from a like fate.

Hughe last night presided over and
made a speech at the firat session of
the Eisteddfod, the annual big gather
ing of the Welsh people of this section,
(iovernor Hughe Midi
"Let us tonight as we say goodbye to
the year 1U07 and to the duties and
responsibilities of the year 1908, resolve
each for ourselves, by the cultivating
that sense of honor and self respect
without which all ele fails, to make
poHde the realisation in this country
of ours, all those things whlcn our
father prized and to make citisenidiip
in this country of great advantage and
to mean wider importance and a fair
equalisation of benefit than it has ever
heretofore meant.
"We often made the mistake of sup
posing that government is everything.
My friends government is what the
men who govern put into It. Govern
ment is a system. The character of ad
ministration is that upon which the sue-
cp iu of governmental system must de
pend and the administration of govern
ment will reflect the ideas 'which the
community entertains in its ordinary
business and that quality of character
which it permit in the ordlnnry walks
of life. You cannot expect men to be
changed over any because they are
chosen to office. They are human beings
and will carry into office thoc ideas of
their duties to their fellow men and
those conceptions of what honor de
mands which they have heretofore en
tertained in their ordinary work. And
the one thing that we need more than
anything elite in this country is that
feeling on the part of every citizen of
self respect and devotion to the duties
which his particular place in life de- '
volve upon him, so that neither friend
ship nor a vh mice nor love of gain, por
opportunity to promote amibtion will
ever deflect him (from the course which
his own conscience tells him u right.
"Every man who is charged with the
responsibilities of public office should
feel his "duty is not to a boss or to a
ring or even to a pnrty, except as that
party serves the intercut of the entire
people.
"Mure than anything else we want to
Mirge administration of all efforts to
serve anv selfish interest, whether it is
political or capitalistic.
"The government is the government
of the people, ifor all eopte and there
should be no vesting or perversion in
the interest of any pnrticiilur part of
the people os opposed to the welfare of
the whole."

REVOLUTIONIZE MEDICINE.
Sound Vital Organs of Animals to be
Placed in Man.
CHICAGO, Jan. l.-Wedical science
soon is to accomplish the transfer of
sound vital organs and tissues from the
lower animals to man. The substitution
of healthy organs for the diseased parts
of the human body wil be made possible
through the new experimental surgery
nd vivisection, and will revolutionize
modern medicine. The successful trans-
( planting of arteries from one animal to
another is the first step towards this
end.
These are the conclusions drawn by
Prof. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research in a
paper on "Tendencies in Pathology,
written by him for presentation to thj
American Association for the 'Advance
ment f Science, and read yesterday be
for the Physiological Section of the So
ciety at the University of Chicago by
Prof. Ludvlg Hcktoen of the University.
Prof. Flexncr's paper also contained 'ac
counts of a series of experiments oa
rates and mice performed by himself
and his associates, leading to import
ant discoveries concerning the biological
conditions of tumor growth. Pathologi
cal problems have 'been enormously af
eetcd by recent experiments in vivisec
tion, according to the New York
scientist, .
