All of which confirms, this writer in the conviction that there is far too much hookum in. politics. Coyness, in a maiden, is a girl's birthright, and a man’s delight. But in seasoned men of public affairs, whose bashful days are long since over it is a form’ of political caprice that detracts from the dignity of ‘the individual and ‘the office. ~~ ; Neither President Roosevelt nor Governor Dewey should be blamed too much, perhaps, for ‘indulging in this shop worn artifice, because they ‘both. played conventional poker—and the public, for some strange reason, has been conditioned to expect this bit of bluffing at hold it against the players. But isn’t it about time that somebody demanded a change in the rules so that men wanting high public office can honestly say they want it, without having to make it appear that they are reluctantly acceading to public demand? “If the people command me to continue “in ‘this office” said Roosevelt. as the soldier has me leave his post in the line,” . Noble words, but the fact remaingy that the Democratic National Convention has been stacked by Roosevelt’s friends for Roosevelt’s nomination for months past. And similar-. ly, there was no doubt, when the Republican convention met in Chicago, that. the votes were “in the bag’’ for Dewey. even though the convention placards’ still read: “Draft.

The room is completely washed before and. aftér every operation-so’as‘to exclude any possible chance of contamination. All equipment. used in the operation must have first been sterilized and then carefully laid out on the different ‘tables. c Before the operation the patient ig completely prepared, which means the area, to be ‘worked on, so ag to prevent possible contomination from the patient himself.
