MEDICAL OCTOPUS
NEVER SLEEPS.

"Fhe medical octopus never sleeps
What its tentacles have grasped can only
be prted loose with difficulty. It's pro-
claimed aim is to make itself supreme
in every department OF the government
If you would know what it seeks, read
the shameless bid for absolute power EN-
braced In the bill for a department of
health, submitted by Senator owen a few
years ago. Those sponsors for pernicious
and un-American measures have drawn in
their horns a trife and would have us be
lieve that their views in a measure have
changed. But it may be proclaimed
without the possibility of successful con
tradietion that the aims of these auto
cratic ones have not changed a particle
that the only change is in the procedure
Before they wanted all power over the
puhtc at once. Now they gre content
with a little power at time. Let but
the insatiate appetite Of intrenched medi-
cine be but partially satisfied and the
individual surely will be deprived of lib
erty, the right to pursue happiness and
IN some few instances, of life itself The
issue is drawn. The individual will be
compelled to side with one party or the
other On one side is the public, that
wishes to be supreme over its health, that
would decide what treatment is to be
had either to prevent or to cure disease.
On the other is ranged selfish medical
and meteorological interests, medical
men of the old school, that would meet
the competition of progressive medicine
by ruthlessly crushing it cut by the
strong and merciless force of laws which
have been secured from complacent Iegis-
Iators and which the great archaeological
laboratories, capitalized at millions Of
dollars, whose disease breeding products
they and their medical tools, stockholders
n many instances, would force upon the
people whether it will or no.

MEDICAL BILLS
BEFORE SALONS
MENACE
Passage Means Individual
Would Be Helpless, Says
New York Speaker.
ASKS FOR SQUARE DEAL

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-"Do you know
gress, the passage of which will render
the individual all but impotent in health
matters? That If such measures pass the
individual, in the hour of illness, will be
compelled to accept, without question:
such preventive and therapeutic meas
ures as omnicient and all but omnip-
otent medicine sees at to prescribe, and
that his protests will be of no avail1'
These questions were asked by Charles
Saloman In the course Of an address on
THE Failure of Medicine in the War"
delivered under auspices Of the New
York Apti-Vivisection society here. Mr..
Saloman said. in part:
"Our reorganized army will number at
least 100000 men, and with the navy and
marine corps and national guard we
will have about 100000 men in our de-
fensive forces Each is a potential vic
tim of present day medical practices. It
Is not for him to decide-a privilege pos
esssed by his British brother-in arms
whether he shall be inoculated with le-
eterious disease products. The decision
rests with his medical superiOrs, and he
must submit to any medical practice, NO
matter how insane or revolving or in
furious he may consider it, or suffer con-
dign punishment.
MEN DESERVE
SQUARE DEAL.
"These men deserve a square deal in
this and their friends outside the serv-
ice should see that they get it. Their
medical and religious \prejudices alike
ire sacred, the former even more so than
the latter, and the enlisted men should
no more be compelled to submit to
medical rite which is abhorrent to him,
that by bitter experience he has learned
to dread, than he should have forced on
him obnoxious religious rites. The in
estimable privilege of medical liberty Is
possessed in some measure by the en-
listed men of the British empire, and
there is no good reason why it should be
denied the American sailor, soldier and
marine. The particular evil of which we
complain is not entirely confined to the
military and naval spheres. Regular
medicine is intrenched in power as we'll
in the civil sphere 1t is not satisfied
with such power as has been flilched
from the people, but ever seeks more
power; seeks to make itself as supreme
in peace time as in war, in the civil
state as in the defensive forces of the
nation.

DOUBT NEW VOLCANO
IN SOUTHERN ITALY
SCIENTISTS DO NOT BELIEVE
MOUNT PISANINO HAS MADE
A NEW CRATER.

ROME-Scientists say they do not
believe that a new volcano was crea-
ted on Mount Pisanino, near Speza,
during the earthquakes which began
September and continued until Sep
tember 8 causing the loss of 500 lives.
Tongues of flame and smoke or
dust were seen to be emitted from
what is popularity supposed to have
been new crater opened near the
mountain top.
Frank A. Perrrett, the American
volcanologist for the Carnegie Insti-
tuition who occupies station at Mt.
Vesuvius to observe it's operations,
has expressed to the Associated Press
the opinion that no new volcano has
been formed but that the earthquakes
caused displacement of subterranean
strata causing fissure in the earth's
crust and that gas escaping there
from gas mistaken by onlookers as
the opening of a new Greater. The
phenomenon, was not new one. Mr..
Perrett said the seismical instruments
showed towering of the earth level
in the earthquake district previous to
the tremors. This had been observed
on other occasions when earthquakes
occurred.
This view is shared by Senator
Caplellini, leading geologist who
has been interviewed by the Messa-
gero and who says there may have
been an eruption of gas through a
fissure on Mount Pisonino and the
supposed column of smoke above the
may have been caused by
clouds of dust from falling earth
The tongues of flame, in Senator
opinion may possibly have
been inflammable gas from under
ground wells of oil. He said, how
ever, that volcanoes can appear inde-
pendently of the structure of the
earth's crust and that the greatest
have occurred from the
appearance of volcanoes where no.
body expected them.
For example, the geologist CON
Iinued, Mount Etna rises out of post
Pliocene strata while the volcanoes of !
the Andes mountains in South Ameri- |
"a arise from granite rocks. There
fore the nature of the Apuan noun
5ains did not exclude the possibility
If volcano appearin gon Mount Pi-
sonino.

WORK ON GENESSEE
STREETS MOVING
THRESHING HAS BEEN RE-
SUMED-SOME GOOD APPLES
FRENCH TO SPEAK.
lGenesee NeWs.l

Work on the Genesee streets and
on the state road is being pushed as
fast as conditions will permit. While
work of graveling the streets has not
yet begun, all preparations are being
made and it is hoped the work Will
start in a short time.
The work of graveling the high
way through town has begun and is
being carried on rapidly. 1t is esti-
mated that between 500 and 900 feet
of finished surfacing is being put on
each day and when finished will be
one of the best sections of road In the
whole system The big rock crusher
is being worked double shift.
1t is stated that some five miles OF
the state road has been completed
near the Lang place, north of town.
About two miles of surfacing has
been put on the Pine Grove section
of the Genesee district and the rock
crusher at the Hanson ranch is also
being worked double shift and the
work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible.
Threshing Resumed
Threshing was resumed in this sec
ton of the country Tuesday after
noon and is now in full blast. Those
who were awake early enough on
Wednesday morning could hear
whistles in almost every direction
telling hands that it was time to get
busy.
1t is estimated that another week
or ten days will clean up the thresh-
ing in good shape.
Has Good Apples
R. F. Lambert has on display at
the Genesee Exchange bank some
samples of apples raised on his ranch
east of town In the lot is one that
weighed 26 ounces when picked, and
had it been near vine it might have
been taken for a pumpkin-on ac-
count of size, and not shape or flavor.
Mr.. Lambert also has some fine
melons, of which he raises a good
supply each year. The News is in
debted to him for a remembrance in
that line.

A. A. NC DANALD'S
FINE MONTANA FARM
FORMER LATAH COUNTY CITI-
ZEN MAKING RECORD AS
FARMER IN MONTANA.

The old Burell ranch, north of Cho-
teau, which has always been known
as one of the best ranch properties
in this section of the country, is vim
dicating its record this year under tie
active management of A. A. McDon-
aid, formerly of Potlatch, Idaho, who
purchased the place last spring and
moved onto it with his family.
Mr.. Mcdonald was one of the sue
cessful ranchers and stockmen of the
Potlatch district and came here well
equipped for the task involved in sue
cessful operation of a big proposition.
Although this is his first season
here, and he was handicapped, some
what, by a late start, he has taken
from the ranch this year, in addition
to a good grain crop, something over
500 tons of hay. He is also going in
for thoroughbred Berkshire culture
and at this writing, has ten register
ed sows and 65 pigs, as nucleus for
future drove.
Improvement work, too, is under
way, and already great deal has
been done on buildings and fences,
adding greatly to the appearance of
the place. A concrete bridge will be
constructed across the Teton river
and a graded road built from the
main highway to the ranch house.
Mr.. Mcdonald plans, later, to de-
velop dairying on a large scale, on
the ranch, as soon as he can COM
plete the work necessary for taking
proper care of dairy herd, and is
casting about now for good stock.
Undoubtedly the new owner of this
fine old property is progressive in
agricultural and stockraising circles,
and his coming to Teton county will
be valuable addition to an already
noteworthy section. Teton county is
a producer and the Burrel ranch is
no exception to the general rule.
There is little doubt that the new
comers mean business, and they have
already made many friends in Cho-
teau and the surrounding country
who will wish them luck in the new
venture-Choteau Acantha.

GERMAN WORKMEN AZ
ARE C0UNTRYS HOPE
FORMER GENERAL TALKS OF
CONDITIONS CONFRONTING
THE GERMAN PEOPLE.

BERLIN-'I am General Hoffman,
whom you probably remember from
Brest-Litovsk," said a tall man of
military bearing called here to dis
cuss eastern European problems.
The socialists were in the midst of
discussion on soviet principles and
the Russo-Polish situation, when gen
eral -Ludendorff's former aide-de-
camp arose and without more ado
took the floor
He charged the, Versailles peace
with the responsibility for the pres
ent state of Europe in that it failed to
take Russia into account, and de-
eclared that Russia must be reinstated
into her former position. Germany,
he said, needed Russia's foodstuffs
and Russia needed German intdus-
trial products.
General Hoffman went on declar-
ing that German working men alone
were able to rebuild the nation ut
is not true" he said, "that we have
already reached the bottom of the
abyss. We are, however, standing on
the brink and in danger Of slipping
down into it,
Despite his unexpected Interrupt
tion, the meeting treated the general
with courtesy although some re-
proaches were addressed to him for
concluding the Brest-Litovsk peace.

UNIVERSITY MEN ON
BOTH STATE TICKETS
STATE CAMPAIGN HAS SPECIAL
INTEREST FOR STUDENTS
AND FACULTY.

Largely because of the fact that
is Idaho graduates have places on the
state ticket of the two old parties,
even greater interest is being evi-
denced in the state campaign by Uni
versity of Idaho students than in the
more comprehensive contest between
Harding and Cox.
Students interest has centered par
ticularly around the Idaho race for
secretary of state and state mine in
spector, the Democratic and Repub-
lican candidates in each instance be-
ing alumni of the university. Robert
O. Jones, candidate on the Republi-
can ticket to succeed himself as sec
retary of state, was graduated with
the class of 1909 and his Democratic
opponent, George H. Curtis, received
his university degree in 1908. William
Snow 'O6 and Stewart Campbell, '07
both graduates of the university
school of mines, are respectively the
Democratic and Republican candi-
dates for state mine inspector.
1t so happens that Jones and Curtis
lived together throughout their ca
reers on the campus, both having
been members of the same college
fraternity, Beta Theta Pi. Burton
L. French, again Republican cand1-
date for Congress, who was a mem
Der of the university's 1901 class, and
Harry McDougall, Republican presi-
Dental elector, who received his de-
gree in 1917, are the two other uni
versity of Idaho alumni who have
places on the state tickets.

STUDENT RECEPTION AT
BAPTIST CHURCH LAST NIGHT

Seats were removed from the Au-
ditorium and the glow and beauty of
the autumnal out of doors seemed to
have been marked in all it's gorgeous
ness within the four walls of the old
church. Banks of ferns and wreath
of asters encircled the room. At al
cove above the bapistry was impro-
vised and this presented bower of
flaming beauty in early fall foliage.
Within this booth supper was served
in cafeteria style The activities pre-
sented were Give ones' and the COM
mittee kept a fusillade of "stunts" !"
coming down the line, continually.
The room was well filled with stu
dents and they lent themselves
charmingly to the program which
had been skillfully wrought out.
From the invitations, which were two
small corks enclosed in a druggists
box with the directions put me in
each ear and hear no other invita-
tion,' to the dainty refreshments at
the close of the evening, it was the
best of it's kind the old First church
has ever enjoyed

LAW SCHOOL SETS
ENROLMENT RECORD
REGISTRATION OF FIRST YEAR
MEN IS PER CENT-GREAT
Err THAN EVER BEFORE.

With first-year class rs percent
larger than any incoming group in its
previous history the University of
Idaho law school this year has made
even more substantial progress than
its most Jealous friends had antici-
pated, according to Dean 0. p Cock

'This large increase has certainly
been more gratifying" said Dean
Cockerill today Naturally enough,

ever hope to equal the law and | am
delighted to see so many young Ida

careers. The law faculty has been
particularly pleased by the fact that
students have come from all parts of
the Inland Empire as we'll as from
every section of Idaho"
