DOCTORS AND ADVERTISIBG
The Lane county phycicians have passed resolutions dis
countenancing all kinds of advertising in the newspapers, even'
to the mention of a physician’s or surgeon’s name in connection
with an operation or case of illness. Nobody outside of the pro
fession can reasonably object to this action on the part of the
association, since it is assumed that the extremely modest and
retiring members thereof know what they want, or, in this case,
what they don’t warft, and it really concerns the public very
little. Duly apologizing for “butting in” The Guard recalls an
article on the subject printed in an exchange some time ago in
which it was asserted that the strictly “ethical’’ physician is
the only business man who deems it disgraceful to advertise
what he has for sale. He has skill and professional knowledge
in stock, but he refuses to inform the public of the fact. How
long would any other business last if it were conducted on that
principle?
To relinquish the advantages of advertising to the so-called
“quacks” is merely to give the specialists the tremendous ben
efits derived from judicious publicity. In nearly all other lines
of business than medicine there is the keenest rivalry in the
matter of advertising. In that profession men reprehend what
nearly all other business men deem vital in the conduct of their
business.
It is encouraging to note that there are signs of an awaken
ing even among the “ethical” physicians in other cities. In his
address before the Illinois Medical Society at Rockford, Dr.
Percy, of Galesburg, the president, recognized the situation.
“We must change our attitude toward the public on the sub
ject of advertising,” he said. “The irregn’ars use the press ex
tensively, and they educate the public to the injury of all real
scientific advance. We must use the same means to forward
the true aims and objects of science.” Dr. Percy, in short, does
not believe that it is wise to leave the devil in control of the
good music.
,
When his confreres make up their minds to accept and ex
emplify his views there will be less talk of “advertising quacks.”
When advertising ceases to be stigmatized as quackery—which
it is not—physicians will employ the same mediums of publicity
that are used by other men and will profit by them.
FAME IS TRANSITORY
It is not pleasant to contemplate the evanescence of fame.
It makes one shudder to think of the sacrilege of grinding the
mummey of some ancient Egyptian king into powder to be used
as a pigment or Caesar's body, “turned to clay,” used to close
a bunghole. It gives a shock to one's bump of reverence to see
a gown that once adorned some world-famous queen dragged
over the rough boards of a stage by some cheap actress. The
sale of a great man s personal effects is sadder and more de
pressing than his funeral.
Sentimentalism is not a prominent American characteristic.
A peat man may die, his death may mean a great loss to the
country or to the world in general, but beyond the passing of
memorial resolutions and more or less pomp displayed at his
funeral, the American public pays no further tribute to his mem
ory. In some cases a monument is erected “in honor'' of the
great departed, provided he had been a general, a governor or a
distinguished politician.
Little else counts and even in such
cases the erection of a monument is considered compensation in
full for everything of merit the deceased may have done for his
country.
The other day the personal effects of Edwin Booth, includ
ing a large quantity of stage costumes which he had worn during
his long and honorable career, were sold at auction in one of the
fashionable auction rooms on Fifth avenue. New oYrk City. The
things were sold by order of Mrs. Edwina Booth-Grossman, the
daughter of Edwin Booth, who probably needed ready cash more
than a lot of old costumes and still older bric-a-brac, the princi
pal value of which consisted in the intimate association with her
great and lamented father. Mrs. Grossman may not be to blame
for this apparent lack of filial veneration for her father s mem
ory, yet the idea of the auction sale is shocking and repulsive to
finer sensibilities. “Sic transit gloria mundi."
PLAY THE GAME AT HOME
The University faculty is right in demanding that the annual
U. of O.-O. A. C. game be played on the campus of the respec
tive colleges. While either team might with propriety and to
its financial advantage meet the Idaho and Washington teams
on the Portland field, pride in the two big state institutions and
the cities they are located in should demand the playing of the
one really great game on the college campus. To take it to Port
land merely for the purpose of swelling the gate receipts is sure
in time to be detrimental to the student body spirit, and further
more the gambling instinct is given full sway, as was the case in
the late game at Portland, where the students and their friends,
backing the losing team, lost heavily, much of it ot the “profes
sional" gamblers of the city. On the college campus this evil
may be curbed and reduced to the minimum, as it most certain
ly should be. However, the Corvallis sentiment seems to be in
favor of Portland, as the following very unkind and ungentle-
manly comment of the Times of that city would indicate:

It is strange how mortally afraid some people seem to be of
“tainted” money. In olden times people were a great deal more
philosophical about this matter. “Non olet,” said the Roman
statesmen, and they took money wherever they could extort it.
Congresman-elect Wiley, of New Jersey, seems to be particular
ly afraid of contamination by coming in contact with “tainted"
greenbacks or yellowbacks. He proposes to introduce a bill in
congress providing that all used bills returned to the United
States treasury for redemption be destroyed and new bills be
issued in their place. Standard Oil money should be disinfected
before it is turned over to the treasury. It might become a
source of great danger to official circles in Washington.
Somebody will be suspecting Major Squier, of tne signal
corps, of being more bloodthirsty than Hobson, if he continues
to express regret that this was the only power at The Hague

of explosives from balloons in time of war.
