tage and gain. A farmer may shirk
in his work upon the road, and In
a way beat his road overseer, but
every time he does it he is doing
himself an injustice and possibly an
injury.
In working out his road-taxes
every farmer can we'll afford to
work as hard and as long. under
the supervision of a road overseer
as though he were working his own
field. In fact, we feel that every
farmer is justified in doing little
additional road-work on the high
way along his farm, even though il
must be donated to the good of the
cause.
The state is in need of good roads
and in time will have much better
ones than it now possesses. but not
until we have different supervision
and more earnest work and CO
operation on the part of all con
cerned Road improvement, like all
other things, must be carried on
under a more modern and up-to
date method The old way will not
suffice. The more progressive farm
ers are beginning to recognize the
need of change.

EXAMINING THE DOCTORS.

Six thousand nine nundfeQ ana
sixty physicians were examined
during 1911 for a license to pratice
medicine in the different states.
These figures are the result OF the
tabulation of the reports from all
the state examining boards, as shown
in The Journal of the American
Medical association. Comparison
with previous years shows that 1904
physicians were examined in 1910,
1921 in 1909, and 1910 in 1908. APP
parently the number of applicants
for license is decreasing, as is the
number of medical schools and grad
yates.
There were 119 medical colleges
in the United States in 1911, which
had graduates examined. One hun
dred and sixteen graduates of for
eign colleges were examined IN
twenty-one states. The largest
number in any one state being
forty-three, in New York. Graduates
of Canadian schools were examined
in twenty-seven states, NEST OF these
being border-line states.
Of the $500 physicians examined
in 1911, 1919 per cent. failed 10
pass the examination. In North Car
DINA Massachusetts, Mississippi, Ore
gon and Tennessee, in which nom
graduates are eligible to examina-
ton, $50 undergraduate students
were examined, of which III, or
1856 per cent, failed. In Tennes-
see, out of 213 candidates register
ed by examination, 10, or BIG per
cent, were non-graduates.
The most important result OF the
tabulation of state board reports
made annually by the American
Medical association, is the informa.
ton it gives as to the quality OF
the work done by the various medi'
cal schools of the United States.
A school whose graduates show a
high degree of efficiency before the
state examining boards is obviously
giving better course OF instruc-
ton than the medical school whose
graduates show a high percentage
of failures.

THE LEAGUE
AFTER ABHTER Fight

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 27.-An
attack was made Oh the Anti-Saloon
League of America at the Methodist
general conference in the Mime
apolis Auditorium when resolutions
were adopted making a general de-
nunciation of the liquor traffic.
Former Governor Hanly of Indiana
led the majority who overwhelming
-ly defeated the effort to have the
conference, indorse temperance or
CARNATIONS generally and not the
Anti-Saloon league practicularly.
=. Attacked BY New York Man.
The attack on the league was
made by F. E. Baldwin of Elmira,
N. Y, who, in presenting the minor
ity report, said that the conference
should not indorse the league be-
cause it is not under the control
of the Methodist church and worked
in opposition to other temperance
societies. He pointed out that other
churches in recent conventions prac-
tically had rejected the league as
an effective agent.
Mr.. Hanly championed the league,
saying that it had been started by
"a Methodist and is now largely Of
ficered by Methodists
I'VE are now in the midst of a
great crisis in the great cause" he
cried. IF you now discredit the
league you will sound the death
knell of the amendment proposed to
the constitution of West Virginia
making that strong prohibition state.
The league is beyond the reach of
criticism"

back of the hail.
"Striks down that organization
and there will be great glee in

FARM BARN is BURNED

While Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Har-

SOCIALIST DENIED CITIZENSHIP

SOCiAllSI DENIEO ClIlZENSHIf
That a man may be denied Ameri-
can citizenship on account of his
political beliefs is the substance of
a decision of Federal Judge Han
ford of the District Court in Wash
ington which has aroused vast
amount of discussion all over the
country. The case was that of
Leonard OLSON, a resident of Seat
tie, who had obtained naturalization
papers.
In his decision Hartford annulled
these papers because OLSON had
admitted that he was socialist,
frequenter of socialist meetings
and a speaker for socialist princi-
pies, and that he admitted that he
advocated radical changes in the
constitution of this country, that he
held these views when his papers
were taken out.
HanfOrd is the Judge who made a
number of unpopular decisions in
the past and whom the citizens
of Seattle hung in effigy not long
ago for injunction forbidding the
people from refusing to tender more
than a nickel fare in Seattle. The
case is to be appealed to higher
courts.
