principles of individual liberty that
parents have the inalienable right
to have their children examined
and if necessary, treated by the
physician of their own choice. Ev-
cry family has their own practi-
toner, and this is a right inherent
in free citizenship.
This bill is but the enterting
for future legislation of this class,
and if the medical profession sue
ceeds in carrying through it's pro-
gram the time will come when a
considerable portion of the taxes
paid by every citizen will be APP
propriated to support this profess
sion, and not only the school, but
the home and every activity of life
will be conducted under the scru-
tiny and subject to the approval or
tlisapproval of the doctors.
You will have no say as to the
physical care and condition of your
children. They will be vaccinated,
inoculated anti-toxined, pasteured,
sterilized, disinfected and operated
upon for defective eyes, ears, noses,
appendicitis, brains, etc. Portions
of their brains to be removed to
cure hereditary evil (?) tendencies,
and in fact, they are to be emas-
culated and otherwise carved, cut
and muti!ated for life at the will
and the dictate of a medical board
or a medical inspector, without the
consent of the parents, or rejected
from the free public schools, OF
other penalties enforced.
The whole tendency, of which
this bill is the entering wedge, has
become alarming, and is, in some
respects, becoming not only intol
cradle but infamous. If it con.
tinues, fifty years hence will wit

OBJECT TO PHYSICAL
EXAMINATION IN SCHOOLS

The following circular has been
handed to the Bonanza, with the
request that it be published. While
it is probable that the Committee
on Publication for Nevada" is un-
duly alarmed, the bulletin is pub
lished for what it is worth:
Bulletin No. 2, Committee on Pub
LEGATION for Nevada, 800 odd Eel
lows Temple, Reno, Nevada, Feb
2, 1911.
Dear Co-worker: the doctors of
the state have a committee on leg
islation which is seeking to haze
the legislature enact laws for their
special benefit such as law for
the medical inspection of pupils
in the public schools of this state;
containing provisions for the ap-
pointment of four medical exam
iners, and, in all probability, an
alopathis physician will be appoint
ed to conduct these examinations
and pass upon the right of pupils
to admission to the free public
schools; and to deny the right to
admission in such cases as the eX-
aminer thinks proper; subordinat-
to the will of the official doctor.
Perhaps other legislation will be
proposed and bills introduced for
vaccination and medical treatment.
All of this class of proposed legis-
lation will be closely watched by
the committee on publication and
the assistants to Carson City, and
you will be properly advised by wire
of the name and number of the
bill introduced, and where neces-
sary, further advice will be given
as to the nature of the wire fol-
you to request friends to send to
the members of the senate and as
sembly from your locality.
The pledge of the political par
ties at the last election was for a
taxation by the adjustment OF
state commissions and officers al
ready too numerous and expensive
We believe these pledges will be
consistently kept by you, and all
bills for the creation of additional
officers and expenses respected and
not enacted into laws, where either
state, county or city taxation is
imposed. This legislation is not de-
manded by the people, but is legis.
lation in the interest of particular
class of doctors.
The liberties of the people will
be interfered with and restricted
In that they will be compelled tt
submit their children to the exam
nation of particular school, ant
their right to select their owl
family physician prohibited by state
law; and in the event that the of
fetal doctor does not pass thu
child, the child of this citizen anC
taxpayer is thus denied the priv
leges of the free schools. Pray who
shall exercise. this autocratic gov

fly in the contest say health officials, will
have rendered a benefit to the community
at large. One fly may look sman in the
regulation size fly box, but when the fact
that nearly S,000,H0.0OO are descended
from single insect in one season is
considered it is readily seen that several
boxes of flies have been prevented rom
being a part of next seasons pest horde
Not only this, but one fly Is capable or
causing any number of deaths, and his
destruction, therefore, must be blessing
to the population.
Speaking of the diseases that hies
spread, Dr. Murray today said:
"A fly can carry around enough tu-
bercle bacilli to cause 100 or more cases
of consumption. These germs can grow
In milk and on foodstuffs. Diseases such
as tuberculosis, typhoid fever, Intestinal
disorders and cholera may BIO communl-
Gated by the fly.
IAN Of this goes to PROVE" he con-
tinued, that every boy and girl In the
contest, regardless of the number Of flies
they kill, will be deserving OF debt or
gratitude from the public"
According to DIR. Murray, children, In
their war on the pests, should not let
| their destruction extend to any insects
| that they may run across. Wasps,
spiders and house centipedes, or thou
sandlegs," all war on the fly and are his
greatest enemies outside of man. These
| insects should not be harmed, says the
health expert SO that they may also
| assist in the fight.

AS the fight progresses the interest of

Washington homes are the scenes OF
conspiracies Matched against the fly. So

which they wave after the example set

PREMIER WARD
AS A SINGER

Sir Joseph Ward, Premier of New
Zealand, was great favorite on board
the Makura coming up from Australia.
One night the second-class passengers
held a concert, and Sir Joseph was
invited to be present. He accepted
the invitation, and at its conclusion
stated that he had enjoyed it so much
that he hoped that he would be in
vited to the next. If he were invited,
he undertook to sing, provided that
one of the other first-class passengers
sang also. He would say that Miss
Ward would also sing. The concert
was held, and Sir Joseph "obliged,
and so did Miss Ward
No one stated whether Sir Joseph
was a good singer or not, but all the
praise was lavished on Miss Ward &.
w. ]. Bailey, one of the passengers,
in thanking Sir Joseph and Miss Ward
for their vocal contributions, stated
that people seemed to appreciate sing
ing better than they did speeches 1t
was suggested that perhaps it would
be a good idea if Sir Joseph on his
next campaign, took Miss Ward along
and induced her TO sing her father into
parliament, instead of forcing him to
talk his way there. Anyone could
riddle a financial budget into tatters,"
CALAMITY observed Mr.. Bailey, "but
no one in the world could say thing
against Miss Wards singing"
Sir Joseph in reply said that he
thought it was an excellent idea, more
especially, he added as he did not
think that the opposition had anybody
who could sing.
