A MEDICAL QUARREL

Beware of entrance to a medical quarrel. The
doctors are quarrelsome folk and the odium med
icum of contemporary currency much exceeds IN
acerbity the greatly attenuated odium theologicum
of these degenerate days l once wrote article
on the supposed deficiencies of American medical
education based on the findings OF Simon Flexner
of the Carnegie institute, and by way OF result
excited doctor talked to me for nearlys an hour
the subject until | succeeded in persuadng him
that Doctor Crosse was the author of the slander.
He at once went in search of Crosse. who did not
know what in the world the fuss all about
TWO KINDS OF A FIGHTER
SO much is said by way of preface to an article
written by my friend Winslow Anderson. who is
both colonel and physician, and therefore two
kinds of a fighter. Doctor Anderson edits the Pa
cific Medical Journal and he piles more sorrow on
my head because of the same unfortunate article.
Taking the precaution to send me marked copy,
he says:
statement in one of the later issues of one Of
the San Francisco daies, under the head of
status of the California medical practitioner
Il was comment another article from the
Carnegie institute; it further said that there was
one medco to each 4o1 population: Commenting
further, the writer. with sort OF mental shrug

of the learned professions, by which presume
he meant divinity, law and medicine AS to the
truth of the first statements, unfortunately,
there is denial the facts obvious and plainly
writ any of the smallest intelligence. How
ever, the writer appears to imagine that to
blame, wherein he shows his ignorance of the
first principles involved. On the contrary it is
the people, represented in their legislative
semblies, themselves. The question which IS of in

HIS IRISH CoMRADE

On the same field under Custer died Captain
Keogh, the cadet of an old Irish family. He
one of those gallant soldiers of fortune of Irish
race whose bones lie whitening on thousand bat
tleields. 1t strange fate that brought him in
association with De Rudio under the same flag, for
Keogh graduate of the papal army, enlisted
to fight for the temporal power of the pope while
De Rudio. belonged to the extreme revolutionary
party in Italy. Yet they fought comrades under
one flag because America is the melting pot of the
races.
MRS. LOWELL WHITES DIPLOMACY
Something of diplomacy as we'll as fine sense
of humor is needed for the successful handling of
a womans organization. Mrs Lowell White has
both qualities, as | propose to demonstrate. Mrs.
White, in her capacity of president of the most
numerous and active womans club in San Fran
cisco, put at the head of the ladies' reception
committee for the Pacific coast naval congress.
Now there was likewise gentlenans committee
of coordinate function, and these, in the b1under
ing way of men, assumed to dictate what the ladies
should wear-that is to say their patriotism got
the upper hand of their discretion and they con-
cluded that it would be nice compliment to Cali
fornla should the whole committee appear wearing
the state flower by way of elegant symbolism. The
intention was honorable but the fulfment was vile.
In fact these foolish brothers bought bushe basket
full of cheap and tawdry artificial poppies made
of yellow cotton
Mrs. White presented the offering for inspection
by her colleagues on the committee. 1t was met
with unanimous chorus of condemnation The
ladies were not going to the wretched things;
they did not fit the color scheme they were mean,
cheap and tawdry. Mrs. White saw that the point
was well taken, but she too diplomatic to utter
a direct snub for the blunderng
Oh, WE'LL she remarked Il imagine that these

HARD NAMES

| would not know a naturopath from purple
cow but if they are as Doctor Anderson calls them,
arrogant pretensionists am, nevertheless, not to
blame because the legislature has given them the
same license to kill and that Colonel Anderson
enjoys in his dual capacity. Possibly can persuade
him to take it out on Crosse.
Doctor Anderson then proceeds to enumerate
the extensive qualifications that the legislature
should require of medical practitioners in this wise:
# they demand that before they give their
who dear to them bindly they have into
the hands OF some physician or surgeon that the

teal education at the bedside in some properly
corps of teachers, they are surely going to get it:

to affect the supply of funerals. Il this is the
necessary measure of physicians accomplishment
and requirement it renews the late Oliver Gold
smiths perplexity:

WHICH PLAN, MR.. CALHOUN?
I have found more complete report of Mr. Cal
houn's speech recently delivered at Atlantic City.
L quote MS QeSCIlpt1On OF the TWO metnodS Dy
which public service corporation may be run
One is by their officers and officials apparently
abstaining from politics, apparently devoting
themselves entirely to business, claiming to be
businessmen and politicians, and making
secret deals with those politicians who will give
them protection This has been in some degree
the method of the past, and this has been
questionably cause of political corruption. The
corporation, without Just public opinion upon
which to rely, has found itself without any de-
fender except the corrupt politician whether
under the of reform machine, who has
demanded his price for his protection.
The other method is for the corporate manager
to defy boldly the politician, high low, who
undertakes to drive him from participation in
public affairs; to refuse to be blactmailed. to
refuse buy political protection through cam
paign contributions, put his in the plain
people of the country and, willingly, boldly and
fearlessly lay his case or his needs before them.
Which plan did Mr. Calhoun employ?

casted the result of the poll on

that time the current belief was

close and the result has justified
the forecast.

who might venture to state them would probably
lose his job in five minutes. They do not touch on
them because they are afraid of nferences that point
to socialism, and yet there is pressing need that
they shall be faced and faced at or this nation
will be submerged by irresistible tide OF
socialism.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
HAD fine MEETING

Tuesday evening in the First Meth
odist church on Main street, the an
niversary exercises of the Missionary
Methodist Historical Society were
held, Rev. T. B. Holloman, vice-presi-
dent, presiding.
The historical paper was read by
Rev. H. G. Hawkins, of Port Gibson,
president of the Port Gibson Female
College, the subject being early His
tory of Methodism in Mississippi.
An interesting feature of the SER
vice was the presenting by Rev. H. b.
Watkins of Magnolia, of several his
torical papers to the association. One
was a copy of the Methodist Christian
Herald, (the official organ of the
church at that time), which was print
ed in Natchez, in 1886.
The others were drafts or warrants
on the Missionary Society of the M
E. Church, South, signed by BishoT
Geo. F. Pierce and Bishop H. H. Kav
anaugh and endorsed by the recip
tents. These drafts are yellow will
age. still the dates, 1855 and 1856, arr
perfectly legible.
These interesting documents wer
found in the old home of the late DI
| w. H. Watkins, at Natchez, the fathe
of DR.. A. F. Watkins of this city, an
grandfather of Rev. H. B. Watkins
of Magnolia, the donor.
DR.. Holloman received the paper
gracefully, after which Rev. ]. N
