 No plan has been decided upon as a
 means of specialization of the senti-
 ment of the public on such questions as the five commission bill, election of ihe board of education, municipal bond issue to float current debt and similar
 matters. but among the schemes being sonsidered the idea of an initiative election seems to carry most weight by those who are leading the opposi- lion 10 this legislation.
 It is suggested that ticket be pre- pared naming each one of the pro- posed pieces of legislation in a separ- ate column with no and yes printed under each. the voter then
 marking no or yes" in answer to a question whether he is in favor or op. posed to any one or all of them This sort of informal election. which would be binding on no one and only flor the purpose of registering the will of the people, if held will not be un- ail a few weeks before the legislature i1r eets again, it is said. Before that a general discussion of the pending leg 1slation would be encouraged through the medium of the press. public gath erings and so on until there was no opportunity for anyone interested to be unfamiliar with the points at issue
 Then the results of an election reg 1stering the will of the people of Bir- mlngham. while in no way binding. it IS generally believed would carry such weight that members of the Jefferson county delegation would not wish to oppose It. The plan is being advanced most prominently by those leading the opposition to the five-commission bill and II Is the general opinion among them that the people of the city will vote a strong majority against the l proposed change.

over a year. This same gang of medical organized society of Blob county has been on our trail since my brother landed here about two years ago. They have indicted my brother, and done everything within their power to convict him, for what they call violating the statute, of practicing or treating human diseases without a certifi- cate of qualification, but thanks be to the common sense of the people of Bibb coun- ty, they have so far failed; now we plead not guilty of even violating this doctor made statute, we do not treat human diseases, in fact we dispute the existence of human diseases. We simply adjust the human machinery and the so-called disease vanishes like yapor before wind. Now if the school of alopathy had SUD- ply of such men as Dr. Dozier, who be- l1eves in giving value received, and who believes in the people rule, we would soon have higher type of gentlemen to adorn the medical profession of our southland, and M.

Freedom in Practice of Healing

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Having read in your issue of the 1ztb Instant that noble article of Dr. Dozier wish to add my hearty indorsement to all the doctor stated. I am so glad to Know that this state has, at least one. man of the Alopath school who has a. human heart of reasoning and who be- heves in equal rights to all and special privileges to none While do not know. am constrained to believe that Dr. Dozier is not a member of that band of organized medical doctors, who not being satisfied with their continued poisoning or the human race by the internal appli- cation of nasty drugs, but have gone fur ther and poisoned the criminal code of Alabama by the insertion of a statute therein intended to forbid the appliea- ton of anything external, internal or eter- nal for the relief of human misery, ex- cept by those who have joined their gang or organized human Gestroyers, who through their system of organization are today bankrupting the citizens of our fair state of Alabama by their exorbitant charges for what they call relief to hu- man misery.
