SHALL MEAT Be UNTGxED2

If there had been ten lines in the
pres ident's message on the nigh
cost of living with a recomm enda-
ton in simple justice that meats be
placed on the free list, does any
body suppose that the beef trust
would have advanced prices? A
cornered market responds quickly
to every impulse and tendency.
The protest at the polls in No
vember was understood. So also
was the silence at the White House
in December. Both found a
response in the monopoly's price
list.
A like degree of intelligence on
the part Of the peoples representa-
tives at Washington would develop
a policy as to his particular trust
which could be carried out in 60

A STRIKING INDICTMENT

The members of the medical
profession will read with interest,
if not with appreciation, book
just published entitled Medical
Chaos and Crime" written by a
physician. DR. Norman Earnestly.
1t offers the most remarkable
Indictment of the medical profcs-
sion presented in a long while.
The author. whatever his other
faults may be. can certainly not be
accused of lack of frankness-hc
unhesitatingly calls spade spade.
In fact. his frankness is really
refreshing.
He tells of wrong diagnosis
resulting in cutting out Of healthy
organs-of instruments and
sponges being left in cavities and
sewn into the patient-of amputa-
tons being resorted to for
fractures in order to avoid the
trouble of setting the bones. A
third of our cripples, he thinks.
might have been saved to useful
ness.
Profession ethics have Otter
kept honorable physicians from
denouncing those who rccklcssly
use the knife or administer the
drug; and this old policy of medical
secrecy and infallibility has shielded
many an abuse Of the sort which
DR.. Norman Earnestly here sets
forth. Some think that professional
courtesy requires them to stand
pat and keep mum even in the
presence of professional dishonol
Some readers NAV think the
author is unnecessarily severe, but
it must be remembered that some
Of the greatest practitioners of our
time have INDUCED in similar
criticisms. 1t was only recently
that DR.. George. Wagner, prcsi-
dent of the Medical society of the
state of Pennsylvania, in lecture,
went on to say:
"lf the mighty host of those who
have been rushed into untimely
graves by incompetent, pretending
physicians could be marshaIcd
into an army and marched i'm
CHASTITY review before the astonished
eyes of our Indifferent legislators,
what a ghost like multitude of
outraged victims there would be!
One which. would appall by it
magnitude and horror, and excite
the lawmakers to frenzy of action
in the elimination of the incom-
petents from the ranks of those
who assume to care for our health
and lives"
And some of them have gone
farther than this, and denounced
all drug administration, with the
exception ola few in the pharma-
copeia, as the vericst quackcry.
1t at. least cannot he denied that
the medical profession boasts its
share of MISUNDERSTANDING a
trifle more than its share. Tono-
pah Bonanza. 100.

Narrow
Escape.

The conductor ola freight train
reported to us Tuesday afternoon
that while shifting cars on the
east end of the yards, near the
school grounds, just after school
was dismissed, some of the school
children came very near being
run over by a car that was being
pushed off the switch One OF
the larger boys, he said, narrow
ly escaped with his life.
This incident is fair warning.
How much longer will it be be-
fore there is something definite
done about a walk to tho school
house. But let us not expect peo-
pie to stay off the rail road until
there is some other place on
which to walk.
If it can be shown that a walk
can be completed down Baum
gardner Avenue and across the
rail road to the schoolhouse and
one down Buck Ave. from G. G.
Catron's to the schoolhouse, by
the cooperation and assistance
oe.the wide awake enterprising
citizens along those routes, for
less. cost to the public, and in a
shorter time than other routes,
then let us agree on those routes
and get busy at once
In considering this proposition,
remember that there is already a
considerable amount of walk
built along the streets above men
toned, and there is no right-of-
way to bel aid f5r. Besides, many
proper Y owners will gladly build
walks in front of their own prop
erty.
Let us spend all the money we
can get for WALKS in building
