DENTISTRY IN ronro RICO.

New York. July ga special 10 the
Tines from Washington says: subject
which is likely to arouse active interest
In tho dental fraternity OF the United State5
has been laid before the war department
by Dr. A. w. swoeny of this city. The
question arose at the recent meeting OF the
New Jersey Dental association whether
the regulations now enforced In Porto Rico
regarding deststry does injury to the es-
tablished dentists there. DR.. Julio Lamott,
who grew up In The office of his brother
there and had been practieing for nearly
ten years, was recently notified that he
mist suspend practice because his eduea-
ton did not conform to the requirements
OF the laws.
DR.. Lamolt and DR.. Sweeny have mol
yet been able 10 ascertain whether the law
under which the former was excluded from
practice was an Old Spanish law or an
American edlct II IL was a Spanish law
Il is one which has not been enforced,
and II 1t is a new enactment II Is consid-
cred unjust to make 1t retroactive. There
seems to be no question OF the professional
qualifications OF DR.. Lamott.
According to the vague hints OF the war
department on the subject. an American
diploma from a university is required. Dr..
Sweeny pointed out IN his talk at the war
department that the enforcement Of re-
troactiye law was contrary to the rule fol
lowed In every American State when sys-
TENS OF dental examination and regstra-
tion were established The 4subiect was

WHAT WILL II BE ?

Tonight at Council meeting ths
question Of furnishing the city
with stone for the streets (knapped
or crushed) is to be considered.
In this connection will be regarded
the quality of stone, its ware on
the street, its economy to the city
and the grade of street it makes.
Having given some attention to
this matter we would say, first a
stone of uniform size to be placed
on the road-bed, followed by one
Of smaller size and still another
much smaller, so that when wa
tered and rolled it becomes a &C.
ment of layers, and makes one OF
the best roads both for travel and
durability. The question then
arises, by whom can we have such
work done and at what cost? The
Council will know it to be the
best. We can answer the ques-
ton as to who would do this work.
Mr.. c. c. Thompson has crush
er and is negotiating for a
road roller, which he will pur.
chase in the event the furnishing
Of stone for the, streets is awarded
him. By the crushing and roll.
ing process we would have
smooth, even and slightly streets.
We, like other citizens. want the
very best streets that the city can
pay for, and believe the Council
will do the right thing.

Save the Dispatch.

1t is very unfortunate both for the
paper and the party it was started to
represent, that the Louisville Dispatch
should be discredited now when il
might do the most good. The arraign-
ment OF it's management by ex-Editor
Euloe for its alleged seIl-out to the
corporations TO be used as a tool of the
money powers. followed by the reso-
buttons of the Bandana Club of Louis
vile, condemning the paper and repu-
dating its managers, will seriously
handicap it, for whether the charges
of sell-out can be maintained or not,
they cripple its business and destroy
its usefulness Il new deal and new
management, with no shadow of sus-
picion, alone can save it from wreck
and ruin and thorough reputation
by Democrats. = Stanford Interior

At a subsequent interview with

Of the others, and Judge Jones, of
Glasgow, also one Of the directors
after closely questioning Carter as
to where the money was to come
from to pay the $4,000 Of the
company's bonds he was demand
ing, and getting no satisfaction
from him, unhesitatingly declared
that he was convinced that the
paper was about to be turned over
to corporate influences most hos
tile to the Democratic party.
But the board of directors, as
then constituted, refused to issue
the bonds to Carter unless he
would tell from whence the money
came and refused to permit him to
change the policy of the paper
and begin series of attacks upon
