THE GOVERNOR'S OPPORTUNITY
GOVERNOR Sl'ROL'L hns a rciionlbil rciienlbil
Ity te the courts of the Commonwealth
which he is expected te face in manful fus
ion. 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-

Ultuents victimized by hw noxious bluff

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. On the bnnks of the Rie
Grande, proximity te nctualities has per
haps proved embarrassing. Besides, Kl
PitHiin sympathies were emphatically of the
V'illtsia peiurilnn. and new that the re
sourceful chieftain has been transmogrified
from Jesse dames into Rebin Heed the eon
sequent "lenservntlsm" has served as n
chyk en romance.
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.
It must be admitted that the Fellclstns

conduct of the Vera Cms uprising In 1010.
But the Obregon regime, with the "re

ing out the situation for Felix, have lntcly
been repressed In Tabasco, Vera Crua nnd

nbeve everything else the dlstnncc -crushing

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. That

iaijjiiiA.i ii. ANDREWS' name
tt almost a tradition te the
generation of political workers.
I menn the younger gtnerntlen who have
taken their plnce In tins Rcpuubllcnn ranks
within the Inst twenty years.
And yet, outside Sennter M. S. Quay,
lllinm II. 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. '
Only It wasn't n Commonwealth. It wns
n Territory.
"Bull" evidently forget he wns writing for
New Mexico instead of Pennsylvania, where
the phrefe would have applied.
Dl'NLAP. AT WATER & CO. were, fifty
years age, a produce commission' linn
doing business nt .S Seuth Wntcr street, this
city.
The firm wns composed of William II.
Dunlnp, Geerge W. Thompson and Jehn M.
Atwnter.
They dealt in everything from butter nnd
eggs te hickory nuts, whisky, wheat nnd
venison.
There came Inte my possession n few dnys
since n circular Issued by this firm en Feb
ruary 1, 180.
It was a price list which for at least fifty
years had reposed within the leaves of nil
old ledger of a defunct merchandising firm
in Western Pennsylvnnln. It was us fresh
in iippeurnnic ns though run off the press
lasr.,weck.
The quotations from this list are of par
ticular value at this time
They would srem te Indicate thnt the geed
old times of low prices hae really gene for
ever. That the world has entered upon net Tinly
n new era of thought, but a new era of
prices nnd merchandising.
This list wns Issued, tee, during our great
Civil Wnr, when prices should 'have been
expected te go censldernbly nbeve the
ordinary.
The circular shows nothing of the kind.
HERE nre a few suggestions te consigners
in the introduction te the price list e
obsolete that they cannot appeal te the

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They
Knew Best
OR. ROSS V. 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. Thnt this same condition
exists tndnv is shown by the fnct thnt in
this respect things nre net new in se sat sat
lsfnctery n stnte ns before the wnr.
"Less thnn twenty years age no country
in the world had se many physlcinns in
proportion te its population ns the Lnited
States, and we had ns many medical schools
iih nil the rest of the world together. High
water mark in this respect wns readied in
1004. when there were in the United Stntes
nbeut ltVTi medical schools with mere than
J0,00p students attending them.
Numbers Were Cut In Half
"When this numerical situation is com
pared with today it will be seen that both
the number of schools nnd the number of
students have been cut in half, and the drop
In the number of medlcnl students bus
hlightlv exceeded one-half. Today, there
nre eighty-three or eighty-four medlcnl
schools in the Untied Slutes. nnd of these,
only sixty-eight are thoroughly ncccptnble
In everv wny.
"This enormous falling off has been caused
by the very sudden uud greatly advanced
requirements for medical study Insisted
upon by the best medical colleges nnd by
the nlm'est equal advance in the matter of
licenses te practice medicine imposed by
the various State medical beards.
"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."
