Ex-Governor Cobb.

Secure in the respect and esteem of
all, Hon. William H. Oobb retires from
the highsotlice he has filled for the
last four years Under his admins
tration the State has prospered and
progressed. During the four years he
has seen the taxable wealth increased
$50, 100000 or II per cent, and he has
seen the bonded debt of the State re-
duced conside fably more than one
half. The able management of the
finances, by means of which this rapid
reduction was possible is one of the
prominent features OF the administra-
ton, bringing as it has appreciable re-
lief in the tightening of the public
burden. During large part of this
period the State has prospered as
never before Measures of the high
est Importance have been taken,
some of them ON the initiative of the
Governor. 1t WIS, for instance, at
his suggestion that the office of State
auditor was created, which as all ad-
nit has made for economy and eff
cheney and more than paid for itself
in the saving to the State. During
this time also the State highway de-
partment has been established, with
results that meet with general APP
prevail in the direction OF securing
better roads and better knowledge
how to make good roads. Steps have
been taken for better care of the de-
pendent classes, especially in the
case of the blind and feeble minded
Of course credit for all these things is
not claimed for Governor Cobb, and
he would be the last man to make
such claim, but notable improve

vestry Of the Centenary Methodist
Episcopal church On Monday evening
The President, MIR. H A. Dinsmore in
the chair the usual business was dis
posed of and the subject Of the even
ing announced "The psychic treat
ment of nervous disorders.
Owing to the absence Of DR.. Kenni-
son Of Madison, who was to open the
discussion with an address, the Rev.
DR.. Leitch suppIeme nted with an ad-
dress on the various methods of
Divine healing as represented by the
several modern cults Of healing such
as the Christian Alliance, The NV
In ought, Christian Science, The I'm
manuel Movement and the Roman
Catholic shriBes. The thought de
veloped was that ali healing al d.

means when practically, similar re-
suits are reached by the seemingly
divergent schools Of thought. No
one has monopoly of Gods world,
whether physical or spiritual and
certainly no one c an claim a monop-
oily of Divine love or power To heal
There is universal law Of life that
pervades the world. This law II AZ
constant as the law of gravitation; to
touch that law, whether by faith or
prayer or by materia medica is to get
results and results count, no matter
what the Denomination or school
may call itself.
DIR. Merrill referred TO several in
stances in his practice where faith
and confidence in the practitioner
seemed to work beneficialiy. Inc
doctor deplored the tendency OF The
times which showed that many imnIa-
ture and unframed minds were cab
bling with things beyond their reach.
Individuals with absolutely no know
ledge of anatomy or physiology Vere
posing as specialists and curists, CON
ceit and mediocre ability with such
were at premium with others of
their mental make up and it was time
to call halt on such immature tend
encies before serious harm was done.
DR.. Wadsworth spoke on the gener-
al tendency of the modern Bchooi Of
medicine TO lay more stress upon the
mental or psychological abilities Of
the patients, and spoke of the benefit
of Keeping the patients mind IL a
hopeful, healthful condition. Tn
doubtedly said the doctor there is a
large and growing field for the speeia-
list in this Department., which has too
frequently been given over To the
quack and charlatan, whose chief
stock in trade was self -conceit. The
duty of the practitioner was to
tnroughly qualify himself for his
work, then study each patient and
give what experience and judgement
essential in order To accomplish the
oest results.
The discussion was tnroughly tn
joyed by all present.
