OUR PLATFORM
By DR.. Andrew Taylor Still
By DR.. Andrew Taylor Still

TT SHOULD be known where OSTEOP-
ATHY stands and what it stands for.
A political party has platform that all
may know its position in regard to mat
ters of public Importance, what it stands
for and what principles it advocates.
The osteopath should make his position
just as clear to the public. He should
let the public know, in his platform,
what he advocates in his campaign
against disease. Our position can be
tersely stated in the following planks:
First-We believe in sanitation and
hygiene.
Second-We are opposed to the use
of drugs as remedial agencies.
Third.-We are opposed to vaccina-
ton.
Fourh.-We are opposed to the use of
serums in the treatment of diseases.
Nature furnishes its own serum if we
know how to deliver them.
Fifth-We realieze that many cases
require surgical treatment and therefore
advocate it as last resort We believe
many surgical operations are unneces-
sarily performed and that many opera
tons can be avoided by osteopathic
treatment.

Sirth.-The osteopath does not depend
on electricity, X-radiance, hyprotherapy,
or other adjuncts, but relies on osteo-
pathic measures in the treatment of dis
ease.
SeDenth.-We have a friendly feeling
for other non-drug natural methods of
healing, but we do not incorporate any
other methods into our system. We are
opposed to drugs; in that respect at least,
all natural, unharmful methods occupy
the same ground. The fundamental
principles of oseopathy are different
from those of any other system and the
cause of disease is considered from one
standpoint, viz: Disease is the result of
anatomical abnormalities followed by
physiological discord. To cure disease
the abnormal parts must be adjusted to
the normal; therefore other methods
that are entirely different in principle
have no place in the osteopathic system.
Eighh.>Osteopathy is an Independent
system and can be applied to all condi-
ton of disease, including purely surgical
cases, and in these cases surgery is but
branch of osteopathy.
Ninth-We believe that our thera-
peutic house is just large enough for
osteopathy and that when other methods
are brought in just that much of osteop-
athy must move out.

PLAIN WORDS ABOUT PUBLICITY.

People the world over know what pohtlcal
pub ubicity costs; in addition to millions 1T per
haps cost the loss of presidential candidacy
because people came to know the money COST
for the same reason it may lose a gubernator1al
candidacy. We have come to this: Whenever
movement is started, it seeks publicity through
its own agents; the government has set the pre-
cedent although it but followed what was
growing practice This personally managed
publicity may not have any bad motive; 1t GER
tainly has the motive of Influencing pubic
thought aside from simple statement OF TACT
This is legitimate, of course, provided there De
no misstatement and there is seldom mlsstate
ment; indeed, the quality Of publicity writing
has come to be remarkably good.
But an evil is growing out Of this The press
of the nation never was SO diligently STRIVING
or so successfully striving to print accurately
and entertainingly all the news as it is today
1t employs the best writers and getters OF news
that can be had. But more and more the ave-
nues to news are closing to agents OF the press;
more and more the press agent stands between
the actual news source and the news getter OF
the press. This does not make for the free
press'' of which we have been justly proud. 1t
puts an influence between the newspaper re-
porter, who has only his public to serve, and the
public; an influence paid at the source OF the
news itself
It is not business alone that seeks publicity;
it is organization of every sort; it is even con-
stituted government agencies. Frank Cobb,
editor of the New York World, recently said
that the people were being cut from ''sources of
news" that Fthe American press was being
badly handicapped in its freedom He was
talking about modern methods of publicity and
he knows what he talked about.

CIVIC SPIRIT, CITY GROWTH.

Cedar Rapids Republican: What
we want to call attention to is "the
creation of civic spirit to which we
must look for the real source of a
cfty's greatness" That, we believe
expresses the whole truth. OF course
there are cities which grow like
mushrooms. They are accidental bene-
ficiarfes Of conditions that need no
fostering. An advantageous location
or the deposit Of ores or materials
of some kind may account for such
phenomenal cities.
But for the average city, as for the
average man, growth means effort.
A city cannot sit down and wait, no
more than a man can do So The
man must hustle and so must the
city. The civic spirit consists of a
proper amount Of self-confidence
mingled with proper amount of
hustle There are not many things
that come to those who wait for
them. There are too many others

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP AS IT is

Chicago Tribune: The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is for
nationalizing the railroads. Mr..
Gompers opposed the vote and
warned the federation that gov
ernment ownership would not
only place the railroads under
government control, but "by ne
cessity" would include all ''tribu-
taries to the railway service,
making all the workers govern
ment employees
And he added: mo man is
more loyal to government than l,
but I would not give it more
power over the individual citizen
ship Of our country"
Sensible words with both fore
sight and hindsight in them. The
federation would not heed, of
course. 1t has too many radicals
in its leadership and the patent
medicine cure for labor's ills goes
strong in its ranks. 1t declares
against the Allen industrial court
in the name Of individual free
dom, but in the next breath it
goes in for the establishment of
a bureaucracy which will respect
individual freedom about as
much as the late Mr.. Romanoff.
Is this mere theory? 1t is not
1t has been proved in the past
experience Of mankind and it is
being proved in the experience of
Russia at this moment Is this
the charge of a Capitalist or
gam? 1t is not. 1t is the evidence
OF radicals who know what has
happened in Russia under a
regime of government owner
snip" ..
The federation would do itself
some good If it would honestly
think over what Emma Goldman,
who is no capitalist or lover Of
the capitalist state, says about
the MARKHAM state and its govern
ment ownership in Russia.
You're right, it is rotten" she
said to the Tribune correspond
ent, John Clayton. But it is
what we should have expected.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Here is
what one man-and he is a big one
.too-thinks Of the newspaper as al
advertising medium. The man is Hill
Joseph, general manager of an ad
vertising agency in Cincinnati. He
spoke before a MONDAY luncheon oi
+, the Milwaukee Association of Com
merce, says the Oelwein Iowan
His subject was Successful Retail
advertising" This ds what he said:
There is nothing better for best
results than a newspaper ad. The
ad apears today, results come tonror
row. From what other medium can
lyou expect such quick returns?
Notice a department store adver.
tising on Thursday in the newspapers
calling attention to Friday bargains
The day after the ad appears people
are at the store clamoring for bar
gains offered. 1t is the best evidence
that the ads are read.
A newspaper is the logical medium
for advertising. 1t is cheaper and
above all reaches every class"
Mr.. Joseph then urged that from
20 to 80 per cent. of the advertising
appropriation be used for newspaper
advertising.
To advertise an article successfully
an advertising man must know his
art thoroughly and above all he must
be salesman and know salesman
ship Mr.. Joseph continued
Besides the writer must know
how to interest the public and how
to touch a responsive chord. The
fear of cost stops many from adver-
tls1ng. Some merchants regard it as
an expense and not as an investment
Success does not come to any
business unless there is plenty Of
faith and enthusiasm at hand.
Spreading information is important
to. every business. Advertising
creates not only business but sue

We always knew the MARKHAM
theory was impossible. a breeder
OF tyranny. We blinded ourselves
to its faults in America because
we believed 1t might accomplish
something.
'Pve been here four months
now, and I've seen what it has
accomplished. There is no health
in it. The state of socialism or
state OF capitalism--call it what
you will-has done for Russia
what it will do for every coun-
try. 1t has taken away even the
little freedom the man has under
individual capitalism and has
made him entirely subject to the
whims of a bureaucracy which
excuses its tyranny on the ground
it all is done for the welfare OF
the work ers."
Where did you find the great
er degree OF freedom, Miss Gold
MANI" asked Mr.. Clayton "In
the United States or in COM
munist Russia?"
ANY form of government is
bad enough, she replied, but
between this and individual capi-
talism, the choice lies with the
latter. At least the individual
has chance to express his in
dividuality."
Emma Goldman is an anarch-
list, believer in the extremist
form of individual liberty, and
full allowance can be made for
special bias. Nevertheless, she
cannot be accused of Capitalist
sympathies, and she has seen
what government ownership in
its logical development means to
the wage workers and to the
nation that makes the state SUI
preme. Railroad men have got
a good deal out Of the capitalist
system and will get more, but
when they enter the road of state
ownership and control, they have
started toward tyranny.
The federation is listening to
false prophets. It had better
consult realities and do a little
thinking free from windy phrases.
