FOR years before he left Pennsylvania In the late nineties te become a resident of New Mexico Willinm II. Andrews had large1 interests In the latter territory. He engaged In railroad construction. Ills principal backer wns Frank Terrance, of Pittsburgh, president of tnc Standard Manu facturing Company, makers of bathroom fix tures, and nn exceptionally fine man. Fermer Stntc Sennter Arthur Kennedy, of Pittsburgh, was another Ptnnsylvnnlnn Interested in his projects. He withdrew grndunlly later en. Andrews purchased n number of mining claims in the copper districts of Arizona nnd of New Mexico. As n mnttcr of fact, It wns net his railroad enterprise, but his extensive nnd unproductive mining-land holdings that left him embarrassed nt his denth. William II. Andrews belonged te that class of politicians who believed that facile prom prem ises te the people, backed up with sufficient cash, would win nny election. His fnlth foiled him in the final analysts. I WAS In Snntn Fe in the fall of 1004 when Andrews wns a cnndldnte for delegate te Congress from New Mexico. A son of former Representative Jehn R. Byrne, of Fayette County, cnndldnte for the Si'iinte in the recent primary, was Andrews secretary and assistant campaign manager. William 11. Andrews always conducted his own campaigns and nleng the home lines en which he had managed Quay's fights back In Pennsylvania. I have before me as I write a ten-by-twelve folder used by Senater Andrews in his campaign of thnt year, which 1 carried from bin hendqunrters nt that time. Its first p'Rc is nderned by n very excellent portrait of Andrews. The second page is blank. The third con tains the Republican platform of the Ter ritory of New Mexico, nnd the fourth page hns his letter of acceptance te the Notifica tion Committee of the Republican Terri torial Convention. His acceptance of the nomination wns short. It contained but seven pledges. They were local and related te territorial affairs. hi places, however, there cropped out sam ples of the old flamboyant political style that made their author fuii.eus back in Pennsylvania. FOR instance, "Every measure for the furtherance of the industries, the inter ests nnd the welfnre of the people of New Mexico shall have In me n wnrm friend nnd indefatigable advocate," was one of his pledges. "1 will be nt the service of ail of mv con stituents. Irrespective of party affiliation, race, creed or station. "I will dl'igentlv refute all attacks nnd slanders upon the Territory nnd its people nnd will proclaim upon every possible oc ec oc ensien its advantages, attractions and re re seutces." And then, with a triumphant flutter, of flngs. with the old "Bull" Andrews wnve of a pudgy hand te the nsseinbled crowd, ns it were, n flam pnpulatieii of eludes : 1 mueynnt uppeel te the mixed t nis adopted laud, he con- "It is upon this brief declaration of nrin. ciples that I seek the support of the voters of our grand, historic and glorious Common wraith.

PATTERSON On the Scarcity of Physicians THE scarcity of physlcinns, which wns brought home in nn uncomfortable manner during the wnr, still remains nn unsolved problem nnd one for the crentien of which the Amerlcnn public itself is some what te blnme, according te Dr. Ress A . Patterson, dean of Jeffersen Medical Col lege. "The conditions which led up te the diminishing number of physicians, wild Dr. Patterson, "were npparent long before the wnr nnd thnt great conflict simply nc centunted them.

"In 1004 there were only three or four of the medlcnl colleges which professed te demand nnvtbing from their students in the matter of entrance requirements ether thnn n high school education and there were few Stnte medical beards. These beards which were then In existence would accept any thing In the way of a diploma from any medical college, no matter what if stand ing nmeng the legitimate mcmiiers et tne profession. New, nt lenst two years' col legiate education Is demanded of the appli cants for mntriculatlen at the best medical colleges. Of the ItJ.". medicul colleges In exlstence In 1004, ninety-five have perished, for many nnd various reasons. The Making of a Physician "I sometimes think of a medical college like ours ns n great manufacturing plant, the product of which every community vitally needs. On the one side there Is raw material (the nppllcnnts for admission) in excess of our facilities, nnd en the ether side Is the ilemund for our finished product (the highly educated physician) which we nre unable te meet. "Te Illustrate hew the rnw material ex ceeds our facilities for handling It, 1 may sny thnt already I have mere thnn 1000 applications for the first-year clnss for next fnll All of these hnve had at lenst two years of collegiate trainine, and many of idem hne obtained college degrees. Out of this number of applicants v,c shall probably be able te accept about 1.T0. The ethers who desire te study medicine at once will be obliged te go elsewhcie "New, see hew this situation compares with tht' demand. In the Slate of Penn sylvania there are nbeut l'-'.OIKI physicians. Snv that the averse professional life of u doctor is twenty-five years, nnd this I be lieve te be rather n liberal estimate. This menus that the'-e lli.000 physicians must he replafcd every twenty-five jears, or an aver age of fiOO u car. Supply Far Ilelew Demand "The medlcnl schools of the Slate of Pennsylvania de net graduate B00 students a year and their grnduates ure by no means kept at home. The last graduating class nt Jeffersen wus scattered through thirty-seven States, and nbeut the same proportion will obtain as te the ether medical schools, And ut that, Pennsylvania Is one of the greatest plivslclan-suiplylng States of the country. "Taking the entire country, there urn about 150,000 practicing plusidans, nnd nctlng en the same hypothesis ns te the duration of professional life, llils number must be replaced by the medical colleges every twenty-five years, or at the rnte of nbeut 0000 n year. Last jear the medical schools of the country gradunted something I- ' -s XtWfr.WsM'. Uie.- w&3&??M ....MavU like .1500 students. This shows clearly, I think, thnt the physicians of the country die. retire or become superannuated consld censld ernbly faster thnn they arc being supplied. "Anether matter of which I want te spenk In this connection Is the vast host of empirics which hns sprung up within the lnstr-fcw yenrs nil ever the country. They represent mnny mere or less lllegitlmnte brnnches of medicine nnd nre usunlly per sons with no stnndard of preliminary edu cation, no trnlnlng of nny consequence nnd no Ideals, who have taken ndvnntage of this situation, IntrodueeH themselves Inte the field 'of medicine nnd claim nil the honors nnd the rights of the medlcnl profession nnd of the men who hnve conscientiously nnd rigorously tnken n severe nnd difficult course of highly technical training. Physicians Hadly Needed "The educated physician hns many great fields in which te practice, and this is espe cially 'the case In the rural districts. e recently received ut our college n letter written from one of the smaller of the coun ties of Pennsylvnnln nnd signed by the Justice of the Pence, the forest rnngcr nnd the tnxldcrmist, nsklng us te send them a physician who would become n resident of their community nnd setting forth their great need. "This situation can be multiplied by theusnnd.s nil ever the country In the rural districts, nnd it was recently reported officially that mere than seventy towns in Massachusetts v nnd forty-two Incorporated towns lu Connecticut were without physi cians of nny kind. The Solution "I am net sure that the best solution of this difficulty, which, if it is net new con sidered formidable by the public, might easily become se, Is ndded facilities for the medical colleges, and I must net be under stood ns renrescnting thnt nil medical cel leges nre In the position of ours in the num ber of applicants received each year, which we cannot tnke. "lite best solution ns it seems te me lies in the hands of the public llsclf, and thnt Is tn iniike the meiiicnl imifessleu mere attractive te young men by better compen sation und Increased advantages for study. In the matter of compensation, I nm net speaking of the specialist who generally gets all he Is worth. 'ut the general prac titioner, who, ns n rule, Is badly underpaid. Immense demands arc made upon his time, skill nnd labor nnd the recompense is rarely sufficient te mnke the medlcnl profession attractive te the young men Who must be our physlcluns of tomorrow, "Instances nre nlse found where the public ts responsible In another way. Take the case of the medical school of Howdeln College In Mnine. It was a school serving n useful purpose, for It wns educating the country physicians of Its own State. When the costs of medical education became se great that the college could no longer carry the school, the Legislature was appealed te for nn appropriation. It wns granted, but wns vetoed by the Governer, nnd ns the people of Mnlne did net insist upon it, the school wns closed, lifter 100 yenrs of useful work. The people of this State were cer tainly short-sighted in putting out of busi ness the plant which gnvu them their phy sicians, which they could net hope te get from the big cities. "If the public wants Its health Interests tnken care of it must support the medlcnl profession, the members of which have made terrific sacrifices te establish and maintain n high standard of medical education ; nnd the snmi! public must net leek se leniently upon the fellow who wants te snenk in the back deer nnd sit down with the doctor."
