Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1915-03-24

You know what hell is said to be |
paved with.
The Doctors Trust.
Several bills have been introduced
to strengthen the doctors trades un-
ion and give them a more complete
monopoly of treating the sick than
they now have. l say treating" the
sick, not "healing" them: for the facts
are that the old line drug doctors cure
a smaller percentage of their patients
than any of the so-called "Quacks"
they are so anxious to get rid of.
One bill cut out all Chiropractors,
Nature Cure Physicians, Mental, Div
inc New Thought, and Christian Sci
ence Heaters, and made it crime for
any of them to heal the sick.
This aroused such a storm of op-
position that the bills were withdrawn
from both houses.
And now they have bill that
leaves out the Christian Scientists,
the strongest and most lusty of the
non-drugging cults, but gets hot after
the others.
If the drug doctors are so sure that
they have got all the truth bottled up,
why are they so much afraid of these
new competitors in the healing art!
Can't they trust the people to choose
their own health advisers?
A Lawyers Trust.
| The lawyers, too, seem to be afraid
their trades union is in danger, and
that part Of its dignity is about to
be dragged in the mire of vulgarity,
so some bills have appeared, prohibit
ing any lawyer from taking case on
a contingent fee and also forbidding
all lawyers from advertising their bus
mess or in any way soliciting bus
mess.
Il Why shouldn't lawyer advertise,
if he wants to, or take cases on con-
tingent fee?
Isn't it a good thing to let peo'
pie know the merits Of your work?
| Why not prohibit grocers, and
butchers, and carpenters from adver
Using?
st. Patrick's Day.
St. Patrick's Day was celebrated in
both houses.
Each house has one, and only one
native born Irishman-Bob Dunn il
the Senate and Dick Dunleavy in thu
House.
Green carnations were in evidence
everywhere. Bouquets were on tn
desks of the Speaker and Lieutenan
Governor and everybody wore greer
carnation in his button hole.
In the House, T. J. Green, "Greel
both by name and nature" was calle'
to the chair.
A l. Lennon introduced a joint res
olution commemorating the heroi
deeds of the Irish and their love o
liberty.
The noted singer, Robert Gehan
> was called upon and made decide
hit with 1.-THE Wearing Of the Green.
In response to encores he also SAM
= 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner an
"Tipperary."
A fake bill purporting to regulat
the farming industry was read in bot
houses, being fathered by Senate
y Westlake of Minneapolis, the chan
pion of the 21hc fare bill.
= While this fake bill protested to b
merely joke, yet it was a very craft
lily drawn protest against railway ref
ulation, wholly ignoring the fact tina
railways are public servants, Will
farmers are engaged in competitiv
business.
l am told that this same bill wa
introduced on the same day in the lee
|islatures of other states, and that
is part of the campaign of the road
-|against regulation and in favor of a.
increase of passenger and freigh
rates.
e In the House everyone apologize

q low members.
Teigen and Lydiard figuratively fe
n on each others necks and forgave a
II past insults, and the two Harrison
followed suit, and made up.
ID In the Senate, the ceremonies wer
more simple than in the House, col
y sisting only of calling Senator Dun

c. Anti Road House Bill.
Re It looks as if the bill to kill of til
road houses would stand a prett
good chance to pass.
H. A test vote in the Senate Wedne
u! day showed a good majority in i
LII favor.
