DR.. S. w. WEIGH. state health Off
GER, today issued a statement thank
Ing the house of representatives for
its vote of confidence in the medical
profession, in which 1t defeated the
chiropractor's bill Friday.
Il wish to acknowledge with graf
itude the vote of confidence which
the Alabama house of representatives
gave the medical profession of Ala
bama on Friday, February Q, when
the chiropractic bill was under con-
sideration," said DR.. Welch's state
ment.
1t was said by a prominent attor-
ney on one occasion that in 1875 the
legislature gave the medical profess

THE vote of confidence, IA to 20,
by the house of representatives Is a
great source of qualification to those
of us who have devoted our lives to
the service of the citizenship of Ala
bama."
Opposition of the undertakers of
Jefferson county to the bill legaliz-
ing the practice of chropractics in
Alabama furnished the comedy of the
house during the consideration of the
bill defeated by the lower house.
c. B. Werner of Tuscaloosa, who
opposed the indefinite postponement
of the measure which attracted such
attention in the medical profession,
obtained a copy of the telegram re-
ceived by members of the jefferson
delegation and read it to the men,
bers. He asked whether or not the
undertakers feared that their bust
mes would be affected by the passage
of the bill permitting the adjustment
of the human system by spinal ma
nipulations.
The message signed by jefferson
county undertakers: 'Legalizing
chiropractors all wrong and back

nothing to do with fakery. Believe

crate to be burned out and the sys-

said the old building which was
erected long before the war between
the states and was the home of Pres
ident Jefferson Davis during the time
the capital of the new republic was
located in Montgomery, would be in
grave ianger of destruction if a fire
were placed in the furnace.

n1scLA1MlNa any intention

DIsCLAIMING any intention of
- starting 'boom" for United
States entry into the permanent court
OF international justice, Secretary of
Commerce Hoover has set forth what
may fairly be considered the views of
the administration on that subject. In
an address before the convention Of the
National League of Women Voters in
Des Moines, Mr.. Hoover spoke in earn
est advocacy Of President Harding's
proposal that the United States become
a member of that court. and answered
the usual objections to the plan.
'sThe proposals to Join the court, !"
said Mr.. Hoover, have been criticized
from various angles. The first Of these
is that 1t leads US into some unde-
scribed political ENHANCEMENT. This
Is untrue. for the DEGREES of the inter-
national court are based upon the proc
ess of law. not upon political agree
ment; their enforcement rests wholly
on public opinion and not upon force.
'In supporting this court we SUBJ
scribe to no compulslon whatever
Compulsion IL. in fact, specifically ex-
cluded. We do not need to submit any
case to the court unless we feel like
doing SO at the time the case arises.
No other nation can summon us into
court except with our consent. The
court itself cannot summon US In, nor
in any manner or degree exert upon
us any kind Of compulsion, not even
moral.
"All we do II we ratify President
Harding's proposal, all the promises
we make, the only obligations we take,
are these. and only these: We promise
to pay share Of the running expenses
Of the court. matter less than $4,000
a year. and we promise to take part
with 40 other nations In the choosing
Of the judges.
There is another section of oppo-
nents Of President Harding's proposal
who condemn the idea, not because
they do not agree to It's primary pur-
pose and method, but solely because 1t
was erected under the auspices OF the
League Of Nations. But we are not
by this act entering the league In any
sense. The connection Of the court
with the league Is indeed remote. Its
sole relationship Is that the judges are
elected as provided in Its own statute,
not by the league, but by the repre-
sentatives of the nations to the league
acting as an elective body for this pur-
pose. It is this elective body that we
Join, not the league"
Secretary Hoover commended the en-
lightenment and courage of Senator
Borah in demanding that the court be
given teeth" and that we Join It in
such manner that we would be obli-
gated to Its Jurisdiction. but he said
that, as practical matter, America is
not ready to go thus far.
A LMOST Immediately after the re-
turn Of President Harding from
the South, definite Information was
given out at the White House con-
cerning his attitude toward this Issue
and several others that, It seems GER
tain, will be to the fore during the
coming year or two. It was stated
that the President stood pat on his
advocacy Of entrance into the world
