MEDICAL FREEDOM
NATIONAL LEAGUE HAS OVER
100000 MEMBERSHIPS STATE
HAS A BRANCH.
Organization Formed for Purpose Of
Defeating PaternaI, Unnecessary
and Unjust Medical Leg
islation.

The National League for Medical
Freedom, an organization with over
100000 members in the United States,
has been criticized in some quarters,
and on that account has been misun-
ierstood by not few people. Con-
srary to what has been alleged, 1t Is
aot the representative of any Inter
ests," or school or schools of medi-
cine, nor, on the other hand, was It
brought into being to antagonize any
particular school of doctors. 1t was
organized for the purpose of defeating
paternal, unnecessary, extravagant,
unjust and un-American medical legis-
lation.
This league is not opposed to, but
earnestly favors sanitation or quaran-
tine laws properly administered and
the rigid enforcement of the present
Pure Foods and Drugs Act 90.
1t is not opposed to needed work Of
state, county or municipal authorities
along these lines, but is opposed to
any clique of political doctors" seek
ing to clothe themselves with arbi-
trary power through medical legisla-
ton Of city, state and national gov
eminent. all under the ,pretense OF the
public veal.
The leagues Declaration Of Prin-
ciples" is as follows:
l. We oppose the granting of mo-
nopoly of healing practice TO any sys-
tenn or systems of healing
2. We oppose any attempt to take
from us our inalienable right to en-
ploy in the hour of illness the prac-
tician or system of our choice
8. We oppose the establishment Of
state medicine as We would oppose
the establishment of state religion.
4. While in favor Of sanitation and
cleanliness in the highest degree, we
oppose the attempted use Of these gem
eral principles as a cloak for compul
sorry medical treatment.
s. We oppose the infringement by
threatened extension Of federal bureau
cratic power Of the right of state to
regulate and control its own health
affairs.
s. We oppose discrimination in IA.
vor OF any school Of healing in the Sc
lection of federal, state or municipal
officers charged with the administra-
ton OF sanitary. quarantine or other
health regulations.
Z. We oppose the use OF public
funds, public schools or other public
institutions for the dissemination OF
literature, the advertising OF the theo.
ries, or the furtherance of the propa-
.ganda Of any particular system OF
healing.
s. We propose TO prosecute cam.
paign of education and publicity not
only to arrest any further encroach-
ment upon our right to select the prac-
tician or system of our choice in the
hour of illness, but also to regain the
rights that have been taken from us
and to establish forever the principle
Of medical freedom.

east OF town. They have prospected
practically every twenty acre tract
between Knoxville and Hawkeye.
One mile east of town in the
Hawkeye district, Daniel James has
just opened up mine in a splendid
six-foot vein Of coal. Five miles
east, the Anderson company of Des
Moines has one shaft in operation
and has just selected site upon
which to sink another shaft. The
company is running a spur of the
Rock Island from Flagler to their
main shaft. 1t will be over four
miles long and will, be completed by
July 1.
In Liberty township, just west of
Bussey, J. o. Dowd and John Fall
are sinking a new shaft on the w.
F. Richards farm. They expect to
penetrate an eight foot vein of coal.
This shaft is in the neighborhood Of
the Everist neighborhood, where a
. & !
big company is working the thickest
coal vein in the state. 1t was re-
ported this morning that Brogan &
Bloomfield have just finished pros
pecting on farm near Bussey and
that they sunk holes through two
veins, one three feet in thickness
and the other five feet.
Taking all these activities in con-
nection with the development of the
coal fields and the construction
work on the Allerton-Carlisle short
line in the south part of the county,
together with the mines already in
operation, it looks as though Mar
ion county is to become the leading
coal producing county of the state

REACHING THE LOGICAL GOAL
Gradual but Practical Gains Of Re-
form Movement From Start
to Present Date.
By CHRISTINE Z. rINLING)

By CHRIsT1NE1. TINLING.)
At the beginning of the reform
movement, when an earnest minister
suggested some Improvement in the
drinking customs, a leading paper
said. "None but an insane person
could advocate such cause" Those
we're the days when liquor reigned SUI
preme
Then came the moderate pledge
against wine and beer. not more than
glass at sitting, not more than q
pint day. A total abstinence pledge
was considered absurd, there was no
sense in going so far. What would
those old folks think If they could to-
day see the vast army of total abstain
ers? What would they think of that
decision of the United States Supreme
Court that there is no inherent right
In citizen to sell intoxicating drink
and that the business is attended with
danger to the community What
would they think of the authoritative
statements of our great doctors that
the value of alcohol, as medicine. is
practically nil, and that 1t would have
been better for the world II 1t had
never been known? We have come q
long way and the only logical conclu
sion will be found in national prohibi
| ton.
