FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri.
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
the 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
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that a larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In its annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly if the
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
class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
900 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their utilization with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and it's total assets are $291,-
567S9. It's liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21 900. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about 100000 year, and the purpose
nf tho nix tiOn IN 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.

He looked at Trudaine, and his eyes

thing of the energy and sudden decis-
ion of the days when he was a man in
office under the Reign of Terror.

his hand, turned away quickly in the
direction of the cottage.

SOUTH AMERICAN RAILWAYS.
They Run East and West Instead O
North and South.


Although to the North American
opponents of that project there has
seemed a discouraging lack of interest
in the Pan-American railway scheme
on the part of South American railroad
men, there has really been no cessa-
ton of the activity in their more i'm
mediate spheres, says the American
Review of Reviews.
Let us build the lines the country
needs,' they say, land don't ask us to
go out of our way to further scheme
which, however practicable from an
engineering point of view, would not
pay us dividends in this century, and
possibly not in the next.
1--WE concede that we might benefit
indirectly through the increased stabil.
ity of government that would follow
the building of an intercontinental
line, but that benefit is too remote to in.
terest us at a time when we have
ample opportunity for expanding all
our available funds in the construction
of lines that will yield returns from
the day they are opened"
So it happens that while there has
never been so much activity in railway
construction in South America as al
the present time, almost without excep.
ton the new lines are following the
parallels rather than the meridians,
running east and west rather than
north and south.

Antiquity of Tennis.

Among all the popular games of to-
day none perhaps is of greater an
tiquity than tennis, for it is said to
have originated in the ball games of
the ancient Greeks and Romans.
In the first place the ball was struck
by the hand, later on heavy gloves
were worn or cords strapped around
the palm; and the racquet was con-
trived during the fifteenth century in
France, where the game was very pop
ular, and thence introduced into Eng,
land.
