RAP HEALTH BOARD.
Medical Society Calls 1t a Political
Institution.

The state board of health was treat
ed to some most uncomplimentary
criticisms last evening by the Golden
Belt Medical society which held a ses-
sion last evening at the National hotel.
1t was the annual session of that So
ciety and the members were loud
voiced in what they were pleased to
term the inefficiency of the present
state board. A motion asking that the
board be made more efficient was in
tr0duced and seconded. but on maturer
elaboration it was decided to simply
refer the matter to a committee who
will submit a report later.
THE state board of health is q part
of a political machine" said Dr. o. p.
Davis. There is no hope to have
things bettered under the present con-
dition of things. Our state society
took the matter up at its Wichita
meeting and asked Governor Hoch
that in filing vacancies on the state
board members of our society be
chosen, but the machine is so strong
that even Governor HOch does not
care to give attention to US. The board
has shown itself to be lacking in med
zeal ethics. Until there is at least one
reputable physicians on the board we
can not expect 20 have a betterment
of conditions"
DIR. Riddell of Enterprise. who sug-
gested the motionodnYolving the eff
eiency of the board. said: we all app
preciate the fact that we have a state
chemist and can send specimens for
analysis to the state chemist free of
charge. We can have meteorological
examinations of throat swabbings4 in
suspected cases of diphtheria. but the
findings of the state chemist should be
reliable and to save the state board
from ridicule I think that the state
laboratory should be made more eff
cient. I do not intend this as any re-
Election on DR.. Greenfield, the state
chemist but the laboratory should be
made large enough to do the work and
not be made ridiculous. In Abilene
the swabbings of two drug clerks who
had nothing worse than Kansas
whisky were sent to the state chemist
with instructions to examine for diph-
iberia germs. A telegram was sent
back from the state chemist that the
two men had diphtheria and that they
should be Quarantined. do not know
whether the swabbings were examined
or not. Perhaps the state board took
it for granted that the men had diph-
iberia or that they needed to be quar-
antined anyway I think that some
thing should be done to save these ex-
aminations from ridicule.'

Coleman to State Treasurer Kelly. ac-
scompanying the $1,000 draft is as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir: Some months ago Messrs. N
II. LOOMS and II. J. Bone, as attorneys
for Ex-Governor W. ] Bailey advised me
that it was the purpose and desire of the
governor to make settlement with the
state Of whatever sum was due from him

maintenance OF the executive residence by
Virtue of the law as. declared by the SUI
prene court in the case of Bailey VS..

careful revision of the items which seem
ed to be covered by the opinion of the
court. The amount arrived at by our
joint investigation was S1,77S76 In ne
gotiatiOn with the governor afterWard he
claimed that the laundry items, amount
ing to $751; were incurred solely in connec-
ton with property belonging to the state,
and that during the whole period, it was
further claimed by the governor, the three
persons employed as help about the prem
ises for the purpose of taking care Of and
Keeping in order the property of the state
had boarded with him, and been main
tanned at his table and out of the larder
of the executive residence. While I have
no conclusive authority to determine be-
tween the governor and the state what
items should be paid and what should be
allowed to him, determined to take the
responsibility of arriving, if possible, at
"a settlement OF the matter; and therefore
entered upon a negotiation with the gov
ernor looking to that end. After consid-
cradle correspondence and several per
sona1 interviews, and after sundry con
cessI0ns upon both Sides I finally pro-
posed to the governor that if he would
pay ST. 200 would recommend to the de-
partment that it should be accepted in
full settlement of all his liability to the
state upon the account mentioned. I have

osition and incloses me his draft on the

with the recommendation that it be re-
celved in fun settlement as agreed with
the governor; and also incIose herewith

and return to me. I made the receipt in
duplicate that you may retain a copy for
such use as may be proper in your office.

LIFE is NOT SACRED.
According to the View of DR.. Norton
of Cambridge.

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.=Dr. Charles
Elliott Norton of Cambridge, has join
ed forces with Miss Anne S. Hall of
Cincinnati and with Mrs. Maud Bal
lington Booth in their campaign for
the killing of the hopelessly insane
cidents. His views are expressed in a
letter to Miss Hall and made public
here today.
DR.. Norton formerly was professor
of literature st Harvard college. He
was friend OF Longfellow and Lowell
and with them made the famous
translation of the Divine comedy"
He writes Miss Hall in part as fol-
lows:
s'There is no ground to hold every
human life as fnviolably sacred and to
be preserved, no matter with what re-
suits to the individual or to others. On
the contrary, there are cases to which
every reasonab bic consideration urges
that the end should be put Setting
aside all doubtful cases no right
thinking man should hesitate to give
a dose of laudanum, sufficient to end
suffering and life together, to the vic
tim of an accident from the torturing
effects of which recovery was impos-
sible. however many hours of misery
might be added to conscious life by
stimulants or surgical operations
'Nor should a reasonable man hest
tate to hasten death in the case of a
mortal disease such. for example, as
cancer when it has reached the stage
of fncessant severe pain and when the
patient desires to die.

case, by whatever means, is mere
criminal cruelty.

GOOD WORK AT r. r. Y. n. c. A.
Reports for Year Show Excellent Con-
dition of Affairs.

Gratifying. indeed are the reports
covering the work of the Railroad
Young Mems Christian association dur
ing the past year. which will be pre-
scented at the anniversary exercises of
the Crganizat ton to be held at the as
ISOLATION rooms on Sunday afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock
From a financial standpoint the af-
fairs of the association could not be in
a much better condition unless it was
an endowed institution. After meeting
all the current expenses of the year
from the receipts there was sufficient
On hand to pay nearly $3.50 from the
surplus receipts towards the indebted
ness on the new building and leave a
balance on hand for the year of S334.33.
During the year only SEQ was received
for the building fund but enough was
taken from the general receipts to bring
the payment on the building debt up to
81 00630, and this leaves the total in
-debtedness on the building of only $3.50,
against which there are $500 in unpaid
pledges
Total receipts for the year from all
sources, including a balance on hand
at the first of the year of S193.40,
amounted to s8,772S3, some of the larger
items of which We're an appropriation
of $1,000 from the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa F'e Railway company; 50 937. so
from membership dues and 81 977.S0 for
bed rooms and lockers. In addition to
making the appropriation of $1,000 the
Santa Fe furnished the building with
light. heat and water. Expenditures for
the year outside of the money devoted
to the building fund amounted to 81
1920. In looking over the financial
statement a curious fact is noted. There
are three features connected with the
association for which the members who
enjoy them are charged a nominal sum
in addition to their dues. These are the
educa tional classes, the bowling alley
and the pool and billiard tables. In each
of these three instances it cost the as
sociation more to provide these features
than was taken in for them. The re-
ceipts in the pool and billiard room
amounted to S218.40 and it cost S247.35
to maintain the room. Receipts in the
bowling alley were S54.43 and its ex-
penses were S83S6 and the receipts for
educational tuition and supplies We're
s9Oe. So while the expenses for teachers
and supplies were S450.35.
In the way Of religious work during
the year there were SO Sunday mems
meetings with a total attendance of .

arce of lie 297 and one mixed service

Owing to the sickness of Clad Eamil-
ton, who was appointed commissioner by
the supreme court to take testimony in

has on request of Attorney General G. G.
Coleman decided to transfer the appoint
ment to H. @. Larimer of Topeka. Ow-
ing to this change in commissioners, the
final hearing of the case VIII be post
poned until April. instead of being heard
in March. as originally intended.
Mr. Larimer VIII take the testimony
in both the suit against Mayor Rose and
against the city of Kansas City.
Mr.. Coleman has also appointed G. +.

Assistant Attorney General McCamish
in the suppression of gambling in Kan

missioned as assistant attorney general

lin, member of the Kansas City board
Of aldermen, who. is said to be interested
in the management of the Turf Ex-
change, The Turf Exchange is said to
be licensed by the city to run without
nIOlestation.
Mr.. Hutchings, who was in Topeka
yesterday to confer with MI. Coleman
about the matter said:
I will tackle them both criminally
and civilly. I shall enjoin them from
operating and arrest their proprietOrs.
There is a bare possibility also that quo
warranto proceedings viii be instituted
to Gust all of the members of the city
council who voted for the ordinance to
license poolroonls. The council fixed
the license at $4,000 a year. The Derby
paid it and claims protection. 1t is Il
felony under the state law to operate a
poolroom. and Of course it is a crime
for a city council to license a felony.
THE suit to Gust Mayor Rose is based
on the alleged fact that he licenses
Joints to run in open violation of the
state law. Running a Joint is only a
misdemeanor. Running a gambling
house or poolroom is a felony. How
much more serious then it is for the
council to license a poolroom than for
the mayor to license the joints All
the cases will be brought in the Wyans
dotte courts, in the name Of the attorney
general. except the suits to GUST the
councilmen who voted to license pool
rooms. Those suits will be brought in
