DOCTORS FEES.

A Philadelphia court has decided
that a physician may have a high
scale of prices for rich patients and a
low scale for poor patients. A st.
Louis court on the other hand, says
the wealth or poverty of the patient
must not be considered.
If the st. Louis view should be-
come established, the best medical
advice would be placed beyond the
poor altogether, and they would
have to accept the services of the
cheap men of the profession. This
would work a hardship to the de-
serving poor. 1t would prevent the
rich from helping the poor in the
present indirect manner.
Fortunately for all, the Philadel-
phia rule prevails, and it will con-
tinue to prevail. Nc hard and fast
rule is needed in doctors fees, and
none will be established. At pres
ent a physician of high standing
even serve the poor without fee be-
cause he knows where he can pro-
cure large fees, and no n is hurt in
the operation. Humanity is benz.
fitted, and the Philadelphia judge
has the right end of the matter.
No one is compelled to send for {
doctor who has adopted the Phil
adelphia plan, but when such
doctor is summoned his schedules O
prices must be accepted. He has NJ
doubt various schedules, all adapted
to the purse of the patient. AT frs
sight the Philadelphia rule ma.
seem inequitable, but it is not, sim
ply because there is no compulsiol
in the choosing of a doctor TIL
summoned doctor is the judge of tn
price of his services in the particula
case. If he desires to make the ric.
contribute towards the relief of til
poor, or towards himself, he is tn
sole arbiter. So runs Philadelphi
law, and so runs the prevailin
practice, and it cannot readily b
ahanUad.

WORLDS FAIR FINANCES.

President Francis has paid $685.
900 to the government on account of
the loan of 81, 600, 900, being 40 per
cent of the gross receipts from June
L to June Is. Another semi-m onth-
ly payment must be made on July
l., and after that date the semi
monthly payments must be at least
$500, 900.
Can the fair meet the payments? It
is doubtful. The payment made on
June Is consisted in good part of the
sale of concessions, which are pre-
[sumabty disposed of. Hereafter the
chief dependence must be upon the
gate receipts, and these were in the
first half of June but $40, 1000 a day.
They must be trebled at least in or
der to permit President Francis to
make the government payments and
pay at the same time running ex-
penses. It is not probable that they
wilt be trebled in the hot months of
July and August, for st. Louis is a
very hot town as a rule in those
months. Thus far the summer has
not been fercely hot, and possibly
the weather will favor the fair.
But the times do not favor the fair.
Many men r out of employment;
the cost of living is as high as even
Secretary Shaw can reasonably de-
sire, and many cannot go to the fair
that would go in better times. Pres
ident Francis is, however, hopeful.
He does not propose to hand over his
"job" to the ex-banker of Denison,
Ia, who says he will take charge OF
it if the payments are not forthcoming
in accordance with the terms of the
government loan. It must be con.
fessed that the chances run in favor
of Denison, la. No crest exposition
has been able to make both ends
meet, and the st Louis fair promise:
to be nc exception to the rule despite
President Francis optimism. The
number of visitors will be increased
but it will not. it is feared, keep stel
with the demands of the govern
ment.

Reference having been made in

ton to the McCrackep County Medic
al and Surgical Society for member
ship which called forth a resolution
by that body Withholding member
ship from all except physicians, II is
perhaps due me. by way of explana-
ton, to say that, being a member of
the American Medical Association"
and of the Society of Dental Science
of st. Louis" which includes medical
specialists of every kind. and there
being no similar societies in Padu-
cab except the medical and surgical
society, and being unaware that local
medical societies were in the habit
of excluding all but physicians,

The fate Of the Plat bill to prop
erly regulate representation in con-
gress is unknown at present, but IL is
extremely likely that congress will
fairly, though fearlessly, do what is
deemed best for the country. The
justice and propriety of allowing
some states a representative in con-
gress for one, two or three thousand
voters, while other states have only
one representative for every forty or
fifty thousand voters. is not an equit-
able distribution of representation,
no matter what the cause Of the dis
parity in voting population. There
does not appear to be any desire on
part of most republicans to deprive
any state or section of what is justly
It's own. and there should be no OBJ
lection on part of any state or sec
lion to receiving only what II is just
ly entitled to.

tire south wants the friendship and
is pleased with the words Of compli-
ment spoken of us by the president
of our country. President Roosevelt
has given recent evidence of his de-
sire to be our friend, and II will be a
happiness for rs to meet him more
than half way. The president is
himself a half southerner, through
his veins flows the proudest blood of
Georgia, and his kinsmen drew stain
less swords in defense of the flag of
the south. We only ask him to look
upon us as citizens of common and
united country"
