What thief ever felt the halter draw,
with good opinion OF the lAws9"
Unconstitutional " Then how
does it happen that tie several
states Of the union have done pre-.
cisely the same thing2 And how
happens it that the one from which
the author of the resolution halls
said to his class, "you must hang
your little medicine .ags on the
wall and play doctor no more. "
From every cline beneath the sun

ritory to exercise their "constitu-
tioual" right OF dealing death to
the unprotected. But 10 the de.
stroyer is upon their track. Our
brother is cunning He suddenly
mounts astride the spine Nof an Al
lance and feign would spur it
through the gauntlet. But the
Alliance peremptorily asks him
to dismount. 1t respectfully de-
clines to be made the champion of
professional ignorance. The Ali.
ance is composed of intelligent
farmers who have suffered too
much at the hands of quackcry and
prayed too long for relief from vile
professional incompetency to now
listen with even pity to this death
wall. The law does not propose
to make a monopoly for "town
doctors" but to throttle every
quack in the country, whether he
be a graduate or not, and to make
room for competent physicians
and for competition, and the in
telligence of the country in every
line of business says amen. Grad
yates are compelled to undergo cx.
animation and prove their worth
iness to own diplomas.
This is not the first cry of class
legislation by charlatans, and this
brother is not the first to raise it.
Long before the state of Illinois
cast off her swaddling clothes and
became state, she raised the
standard of medical legislation and
year after year it has been adopted
by other states until to-day there
is left little or no pasture for this
particular and oft disconnected
animal. At every step the same
death wall has come up only to
die without an echo. fit be said
that some non-graduates are COM
petent TO practice medicine, the
Rnswer is, let such go at once and
graduate. But really, the truth
lies in the opposite direction. Not
only are all physicians without
diplomas but many who have
them from good schools, unfit
to handle the issues OF life and
death. In these days of ample
hospital facilities no man has any
moral right to engage in practice
without the sanction of a good
school which gives the pupil the
advantages of good hospital drill
for at least two years. 1t is upon
this idea that the law is framed.
II proposes to stop undergrad.
yates at once and compel those
who have diplomas to establish
their right TO them. ALLIANCE.

Regarding that Medical Law
IlaaOlutfnn

In a late issue Of The CHIEFrAIS
| see a resolution by an Alliance
member (at the so.called Alliance
meeting at Tahlequah) which is
hostile to the medical practice act
of last council. The presumption
is that the author is a quack
doctor, for such only have any
grievance with the law, and
such have always and everywhere
opposed reform in the profession.
He claimed that it is unconstitu.
tional and that ii is "class legis.
lation." With equal reason we
may say that the law addressed to
the thief, "thou shalt not steal +" s
class legislation and unconstitu.
tional. The same decalogue has
another law - "thou shalt not
kill" which / think Moses meant
for quack doctors; wonder il the
brother thinks that is constitu-
tional2 The Cherokee council has
originated nothing now but has
only declared the application of

tie CABIN creek, on the north by
the Frisco railroad, on the east by
Horse creek and on the south by
