Al Daniel to Judgment.
From St. Francisville True-Democrat.

from st. ET6nGlSplIle IFuG-DGt3iUEEdb.
The lofty, not to say supereilions
altitude. which the medical profession
takes towards the press is one which
has always more or less nettled the
latter, and would be even more an
neyiDg were it not so artless and
childish. For the press knows, If the
average physician realizes it not, that
the press has much to DO with the
building.up of all mems regulations,
the medical man not excepted. For
however the physician may seorn adj
vertising, and withhold his support
in that form from the newspapers, the
printing of his title alone is an adver
tisement, and every case in which be
is favorabIy mentioned, an endorse
ment.
But even the wisest doctors have
been blind on this subject-haVe
covered their heads, ostrich-like, and
declared they we're modestly and eth
ically hidden.
1t is inevitable that more sensible
view Of the real situation must come
In time TO these beneficent servants OF
humanity. They must see event
ually that as they cannot do without
the press-or escape from it, they
should instead make use of it, convert
it into an able eoadjutor in their war
against disease.
It is therefore hopeful sign of the
future that at the late meeting of the
Louisiana Medical Society, in the
course of a discussion of cancer and
It's treatment, while some of the ply
sicians deprecated any newspaper
propaganda, DR.. Sims of Donaldson
vile made strong speech in favor OF
the press. He said that the newspa-
pers reached the masses of the people
and it was the duty of the society to
benefit humanity. Education along
simple and practical lines in reference
to the prevention of disease or the
proper care of the sick, was a means
Of helping the people, and in no
other way could this be done so we'll
as through the columns Of the news
papers. He thought press censor
committee should be appointed TO edit
the articles and give them out to the
papers on this tremendously important
ssbiect.
We welcome this Daniel come to
judgment. He has sown the seed of
useful publicity in the hard ground Of
medical ethics, and it is to be hoped
devoutly that it may germinate and
frnctify, as of tenefs to humanity in
general, and make the noble PROBES
sion of medicine thousand fold more
useful.

The Shaking I'm.

The condition Of chronic hysteria
which any discussion of the Solid
South, 2 20 matter how academic, al
ways discloses as obtaining in such
papers as the Times Democrat and
Picayune Of New Orleans, is a sure in
dieation that they feel the ground
swell which has loosened and is still
further loosening the hold of the. Dem
ocratic party on the voters Of The
south.
That such a movement is takiog
place Is a fact too well-known to admit
of debate.
When the bankers and lawyers
throughout the state begin to realize
where their true interest lies and to
think and vote accordingly, as is now
the case, the time is not far off when
the votes will be counted and show
enough to affect results.
These people know conditions quite
as we'll as the newspapers which at
tempt to brighten them.
These men are accustomed to deal
with conditions as they find them, and
they usually deal successfully. They
can be neither frightened, wheedled,
bullied nor bought. They are not
nffiee seekers ard oftener than not are
the leaders of public opinion in their
communities. They do business and
do not talk over much.
The only people frightenep at the
outlook ARE the political managers
hitherto accustomed to do as they
please Without accountability. Their
apprehension is we'll justified and the
community is not without good cause
for congratulation.

The Shinn Con tenlnt Case.

/. The tone of comment by the press in
some quarters On this cause ceIehre''
il mistaken and unfortunate What
ever one's Individual opinion on The
merits If the case Itself. nothing can
justify a reference to the court that is
|disrespeetful or coniemptuous. The
civilized world today recognizes that
the supreme court of the United States
is the most august tribunal Instituted
among men. lis opinions and judg.
ments are held and treated in the
highest confidence and res poet by
every organized government IN the
world. This is partly because the law
of lis being gives It larger powers
than any other court il the world
possesses. but it springs chiefly from
the fact that the char acter of the me1
composing the court has always been
such as to command confidence, anG
the learning and ability possessed
and displayed IN the opinions pub
lished has enforced q respect thai
could not otherwise be obtained.
The fact that there was dissent in
this case indicates that there were
certainly two sides TO the questions
involved. The judgment of the court,
however, ought to be respected an0
upheld by all good citizens. It is ne
essary-how necessary is not always
reeognized-that all men having the
welfare of the community and the per.
petuation of our institutions at heart
should at all times respect the admin
istration of justice aud support the
authorities constituted for that
purpose.
Individual human liberty is possible
to be maintained only through the
reign of law. The law must be allowed
to take its course and the courts mus
be sustained simply because there is
no other human way out OF anarchy.
The legal principles under which
Sheriff Shipp. has been convicted art
few and plain and simple. The only
question was as to the facts. No one
who has pot. seen tie aetual record o1
the evidence taken has a right to have
or express an opinion on these facts.
because such a one cannot possibly
know what was proven. This courl
does not deal lightly with any case.
The presumptions are that it is right.
The mandate of every court must be
respected ard obeyed until regularly
set aside or annulled. Anything else
is law lessness, leads to anarchy and
cuts the tap root OF government of the
people by the people.
