CALIFORNIA MACHINE

10Y SVItCU TICSS ICdSCO ~ITCl
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IT,
Hiram Johnson, progressive repub-
lican, Lincoln-Roosevelt leader, and
an avowed insurgent, set the sema-
phore signals that sent the so-called
railroad machine" into the ditch
in yesterdays primary.
Today's added returns show that
Johnson and his insurgent col
leagues have swept practically
everything before them in the first
direct primary ever held in Cali
fornia.
1t is estimated that Johnson re-
ceived 10000 votes throughout the
state, to Charles F. Curry's $4,000.
Alden Anderson. open champion of
the machine polled something
like 25,000 votes. The weak show
date was one of the surprises of
the voting.
The landslide of Johnson votes
is believed to have demoralized
"the organization" The machine
men We're confident that Anderson
would carry every city and would
receive the support of machine fac
tions throughout the state. The size
OF the Johnson vote surprised them.
The organization forces in real
ity were divided by the presence of
Curry in the field, according to the
leaders. Curry, as secretary of
state, always was machine man,
and although running on his own
initiative, he polled higher vote
than Anderson. who bore the stand
ard of the s. p.
The voters, freed from restraint
of slated conventions, repudiated
the system under which California
has previously existed, and derrick
ed the machine to the scrap heap
politically.
The clearing away of the smoke
after the battle. discloses Johnson
opposed by Theodore A. Bell, who
was nominated without opposition
yesterday by the democrats. The

The coal industry came first.
That gave work for the men and

Then the silk men Of Paterson

They saw poor homes and little

That meant cheap labor. The

STILL MORE LANDS
Over One Million Five Hundred Thou
sand Acres for Settlers

Sioux Falls-All of the conference
reports on the Pine Ridge and Rose
bud opening bills have been approved
in both house and senate and went TO
the white house for the last act need
ed to make them laws of the land.
Senator Gamble got the reports &C
cepted in the senate and Chairman
Burke guided them safely through the
dangers in the house. These bills
throw open to settlement l,500, coo
acres of land in the southern part of
the state. Registration points will be
selected by the department and the
applicants will have to journey to n
of these points to deposit their appll-
cations. AS chairman of the Indian
committee Burke has succeeded in
passing a large number of big bills
since December l. Besides these two
important measures he has pushed
through the omnibus bill, the appro-
priations bill and the Cheyenne liver
bill. All these measures have been
of immense concern to the state. The
last of the bills, which opens to set
Element the counties of Mellette on
the Rosebud reservation, and Bennett,
on the Pine Ridge, brings the first
break iE the Pine Ridge reserve. 1t
also cuts the Rosebud reserve down
to the one county of Todd, and 1t will
not be long until the Indian reserva-
ton, as a part of the state, will be
such a minor quantity that 1t will not
be noticed. The opening of Mellette
county will no doubt stimulate the
extension Of the Northwestern road
from Dallas to the northwest across
Trip county. Some time ago that
company filed a resolution of extern
sion from Dallas to a point at the
southeast corner of Mellette county,
and now that the county is to be op-
ened to settlement there will be a
stronger reason for the carrying on
of the work.

supposed represented the hidden mys-
teries of the science of medicine. But,
alas! we must remember our teachers
are only human and are subject to
error, and that this old teaching upon
this subject effects a tremendous pref
udice in our accepting 1t without in
vestigation on its merits. Lind that
the great masses of people afflicted
with cancer have consulted their home
physicians early and late. | find that
the average physician is positively as
ignorant, either of the diagnosis or the
remedy for cure of cancer, as the
most ordinary unprofessional citizen.
This is a sweeping statement, but 1t
is true. Perhaps the greatest cause
of this prejudice against the system
of medicine or caustics for cure OF can
Ger is due to a lack of experience and
instruction in this definite line, and
not due to any lack of desire to do
the human race good. In many in
stances the physician has e e the
hopelessness of treating with the knife,
and frankly told his patient so. This
course is better than to hold him
under treatment, as many do, doing
nothing himself, and giving the pa
tent no chance of relief anywhere
else until it is everlastingly too late.
Now, if physicians would go outside
of the profession and outside of its
teachings and again go to the public
for ideas they will lind that almost
universally the public will prefer, and
in many instances demand, that the
physician use a medicine OF nothing,
to cure his cancer-and this is correct.
The old grandmother at the bedside
/ believe can positively beat most
young pbvsicians-and possibly many
of the best Of us-with her plain old
fashioned, humble ways of doctoring
the infant. We all know that these
old ladies are excellent diagnosticians
Of the children's ailments, and they
are excellent nurses and doctors as
well. True they may be home spun
true they may have some ideas that
are rather whimsical. OF course, we
the profession, have nc ideas like
that. o, no! but our ideas may be EN-
bodied in scientific mistakes and tech
meal errors too numerous to men

t~ifically brought about; but as long as
the doctor can explain the matter II
does not make any difference abour
the death Of the child.

have to slam a good many doctors and
especially their ethics. Personally, I
feel like scoring them for their slack
ness in investigation. They oppose
the very best method, the most reli-
able method, plastic or caustics, tor
the cure of cancer, and they oppose
this without any practical working
knowledge, either Of the disease or
the remedy, and ! will here openly

the honor of presenting this subject
to one Medical College-The Lincoln

of the same. To any n who is in

will find this subject has been handled
openly for the merit there is in 1t, pro
or con, with absolutely 40 secrets,
either in formulas or in practice. 1t

grateful citizen to maintain for his pc
cuniary use any secrets that would
relieve the world from this dreaded
malady. have an excellent practice
in this line myself; and this article ia
a plea in behalf of human kind that
other physicians take It up. | dare
say that at least 1000 hospitals instead
of one in the United States could and
would be packed with sufferers from
cancer, and that If physicians would
do their duty and lay down their pref
udices and investigate honestly and
practice honestly and skilfully,
scarcely a death In one hundred would
occur from cancer, whereas, now there
is scarcely one in one hundred saved,
and | hereby challenge any physician
to dispute the truth of this statement.
They could not if they would only
visit us and see daily as we see.
1t is not the physicians who know
us personally, it is not the physicians
who have visited our institution. with
whom We have to contend, but it is
the great army who have seer nothing

they ought to be severely criticised.

Looking Over the Land

Pierre-Representatives OF the state
land department are in the Black
Hills, working in connection with rep
resentatives of the general govern
ment in making a survey of the sec
tons which the state will trade"
with the general government for tracts
on the outer edge Of the forest re-
serve, and give up all Of sections six
teen and t~hirty-six within the re-
serve.
The question of title, and that Of
dual jurisdiction on the forest reserve
have both been causes of friction, and
by this exchange the state will not
be compelled to look after, nor de-
fend title to lands within the reserve,
and will secure its holding in COM
pact tracts adjoining the agricultural
lands surrounding the Black Hills for
est reserve. There will be no trouble,
in the Sioux reserve, in Harding com
ty, as the state made other selections
for the state lands in those reserves
some time ago.
