The MedicO politician
By J. w. HODGE, M. D.

The political doctor is poor doctor. He
is more of politician than doctor; there
fore, he is in politics.
If he were more of doctor than poll
tician, he would be too busy with his pro-
fession to care anything about politics.
A doctor who is incompetent and unable
to acquire legitimate practice sufficient to
Weld him a livelihood, Jocks around for some
avocation whereby he hopes to increase his
income. 1t is this sort of doctor who seeks
a salaried Job on a healtf-board, whereby
he can compel people to pay for his I'M
desirable services.
Look over the bunch of political doctors
in this city, Niagara Falls) and see if the
above statement is not true. What are the
best doctors, the physicians, of this city do
ing? Are any of them in the employ of
the health-board? Offer any of our good
physicians a position on the health-board
and see what he will say. You will find
that these positions are filled by the poorest
specimens to be found in the medical pro-
fession.
Judging from what we have seen of the
doctors who are running the health-board
affairs of this city, their chief qualifications
seem to be ignorance of municipal sanitation
and hygiene, gall, arrogance, inconsistency,
incompetency, and asinine stupidity of the
rankest sort

WILBUR GLENN VoLIvA,
Head of the Church of ZION,
and General Overseer of ZION CITY.
Ny Dear Sir:
have just finished reading the splendid
special edition of paper from your city,
which contains many pictures showing the
fatal and cruel ravages of the vaccine prac-
tice upon innocent little children and adult
persons.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1914-11-14

The vaccinators should be appropriately
labeled "sefarotors" in conformity with the
fact that their speciality is to separate the
people from their money.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1914-11-14

For tricks that are dark and ways that
are devious, the vaccinators have no equal.

HISTORY AND OTHERWISE

HISTORY AND OTHERWISE
Twas seven years in August, see,
Our Lace Factory sold
To Marshall Field & Company
For small sum we're told
They promised then most faithfully
The leases to maintain,
And said clean community
This city would remain.
They'd rather have in their employ
Clean, honest, Christian folk
Than those who would so oft annoy
With chew or drink or smoke.
0 they were very sanity then,
But that was long ago.
It sometimes does take time, for
To let their colors show.
Things went quite smooth these seven years
With no decided change.
The smallpox scare, it then appears
Did peace somewhat derange.
Uneasiness seemed lowering
Within the four brick walls,
The Company uncovering
Such rules that caused Withdrawals,
he HldHdgeTj ny Tie way
His name is Mr. Finn
On vaccination had much to say,
You should have heard him begin.
The question, pro and con discussed,
And tried to make it plain,
But ZION people kept their trust
His efforts were in vain.
"Will you not give in" Finn begged once more
"The doctor is upstairs,
IT'S the only safe way in a score
"And does more good than prayers"
But yet his pleading did not work,
He felt deeply chagrined,
And acted like an angry Turk
That had been disciplined.
"I'll fix you now" said Finn with cheer,
"Our motto now will read,
No vaccnation-No work here
And please take leave with speed"
The ZION people did not sob
But stood their ground like rock,
And would not for little job
Their Heavenly Father shock.
They marched out saying as they went
Upon Our God we'll CALL
For He has always mama sent
To those who trust for ALL
Shame! shame! ten thousand times we shame
You people who once stood
For Z1oN's God,-that Blessed Name
We don't see how you could.
Gods been SO good to you and yours,
How could you disobey
His Precious Word always assures,
Giles Just the same to-day"
IT'S easily seen why Finn obeyed,
No task, would he refuse
And all because he was afraid
That big fat job he'd loose.
Well now as far as Firms concerned
We know this to be square,
He's boarding all the "mon'' he's earned
To be millionaire.
On earth your wealth might name you rich
In houses or in lands.
In heav'n you'd hardly own niche,
So small your record stands.
Are you Christian Mr.. Finn?
Do you believe in prayer?
Is your life all it might have been
Had sin not entered there?
Again we warn you Mr.. Finn,
Why don't you set the pace
Take all your gang of vice and sin
To some more suited place.
