THE CITY PHYSICIAN.

C. E. Judd, the man who occupies the
lob but not the office of city physician.
has not demanded any more corrections
on the charges of gross extravaganza
which were made against him some
days ago by the State Journal. APP
parently the doctor has nothing fur
Their to say. He has exhausted his de-
Tense.
If DR.. Judd has anything to say for
himself he should be given the floor. He
should be expelled by the council only
after a chance to defend himself. If he
can justify himself for spending $4,000
more from June to January than his
predecessor did during the correspond
ing eight months of the previous year,
he should be heard. If he can tell any
good reason why he spent $1,S60.S5 in
the month of October, 1901, and his pre-
decessor spent $685. for October, 1900,
he is entitled to hearing. If he has
any excuse for squandering hundreds of
dollars in pestilential, scourge-breed-
ing city dump, after the council had
ordered hin to cease wasting the city's
money, now is the time for him to talk.
When Mr.. Judd has had anything to
say in his own behalf, the State Jour-
nal has printed it as cheerfully as it
has printed the evidence upon which the
people of Topeka have condemned his
administration It has even printed the
violent personal abuse to which the
doctor reSorted when he was driven
face to face with the cold facts about
his extravagant manipulation of the
city finances. No doubt the columns of
other newspapers in the city would be
open to Mr.. Judd if he dared to take
advantage of them to deny the charge
of extrava gance. He has never entered
a denial.
Perhaps Mr.. Judd expects to shoulder
off the responsibility for the $4,000 waste
on the other members of the board. 1t
would not be unexpected. People have
come to expect a good deal from Mi.
Judd, and they usually get it. But the
| ordinances of the city impose great con-
fdence in the city physician, even If
the people do not. 1t is in his power to
regulate the health affairs almost with
out assistance. 1t is distinctly provided
| that he is the executive officer of the
| board, and can enforce ordinances at
his discretion. Mr.. Judd has evidently
| felt the need of much assistance, how
| ever, for he has had a meeting of the
| board of health every week, at SO per
| meeting, and has thus made the other
| members of the board parties to lis
| action as far as possible.
1t is no argument on behalf of MI.
| Judd to say that the health of the city
| is better than last year, or there is not
the prevalence of contagious disease.
| Reports for the whole state show eX-
actly the same conditions prevail every
where. Kansas is healthy this year. In
1900 it was overrun with smallpox and
other pestilence. Topeka is simply
| sharing in the benefits of healthy sea-
| son. No credit is due DR. Judd for ell
| matte conditions.
| Plenty of things might be said about
| DR.. Judd and his administration that
| have not been said. 1t is possible that
| some of these things will be introduced
| in evidence at some future time.
