THINKS PRESENT SYSTEM IS ANTIQUATED AND UNSUITED TO NEEDS OF ALABAMA-DOES NOT DECLARE HIMSELF ON SANDERS FIGHT

pr. E P Hogan. member of the Jefferson delegation in the legislature. and member of the Alabama Medical association, has not announced his posi- ton as regards the fight that is now in progress in the ranks of the latter body He has made no statement to the press which would definitely settle the question in the minds of many who desire to know
 Dr. Hogans first statement in regard to any of the questions that now are occupying the attention of the physicians m session here was made to an Age Herald reporter yesterday morning He automatically avoids stating what fac ton he favors. He does say that as far as his investigations have carried him the present system is antquated and unsuited to the needs of Alabama. But that is ad- mitted by both sides
 Dr. Hogan expresses himself enphati- cally as favorng legislation in regard to the states health department that would give the people more power or divide the power sufficiently to make the people of the state take an interest in the work that is being done.
 He refrained from personalities entirely saying the matter was absolutely imper- sonal.
 'In the discussion of this matter before the state association I am not entitled to the floor. as l am only member and not delegate or a counsellor" said Dr. Hogan. However, I feel very deep interest in the medical profession of the state and in the public health of the people. It is of the greatest importance that the state of Alabama have a mod ern and efficient public health system. As member of the legislature of Alabama, I shall stand for such system. 1f on more mature investigation, it is found

DIR. FIOGAN'S STATEMENT ON
 MEDICAL SOCIETY FIGHT

that the present system is the most mod ern and efficient l will gladly stand for it. but if on the other hand | am con vineed that the Alabama Medical asso- citation should be scientific medical and surgical body and not exercise lawmak- ing public health functions, as at present.
 shall certainly take position that will be in the interest of the people.
 "I have investigated the questions somewhat, but it Is my purpose to give it more thorough consideration and to seek the advice Of such men as Geu- eral Gorgas and other public health authorities. Such men. to my mind, arc eminently qualified to give unbiased Information and advice.
 From the Investigations that I have made up to the present time I must say that the indications arc that the present system is autduated and that the public health functions which nave Teen exercised by the state association are of such transeendental importance to the public health of the people of the state as to require not only the interest Of the people but their active support and cooperation. In order to secure this interest they should have in large measure the responsibility of the public health work of the state
 
 work but in doing this work they should have the active support and financial assistance of the state l am of the opinion that this never will be adequately secured until the people themselves have an active part in the public health work of the state
 ''1 think there are few doctors who realize the seriousness of the present problem If the doctors will they can evolve a public health bill for Alabama which will be model for other states but in order to do this it will be nec- essary for every doctor to consider the question with an open mind and with no desire to reserve exclusively to the profession rights. privileges, functions and responsibilities which should te shared by the people and the officials of the state.
 'I regard the question as ahsolute- ly an impersonal question and one that should he settled in the interests of the people of Alabama. The public health of the people is the states most val- uable asset and 1t should have the first consideration Of not only the doc tors but also of every thoughtful indi- vldual and especially tho officials of the state"

 The funeral will be held this morning at Ii o'clock al Oak Hill cemetery There will be no services at the residence.
 An especially tragic feature of the little girls death was the fact that she was badly burned week ago yesterday while trying to light some trash in the back yard with matches. She had been mak- ing excellent progress toward recovery from the burns when the fever suddenly developed and it was decided definitely only on Tuesday that she had scarlet fever, which has been so prevalent during the past few weeks.

 But as a rule the day was one of paper reoding At noon the association attend ed barbecue at Bayview during which all political differences were forgot and staid physicians engaged in the sports of small boys.

 officer censor, and the Cunning ha an resolution, to the end that vacancies on in the college of chancellors be not filled The Sanders resolution, it is believed, will be reported favorably, and the others unfavoraby. It is believed, also, that the board of censors will adversely report the resolution of pr. Ward enlisting the support of the association for the new health bill originated by the Jefferson County Medical association. That bill would tend to divorce the health depart ment from the State Medical society.
 Insurgents in Caucus
 Yesterday morning the so-called insu-- gents met in caucus in the Chamber Of Commerce. and there agreed to stand to- gother in support of the new health bill. Even should the cohA ention withhold its indorsement, the bill will be presented to the legislature, probbaly by Dr. C. $. Yarbrough, and it's supporters. at least a strong minority of the members will champion it's cause in July and August
 The Sanders resolution, giving Jefferson county seven delegates in future conver- tions, has not met with great favor on the part of the doctors of this county While just representation has been oce of the objects of their insurgency, they are inclined to be a little skeptical re- garding the practical agreement of the opposition. During the week both sides of the controversy have been busily en- gagged in strengthening themselves, and it is generally believed that the fate of Dr. Sanders, predominanx ngure in medi- cal circles of Alabama, will be determined today.
 Unless the resolution of Dr. Cunning ham providing for non-action toward fili- ing vacancies in the college of counseilers is reported favorably, the following va cancies by districts will be filled today: Two in the First district, two in the Fourth, one in the Second, Third, F'ifth Sixth, Seventh and Eighth.

In the American Magazine appears
an article entitled "a Modern Opium
/ Eater" written by a former newspaper
man. who became a victim of the
habit and is now convict in a peni-
tertiary. The following extract from
his article gives an idea of the amount
of money required by an opium eater:
by this time the cost of opium had
become Il very appreciable and perma-
nent expense. From few pills at first

THE LAYMAN'S DUTY

There never was time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization die
not shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning of gov
eminent, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry into the meshes of
politics and make them carry banners
in political professions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top of power and offered to make them
monarch Of all they surveyed, and
while most of them have said, Get
thee behind me Satan" a few have
fallen with crash that has shaken
every pulpit in Christendom.
