The A. l.. gladly accepted that class

can do the same, if he knows how.

KITT failed to land that cabinet
position, and Burke failed to secure a
place on the ways and means com

do not place so high an estimate up
on the craftsmanship of these gentle
men as does the Argus Leader. Too
bad that someone couldn't have post

SENATOR CRAwroRp has been given

SENATOR CRAWFORD has been given
a place on the inter-oceanic canal
committee This committee, the
opponents of Mr.. Crawford tell us,
is one of the most important commit
tees in congress. On the level, it dis
charges the function of messenger
boy in conveying the correspondence
between the officials in charge of the
construction of the Panama canal and
the senate. 1t has less real canal
work to do than a board of county
commissioners organized as drainage
ditch committee. It's real value to a
senator is the means it affords for
advertising as it can use the name OF
work of such magnitude as the
Panama canal. Kit worked this op-

repeating all other laws.
Meanwhile DR.. Gully has continued
to practice. 1t was his contention that
partisan politics was back of the ac-
ton of the old medical board and the
courts.
Case of Dr. Peters.
A case Of great local interest was
that of DR.. w l.. Peters, whose appli-
cation was rejected. Charges were
filed by Dr. G. H. Thraildll, alleging
that DR.. Peters, as secretary of the
old medical board of the Chickasaw
nation, had been guilty of mal-feas-
ance in office, involving also unprofes-
sional conduct "The board did not
pass on the merits Of the charges
against Dr.. Peters, said Dr.. Davis,
secretary of the board, but with the
charges pending, could do nothing but
withhold license, pending investiga-
tion.s
A statement by Dr. Peters is pub
