JOINT SAMARITANS' MEETING

It Will Be Held Nov. 3o.-lnltIatIon Of a
Large Class Planned.
IA mass meeting of the six Minneapolis
councils of the Modern Samaritans will
be held in Masonic Temple, Nov. 80, at
which time it is proposed to break all
records for limitations into this order.
The record for limitations into the Sa-
maritans is held by the West Superior.

candidates in one night. The number
which passes the lodge room door Nov.
80 will exceed that but the Initiation will
be as carefully and painstakingly con-
Quoted as If the deputies had but a half
dozen candidates to consider.
"A banquet will be given the candidates,
and prominent members Of the order will

A noteworthy fact and one much debated
in professional circles is the little i'm
portance attached to the numerous cleo
tFical phenomena with which the human
organism comes in contact, and that the
application OF electricity for medical pur-
poses should be restricted to only a few
cases. The French and Italian men OF
the medical profession are a laudable ex-
ception by refraining from the use Of cleo
tricity in their practice. On the contrary,
they not only favor investigation along that
line. but themselves use this natural force
in their practice whenever possible.
with these facts before us 1t is to be
expected that electro-theraupetics, as the
new science is called, should be successfully
developed in those countries and our own
scientists outdone in this important field.
Already they successfully treat certain skin
diseases and other disorders with the cleo
trical bath and the Roetgen ray. France
is In the lead, and at the universities Of
that country much experimenting is done
with the new method. The French may In
deed point with pride to such men as Profs.

Unwisely the municipal franchise corpo-
rations Of this city have decided TO appeal
to the supreme court at Washington from
the unanimous judgment OF New York's
highest court IN support of the franchise
tax law. That judgment will never be re-
versed at Albany or Washington. Appeal
simply defers the payment Of millions in
taxes Justly imposed and intensihes public
dlsapproval OF the companies attempt to
avoid their equitable share Of the tax bur
den. II these corporations are blind TO
the signs OF the times they should at least
be warned by their blunders in the past.
This law may fairly be called Theodore
Roosevelt's statute. The enactment of II
was due to his persistent demand for such
legislation. and II Is known that he found
II necessary to overcome the opposition Of
his party's Organization" then repre-
scented at Albany by the gentleman who Is
now governor Of the state. Owing to his
success with the franchise tax bill and be-
cause he had in mind other tax projects for
the completion Of which he desired a Sec
ond term, the interests that opposed them
set in motion the forces which removed
him from Albany and made him vice presi-
dent. Fate has not permitted them to profit
by this. The same and other allied interests
have found him not less obnoxious to them
in the White House than he was at Albany.
His franchise tax law has now been so
strongly affirmed that It cannot be shaken.
Continued efforts to escape its requirements
will do the companies more harm than good.
The tax Is clearly a just one. None Of
the companies will say that the prop
erty upon which 1t is imposed has no rata

selves have capitalized it. Great quanti-
ties of stock and bonds have been issued

ownership in this country has its origin
IN the popular prejudice against theft
rather than in purely economic reasoning.
In almost every one Of our large cities
there has been brought to light abundant
proof that franchises Of great value have
been stolen from the people OF procured
by bribery. As a rule, money has been
paid for them, but 1t has gone into the
pockets Of corrupt legislators and executive
officers rather than into the public treas
ury. For examples, st. Louis and Philadel.
phia. Some years have passed since such
special privileges were corruptly bought
in New York. But there are other prac-
tees OF great franchise corporations not
more acceptable to the public than the
purchase of aldermen's and councilmen's
votes. We heard of them during the
last weeks OF the recent session Of the leg
islature at Albany, when the agents Of
great corporations In this city sought to
procure the passage OF numerous sneak
bills that would have given them additional
franchises and privileges without honest
pay, or would have revived old grants long
ago lapsed and forfeited. Only by the in
dignant protests of an angry people was
the enactment of these bills prevented.
In principle how did those schemes
differ from the franchise raid in Harris
burg and Philadelphia, or the traffic in
municipal privileges at st. Louis? Such
sins the ostentatious philanthropy Of re-
spOnsible directors will not cover. Like
the attempted evasion of fair taxes, they
excite disgust and hostility in the public
mind They may not be profitable in a
financial sense Of the term. For when a
corporation not only refuses to pay taxes
upon franchises worth many millions and
obtained for little or nothing, but also
seeks to procure additional privileges by
trick and device, the public may decide
that the time has come for making its
taxes heavier.

sleep, with regular respiration and normal
activity of the heart. Pinching, cutting,
p~ricking or burning did not seem to cause
the least pain. AS soon as the current was
shut of the animal awoke, jumped up and
ran about contented, apparently suffering
no Injurious effect either as to his physical
or mental condition. Indeed, the duration
Of this electrically induced sleep could be
protracted for hours with the same result.
Furthermore, 1t has been proved that the
human body when under the influence Of
the Leduc electrical current is totally in
sensible to pain as when cocaine is in
jected. Eminent specialists declare that
this harmless method will supersede the
uSe of chloroform and ether in performing
those operations Upon persons with a weak
heart which 30 often prove fatal when these
anesthetics are used.
Similar phenomena have lately been
shown by the Italian investigator, Vatalli.
who stopped the activity of the heart of
the animal upon which he was experiment
ing by applying a steady current, and then
restored it to activity by means Of the al
~ternsting current. In these experiments
also the health Of the subjects was not i'm
paired.
The nature and success Of the above ex-
periments has led DR.. Hornungs, a noted
German physician, to use electricity in
treating cases of heart disease.
At any rate, enough facts have been es-
tablished to practically put electro-thera-
peutics upon a scientific basis and over
come all skepticism as to its p~racticability.
Already many men Of the scientific and med
ical professions the world over admit the
significance of the experiments made so
far.

tial, however, one can touch the conductor
carrying such a current with impunity,
and 1t is even possible to illuminate a glass
bulb from which the air has been ex-
hausted by holding It in one hand. 1t must
be apparent to the laity as we'll as to the
professional scientist that such energy can
not pass through the human body without
having SOM influence.
Much is expected to result from an ex-
pertinent performed by Prof. Stephen
Leduc OF Nantes, a member Of the French
Academy of Science, which proves with
certainty that a small alternating current
acting on the body will induce sleep and
put the body in a state Of absolute freedom
from pain. That is, the activity Of the
brain can be stopped by means OF such a
current without the least pain being ex-
perienced or the impairing Of the functions
Of the respiratory organ or the circula-
tion.
So Ear the experiments have been con-
Quoted upon animals only, but the results
are nevertheless conclusive. The success

machine with a small current at first, but
which could be gradually increased In
strength. A rabbit was first used to ex-
pertinent upon and later a shepherd dog.
Neither animal seemed to experience any
u-npleasantness from the experiment. The
subject was introduced into the circuit of
the current by one metal plate being ap-
piled to the forehead and the other to the
back. When the current was increased II
caused, both In the case Of the rabbit and
the dog, gpasmodic movements of the mus
cies and interrupted respiration. Then the
current was diminished and the subject
