SWEEPING CHARGES This comment has nothing at all to do with the merits or otherwise of waccination. People are entitled to #helr opinion regarding it as well as regarding other subjects. The sole reason for ghis comment 1s a desire to emphasize the fact that no one has a right to make sweeping charges against any class of men, dog- tors, merchants, lawyers or day la borers, including them all in his con- demnation. An editorial identical with this might well be written had someone accused all the 'members of congress, many of whom are lawyers, of passing laws merely for the purposc of making more business for lawyers. It happens to be the physisians who are accused at the moment. By stating publicly, as one individual is reported to have done, that compulsory vac- cination is the result solely of the physicians’ attempt to "make more money, the accusation 1s made that every physiclan who favors compul- sory vaccination is nothing more nor less than a scoundrel who favors a move to use human beings, whether to their benefit or hurt, for his own selfish purposes, Let it be granted, if necessary, that there are in existence doctors who are | 45 14 giseases aftlicting children and | shatched. gd of such a law because it may mean added business for them, We by no means admit this, but let it be as. sumed. Granted that there may be | arguments sincerely advanced against compulsory vaccination. Granted these things, and yet there are few men and women in this country today who be- leve that many physiclans, men de- voting their lives to healing the sick,” would countenance for a minute the prostitution of their profession to the point of compelling people to do something they did not want to do were it not for an honest conviction that in this way only can a dreaded disease be overcome, We believe thoroughly free speech, and that much more harm is done by trying to stifle the “argu ments” of. men of radical ideas than there is by allowing them to have they say. The attitude of a martyr appeals to many. We that nothing can be lost by hearing both wides of a question, do not belleva that a thing s right merely because it is generally accepted to be right. But we do have faith in the honesty and sincerity of the great mass of the people of the country, and we have especial faith in devote their Hves to the car of the body and whose ardent desire is to alleviate suf. fering, to cure discasc, declares they are all party to a vile movement to smirch their by advocating laws merely for selfish in believe and we men whe The man who profession reasons has prejudiced his case before he utters another word, WAR MOTHERS STIL Tt seems that the ternational association like the ddea of having the American War Mothers continue thelr active intercst In former service men in service Mothors does not Ay in- men and the tional organizition has misundcrstopd present or eixe interna- entirely the plan of the American War | mothers to nations nation-wide Day which falls on Jowing At sociation hins denounced the plan, and the American W ha quiietly Lut firmly - interference A Mothers witl 1 United one of th Jost their sons in e the feeling still that they the sake Who have dicd—their boys fog War Mothers, working for the wel- el sieres and car- May houto on Saturday, 19, in a ohser f Mother's the Sunday fol- any rate the international as Mothers a American War e r € h ople of the Stutes behind em—every M.

Every publicity organ seizes upon some practical discovery that will enrich the world, and makes edi- | torial comment thercon. The romance ' combined with its other interesting features, of the flight around the globe now being undertaken is the. inspira- : tion for continual comment, And all the time science is working on, quictly, steadfastly, obliyious of | the fact that little notice is J [ as she fights to overcome many of the human handicaps imposed by suffering | 'and death. And yet these are the greatest discoveries of all. Nothing | short of indefinite perpetuation of life is of greater importance than the . newly found cures of discases which have long been considered incurable; nothing is more deserving of comment | and upstinted emphasis than the find- 1ing of a way to pervent suffering—to stave off death a little longer. | Day after day come reports of won- ! derful new cures. They are discount- ed for the most part because those claiming to have discovered them do not have the authority of achievement back of them. In today's news, how- ever, there comes data concerning new | cures, announced by the voice of| one having authority because his own work has given him t authori- | ty. What he says about disease and | cures therefore is regarded as worthy | of confidence, That man 18 Dr, William | J. Mayo, of Rochester, Minn,, and the cures he announces are not his own | but are the discoveries of Dr. John Hunter, a young professor of anatomy in the University of Sidney, Australia. | In two of these cures we are es- pectally interested, applying as they | ven her | at some of the disabled of the late war. Of them Dr. Mayo speaks thus: | Among the diskoveries is & | treatinent for spastic paraplegia, an affiiction common among world war veterans, caused by in- Jury to the brain, Dr. Mayo de- clared, Another is Littlc's disease, found in certain forms among children who cannot control their movements, A third is for cer- tain Parkinsonian syndromes, al- lied to shaking palsy, To these words he adds his com- | ment that they are “astonishing.” And so.science labors on to the everlasting benefit of all of us, ! orn LAR Two items of world news interest us vitally today and are not dissociat- ed, One is the apparent victory in Germany of the coalition which 'is pledged to the Dawes report, and the other is the forced renewal of activity in regard to the World Court, As to Germany there has been a great fear on the part of those who dreaded the influence and the growing strength of the Nationalists and the | Communists that this influence would weaken the combination of the Soclal- ist, Clerical, Democratic and People’s parties—the combination out of which | the present government was formed. The returns of the elections, however, | while showing: increased strength of the makes it appear that the combination referred to will command A sufficient majority to put the pro- visions of the Dawes report into exe- | ationalists'and Communist successful cution, Ineidentally it is good to note that Ludendotfi’s extreme teactionar- fes did the strength they antieipated, 1t is possible to picture not show snch arrogant leaders os Ludendorfl utterly astonished and bewildered at the “presumption” of the German peo- ple The people, in their sight, have no right to raise their voices in protest against in not following their lead anything or 16 speak a word that wil influence those born, according to such q, until these men die lenders' erced, to rule. Quite probably will that ultras radicalism cease to exist in Germany. In the meantime slow progress is being at lines of least on the surface, along understanding of what Not even now do made, the temocracy the people customed means, that country, long ac- to subservience (o “their superiors” realize that self assertion wowld result in their having no “sh- their own at 1" firet returns indicate periors” in conmtry, least theoretically. this election continues as the a great step wilf have been made n trust and does not betray confidence placed in her. | The World Court has again forced to the attentign of those to whom the | late President Harding's words were! directed when he left upon mnlghersf of his party the duty of urging the participation of the United States in | it. True, the probabilities are that the | foreign relations sub-committee will | recommend that the proposed partici- | pation of this country in the court be | limited by an amendment providing “that the United States shall agree with the countries supporting the court that the court shall be divorced from | the league; and true that the senate will probably refuse to accept the plan even with such neediess amend- | ment. But nevertheless sueh leaders as Senator Lodge have heard plainly | allegations coming from persons In authority and backed by constderable evidence, that the republican slump | of 1922 was the result of “angry dis- appointment” that the administration | had made no move for either an as- sociation ‘of ‘nations, or International | court. The falling off of the republi- | can vote in Massachusetts from .404,- 000 to 7,000 plurality, was cited as indicating that 1922 slump. As the news from Germany cheers with the thought that the political | combination pledged to the Dawes re- | port is successful, so this news cheers, that the administration in this country can not long remain indifferent to the growing demand for action in regard | to this matter of profound importance —1the entry of this country into the! World Court—a step the value of which has been publicly recognized by administration leaders as they make the gesture only toward the world peace and understanding.
