FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Amerl.
can Medical Association.

The Political activity Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
he avowed purpose of the Doctors OF
the Regular or Allopathic school, OF
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage Of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so.called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice Of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
In which the faith of so many intelli-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session OF
tut AlltIltdu NltuiIti SoSoNioNioh
held in June OF this year expressed a
hope THAI a larger number Of physi-
Clans than heretofore vi offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In It's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly II tho
work Of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, a larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
W selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about G5,000 members Of whom
$1,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their afiliation with state or
local societies. The Association OWNS
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and its total assets are s291,-
567.S9. Its liabilities, at the time OF
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$2l, 906. The excess Of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate OF
about 100000 a year, and the purpose
OF the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine. and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation. compel
all Of the people of the United States
to pay a Doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

WHAT The WoMeN WORE.
OF Course the Story Teller pIdnp
Really Mean Just That

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has a tale to tell of con-
ditions that are really sensational.
And the worst Of It was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
sbirtwa,st man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then lie told about the habit every
body down there had contracted OF
going without hats. This is the way
he told II to an interested company:
you see everybody down there
going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
Just their shirts and trousers, and the
women are Just like them"
