"M-I-Z-I-I-fr MRS. W00DR0W WILSON The door swings open and the American public now can understand, f iu part, what were the conditions of ; life of Woodrow Wilson from the day in 191D when he was stricken in tie far west until in 1924, he died in Washington. Much has been said of that tragic figure; much of the time it was constantly the object of public attention, and since the retirement of Mr. Wilson from the presidency, that lone figure has been in the pub lic consciousness. Now, however, there is revealed a personality which in its dignity, beauty and noble sim plicity causes a" thrill of pride for all Americans and sheds new luster on the glory of womanhood. In a singularly tragic way, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson has played a large part In the history of the country. Few persons ever will know to what extent her judgement, poise and tart influenced public affairs. It is cer tain that on numerous occasions she stood with her back to the door guarding the sick chamber against all who wished to intrude and look upon herself the sole responsibility for decisions. To a large extent, doubtless, these decisions were promped by her woman instinct and there is little room to doubt they al so were wise. There were times when this splen did southern woman, a true daugh ter of the old dominion, faced prob lems that would have puzzled the world's most skilled diplomats, and one can well imagine the righteous anger that must have seethed within her during those trying hours when she was literally forced to guard the White House doors against invasion by the snarling wolves of the sen ate, who, laboring under the delur-ion that the groat war president ws af flicted mentally as well as physically, sought to force themselves into his presence. Americans always have found great pride in the character and ac complishments of women who have plas'ed outstanding parts in the life of the country. There is nothing in the wondrous story of the republic which so thrills as do these chapters. Into that company, having performed with skill, tact tnd wisdom in mat ters of far reaching importance, with all modestly and unobtrusively, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson now enters. All the country is" proud of this woman of Virginia. :o: SMALL TOWN PROBLEM A week or so ago a well to do citi zen in an Ohio village offered thru the press to pay the expenses of a competent doctor to move to the vil lage, to pay his living expenses for a period of ten weeks while engaging in medical practice there, and to pay also the expense incident to moving away, if at the end of that period he did not choose to locate there per manently. Now comes the New York state board of health and announces that a village in that state is will ing to pay a competent doctor a bo nus of $C00 or $700 a year to locate in it. These are not isolated cases. The problem of securing proper medical service in the American vil lage and small town is a serious one. and one for which medical educa tional requirements are largely re sponsible. The medical course prescribed in our best medical schools Involves from two to four years pre-medical college preparation and four years of medical training proper. But when the young M. D. has completed this course covering from six to eight years, he is still regarded as unfit to enter practice immediately. He is advised, if not fequired, to take a year or two or three of internship In hospital, making the total period of preparation for the medical pro fession eight or ten years at best. The sacrifice of time and the ex penditure of money involved in so long a period of study are heavy, and the young, well equipped M. p. is impatient for income upon his in vestment. That he hesitates to go to the small village, even to the mod erately sized county seat is natural enough. Hospital facilities are ei ther lacking entirely, or are inade quate from the point of view of mod ern medical science; the opportuni ties for recognition and for prompt advancement are few, to say nothing of the comparative scales of remu Deration for medical service in city and country. As a result of these circumstances the medicnl profession in the rural communities is now undermanned, and as the present generation of country doctors dies or retires, the situation will become increasingly worse, if educational requirements remain as they now are and if medi cal opportunities continue to be lini ited in so large a degree to the large urban centers. Few would serious ly consider lowering education&l standards in order to supply the rural demand for medical service. A system of public bounties may be the only solution to the problem of equalizing competitive conditions in medical science between urban and rural communities. -:o: RAPPING THE JUDGES Down in North Carolina certain folks don't seem to have a great abiding reverence for the supreme court of the state. To them this tri bunal is no more infallible than the all-highest kaiser was in the days when he lived at home and didn't mess up the Dutch landscape. They don't mind caliug a judge "bullheaded." In fact, a great Tar heel daily so designates three of 'em in a row. Free speech is so abun dant in that section of the country that editors hurl it at the bench in great chunks. And, apparently, the judges dodge much after the man ner of the boys we used to engage in clod battles. The strange thing about it, however, is that they don't return the clods like the fellows we fought to a finish. If they do, the Tarheel daily omits that part of the picture. Here is the way a Raleigh corre spondent writes of a court opinion: "Chief Justice Clard dissents, but the court stands 4 to 1, as usual, against him. And, a3 usual, Justice Stacy, writes the majority opinion. Sena tor had hoped for Justice Clarkson, who has shown a natural tendency to travel with the eldest judge on the bench. But Justice Clarkson could find no more authority in the consti tution for overthrowing this act than the three bull-headed associates who sat on the case with him." Isn't that delightfully frank? It sounds like what we used to say to a good naturcd old uncle who didn't mind getting down on all fours for us to ride on his back while we pull ed end sawed on his beard as reins Of course, we could kick him in the side and refer to him in all sorts of endearing young terms, and y he would only laugh and say, "Oh, well, ain't the children cute!" Personally, we have great respect for judges. That respect may not be based on any high and holy ground, but it is there, nevertheless. Most judges seem to us to possess a mysti cal, repellant force that is likely to shove a fellow relentlessly toward the jailhouse If he doesn't mind his p's and q -o:o- A LOSS IN EQUAL RIGHTS The equal rights amendment spon sored by the National Woman's par ty has created some interesting dif ferences of opinion among women leaders and women's organizations- of the country. The amendment. which is now before congress and on which public hearings have been held by a senate committee, calls for constitutional prohibition of all legal and civil disabilities of women. Its opponents seeit as a "blanket pro posal," full of possible harm to wom en, particularly those in industrv. while its advocates regard It as a charter of liberty in keeping with American principles of government. Opposition to the proposal has been vigorous and has left the original sponsors of it in the apparent posi tion of spokesmen of a small minor ity of American women. The oppo nents include women's labor organi zations and a dozen national groups of women, such as the General Fed eration of Women's clubs, the Amer ican Federation of Teachers and the Y. W. C. A. They declare passage of the amendment would mean loss of everything women have gained in industry in decades of legislative ef fort; that it would mean wiping out of minimum wage laws restrictions on night work and excessive hours for women and many other protect ive measures now thrown about women workers. They insist there can be no equality of women in in dustry under present conditions. Friends of the proposal point to the legal restrictions on women in the holding of property and public office and exercise of other rights in the-various states. They see a na tional move as the only effective means of changing these conditions. The answer of the opponents is that the women have the vote in all the states and that state action is all that is required in removing the dis abilities which action they favor. If congress finds time to give ex tended attention to this question it will no doubt have ample material for extended debate. In view of tho traditional course of proposed amendments, however, it is question able whether anything Jess than a united and persistent demand for this change on the part of the wom en of America would assure its final adoption. :r DOG LOST Yellow and brown Shepherd dog lost somewhere in Plattsmouth.
