Caution should be exercised In accepting the
remarkable story about the revival of morl-
bund patient which DR.. Quackenbos told to the
Entertainment Club the other evening. Physl-
clans err in their diagnosis sometimes. and occa-
sionally abandon hope prematurely. There have
been spontaneous recoveries which have sur
prised both medical attendants and anxious
friends It should be borne in mind that In the
instance cited by DIR. Quackenbos the patient
was still alive and it is automatic that while
there's life there's hope" On the other hand, the
possibilities of benefit through an appeal to the
will when a subject is under hypnotic influence
have not vet been fully revealed. and it will not
do hastily to reject the hint here offered to the
medical profession.

higher education and efficiency and
temperance and especially with those
who are entrusted, as public officials,
with the business of the people.
Mr. Editor, | do believe that if we
are 50 poor that it would pay us as
tax payers, one hundred per cent. to
borrow S25, 900 dollars and build one
public high school for the county, then
hold out inducements to men of capital
to locate with us and help us develop
one Of the grandest counties upon the
North American continent. believe
that | am an average tax payer for
the county and my only desire dur
ing the very few days that are allotted
me to stay here, is to help build up our
county and | am happy to say that in
the town of Jasper there were some
few men who were democr ats and who
stand high in legal and moral and ed
vocational profession, who have stood
by me on the subject that have advo-
Gated, but, | am truly sorry to say that
some of my republican friends, of
which party do strictly adhere to in
state and national issues, who pay more
| tax than / do failed me. These
men, or some of them, are good chris
| tian men, but it does seem to me that
they wished to avenge, their grievance
on me for one official act when | was
honest in my action as their represent.
alive in the county court, that of vot.
ing for the bond bill to build roads. II
this was a crime do plead guilty az
charged and have no apology to Offer
more than the way the money was
handled, which l had nothing to dc
with. If l was wrong in this one
official act of mine, do feel that these
good republican friends of mine should
not have waited until the 2nd of Au-
gust to take up that old two-edged and
long bladed republican knife and drive
it up to the hilt in my back. If they
acted wrong freely forgive them.
So in conclusion | will say to them
to rally around the flag, boys, rail-!
