THE PSYCHOLOGISTS.
DR.. Edward j.. HIS Paper on "The
Rights Of the Unborn"

The Century Club room. at the Denison
Hotel. was filed with physicians yesterday
during the session of the American Acso-
citation of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Last night the annual dinner was served.
To-day officers will be elected for the en-
suing year.
Among the addresses delivered was one
by DR.. Edward ]. Ill. of Newark, N. j., on
1.-The Rights of the Unborn He attacked
the practice Of abortion. and said it was
performed on the slightest basis. The
deaths of the unborn legitimately caused by
physicians would ever remain a sign of
akn of an otherwise noble and hu-
name profession. Abortion should never be
done except to save life. he said. and social
disgrace was no reason for the murder Of
the defenseless. He continued that though
1t was not the province of the physician to
attend the morals OF the patient, still 1t was
his duty to point out the relations between
immortality and disease, especially In the
matter OF abortion, where immortality and
physical ruin were so closely connected.
DR.. Ill went into a technical discussion or
the consequence of abortion.

ment of city affairs than Mr.. Taggart has
done or is likely to do. 1t gives the Journal
unfeigned satisfaction to make the an
nouncement that there will from this day
to the closing Of the polls Oct. 10 be earnest
and untiring effort by all Republicans to
elect the ticket which Mr.. Bookwalter
heads. The differences growing out of the
contest for the candidacy have been
dropped. Those who opposed the nominal
ton Of Mr.. Bookwalter will vie with those
who supported him In bringing out not only
the Republican vote. but in persuading hum
dreds of Democrats who are weary of Tag
gartism to vote the Republican ticket. Many
influences have been at work TO bring about
this condition of harmony. but the most
powerful OF these influences has been fur
nished by the Democratic candidates and
managers In the dlsreputable and degrading
methods to which they nave resorted in
their meetings. They have deied the moral
sense Of the community both by their beer
meetings and their addresses. Hundreds of
are now in earnest to defeat Mr.. Taggart
because they desire to place municipal
politics upon a higher and a decent plane.
II there shall be faithful and effective
desire to arrest political generalization In
indianapolis. Mr. Taggart will not have a
third term.

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY.

general observation of at least one day of

CENSUS SUPERVISORS CONFER

THE MAYOR AND HIS CLAIMS.

What can Mayor Taggart mean by telling
his audience in Haughville Tuesday night
that during my four years administra-
ton the city has received $4,000 from cor
porations such as the street-car company
and the telephone company. which Repub-
licans never did try to secure?' What sort
OF a bluf is Mr.. Taggart trying on the peo-
pie of Haughville? The street-car company
has always been assessed and taxed for it's
property, and the same is true of the old
telephone company. Does he mean to say
that the annual payment of the present
street-car company for it's franchise, which
was required by a Republican Legislature
as a condition to a charter. is money that
he secured and that the Republicans never
could get? How could the Republicans.
who have Tot been in power for four years,
get money under a franchise. that the Re-
publican Legislature authorized in Feb
ruary, 1899? How could a Republican ad-
ministration whichwent out OF power in 1896,
when Mr.. Taggart came in. obtain money
as a franchise from the New Telephone
Company. which has had it's charter less
than three years and its franchise less than
two? And yet, as reported, he told his audi
ence that he had been getting s5O. 1000 a year
from these companies, which the Repub-
licans never could get. This is a piece of
bare-faced imposition upon the ignorance
which Mr.. Taggart seems to assume on the
part of his Democratic hearers in Haugh-
vile.
The same speech contains another as
sumption of Mayor Taggart, which is that
prosperity has come to Indianapolis be-
cause he has been mayor. The new life
which has been infused into the varied in
dustries of Indianapolis, giving full employ
ment to thousands of men, and the activity
which has sprung up in every branch of
business during the past two years Mr..
Tagsart claims as the result of his admin
istration as mayori Probably the hundreds
of men who have found employment al the
time in the factories in the vicinity Of
Haughville have imagined that the man.
ayers thereof have found customers all over
in 1896. and that the demands of these Gus
toners for goods brought about the change.
How mistaken they have been, and how
delighted they must be to learn that Thomas
Taggart, as mayo of indianapolis. by the
magic Of his smile created a countrywide
demand for the products of the shops and
factories of Indiana! How thankful they
must be! Doubtless, hereafter, they may
be so thankful that free beer at every meet
ing will not be necessary to impress them
with the greatness and the miraculous pow
er of the mayor.
But there is still cause for complaint. Mr..
Taggart came into office in October. 1895.
Until after the November election in 1896
there were never more idle men in Indian
apolis. nor was there ever less doing in its
industries. During the spring. summer and
fall of 1896 times were never harder in In
diana. There was no demand for goods, and
both manufacturers and merchants were
discouraged. If the mayor magician could
have made good times in a minute why did
he wait until a Republican national ad-
ministration came into power?
