UnIiorm Medical Law.

UNIFORM medical Law.
The recent convention Of the board:
Of health Of several western states at
Kansas City resulted, among other
things, in the Inauguration OF a
movement to make the laws reguIa-
ting the practice Of medicine uniform
throughout the country. Under the
rules Of the state boards Of health
now in force, physicians removing
from n state to another must be re-
examined before being allowed to
practice. An effort was also made to
induce the organization to take up
the subject of legislation against
Christian Science and legislation re-
quiring a higher standard of medical
education for registration. Much as
40 improved standard OF medical
education is to be desired, anything
In the way Of restrictive legislation
to this end sayors both of protecting
people against their own voluntary
acts and of fostering monopoly. Upon
either count it is to be looked upon
with suspicion.
There would seem to to be no objec.
tion to the state treating physicians
as its treats banks, if public welfare
requires it. The state requires banks
to give all proper publicity to their
condition, capitalization. assets, liza
bilities, and responsible officers. 1t
forces a bank out Of business only
when its further continuance would
constitute deceit and a fraud upon
the public. Moreover the state
grants certificates q different grades
t0schOOl teachers 10 the public Schools.
and permits teachers TO practice their
profession in private schools without
any certificate at all
It would be difficult to devise
an argument for state restrictions
upon physicians, who care for mems
bodies, that might not be urged with
equal force in favor Of state restric.
lions upon preachers and priests who
care for mems. souls The historical
argument is as strong for the one as
for the other; or rather it is as strong
against the one as against the other.
The state physicians Of the Pharaoh:
were as much Instruments of oppres-
sion and despotism as the priests

On Saturday evening Miss Frances
Bowen Smith, who has charge Of the
department OF physical culture and
expression az that institution gave a
delightful reading at Central College
The entire student body aud friends
from the city filed the hail to over
flowing, and gave Miss Smith a royal
welcome as she appeared for the pre-
sentation Of her admirably chosen
selection. The evenings entertain
ment consisted OF the readers own
condensation OF "Mrs. Wigs Of the
Cabbage Patch, by Alice Caldwell
Hogan. With minor omissions the
work was given entire in three parts,
aud the delighted audience had gladly
listened much longer to a reader Of
such versatility.
The cleverly told story is a happy
union Of helpful philosophy, pathos
and humor, exemplifed in the lives
OF an unfortunate family struggling
against the odds Of poverty, sickness
and death. In the presentation Of
every situation Miss Smith was en-
inently successful. The last Illness
and death Of Jim Wigs was told so
tenderly that fearful eyes attested a
sympathy most heartfelt and shared
in a sorrow that was keen and per-
sonal. On the other hand the des-
cription Of the Theater Party was 80
vivid that the audience was ~convulsed
in paroxysms Of laughter. At the
close of the reading Miss Smith was
recalled and gave a fine dialect num-
Der entitled: The "Pianner Juettn

Last year Miss Smith read "a
Kentucky Cardinal" by James Lane
Allen, aud the pleasure of that occa-
sion together with the rare enjoyment
Of Saturday evening will be remem-
bered by Central College and for
tunate Lexingtonians as happy aud
helpful hours with an intelligent and
delphtful reader.

The Boy Problem.

Inv DV1 I iODlCin.
The Commercial Club Of Kansas
City made a radical departure from
its usual program this week by dis
cussing. instead of the usual CONNER
cial aud industrial questions, THE
Boy Problem 10 Kansas City" Among
those who addressed the club were
L. D. Drake. superintendent OF the
Reform School at Bonneville, Judge
Wofford Of the Kansas City court Of
criminal correction, aud W. @. John
son, the probation officer. FROM this
array Of advisors it is clear that the
commercial club regards the boy as
an evil and only evil continually. No
satisfactory report Of the meeting has
come TO hand, but it is safe to say
that IL any conclusions were arrived
at, they were about as follows:
First, in the language Of Grover
Cleveland, the boy is a condition and
not a theory. Second, he is here and
here to stay. Third, II you don't
like him, what are you goieg TO do
about it? 1t is a pathetic sight to
contemplate. A great commerclal
organization, after exhausting all the
problems Of trade and finance, falls
back upon the problem OF the ages
what is to be done with lhe boy?
Why, there is notning to be done
with him. Just worry along with
him un5il he gets into business or
falls Ia love aud lnen he viii take
care OF himself.

The senatorial committee consist.
iHS Of Beveridge, Dillingham;, Burn.
ham and Heitheld have made their
tour Of Oklahoma, New Mexico and
Arizona and are ready to lay before
congress a report OF three hundred
pages on the eligibility OF these terri
tories for statehood. The significant
and determining facts will not be in
the report-they will be made to a
republican caucus. The official report
20 the senate will review resources In
mining and agriculture, population,
school facilities and intelligence, pos
sibilities Of future development, ETC.,
but the facts which will really deter
mine the question Of admission to the
union are, present political COM
plexion and the probable future
effects Of statehood upon politics IN
these states. The chances of New
Mexico and Arizona are very slim.
There is little doubt but that they
are democratic Thousands Of those
who have been voting the republican
ticket in all these territories have
been doing so only in the nope Of
statehood.
There is no denying that there are
good reasons for postponing the ad-
mission OF back ward territories. AS
soon as they become states they have
equal representation in the United
States senate with the largest states.
But there is no excuse for admitting
all the northern ones and refusing all
the southern ones, for admitting all
that are known to be republican and
refusing all that are thought to be
democratic. Dakota was not only
admitted when it had little popula-
ton, but was divided into two states,
50 that it might have four United
States senator's. North Dakota even
yet has a smasier population than
Oklahoma or New Mexico, while
Arizona, which is by far the least
pOpulous Of all all the remaining ter
ritories, has between four and five
times as many people within its Dor.
ders as Nevada, which has been .
state, furnishing two senator's for
nearly forty years. The city Of St.
Louis has enough inhabitants 10 make
thirteen states as populousa as Nevada
and upon a basis Of population w0aId
be entitled to twenty-sIx Uuited

Colonel ochIIuee.

OSASANl ONhiAAN~s
The announcement that Colonel
Thomas Ochiltree died Tuesday
evening at Hot Springs, Virginia,
recalls to mind one Of the most
singular and picturesque public char
acters this country has ever produced.
Wit, wag, beau, and jolly good fellow,
he yet had enough Of the electric fire
in him to make him at times a man
TO be feared.
He came just after the times Of
Ben Butler and Fernando Wood-that
early mesozoic age OF political mon
strosities-and just before the times
Of the PieGcfs, Ringrees AID Jerry
Simpsons-tne %cretaceous age of
microscopic political animalcules. He
was the contemporary Of the bizarre
ingalls, Of Kansas and the eccentric
John d. White OF Kentucky, and may
be roughly classed with these political
erIata. At the close OF his congress
sioHal career, which was not a very
long one, he did not 20 back to Texas,
but scame a New York club man.
1t is said that from that time to this
he has never paid any hins-never
had a chance. His company was con-
sidered to be worth all it cost, and
he was as much sought after as a
foreign prince on a iunketlng tour,
An interesting story is told Of a
little collision between Ochiltree and
Thomas b. Reed while the former
was a member Of congress Ochiltree,
at the instance II his constituents,
had been very active in trying to gel

SERIOUS MIXING OF LETTERS.
Troubles Arising from wife Having No
New Dress for the Party.

A well-known citizen Of Clay Cen
ter had been invited to an evening
party. He wanted to go, but his wife
declared that she had no gown suit
able for the occasion, and asked him
to send regrets" to their hostess.
The man went down to the Office and
penned this faeetious note Of deelna-
ton:
1--WE regret that your kind invita-
ton must be declined for all the con-
ventional reasons, but the real thing
is that half the family has nothing to
wear. My wife's latest dress is over
three weeks old and her hat is 10
hours out Of date. You will appreci-
ate the h~opelessness Of the occasion
and excuse us"
He thought this pretty good, and
he determined to write a note to his
wl1e also explaining that he would
not be at home for an early dinner,
as she had asked him. He said in this
note:
i have turned down your invita-
ton because I am going out to an
other evening party where the guests
are not expected to wear anything Of
Importance. Sorry ! won't be there
to kiss you good night"
And then the fool man ~carelessly
sent his wife'snOte to the hostess and
the hostess note to his wire.-Clay

they were announced in the reception
halls, failed to note the extensive inn

had been ~obliterated by tasteful
decorations. Chrysanthemums, ferns
and palms sprang up in unexpected
places. The senior room was decora-

and the junior room was fashioned
in truly oriental style.
Sweet strains Of music from the
orchestra added a delicious flavor to
the refreshments serving in the
dining room which was beautifully
decorated with hangings and flowers
