the past twenty-five years, many of
which will readily come to mind. But
the other day we had caller who, among
other interesting things, said that there
was one piece of mans handiwork in
which no improvement had been made
for 400 years, and that was the fiddle. 1t
had not been and could not be changed in
shape or construction, and the fiddles of
today, made on the same lines, only need
ed age to make them equal to those pro-
duced by the old masters.
There is evidently something doing in
the medical world, Judging from the
pamphlets and bulletins received almost
daily. The pamphlets are compilations
of articles that have appeared in The
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation and deal with medical fakes and
fakirs. Per contra, The National Maya
zine for April, 1912, contains an article
by B. O. Flower under the caption of
"The National League, its aim and its
Contention for Medical Freedom in
which he denies the charges of the
American Medical Association and says
of the aim of the National League: "It
will seek through publicity and educa-
ton to unmask and oppose any legisla-
ton which endeavors to put into power
any one system of healing and use the
government postage, money and machin-
cry to enforce its theories and opinions
upon citizens who believe in other forms
of healing" In this connection we no.
tice that John E. Darling of Winterport
was one of the speakers before COM
mittee of the Massachusetts legislature
in opposition to bill which the remon-
strants declared looked to the formation
of a medical trust in Massachusetts. Mr..
Darling was the first speaker and was
followed by exGov. Bates, Hon. Samuel
j. Elder, Hon. Charles Bakstran and
many other noted people. The commit
tee on Public Health reported adversely
on the bill.

Washington Whisperings.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13, 1912.
President Ransdel of the National
Rivers and Harbcrs Congress, and men,
Der of Congress from Louisiana, has pub
licly announced that the 9th annual con-
vention of the biggest of the waterway
organizations will be held as usual in
Washington on December 4th, 9Th and
9Th. At one time it looked as il this
years convention would De held in some
city other than Washington. with the re-
suit that Spokane, Buffalo and New Or
leans became active candidates for the
honor of entertaining the Congress.
Spokane was particularly dligent in
pushing its campaign. When the men.
bers of the Advisory Committee of Il e
National Rivers and Harbors Congress
began its final consideration of the que =
ton, however, and ascertained what it
would cost each delegate to go to the Pa
cific Northwest, to say nothing of the
time it would take to make the trip, the
committee unanimously rescinded its
former action and decided to hold the an
nual convention in the Capital of the
Nation. Of course there will be con-
siderable disappointment, particularly
among western friends of waterway
over the decision of the committee to re-
erse its action, but as this is Presiden-
tial year and all the members of the
lower House are to be elected, besides
governors and State off ers in half the
States of the Union, it was thought good
business sense to stay in Washington this
year.
