HOW'S YOUR'S? ; There's really great interest in that case of Connell vs Ehmer, at Fond du Lac, Wis, to those of us still blessed, or cursed, with an appendix Dr. J. W. Ehmer is being sued by Dr. J. P. Cgnnell for slander, said slander growing out of the fact that Dr. Connell cut into the wrong side of a patient in searching for his ap pendix. Dr. Connell acknowledges that he sliced open the Wrong side and says he noticed his mistake and at once earved the other side. But hege he adds the tremendous an nouncement that it is not very unusual for a surgeon to open the wrong side of a patient in an operation for appendicitis The professional admission that operation for appendicitis is sort of an exploring expedition ought to make us sit up and take notice. So many of our physical troubles are being laid to appendicitis, nowadays, that to view operation as a) sort of general excavation must send shivers up and down the public spine.

THE CHAMBER AND THE PORT + Why is the Chamber of Commerce urging an increase of the port eommission from three to five? For the simple reason that, when tt started {ts campaign, last win- ter, before the legislature, the chamber hoped to contro! the appoint ments of the two extra commissioners, and thus also the port commis ‘sion. When {t started the campaign for two more port commissioners, the Chamber of Commerce had no idea that the question ought to be to the people's vote. It had its little plan to be have the ‘ re decide arbitrarily that the port of Seattle must have five ' members, and that the two extra commissioners should be appointed— “pot elected, mind you—by some superior court judge. Accordingly, Senator Col the chamber’s representative tn the fisiature, introduced such a bill. But Senator Dan Landon kicked a or two in {t, and secured the pas: of an amendment or two. The 3 amendment provided that the people, by a direct vote, and not the Chamber of Commerce itself, shall decidé whether there should be three or five members on the port commission. The second amendment d that {If the people decided to Increase the port commissioner. “hip. the port shall elect new men, instead of letting some judge appoint them. | | for an increase to five members, though {ts chances to control the com " thon comes up at the election of June 17 is that the Chamber of Com “merce had in mind, and perhaps still has, a plan to control the port commission. mance goes into effect about July Fourth. 9 Hee, hee!
