DIR. COOK MAKES REPLY.
Says Chicago Attorney Is Mistaken
About Kansas Medical Board.

DIR. d. p Cook, chairman of the state
board of medical examination and reg

for DIR. Gray in the recent trial before
the board Marston made some rather
scathing remarks about the board be.
fore he left the city, and concerning
them DR.. Cook says:
To the Editor of the State Journal
1 noticed, with amusement, the bah
bling of A. W. Marston, attorney for
DR.. Robert E. Gray, in your Saturdays
ISSUE in regard to the result of DR..
Gray's hearing before the state board
of medical registration and examina-
ton.
1t was cowardly, and unjust kick in
the dark, just as he was leaving for
Chicago
His claim that the board is "politi-
cal organization, and is obliged to lend
its ear to the popular clamor for ven
geance on Dr. Gray" is lie.
The fact of the matter is, that At
torney Marston was counsel for DIR.
Gray, in the latter's trial for murder in
Chicago, and he managed to save Dr.
Gray from hanging, on mere technl-
cality. AS result, Mr.. Marston came
to Kansas greatly puffed up, to DEFEND
Dr. Gray in his hearing before the state
board, expecting to find it dead easy
to convince that board. that DR.. Gray
is a very nice man, innocent, and harm
less as a dove.
He found, however, tnat the SIoIe
board did not view his man in the same
light as the Chicago jury, but instead,
found him guilty of gross immortality on
his (Gray's) own confession. Conse-
uuently Attorney Marston was greatly
chagrined over his failure to exonerate
his client

have returned no other verdict. than
guilty, when DIR. Gray admitted that he

Roosevelt by ACClamdtiOn.

Springfield Mass-l Union.
President Roosevelt has not pleased
some people, and these people have
attempted for a year to concoct
some scheme for his undoing. They
realize that he is popular with the
people and that If nominated, will
surely be elected, hence their efforts
have been directed to prevent his
nomination. They have tried to de-
wise a scheme by which Hanna, Platt
and Quay. would work together for
that. end and despite the repeated
declarations of these leaders that
they favor the nomination of the
President, they continue to repeat
the story of an alliance to prevent
his nomination. lIanna's name was
used until he had said dozen times
that he would not take the nomina-
tion, and now Senator Fairbanks is
their selection. The Senator is not
a candidate, but so long as he does
not say so, the enemies of Roosevelt
will cling to him. The Democratic

ble view of the situation. 1t heads

Lower Duties en- I'm
ports From Philippines

Senator ForakeI's declaration in
favor of freer trade between the
United States and the Philippines is
not only courageous, but it is justice
to our Philippine dependencies.
At present the United States |
charges 20 per cent. of the regular
Dingley law duties on all we import
, from the Philippines. Porto Rican
imports are free. Hawaiian sugar.
the principal product of Hawaii, is
| free. Cuba is to have a 20 per cent.
reduction from the regular duties as
soon as the reciprocity bill becomes
a law.
The United States ought to treat
the Philippines as well as she does
. Porto Rico and Hawaii. 1t will not
seriously injure any home interest
, and it will benefit the islands. The
same interests and the same men
: who now oppose lower duties for the
E Philippines fought free trade with
Porto Rico and reciprocity with
n Cuba. In other words, they oppose
t any concession from the present
n tariff schedules, no matter wha'
