The Courts and Osteopathy.

In struggling with the matter of
osteopathy, as in many other matters,
the learned judges OF the law succeed
in reaching some very conflicting and
confusing conclusions. The supreme
court of Alabama has just decided that
practitioner regularly graduated
from a school OF osteopaths, who treats
his patients by manipulation of
the limbs ana body, without the use
of drugs, medicine or surgical instru-
ments. is nevertheless practicing med
requiring a person so practicing to
obtain a certificate from q board of
medical examiners; the statute clearly
Indicating that it was not the leSisla-
tive intent to restrict the examination
to those intending to practice medicine
by prescribing drugs, but to include all
who practice the art of healing, what
ever the reputed therapeutic agency
employed"
In North Carolina, however, the
supreme court has just decided that
the practice of osteopathy is not the
practice of medicine or surgery as
commonly understood, and therefore
il is not necessary to have a license
from the board of medical examiners
before practicing it. In it's opinion
the court states that if it is a fraud
and imposition, and injury resu->s, the
osteopath is liable both civilly and
criminally. Certainly baths and diet
could be advantageously prescribed to
many people. Rubbing is well enough
if the patient is not rubbed the wrong
way. Tho real complaint is that os-
teopatns restrict themselves to these
remedies and do not resort to drugs
and surgery; but that very fact estab-
fishes that they do not violate the law
requiring a license to practice medi-
cine and surgery. Doubtless there is
an appeal to the imagination, but who
does not know that prescription by
a physician in whom the patient has
IMPLICIT confidence is oftentimes more
effective than the same treatment by
one in whom he has none, and that at
times bread pills and other harmless
prescriptions are administered with
good results?'

Reflections of a Bachelor.

The worst thing about making love in
poetry to win woman is the living up to
1t in prose after you have won her.
A woman is never sure that her husband
is always going to follow the straight
path; she never doubts that her son will.
When a woman begins to praise her
husband to her friends for his goodness
to her she has given up hope of every
thing else.
A man doesn't necessarily believe he
means the extravagant terms Of endear-
ment he uses to q woman, but he knows
they are necessary. ~
The tactful man is success with wo-
men because when he sees one in a cotton
shirt waist, he makes her believe no other
woman could do it without appearing
commonplace.

In the New Congress.


The Civil War is a thing of the his
tory of 40 years ago and yet in the
new Congress which will assemble,
next December unless sooner called in
special session, no fewer that one
sixth of the members fought in the
battles of that great conflict. In the
Sonata almost one third of the mem
hers are veterans. In that Congress
there will be II men who served eth
er in the Union or the Confederate
armies. OF these Al were Union men
and 80 Confederates. In the Senate
there are IS ex-Confederates and 10
ey-ITnion soldiers. In the House there
are 81 ex-Union soldiers and II ex-
Confederates. Thus, So years after
the close of the war more than 16 per
cent of the membership of the Con-
eress is composed of men who fought
in that war. In the Senate over 20
per cent of it's membership are vet
Grams, and in the House more than 10
per cent, fought on one side or the 9TH
er in the contest for the preservation
of the Union. When~the fact that the
majority of the men now active in the
worlds affairs were born since that
war is considered, it would seem as
if the veterans had very large repre-
scntation in Congress. Each year the
number of old soldiers in Congress
grows less. Younger and ambitious
men are pushing them aside, while
death is steadily reducing their num-
Der.
In looking over the roll of the Sem
ate, now in special session and which
has been much changed by this Win
ter's elections it is interesting also to
note that Is members of that body have
served as governors of their states
These are Stone, Missouri; Clarke,
Arkansas; McCreary, Kentucky; Per-
kins, California; Foraker Ohio; Till
man, South Carolina; Proctor and
Dillingham;, Vermont; Daniel, Vir-
ginia; Wetmore, Rhode Island; Nell
son, Minnesota, McLaurin, Missis-
sippi; Bate, Tennessee, and Dietrich,
Nebraska; while Warren, Wyoming,
was governor of his state when it was
a territory, and was it's first governor
as a state. Twenty members of
the Senate almost one-third of that
body, graduated from the House to the
Senate These are Patterson, Colora-
do; Hawley, Connecticut; Mallory,
Florida Dubois, Idaho Hopkins, Illi-
nois: Allison and Dolliver, Iowa: Long,
Kansas; Blackburn and McCreary,
Kentucky; Hale and Frye, Maine;
Hoar and Lodge Massachusetts; Nc
Comas, Maryland; Burrows, Michigan;
Nelson Minnesota; Money, Mississippi;
Stone, Missouri; Newlands, Nevada;
Plat, New York; Hansborough, South

Temperance ia Texas.

While the local option people are at
lacking the citidels of prohibition in
New England, with a victory in Yer
mont and defeat in Maine as the re-
suits of their campaign to date, the
principle of prohibition is winning not
able recognition in far off Texas, q
state which has been VIGOROUSLY lax in
its morals and whose criminal records
offer eloquent testimony to the need
of Improvement. In that state they
have county option law, under which
the saloonsashall be licensed or totally
prohibited within their limits for the
following T. months. There are &c
counties i'll the state, q number which
by comparison gives US some conceD
lion of the vast area of the Lone Star
commonwealth. and ut last WEEKS
elections 704 of these 2S6 counties voted
fer the prohibition of the traffic in
liquor. Thus in three cut of every
seven Texas counties the no-license
system will prevail for the coming
year. This is a great gain over last
are correspondingly juhilant.
The Texas prohibitionists are conf
dent that before many years there will
be a state prohibitory law, and that
their confidence has it's effect on the
saloon element is shown by a bill which
the state association of liquor dealers
has presented to the Legislature now
in session. 1t is not common for
saloonkeepers to come before the pub
lie in the role of reformers, and their
qUiclIness to read the signs of the
times. and their willingness to better
existing conditions and to weed out
the worst element in their business is
to be welcomed as a sign of brighter
days for Texas. The bill which the
state associate of liquor dealers has
endorsed reads as follows:
ANY saloonkeeper who sells to
minors or to students, who allows his
place to be used for gambling, or any
immoral purpose whatever, who per-
Nits disreputable characters or crimi-
nails to frequent his saloon, or who
sells on Sunday, forfeits his license for
two years. At the end of each year
the saloonkeeDer must renew his lie
ense and must take oath that he has
been guilty of no infraction of law in
the course of the preceding year.
If it can be shown that the law has
been violated in any particular the Of
fender VIII be punished with imprison-
ment."

Review is chuckling to himself over
the action of the voters of his town in
passing over an article authorizing the
selectmen to build more concrete side
walk in the name of economy. "A
concrete sidewalk" he says, will last
at least 20 years without repairing. The
cost is at most $1.00 per square yard.
A plank walk at the present price of
lumber costs about 80 cents per square
yard, and has to be practically rebuilt
about every two years AT the end of
20 years a plank walk will have cost
the town over three times as much as
a walk of concrete would; but we
voted to keep on building plank walks
as a matter of economy
