iVo Loophole, Mr.
The committee appointed by council to take up the extermination of tree pests reports that the city ias no funds for that purpose and that it can not go farther. The committee has doubtless inquired of the city attorney what the legal powers of the council are in this matter and has correctly reported the situation to the citizens. However, there is a difference between the strict interpretation of the law and a reasonable interpretation. We all know, that in cases which are not even an emergency, that moneys of cities, states, and the nation are applied under heads which originally did not have the meaning read into them. The entire interstate commerce legislation is built up on the provisions of the constitution, which obviously did not anticipate the growth of the nation nor the regulation of railroads. The city attorney has doubtless reported the strictly technical side of this legal question. Is there no loophole? We are not anxious that this money for spraying the trees come from the city treasury, but we are anxious that the trees shall b,e sprayed uniformly and effectively. If one man's trees are sprayed while those of his neighbor are neglected, , spraying is not of full benefit. Insects have very little knowledge of property lines and ownership. i In a city which can appropriate money for band concerts, and for art exhibitions, there ought to be some means of buying a sprayer for the protection of the trees of the city. We believe that by a serious effort to solve this situation that enough legal lumber can be found with which to build a structure of protection for the trees. Is there no loophole, Mr. Gardner?
He Got His.
President Taft has picked his campaign manager, his private secretary, Charles Hilles. The president regards him as responsible for his $ nomination. Mr. Hilles has his reward. He has been the secret agent j of the Taft family for some years. No one doubts that it was through Mr. Hilles' hands that the negotiations went on between Penrose, Barnes and Gugenheim on the one hand, and the patronage machine in the south on the other. We like to see a man get what he deserves. Both Mr. Hilles and Mr. Taft will probably get justice rfom the American people, particularly in those states where ninety fraudulent votes on the roll of the national Republican convention succeeded in overriding the choice of twelve states in which a direct primary was held, giving Mr. Roosevelt a plurality of 2,000,000. We feel rather sorry for Mr. Hilles, but he brought it on himself. The gentleman who distinguished his after life in Greek mythology by rolling a great weight up a hill only to have to start over again at the bottom has nothing on Hilles.
Overloading the Light Plant.
When two months ago the Palladium called attention to the unfairness and bad public policy which permits the patrons of the city light plant-to be the only ones who pay for the street lighting, we suggested that the time would not be far in the future when this would tell on the f- fortunes of the plant. , From any point of view the present situation is miserable. Mr. Nimrod Johnson, of the city light plant, needs no convincing on this subject. Both in public and in private he has objected to the course by which every patron of the city plant is made to pay for what the city should pay for. Every user of the Light, Heat & Power company's products escapes payment of city taxes for lighting the streets. If the city administration is really friendly to the city light plant, it will stop playing Into the hands of the Light, Heat & Power company. The great majority of the city light plant's customers use its product because of their patriotism and belief in municipal ownership. It must be a good plant, indeed, which can stand such mismanagement; it must be a very blind set of citizens who can not see the ultimate fate of the plant's business if it labors under such a handicap. Yesterday's announcement that the city light plant had lost a large manufacturing customer should put the question straight up to the city as to whether this vicious policy is to continue. i

A few weeks ago I read with much interest the address of Dr. Lawrence Littig, before the Iowa State Medical Society as printed in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the official organ of the medical profession in this country. Dr. Littig was not talking before the unlearned or untaught; rather to a body of serious-thinking, studious and truth-loving scientists. Again, quoting him, he states: "A well-equipped hospital laboratory is absolutely necessary: without it a hospital may be a boarding house for the sick: but it does not make for progress. Every case must be studied (through laboratory test, he means before and after the operation, and quoting from Dr. Murphy, one of the leading surgeons of the world, 'Let the record be shown as to what was done or found. " Again he pictures the difference between a hospital that has the outward appearance and one that has the essentials. This is all quite interesting. An appeal was made before the hospital investigating committee to "say nice things about the hospital" and that has and will be done. Everybody should go to the full limit in bestowing praise where it is merited, but in the instance of it in any essential department, and in such procedure as would prevent error involving life, when a missing but all-important link in the chain of good and modern service is evidenced, it becomes a duty to withhold approbation, insofar as there is defect. There lies at IJeid Memorial Hospital a most estimable and well-known woman, upon whom operation was duly considered and determined as necessary to conserve her chances of life. Every precaution AT HAND was supplied. But if the rule laid down in all "standard hospitals," and as demanded by Dr. Littig, had been in vogue at Reid, Memorial Hospital, the necessity of that operation would have been questioned, or at least further preparation for the operation would have been made, and greater chances of life conserved. When a consulting physician of high repute was called into the case he inquired into the laboratory findings. But one answer could be given: "Doctor, we have no laboratory here." And he took away to Indianapolis a sample of the patient's blood. Is a life in jeopardy because of our inadequacy? What a momentous question! A hospital laboratory can not be worked out in a day or a year. Five years ago it was proposed. But the obstacles, oh, the horrid obstacles! evidenced so often to the doctors, were still in evidence because THE POWERS THAT BE cared little for local medical opinion. And, reader, is it presumable that the doctors would have heart to work out that problem for the hospital, when no authority to have control of it would be granted? Take a retrospective view as to the training school for nurses, and remember the delays, doubts and misgivings of the board of trustees when the doctors pleaded for the privilege to found it, and when its history was told in five years of splendid work, without scandal or sign of inefficiency, suddenly it became so important that that board of trustees felt it incumbent to talte it over to themselves. Do you now presume that the doctors would be warranted in working out a laboratory or that other most needed adjunct, an X-ray department? And we quote again from Dr. Littig: "The hospital board is either too soundly asleep, or too actively engaged in intramural hostilities to think of by cork is unbroken.
the scientific side of hospital work." Some expressions have been given that these good things can not be effected here because the doctors might be "jealous" of each other. The word "jealous" is not used by REAL MEN AMONG MEN. Rather it U confined to children who play "ring-around-rosy" and sing "I know sumpin. but I won't tell," by silly maidens and those of mattirer years who carry the disposition down to their end. "Aint that the truth?" The voice of the medical MEN, who have time to think, study and ability to work out the scientific side of disease, and little time for political preference, and who supply at all times what modern science teaches, rings out for better conditions and they join Drs. Littig and Murphy, "Let the plain God's truth and the records be shown!" Will the city council and the mayor continue the anaesthetic? Does the mayor now think that an anaesthetic cures a rotten tooth? Or does he in frenzy of pain cry, out with the damned thing? The story has been told of the little gamin of Paris, who, as a drummerboy at the battle of Marengo, was ordered by his commander to beat a retreat. "Sire, my master never taught me how to beat a retreat; but I can beat a charge: I can beat a charge that will make the dead fall into line. Oh. let me beat it now!" The command was given to "beat a charge,'1 and the battle of Marengo was won. Are we to realize that "best administration the city ever had?" If we do, it will be because we have MEN in council who beat no retreat, but beat a charge for high standards, and who show something more than the calibre of children at play. MEDICUS.
