Scientific Progress Is Rapidly Driving
the charIatans Out Of the
Field.

When the doctor gently chides the
patient who has wasted vitality valu-
able time chasing the latest adver-
tised panacea. the victim always has q
comeback" He-or. more often. she
-retorts that the medical profession
Is always opposed to new methods of
treatment. There Is no gainsaying the
fact that ancient and medieval medi-
cine was narrow and ecclesiastical In
its attitude. At that time medicine
was not q science, but q more or less
imperfect art II attracted, IL Is true,
many brilliant minds, but 1t also had
In its ranks a large preponderance Of
mystics and charlatans. ~#
What we know today as the science
Of medicine Is Of recent growth. The
application Of modern scientific meth
DDS to the study of the human body
and it's processes has produced results
as far-reaching in their scope as any
accomplished in other fields of human
endeavor. Moreover, by employing the
methods Of the Twentieth century
both to the study Of medicine and to
the organization Of the medical pr0fes-
sion. charlatanism and mysticism have
become the exception instead of the
rule In medicine. The modern medical
quack and faddist Is but an excres-
cence.
The result Of all this has been to
raise enormously the standard Of the
collective judgment Of the medical pro-
fession. A careful review Of modern
medicine will show that in not one In
stance has the mass Judgment Of ply
sicians been at fault In condemning
methods Of treatment that have failed
to meet the exacting requirements de-
manded by the doctor Of today.

Editor Kennewick Courier Reporter,
Kennewick, Wash. sE ID .
Dear Sir.-I feel impelled to ans
wer some statements made on the
editorial page in your July 10Th
issue, concerning the political stu
alton. agree with you perfectly
that the Democratic convention was a
sad contrast to the Republican af-
fair, and that the various leaders
were impelled by reasons of self in
terest or group interest to some ex-
tent; a certain part of the Democratic
party not being under the thumb of
Wall Street it was necessary to wear
them out by every device known 70
such meetings, and a few new ones,
until they would swallow the bitter
dose prepared for their consumption.
On the other hand, much of this dis
cordant element has left the Repub-
lican party, having learned the fu-
tility of any attempt to clean up that
party under present conditions, and
the small part remaining was sat
upon so thoroughly, efficiently and de-
cisively as to call forth the highest
respect for their methods, as such.
They presented splendid example Of
the power Of the interests, politically
expressed. t..s =.
These good kind gentlemen will now
give another "free" exhibition Of their
two ringed circus, you pay your
money and take your choice, Coolidge,
Daugherty, Means, Burns, Fall and
Forbes on the one hand, or Morgan,
Davis, Rockefeller ct al on the other.
Of course the visible bonds uniting
the above will be severed, at least un-
til after the voting sheep have been
duly sheared, but which ever is elect
ed, the country" as represented by
the international bankers and big
business generally, will be saved. But
a cloud, no bigger than mans hand
appears on the horizon, and Wall
Street is shaking in its respective
shoes. Lafollette, a man who has
fought on the side of the average
man, for more than forty years, stands
alone and challenges the money Co
Hath. Disregarding the imitation is
sues falsely raised to distract at
tention, he makes his fight on the
one point, shall the rule of the people
be restored, or shall we continue the
present backward course until we
reach the present condition of Ger
many, Russia or Italy? The aver
age man or woman Of these times has
intelligence, well educated, they have
seen few Of the things that are
going on in our government, they can
no longer be herded on futile issues
into two opposing camps, both al
ready sold out to the enemy.
As to your charge that LaFollette
is ''wrecker", / admit he helped to
wreck some things, during the last
few sessions, among them he was one
of the few who wrecked the attempt
to enter the league of Nations,
which would have plunged US into the
European whirlpool; he helped to
wreck the infamous Mellon plan to
take most of the tax burden from the
excessively rich, on the supine plea
that they wouldn't pay it anyway!
He helped to wreck the political ca
reer of such bright and shining stars
