COUNTY WARS ON
MEDICAL TRUST
Doctors Accused of Combining
to Force Pay Increase For
Jones' Public Physician.

Jones county, through its board of
county commissioners, is very much at
war with local medical trust" COM
| posed of all of the Jones county physi-
clans but two. and has brought it's
troubles to the Georgia prison commits
sion for settlement.
Commissioner j. D. Roberts. repre-
senting the county board, appeared be-
fore the prison commission today and
advocated the confirmation by the
board of DR. S. B. Boland, one of the
two physicians in the county. willing TO
accept the office, under the terms pro-
posed by the county authorities.
When the Jones county board met
early in January to elect county ply
sician. it reelected the old one. at a
salary of 1856 per annum, for which he
had been serving for several years. A
short time after his election he de-
clined the job, unless his salary was
raised to $500 per annum.
The board refused to raise the salary
| and elected in his stead DR.. p r.
Chambliss, who agreed to accept, but
afterward declined, giving as his rea-
son that the county medical society had
| fixed salary of $500 per annum as the
fit and proper figure for the Jones
county job, and that any member of
the society who accepted at less fig
ure would be ostracised in consultation
and otherwise by members of the So
ciety 1t developed that this was the
| reason why the former physician de-
clined to serve.
The board then raked around the
county and discovered two physicians
who did not belong to the medical
trust" and proceeded to, elect one of
them--Dr. Boland-to the office, at $500
per annum.
DR.. Boland accepted. and now an eff
fort is being made to have the prison
| commission disapprove his selection.
for various reasons
The county board of Jones insists
upon Bolands confirmation, however.
and it was to voice that insistence and
some indignation that Commissioner
Roberts appeared before the prison
commission today.

Difficult to
Understand Flop.

1t is difficult to unders tSnd now the
president fell from patriotic grace so
far. Root talked to him. of course.
Lodge talked to him. and so did Choate,
and the timorous peace advocates who
stand for peace al any cost-peace with
honor or peace without honor And
that fine judicial temperament balanc-
ing so finely on both sides of every
question fell over on TO the money side
which seems ever the unhappy des-
tiny of President Taft
But the fact stands central-that this
question of the American right to make
tolls was amply and exhaustively dis
cussed by president and senate and
house, with full knowledge of all the
conditions. and reached one definite
conclusion-that our government was
within its rights in giving American
domestic vessels free passage. The
senate passed the exempting clause
after England's first protest against il
had been received and considered.
The fact that Sir Edward Grey's Sec
ond protest should have upset the pres
ident and excited the Tories and the
ultra -peacemakers is comment upon
the undue and unWholesome influence
that English constructions exercise
upon American opinion, and a further
comment upon the unfortunate power
of the trans continental lines and Their
active Hobbies.
But the American line in senate and
house is unbroken BY English selfish
constructions and trans ,.e, ti,,a,,+, n,
lobbies, and even if it were possible
for the house to be demoralized and
persuaded so long as the senate stands
firm. ana II is sure to, there will be ne

FOR CONTROL Of

Continued From Page One.

in its integrity and in its dominant
solidity
In former days William Howard
Taft's backbone was rigid and his spirit
American. He said some vigorous
words. II is a pity he ever spoiled them
by saying any more.
In his memorandum approving the
canal bill, by way of comment on the
British protest. the president said that
if the justice of that protest was ad-
mitted the only conclusion TO be drawn
was that although tho United States
owns, controls and has paid for the
canal. it is restricted by treaty from
aiding its own commerce in the way
that all the other nations of the world
may freely do"
After presenting arguments appar-
entity incontrovertible, certainly so from
the American point Of view, the presi-
dent declared:
IF there is nothing in the Hay
Pauncefote treaty preventing Great
Britain and other nations from extend
ing favors to their shipping, using the
canal, and if there is nothing that gives
the United States the right of super
vision, then the British protests lead to
the absurd conclusion that this govern
ment in constructing the canal, main
tanning the canal, ard defending the
canal, finds itself shorn of its right to
deal with its own commerce in its own
way. while all other nations using the
canal in competition with American
commerce enjoy that right and power
unimpaired."
