The citizens of Ashland have just

the electors of that town, by vote
of 200 for and 22S against, decided
that the trolley line should not be
permitted to come to Ashland. It
Is said that only half Of the people
entitled to vote took the trouble to
do so, and another significant state
ment is made, which Is that the op-
position to the trolley line came out

who is responsible for the verdict
shown by ballot in Ashland last Sat
urday. Experience teaches that there
are in every community certain
percentage of the non-progrcssiye
element which can always be counted
on to turn out at every election.
There Is another class that seldom
troubles itself with matters of In

THE ELIMINATION OF DISEASE

THE ELIMINATION OF DISEASE.
DR.. Liston Homer Montgomery
says that the span of human life can
be heightened to 100 years, and even
longer, II certain rules of living and
sanitation are carried out, and he
further states that he hopes to see
the time when the whole country will
be teeming with octogenarlans. The
doctor believes in curing diseases
promptly, but his best exertions
would be given to the prevention OF
diseases. To this end federal
board Of health, he says, is most es-
sential.
The doctor makes the following
suggestion in connection with his
plans to extend human life to 1870
years. The elimination of quacks and
unprincipled physicians; the abolition
Of poorly equipped hospitals and med
ical schools the enforcement of the
pure food and drugs act; cold storage
regulation; all diaries and abbattoirs
should be under government inspec-
tion municipal sanitation under
government inspection publicity and
education through literature, especi-
ally in connection with certain loath-
some diseases; the electrification of
all railroads and the doing away with
the smoke nuisance; closer inspection
of all immigrants.
DR.. Montgomery Is a man of ex-
tensive medical knowledge and In
the matter which he discusses with
so much earnestness he Is deserving
Of the confidence and assistance of
thinking people generally. There
are some hard problems to be solved
In protecting the human race. It
may take n long time to do away
with the quacks and that class Of
doctors who do not hesitate to try
experiments on their patients. The
whole trouble is that too little Is
known about medicine and until we
have such laws as will prevent the
practice of inexperienced physicians
the death rate for medical blunders
can hardly he otherwise than great
