coming from the Muscatine Journal,
is taken with a degree of salt by those
not standpatters. The Journal Is o
standpat paper and Senator Titus Is
recognized as a Cummins man. But
aside from factional politics it is un-
derstood to be Senator Titus ambition
to return to the senate. The sugges-
ton is being made that possibly the
desire of the Journal is to get Senator
Titus sidetracked onto a campaign for
eoyerior. to keep him out of the race
for senator.
AT the present time It seems as
though there is but one full nedged
candidate for governor In the state and
that is Lieutenant Governor John Her
riott. Mr. Herriott's candidacy Is be-
ing skillfully worked by James T..
Wilson, who is recognized as being one
of the best informed politicians IN the
state. and he loses no opportunity to
advance Mr.. Herriott's interests. SEN
ator Trewin, according to the gossip
about the state house, is considered
out Of the running since the broad side
of the Marion editor is against him,
and it is claimed he could not carry his
own county. This leaves the stand-
matters without candidate. The
cum1nins men. never have had full
f1edeed candidate. There has been
talk Of Speaker Clarke, OF Adel,
hut he does not want the place.
and does want to be attorney general.
Mr.. Clarke abhors politics. He is IN
love with the profession Of the law ana
delights to be considered one OF the
leading lawyers Of the state. He would
he glad to fill the office Of attorney
general as one of his life ambitions.
He might following that like to be gov
ernor if he could get it without too
much Of a political fight. 1t is pre-
sumed that in the course of time the
standpat element will be on hand with
a candidate on which they are unit
ed but the Cummins men have thus
far seemingly made no effort to find
candidate.
II. G. weigert of Waterloo has been
convicted Of practicing medicine with
out a license. DR.. Kennedy, secretary
of the state board of health went to
Pocahontas as witness against him.
Weigert claimed he was not practice
ing as doctor. He is some kind of
a magnetic healer. The judge in in
structing the jury stated that If it was
found that he advertised to cure dis
ease it could find him guilty Of prac-
ticing medicine, On this basis he was
found guilty. On that same basis the
christian scientists of the state might
be prosecuted. There has never beer
o,~oolod fo c,,pravoo onnrf coca
in which a ruling was had directly on
christian science teaching. but II this
case is appealed and there is ruling
on that instruction to the jury it is
claimed it will reach the christian
scientists. The Nebraska legislature
has passed a bill requiring christian
scientists to take a course of four years
lectures at reputable medical school
before they can practice healing. Dr..
Kennedy of the, board of health thinks
this an admirable act. He claims that
every doctor will admit there are cases
of people with whom there is nothing
wrong except an imaginary trouble
and christian science then is an adj
mirable thing and every good doctor
practices it to a certain extent Ele
thinks that if all christian scientists
We're graduates of some medical col
lege they would use christian science
only in cases where it applied ard
would not sacrifice innocent children
with contagi diseases and broken
limbs.
