LETTERS TO EDITOR
Change in Medical Laws
Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Having noted with much interest the many communications in The Herald and in other papers in this city regard ing the bill now pending before the leg islature which Is being fostered by the most liberal, conservative and patriotic doctors of the state. am moved to make this appeal to the honorable members of the general assembly now in session at Montgomery.
 First l appeal in the name of true de- mocracy that the present undemocratic laws which confer upon the Alabama Medical association the unwarranted priv
 leges, legislative. judicial and executive
 which that organization now exercises, be
 repealed.
 1 also appeal in the name of justice that the said medical association be divorced
 from all connection with state, to the end that the great existing medical oligarchy
 in Alabama be dissolved
 I also appeal in behalf of the people that when all the laws shall be repealed
 which have in fragrant disregard of the
 spirit of true Americanism served to fos-
 ter and build up that medical oligarchy and obnoxious medical trust that other laws will be enacted. restoring to the voters in the state the right and privi- lege of electing a chief health officer and that the entire business of the regulation of public health, sanitation and quaran- tine be taken out of the hands of the Ala
 bama Medical association. so that politics. graft. inefficiency and medical intoler- | ance which has so long dominated in this .l A
 succeeded by more intelligent, efficient. honest and tolerant principles and prac- tice.
 Let the state have no official connec- tion with that association. composed as it is exclusively of alopathic doctors, and revoke the law that gives that associa-
 ton the exclusive privilege of determin- ing who shall and who shall not practice medicine in this state. Let that associa- tion have it's separate existence and under proper safeguards provided, examine and pa ss upon the merits of those of it's own school or pathy, who may seek state l license to practice. But in the name of l justice. right and decency, provide equal privilege for separate examining boards to pass upon the applicants of other well | recognized schools of medicine to the | time be compelled to leave Alabama when I they would have the services of a doctor ] from any other school than that of the School of Alopathy.
 | I make this appeal to the honesty. judg-
 ment, liberality and justice of our repre-
 sentatives and trust that such action as
 they may take will prove more satisfac- | tory and of greater good to the people
 than has come from the present band o1 l inefficient. political buccaneers who have , composed the Inner circle" of the Ala bama Medical association and made of il
 a star chamber of tyranny, graft. injus.
 tice and a disgrace to the state of Ala. | bama and to the State Medical associa- tion. O. T. DOZIER, M. D. (Alopath).

 tain -.e
 Worked magic all their own And my senses dulled by humid heat Were soothed and sleepy grown. Across the years a picture flashed. And To! before my eyes were Father mother, sister, brother, And I the youngest there. Beyond the bills above the spring
 A sunset rare was seen, And twilight with caressing touch A happy group half screened
 of the day,
 In easy chair. with pipe in hand, Blew rings of white and gray.
 turned in fancy, at some word By a loved one gently spoken
 When, Why, mother, still awake! I thought you long in bed" I raised my chin from of my hand, From the bridge of yesteryears
 And there before me stood my boy, A smile upon his face.
 And from the window where l sat And framed this picture dear,
 In fancy back again child walked to life so near.
 And from a happy childhood hour To one of riper years
 Each had its lure of joy complete So different from the other.
 Yet childhood's joys can neer compare To the fuller joys of mother. Birmingham. August ( 1slk

LEADING LADY TO
 SELECT CHAPERON

The leading lady will he given the privilege of selecting a chaperon to accompany :he five young ladies on their two weeks trip to Chicago, to the studio of the Essanay company where tho motion picture play will be produced. All the expenses of the trip to Chicago will be paid by The Age Herald.
 Never before has any Birmingham paper offered an opportunity of this kind 10 it's readers. The fact that the five winning candidates will actually be given an opportunity to show their talent before one of the leading pro- ducers of motion picture plays, the Essanay company, has value that money cannot purchase.
 There is nothing complicated about this campaign. It is simply a matter of securing votes and these can be ob- tained from just two sources. One Is by chipping the one-vote coupons from each issue of The Age Herald and the other and most important sources is on the subscription payments. as is shown in the schedule published daily. Where votes are allowed on subscrip , tions. the money must accompany the order. That is in order to secure money on subscriptions they must be maid m advance.

Brinqinq Up the Voters.

The quick march of woman suffrage
in New Jersey is due largely to the
caliber Of the women who are work
ing for it, according to Mrs. Minnie j
Reynolds, executive secretary of the
Women's Union of New Jersey.
'To take Il few examples out of
many says Mrs. Reynolds in support
ing her claim, 'our leader in Rocky
Hill, Somerset county, is Mrs. Bolmer,
who, left years ago the widow of an
E~piscopalian clergyman, became a sue
cessful farmer and reared five sons, all
of whom are going to the polls to vote
Loyalty for the enfranchisement of
their mother.
Mrs. +. Il. Sturgis of Westfeld has
brought up her four sons, all of whom
are voters and suffragists, while the
two SONS of Mrs. Leslie l.. Cooke of
Hackettstown are successful business
men. Mrs. Clara Laddey, so long n
leader among the New Jersey suifra-
gists, has brought up her sol and daugn-
ter. both IF whom are successful law
yers in New York.
1--WE could continue the list indefinite
~ of such women in our organization.
1t is to be noted that not only are
these women able to put into their
work for suffrage the judgment and
ability which have made them able to
bring up their families, but they have
the definite advantage of being able to
bring their sons to the polls. Each of
them is n living argument for woman
suffrage and an argument which is not
lost on the people living in their neigh
bOrhOod."
