of the series of debates tonight i'm Room
1 of the Indiana Law School. The ques-
ton to be debated is. Resolved, That the
Democratic monetary policy would advance
the interests of our country more than
the present Republican policy" The de-
baters for the affirmative are James
Hughes, J.. r. richards and Mr.. Mcconnell,
who are representatives of the Democratic
Club. Hughes and Richards have taken an

years and are efficient speakers. They are
in the senior law class, while Mcconnell
is a junior.
The Republican speakers are H. c. Nor

Morgan and Heavelyn are law seniors and
both have been workers in past campaigns
and have the true Republican spirit at

UNLICENSED DOCTORS.
Cases Against Them 10 BE Pushed by
the State Medical Board.

The State Ioard or Medical Examination
and Registration will hold a meeting next
week for the purpose OF discussing the
question OF what 10 do with v~iolators OF
the medical laws Of Indiana. The board
has made repeated efforts to accomplish
the prosecution OF doctors. and has filed
innumerable cases against those whom IL
claims had no right to practice, but has
met with but little success in securing
convictions. The board attributes a good
deal OF the blame TO the county prosecut-
ors. who never seem TO have time TO call
up the cases for a hearing. The board eIa-
pioyed attorneys at its last meeting, and
they will hereafter assist In the prosecu-
lions. The board had a conference with
Prosecutor Pugh last week and agreed 10
select a few cases at the meeting next
week which will be made test cases. and
n will also decide on some means by which
the present accumulation OF affidavits may
be cleared away.

The State Fee and Salary Commission
met at the Statehouse yesterday and again
took I'D the vexed question of providing
a plan for fixing the salaries of county
officers which shall be uniform through

plan, but was not yet ready to give 1T to

listing law fixing the salaries of county
commissioners, which was passed by the
Legislature in 1889, was found TO be very
satisfactory and the board would recon-
mend no change in IL. The board also dis
cussed the regulation of salaries for town.
