THIRTY MORE DOCTORS
ADDED TO FLORIDA
AS Result of State Exams
Held Here Tuesday and
Wednesday.

The State Board Of Medical EXaml-
ners held it's semi-annual examination
of new physicians in this city on Tues
day and Wednesday of this week.
There were thirty physicians here TO
take the examinations. They were
not all young men, either. Some OF
them have been practicing medicine IN
other states more years than some OF
the examining board are years old.
Many of them, however, are young
men, recently graduated, and several
of these young men have already
made arrangements to enter the ar
my.
The State Board as at present con-
stitutcd has probably held its last
meeting. Their time will be out next
month, and Gov. Cats will then ap-
point a new board composed OF his
special Lenchmcn.
The present board is composed OF
DR.. Geo. B. Glover of Monticello,
president; DR.. E. w. Warren of "a
latka, secretary, and Drs. Jas. d;
Love of Jacksonville, Thos. A. Neal
of Sanford, Thomas H. Stokes of Pen
sacola, A. R. Bond of Tampa, and W.
S. Gramlin of Miami. All were here
with the exception Of DR.. Glover, who
was i'll
This board has been working
board in the interest of honest prac-
tice: it has run down quacks and done
it's utmost to purify the practice OF
medicine in the State. 1t was
through the efforts of Dr.. Warren
that the eclectic board of examiners,
who had been selling certificates, was
exposed and ousted. This board has
also made strenuous efforts to secure
legislation that will forever do away
with "ouackery" in Florida. The
board has been a blessing.
The examinations were held IN the
rooms of the Athletic Club.
The following is a list OF those who
were examined: B. F. Tichenor, Ores

Common Sense From T. R.

Tampa Tribune: Whenever former
President Roosevelt makes utterance
n public most of US sit up and take
notice. Whatever our political SYM
pathics may be, and how little We
may agree with the doughty Colonel,
he commands our attention.
Colonel Roosevelt read a certain
class of Americans a sound homily
Tuesday night when at his Oyster
Bay home, addressing his neighbors,
he told them that whoever in this
country at this time sought 10
"strafc" England was disloyal to the
United States. The former president
pointed to the fact that England, even
more than France, stands between
this country and Germany, arch en-
envy of freedom, today.
There is as much reason for AM
orleans hating England today as
there is for their hating each other
because of the Civil War. England
made a mistake more than a hundred
wears ago and it cost her the greatest
colonial possession any nation ever
held. She made another mistake ear
w in the past century and we had an
other brush with her and had the good
fortune to come out rather poor
best.
For more than century our path
of progress and that of Great Brit
ain have run in parallel paths, broad
w speaking. In two instances Eng
land has stood between this country
and war with Germany. One in
stance was when Captain Chichester
moved his warship between the little
cruiser Olympia, Admiral Dewey's
flagship in Manila Bay, and the Ger
man fleet, and clearing his decks for
action told the bullying German COM
mander, Won Diederichs, to go ahead.
The other incident was in connection
with Venezuela.
"Twisting the lions tail" once a
popular sport with wordy politicians
seeking the Irish vote, is out of place
nowadays.

w. H. Bowling, deposed sheriff of
Duval county, has made statement
over his own signature regarding his
recent interview with Gov. Cats
anent his dismissal. In this state
ment Mr.. Bowling says: 81 met the
Governor by accident at the depot in
Tallahassee as he was en- route to
some point west. His private secre-
tary, j. V. Burke, was with him, and
| continued on the same train as far
as Quincy. He told me he had sus-
pended me, and that was all there
was to it. That was all the satisfac-
ton ] got" The Metropolis on Fri
day evening represents Mr.. Bowling
as saying in an interview: 81 entered
the office of Governor Cats and told
him | had come to get hearing and
to learn what charges he had against
me. Governor Cats replied, say
ing: Mr.. Bowling, ] don't think we
owe each other anything *
then said: l would not treat any ne
gro have in Jail the way you have
treated me. Then Gov. Cats said to
me, IF you want to make this a per-
sonal matter, hop to it, With these
words Gov. Cats put his hand to his
hip pocket, and to avoid serious trou-
bic I Ietire1.' The News is disposed
to believe the first statement made
by Mr.. Bowling over his own sigma
ture in the Times Union. The Me
tropolis' statement looks "fishy," too
much like the yellow" fakes that
have been appearing recently all too
Frequently in that journal. The
truth about Cats is bad enough.

The News doesn't know whether W.
H. Bowling, deposed sheriff of Du-
val county, was a good sheriff or a
bad sheriff All it knows is that the
people of Duval county elected him
to the office last fall for his second
term, and that Gov. Cats has dis
missed him from the office on charges
Of misfeasance and malfeasance,
without a hearing. Had the Cover
nor been honest in these charges, we
believe he would have acted like an
honest man and official, i. e., have
made his charges while the State Sen
ate was in session and given the dis
missed sheriff a chance. But he
didn't do that; he waited until the
Senate had adjourned and then GUST
ed Bowling without a hearing. The
action has all the ear-marks of dirty
politics. 1t is an abuse of power,
malfeasance in the executive office.
Mr.. Bowling will take his case to the
Senate of 1919, and if the charges
are not proven, he will be reinstated
and entitled to all earnings of the Of
flee during his enforced retirement.
But this doesn't seem to worry the
govenor-the double pay won't come
out Of his pocket, the people will pay

Orlando Reporter Star: The APP
pointment of Hayes Lewis, former
collector of customs for Florida to
be sheriff of Duval county, while con-
tanning cause for surprise really oc-
casioned but a ripple on the surface
of the political waters
Lewis< had been a staunch Cats
supporters and it was largely due to
his political activities that he was
removed from the office of collector.
Hence, according to the rules of the
political game as played by Cats and
his cohorts, Cats owed Lewis some
thing, and simply paid the debt.
The fact that Lewis has hardly
qualified as a citizen of Duval coun-
ty counts for nothing, for Cats had
hardly qualified as citizen of Flor
ida when he was elected governor.
1t seems that the people of Florida
don't care much whom they have for
governor, and by the same token the
people of Duval county can't care
much whom they have for sheriff. In
the words of the famous Raymond
Hitchcock, whats the use?"

nounced from Tallahassee yesterday

GATHER UP YOUR SCRAP
METAL AND SELL It
And Thus Help the Govern
ment Supply Steel
Shortage.
Mr. f. R. Roberts of Gainesville,

Mr. H. R. Roberts of Gainesville,
who represents one of the largest i'm
nlement manufacturers in the United
States. in an interview with The
News Tuesday evening said:
"The United States Geological Sur
vev at Washington has requested the
farm implement industry to launch a
campaign among the farmers of the
country urging them to gather up all
the scrap metal around the farms and
sell it to the nearest junk dealer.
"They show a great shortage in
all metals especially iron and steel.
This is not caused by shortage of
CAPACITY of the mines and mills but
bv the abnormal demand for all steel
and iron products. 1t is estimated
that there is demand for three
pounds for every one available:
There never was a time in the worlds
history when there was such a short
age of metal. The demand upon
the steel industry for war equipment
and the continuance of the manufac-
ture of the necessary domestic prod
ucts place upon every citizen re-
sponsibility to conserve the supply of
raw material. L..
at is the patriotic duty of every
farmer or other citizen who has scrap
metal to get it into industrial chan
neIs where it will soon reach the
smelling pot. Furthermore, the
price now paid for scrap is very high
compared to prices a year or so ago.
"The steel corporations are doing
all in their power to meet the de-
mand but their facilities are made
ouate. Just a week ago the United
States Steel Co. authorized the ex-
penditure of eleven million dollars for
complete steel plant at Birming-
ham, Ala, where they already have
one of the largest plants in the coun-
try.
every citizen is urged to take it
upon himself individually through
personal interviews to spread the
news of this great shortage and the
necessity of gathering up and selling
your scrap metal.

the bullet has found its mark?

the way!
The Red Cross takes the stretcher

thing else but pay your subscription
and then if you wish to secure 10,
rs or 100 new subscribers, do so if
