The Bee has always stood for the highest stsndards of medical practice, in early days- It, Tendered valuable service to tbe community by exposing and driving out a number of quacks and charlatans preying on the sick snd helpless, snd it was energetic in Its advocacy of legislation requiring medical practitioners to prove their qualifications before being licensed to pursue their profession. It has en couraged, and applauded likewise, every move to. raise the standard of medical education, and especially to Improve, facilities and Instruction offeree by our Own medical colleges. With these remarks as prelude, we wish .to draw a lesson from the state board statistics for It 10 compiled by the Council of Medical Education for the American Medical association, and recently made public. These figures, which deal with medical practice In all of the states, and particularly with the graduates of medical colleges, seem to us to prove conclusively that, while the law governing medical prac tice la Nebraska may compare favora bly with those of other states, the ap plication Is "generously lenient, If not woefully deficient. One table shows the number of phy sicians examined by state boards for five years last past with the number registered and rejected each year. In Nebraska In 1910 eighty applicants were examined by the state board, and not . single one rejected. No other state In the union has such a' scan dalous, record. In fact, no other state failed to find some of the applicants below standard, . except f Wyoming, where only ten sppllcants were ex amined. ' " , . Three medical colleges In Nebraska are listed In the statistical tables of the American Medical association. Fifty-two graduates of Creighton Med ical were examined for admission to practice during the year, only one ot whom failed, and ho was rejected -In tbe state ot , Florida. Sixteen gradu ates ot the University of -Nebraska medical department were examined, two of whom faded, one In Oregon and the other In Idaho. Fourteen gradu ates . of -the Lincoln Medical college were examined, one of whom . failed In Idaho,- Of the three colleges, sixty four graduates applied for admission to practice in Nebraska, and none ot them were, rejected. Does It stand to reason that tbe poorest equipped graduates all go to other states and ttat all who remain to practice in Nebraska are. fully up to requirement? Is it not. fair to con clude from the record that medical ex amination by the st$te board to prac tice in Nebraska has become a farce and'that 'when this Is scattered broad cast, as It Is by the report of the American Medical association,. It con stitutes an' Invitation for all the 'lame- ductabafcV try to hasten to this state where, they are assured, no one Is ever shut out? - As- a- whole,- the medical' profession of Nebraska Is far above the average. Its members 'Individually " maintain standards exceptionally high and cer tainly cannot be predlsppsed to let the bars down. The condition of affairs referred to, however, calls for some thing more than mere deprecation, and the situation wrjl ;. not . reform' itself unless the reputable physicians and surgeons throughout Nebraska bestir themselves in the Interest of some thing better. Statei Eiyht KediTimi. - A glorious revival of states' rights doctrine has been instituted, by Colonel George Harvey, of Harper's- Weekly, who suggests as a compromise on the direct election of United States sens tors a revised amendment providing that the senate be composed of two senators from each state "elected by the peqple or by the - legislature thereof as the people shall determine." Arguing that each state be allowed to elect Its senators In any way it sees fit. Colonel Harvey adds, "to enforce upon a sovereign state a method ob noxious to the people of that state is sa outrageous violation of the" spirit of our. Institutions and of the princi ple ,of hOme'role upon which our gov-, ernment stands." It was supposed that we had settled this states' rights business by. arbitra ment of war nearly fifty years ago, when the same Idea was possessing certain states that they be allowed not only to choose their senators as they saw fit, but to send them to rep resent them either In' the senate at Washington 'or In the confederate sen ste st Richmond. The 'federal con stitution declares that our president and vice president shall be chosen by electors appointed by the several states In such manner as the legisla tures thereof may' direct, reserving to congress, however, the right lo deter mine the time of choosing electors and fixing a uniform day for them to vote. In ths early days the legisla tures themselves named the electors as they saw fit, but no legislature would be permitted to do so now; There Is nO more reason why it would be obnoxious to the spirit of our Institutions to compel a so-called sovereign state to choose its represen tatives In the senate' by direct vote than to compel the same state to choose Its representatives In the else torsi college by .direct vote. The very essence ot equality la the senate would require that all the senators have not only, the same qualifications snd teaare, but also .derive their offi cial commissions la the same way aad from the aame eoarcev - It would, be. no more of "aa outrageous violation of the principle of home rule" to com pel the states to choose senators br Kpular vote than to compel them, as w have always compelled them, to choose members of the loner house by popular vote. The demand for direct election of Vnlted States senators is so strong thst It will not be contest with any half-way measures predicated on a surrender to tbe old states' rights theories of secession days. Booitinj and Knocking. In the course of a very Interesting editorial calling on the people of Den ver and Colorado to advertise the cli matic advantages of the city and state so as to Invite people from less fortu nate sections there for the summer season, the Denver Republican makes this notation: All that we can 'state la, that If Denver were tn receive one-tenth nf the advertis ing for Ita atractlveneen, for Its cnol, balmy nlshta, for Ita moral and physical cleanllneaa ' and; desire to be a modern American city, that it received a year " to so no further back, from tha Lindsay muckraJtlng brigade, today It would be a tented city unable to accomodate ths many thousands . flocking this way. The Republican Is in s measure cor rect, no doubt, about this. And right here It may not be out of place to say that the essential difference between the advertising of the knocker and the other fellow is that the knocker is usually looking out for No. 1, while the legitimate or genuine press agent has the prosperity of the city or, state at heart. The fellow who decries his city or state by bellowing out to the wona, an its Daa points magnified a thousandfold is not doing that. because he cares about boosting or bettering the community,, but because it com mends Itself to him as sn effective way of getting before the public. Denver is not alone In the misfor tune of havkng knockers within , Its limits. Nearly every city has them. Omaha has, been particularly un blessed with them. So we -are able to commiserate Denver. . . ' Occupational Diseases. ' The Illinois Commission on Occupa tional Diseases, discloses some Infor mation that ought to be of vital use in this general effort to improve health. It points, out with particular emphasis the need of wholesome con ditions for the employed, especially those In factory ' or mill. Ignorance of these conditions on the part of the employe and Indifference on the part of the employer are responsible for untold misery and misfortune, and it is the' duty of the state to attend to the matter, to see that this indiffer ence and Ignoranoe are -corrected. The average man' spends most of his time at his work and if he Is there amid uahealthful-eondlUons .lt is almost useless to think of him being a healthy man. '' ' ' - - . tfee' report of v the 'Illinois commis sion deals with only the most dagger-, OUS oeou nations. Ho nnwlinlum ,lsWr. choked wltbV'f umei gf metals or; affldsH ths report, states, that since the facts have been made known It Is difficult to get men to work there, and In most ot them only the ignorant, unskilled or helpless class will do so. Among these are many yosng men- from south ern European countries, and the re port is replete with instances of the most shameful Imposition upon these poor foreigners." . Never dreimlng of the danger of the poisons contained In ehemleals with which they come In contact, they lay themselves liable to deadly disease every day, and some of them forfeit their lives as the penalty of their Ignoranoe and their employ ers' indifference. - - But' In some of the higher occupa tions, such, as ; mechanical artists or retouchers, some 500 of whom are employed In Chicago, and are Intelli gent, educated people, the commission finds great need for .Its efforts. Men and women carelessly do things that Jeopardize their health there as else where. The work of the Illinois Com mission is but begun, but It Is enough to show the need of such work gen erally over the country.. We must have the most rigid inspection of this character to give effectiveness to our national good health propaganda. While looking out for the betterment of country, life, let us also give atten tion to the Improvement of city life. A Prime Peace Plan. The Outlook does well to urge upon cos cress the necessity of enacting a law giving to federal courts the power to protect aliens and punish wrongs inflicted upon them.,-The movement should be taken up and pressed vig orously from all parts ef the country. It is brought to attention through the action of the recent Mohonk Arbitra tion Conference which, through a com mittee composed of Senator Root,' Governor Baldwin of Connecticut and George W. KJrchwe'y, petitioned con gress t pass a measure of this char acter. As te Outicok ssys, sn ouaco of prevent k of international disputes Is better tiiau a po;nd of cure, and this would ine way tf preventing them. It is bU'aa tin.i r courts have not been so AwpuwttffcA years ago, partic ularly since so maay International dis putes have grown out of alleged mis treatment In this country of the sub jects of another. Before we may claim th most for our International arbitration plana we shall have to pro vide for this other deficiency. There would be -very much less to srbltrate It our courts possessed power of pro tection of aliens, that they should. It seems utter folly to talk of abolishing war so long. as we fall to abolish con ditions or possibilities of war. But this demand now Is nothing sew, As has been pointed out, four presidents 4a late years Harrison, Cleveland. McKlnley and Taft have recognised It and urged It upon cos grass, but thus far without results. Congress will act, probably, when the urging comes from the people directly and It Is mede to see that there Is a very earnest sentiment for such a law. Many cases coald be related where this government has been brought to the verge of war with other powers because some alien has suffered un justly at the hands of Americans, but there Is no space for that. President Taft has been more. ac tive In this respect than any of his predecessors and he doubtless will continue prodding congress, but tn the meantime If the people and the press of the country should take up the mat ter they could be of vital assistance to tbe chief executive In moving congress to action. Eiley, Field and Nye. -The fafHng health, of J. Whitcomb Riley recalls the friendship and pop ularity of "the American trinity of pathos, wit and humor," as Riley, Nye snd Field have been called. Bill Nye and Eugene Field are gone and Riley, It is feared, may not linger long now. These men knew each other and loved each other, which was not strange, since in their art; and their habits they had so much In common. The commonest thing of all was their .in tense human nature. They dwelt in their lines not alone upon the homely objects and subjects of life, but in their lighter hours ot rest they found pleasure in' the same pastimes. Riley and Nye had formed an inti mate friendship and. It Is said, that not a great while before Nye's pathetlo ending the two old friends had disa greed. It could not have been seri ous, though, or lasting, for these lines from Riley that preface one of Nye's books shows that .the old spark of affectionate friendship lived In the In diana poet's bresst after' his lank old friend bad gone to his reward: Ot William In thy blithe companionship. What liberty Is mine what sweet release Prom olamoroua strife, and yet what boia- : tarous peevoaf. . , Ho, ho, It Is thy fancy's finger-tip That dints tha dimple now, aad kinks the Hp.

Only because thou jokeet rarwell. All of these -men have - bad their hand in Journalism. Nye' and Field, Indeed, pursued newspaper work. for long years and were much In this western ;: country . together, "it . is doubtful If one generation has pro duced . three mta" much , akin ,' In many ways ss these three, whose quite brief stay-here is brought to mtnd in thVlpesa bTRUV, .perhaps &saiost noted of aJl, - - - -. - y i, ' ' V '.. Merf er Valus IntanDlo. ' The commissioner ,,6f corporations strikes a responsive popular chord when" he insists upon computing Steel trust -profits upon a tangible property valaatloa aad not a merger value. The trust will, doubtless clalni a merger value In defining, Its book; valuation, Mr. Bmith thinks. But the govern ment could not afford to accept the merger value without Justifying , the merger. Furthermore, ' It could not get st the actual profits that way, for the merger value Is not tangible. To Justify it, 'and therefore the merger, would stultify the whole proceedings ot the government st the outset It is enough that this corporation has been permitted to form a combine In the most Important Industry In the world, let alone allowing it credit for a merger value of Its holdings oa which to reckon profits. - If the gov ernment were to permit that" it might as well drop the whole action where it Is. Yet, undoubtedly, this will be one of the crucial . points In the coming court tight, t Notwithstanding all that has been published tn the course of the Steel trust's campaign to beat down the Im pression of swollen fortunes accruing from the Industry, the government's investigation as shown In this report discloses a. yearly1 average profit of II per. cent on the Investment for a period of . ten years on the basts of tangible property ' valuation. This, most people will admit. Is a liberal return for money Invested. And yet It probably does not represent sll the earnings, for, aa the commissioner shews, a greet deal ef unworked prop erty U held by the trust, showing that dividends from actually paying prop erties mast exceed this average. Catching the Crowd. The test ef a public man's success with the people Is his ability to hold their respect and confidence, not sim ply to cstch. tbe crowd. A men may ba severely criticised for some indi vidual act, but no single act la to form the basis of popular Judgment The man who wears with the people Is the man worth while, the man who serves the people best and whose public words and deeds, will bear the scrutiny of time, it Is no Indictment ot a man's sincerity or, quality of Intellect for him to possess ths knack of catch ing ths fancy of those to whom he speaks, whether from the rostrum or through the press. Indeed, that I a very necesssry accomplishment these days. But it la aa Indictment of him when he seeks no more thaa te gala superficial popular approval for purely selfish ends. ' The people may be taken off their feet for the moment by an apt phrase, but they caanot bA kept off their feet by one. They may applaud' the elc- quence of a demagogue at first, but they will after a while find him out and reject him. The people- are ulti mately correct in the application of their own test. They often act by Impulse and with error, but they al ways come back finally to a sober Judgment, and then comes the reckon ing for those who have played upon their credulity. The grandstand man succeeds but for a day. Sooner or later popular opinion will unmask him and force him off the stage. Mr. Barnum was only part right when he said the American people like to be fooled. The American peo ple have sometimes seemed to think they liked to be fooled, but generally when they wake up to the realisation that they have been fooled It goes hard with the impostor. The St Louis Times says "Hell hath no fury like a Kansas day," snd to prove Its contention cites a few weather statistics. , For instance, the temperature at fourteen Kansas towns on the same day, showed a mean (no word In the language Is so significant) temperature of 109 plus.. The. maxi mum was 116 and the minimum 101. Then ask 'What's the matter with Kansas!" Mr. Bryan's Commoner slurs "the hired men" on the Houston Post and the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Does it forget that at the time he was first nominated for, president Mr. Bryan was a "hired man" on a newspaper, filling a place bought for him by a subsidy of silver bulllonalre's money? i rr the Pnblfo Good.

VACATION TIME, The Aaaaal Rash for Reoreatloa aad Tata are. New Tork Tribune. Th crops, th business outlook, th trust casea, politic all these ar topics of conversation still: but th question of real importance at this season Is, "Where ar you going to spend your vacation T" It la aeked with genuine Interest'; it is answered with enthusiasm born of visions of leisurely mornings and restful after noons, of ebllylon of th dally round, of sunahlna and leafy nooks, of hammocks and fishing rods aad golf sticks, of lastly floating ean, perhaps, and filled sails, of long stretoh of clean sand and whit sea spray or of ths majeaty ef mountains: It Is perhap th moat vital ' question which th busiest nation en earth Is an nually called upon to aettl. Upon ' th wisdom of th answer depends ur undi minished efficiency, our ability to con tinue with renewed vitality th struggle for life and progress.
