It was just about 106 years ago that the first issue of the Lancet appeared, produced in a fit of rage by an ob- scure physician named Thomas Wak- ley. At the time it seemed destined to have no more important destiny than the scores of pamphlets which then flooded London, but it has grown into a venerable journal, whose opin- ions are received with respect throughout the whole world of medi- cine. One remarkable thing about it is that it was not only owned, but edited by three generations of Wak- leys, Sir Squire himself being the only one not a member of the family to occupy the chair. That chair lit- erally was the chair in which the original Wakley sat as he poured out the gall and wormwood of his nature upon the medical profession a hun- dred years ago, and some of the furn- iture of his dining -room continues to grace the editorial offices. Wakley was a young doctor with- out influence and without hope of ever being anything more than an obscure and drudging member of his profes- sion. Irrespective of a medical stud- ent's ability in those days, he could never hope to advance if he did not have the money to pay his seniors for special instruction, for they would tell him no more than they had to. The favored ones were those with money to spend for special tuition or the relatives or friends of the instruc- tors. Medical knowledge, compared with present standards, was primitive. indeed, but the instructors were a- mong the best men of their day and they had the popper almost to make or break a young student or the young doctor after he had ceased to be a student and had struggled through to a humble degree. Young Wakley saw fellow -students of far less natur- aI capacity passing brilliant examin- ations and then grandly proceeding to lucrative practices, and his heart was sore within him. But he took a step that many another young doctor has found to be the first to a career of distinction when he married a girl with money. Her family assisted the young couple to start up in a hand- some home, richly furnished and with every prospect of success. Then disaster fell upon them. Their house was burned, their furniture de- stroyed and Wakley himself savagely beaten. For a long time there was considerable mystery hanging about these outrages, but eventually it was learned Wakley was suspected of be- ing the masked executioner of a popu- lar murderer of the day, whose friends had sought to avenge him. The in- surance companies refused to pay for the loss of house and furniture and insisted that it was impossible that a young doctor like Wakley should have been the possessor of such valuable furniture as was claimed. Litigation eventually decided in Wakley's favor, but by the time law costs had eaten into the amount he recovered, and he had to move into more modest quar- ters. It was then with a sense of in- jury strong upon him that he con- ceived the notion of The Lancet. He announced that he would issue a journal which should give the news of the rpedical world, and especially pnbl" h reports of the metropolitan , lecturers, together with a .cgrrect description of any anipos ret cases that might turn up. The first few issues were 'tame enough, although the paper was pop- B[adall err We Ge ellieved Pleasant Home Treatment Works Fine; Used by Doctor for Many Years.

There were plenty of abuses for Wakley to attack, and he was able to make his paper about the liveliest. •leading in London. it was read not only by the profession but by the general public, and in the numerous libel actiops brought against Wakley his expenses in every case were defrayed by popu- lar subscription. On one occasion he accused a doctor of murder because his patient had expired on the oper- ating table. He tackled the Royal College of Surgeons, exposing it as a close corporation full of grafters, and was consequently expelled from mem- bership. After many years of this kind of warfare Wakley revealed another side of ,his character. He was elected to Parliament and there proceeded in the wisest and calmest manner to draw up bills for the remedying of current abuses and the general good of the profession. Here he was the constructive critic and the acknowl- edged expert. Not many of his bills passed as he framed them but prac- tically all his ideas were adopt,.-.;• oy the Go rernment and he was really the father of the Medical Act under which the medical profession in Great Britain functions to -day. After ex- posing what abuses it could find and improving the general education • of the medical profession, The Lancet proceeded by means of vraiouscom- missions to aid the public health. It has been responsible for most of the acts against the adulteration of food and other sanitary offences, and has been, conspicuous iIn . raising publitc funds for voluntary hospitals. It may seem odd that so much good has followed an enterprise launched in a fit of anger, but we should not be surprised if the truth were told that strong feeling of some kind has been the impetus for most successful car- eers. In this category we believe that the Toronto Hospital For Sick Chil- dren might be included.

VANZE1TI INNOCENT' OF BRIDGEWATER CRIME Evidence has been brought to light by the Outlpok and Independent which convinces the editors that Bart- elomeo Vanzetti was innocent of the attempted robbery of the payroll of the L. Q. White shoe factory in Bridgeburg, Mass., on December 24, 1919. It was not for this crime that Vanzetti and Sacco were put to death last year, but it was for this crime that they were arrested. Vanzetti himself regarded it as an important part of the case against him, and be- lieved that if he and Sacco had not been in the hands of the police, ac- cused of the attempted robbery, no- body would have thought of trying to pin on them the most resperate crime at Braintree for which they eventually went to the electric chair. The theory of the Oatlook invest0 gators is that) the police arrester the wrong men for the Bridgewater erime, but that they were deterenikaed to railroad them because they were avowed Communists and thus regard- ed as enemies of the people. By se- curing a conviction against Vanzetti for the Bridgewater crime they brought him into court on the graver charge with •a bad record. No doubt the jurors saw in Vanzetti, not an Italian with a clean record, but an anarchist already convicted of one daring crime and presumably capable of another. The Outlook, like other publications was by no means satisfied that jus- tice had been done these Italians, and was ready to finanee,an independent investigation when opportunity arose. This came about when Jack Callaharp, formerly a bank robber, who has fol- lowed the primrose path to where it ends N; the swamp of aathorship, came to Silas Bent, a well-known newspaperman, for some literary ad - °vice. In the course of, the conversa- tion the Sacco -Vanzetti ease was men- tioned and Callahan expressed the opinion, speaking as a connoisseur, that the Bridgewater and South Braintree crimes were committed by different gangs, and also that the 1 aliens lied not been implicated. He even said that gossip had reached him. from the underworld of vu'Idoh he was once an ornament that other Men who were kre #n, had committed these crimes. Bent asked him if he would accept a commission to investigate. fia agreed, and for nine months work- ed on the case. In the end he round- ed np este• Prank Silva Who made a' confession Which the Outlook ptxb• lisfhes iii its; +ctxrxent issue.

He was only paid after the Outlook had checked his confeceion and come to the con- clusion that it was true. Silva is a criminal, not only by his own admission, but by his record of convictions. Like the others in the gang, he is an Italian, and worked in the White factory for a time. But work did not suit him and he went to Boston, where he fell into the hab- it of hanging around the resort of Jimmie Mede, which was a hangout for criminals who carried out the plans of Mede. One day he told Mede that he needed some money,. and asked to be included in any job that was on foot. The idea of rob- bing the White Company of its pay- roll was discussed because Silva knew something about how the money was handled. So he and Mede and Joe San Marco went to look the scene over. That was in 1917, and before they could devise a plan or put it in- to execution Mede was arrested, and his companions waited until his re- lease. Then came the war and the corrupt partnership was dissolved for the time being. But in the Winter of 1919, Silva and San Marco met again. Both were broke, and the idea of going on with the White pay- roll job was revived. This time they did not include Mede but accepted two other Italians as partners, "Dogg'y" Druno and trfnea Oates. They visited Bridge- water several timers in Oate's ear, and finally early on the morning hefore 'Christmas, they rode out to get the payroll. Their scheme was to back their car in front of the truck carry- -ing the guarded payroll, open fire with a sawed-off shot gun and re- volvers, seize the money and escape. But they behaved like the veriest nov- ices. 'When they challenged the truck driver, he simply put on more speed, circled the robbers' car and got clear. Shots were exchanged, but the sud- den appearance of a trolley car which passed between 'I he truck and the rob- bers prevented them doing any dam- age until it was too late. The frus- trated robbers then fled, and did not again see each other. Silvia was ar- rested for another crime and sent to jail. 'San Marco ;committed murder and is serving a life sentence. Bruno is supposed to be in a New York pen- itentiary. Where Oates is Silva does rot know. San Marco has since been inter- viewed and he denies Silva's story, and one can only speculate as to what reasons Marco might have for ar- finning or denying. The Outlook presents several facts which tend to prove that Silva is telling the truth, for while the scene of the crime has been greatly altered in the past nine year, investigation showed that build- ings, as he described them, were standing at the time of the crime, and that although there are now no street cars running where the crime was staged, there was a line there in 1919. Mede has confirmed Silva's story insofar as the earlier plot is concerned. We are likely to hear a good deal more about Silva's confes- sion until it is either rejected as spur- ious or accepted as truth. The fact that the publication had been mate when the American people are en- grossed in an election campaign will tend for a while to postpone discus- sion.
