DOCTORS AREN'T VILLAINS

, The indictment of members of the
American Medical Association anC
local, Washington. d. c., physicians
is certainly radical procedure. Grand
Jury indictments charge that the as
sociations are monopolies in re-
straint of trade" The United States
Department of Justice backs the
prosecutions of the doctors.
During the year there has been a
movement throughout the country in
organizing group health associations.
Those who Joined have paid one or
two dollars a month, which entitled
them to medical and hospital SER
vices in case of illness. 1t is an old
plan. The Washington Medical So
ciety expelled some of the health
association doctors for unethical
conduct and practices. Instead of
letting the doctors fight it out" as
they have done for a hundred years
the Department of Justice invoked
the processes of criminal laws.
The monopoly spotlight was turn
ed from the big trusts and industrial
concerns onto the doctors. The Am
erican Medical Association was evil
IDENTIFY the target because 1t included
doctors from all over the country in
its membership.
Indictments of these doctors seem
like a very drastic and circusy-per-
formance as a prelude to new ma
tional health movement. 1t naturally
clouds the movement. The nations
doctors are intimately connected
with the home life of the American
people. Notwithstanding this fact
they are indicted like deep-dyed VIII
lians. AS a matter of fact there is
no profession that stands higher In
the estimation of the American pub
lie than our doctors. s-.

WASTEFUL GOVERNMENTS BEST
FRIEND

Many oil companies advertise the
price of gasoline in this fashion:
Gas, Is cents a gallon; state and
federal tax, cents; total, 21 cents
If similar methods of illustrating
the price of all products were en-
ployed, the American consumer
would get the shock of his life.
When you buy five-dollar pair
of shoes "a dollar or more is for
taxes. When you pay a three-dollar
electric bill, so or so cents repre-
sent taxes. When you buy a forty
dollar suit, close to ten dollars goes
for taxes.
You can't dodge taxation-unless
you're a hermit living in the hills.
On a normal day, you pay taxes a
doze ntimes, though you may not
know it-when you drive your car,
ride a trolley, eat lunch. or make a
purchase. When the American peo-
pie get this truth through their
heads. there will be a drive for eco
nomy in government that will get
somewhere. For ignorance of the
facts is a wasteful governments best
friend.

HOW THE COW RAISED
THE FARM INCOME

The prices of farm products drop
ped about 259o in the first half o
/ 1888. Cash farm income including
/ Government payments to farmers il
1888 will be about 81 1000, 1000, 900 lesi
than the corresponding combined
totals for 1887, which will lower the
total of the farmers cash income fol
this year about 1870. The Secretary
of Agriculture reveals the foregoing
facts in his annual report, fresh of
the presses from the Government
Printing Office. Mr.. Wallace say
that all the important farm pro
ducts shared in the decline with
wheat and cotton suffering the
greatest drops.
Farmers often seem to be more
concerned about prices than about
income, and to get more satisfaction,
for example, out of selling one dozen
eggs at so cents than two dozen at
40 cents a Dozen" is an observation
by Secretary Wallace. That human
interest sentence proves that he still
has the "editorial-swing" of words.
Thus eggs from the hen-house ara
mentioned to furnish a side light on
farmers practices by the top-man in
American agriculture
1t is a coincidence that the re-
port Of the Department and a report
of National Dairy Products COrpor-
alton to stockholders were issued at
almost the same time. The latter un-
official communication shows the
bright side of some of the gloomy
facts that are recorded in the Off
cial review.
las in the past, the COW proved to
be the chief support of farm pur-
chasing" says President Thomas Fl.
McInnerney. of National Dairy. and
he tells the record Of the closing
year in which amidst general de-
clines, milk has continued to pour
cash into farmers pockets, undi-
minished in amount from last year.
In fact, ''he relates, through 0cto-
Der of 1898 milk had returned far
mers 1,243 million dollars compar-
ed with 1.241 million dollars the year
before. Not without reason has milk
been called the mainstay of farm
purchasing power" observes Mr..
McInnerney, and he adds: But
milk can be a mainstay only to the
extent that a day in and day out
market is provided for the output Of
the nations 25,0OO.0OO cows. Factor
les, sales organizations, large finan-
cial resources and trained personnel
are required to provide that market
which converts milk in the pail to
dollars in. the farmers pocket. Milk
and dairy product companies are
justly entitled to a measure of cred
il for this accomplishment"
During 1888 the retail prices of
dairy products declined along with
other foods Probably the chief fac
tor in bolstering dairy farmers in
come amidst the general decline in
farm income as a whole has been
the public acceptance of milk, but
ter. cheese and other dairy products
as low cost. health giving foods for
the daily diet.

Redmond
B, nluet Address

S: R: Redmond, attorney who car.
ried the Gaiiies case through the
United States Supreme Court to sue
cessful conclusion, was principal speak
er at the Phyllis Wheatley Auxiliary
banquet, Tuesday evening; Gaines,
had sued the state Of Missouri for the
right TO attend he University Law
School.
1t is believed that the findings viii
completely change the educational set
up of the entire southland.
Mr.. Redmond, whose subject em-
braced the seven most important cases
affecting Negroes, explained that Ne
groes should not be too highly elated
over the recent court successes, as
they were only the groundwork.
The great work still lies before the
group, to consolidate our gains, and
make them operate as intended.
Brilliant, penetrating, without the
fireworks which so often characterizes
affairs of this kind Mr.. Redmond ap-
peared to us more the guide and
teacher.
In an interview just before the din
ner, Mr.. Redmond disclosed that he
was born in Jackson Mississippi, an,
had completed his education at Har
ward University. 1t was apparently hi
opinion, that Negroes should be bette
OF s9n!tq!suods7I I!eql o. So poleonp'
sup VI 'dnoI5 pue 6l!unmuoo I!oq
he stated, both the church and pres
should realize their responsibilities t.
keep the public honestly informed.
| He spoke highly Of many newsmer
of his acquaintance, whom he sale
were carrying on this program some
times at financial loss.
The banquet itself was successful
affair, there being about one hundred.
fifty persons in attendance.
There was some disappointment ex-
pressed, that no new Head Resident OF
Phyllis Wheatley presented:
Attorney Harry L. Scott was mas
ter of ceremonies.

WIDE BOSTON PROTEST BANS
BIRTH OF A NATION"

Roston, Mass, Feb, (CNA)-A
projected showing of the anti-Negro
picture, "The Birth of Nation" at the
Boston Newsreel Theatre, which plan
ned to open this week, has been can
celled as result of mass pressure.
DIR. Simmons, prominent dentist and
active leader of the New England
Committee for Equal opportunities,
took the initiative in organizing a
broad committee to oppose the SANDER
Gus picture.
A delegation including DR.. Simmons,
John S. R. Bourne, prominent attor-
ney; Mr.. Sexton, singer, Joseph Mel
son, Republican leader, and Mrs.
WORTHY, white Democratic leader,
visited the management of the theatre,
protesting the planned showing of the
picture. The delegation also protested
to the Board of Censors in Boston and
the picture was withdrawn
Many social and labor organizations,
including the Communist Party, joined
in the protest, helping to obtain the
ban on the picture.

Old Resident OF
Minneapolis Dies

A pail of gloom hung over lower
| Washington Avenue Sunday morning
as ti1ef and women who seldom wills.
per, told In hushed tones of Mrs. Wal
ton Mitchell passing on. Name, as she
was affectionately known to many, had
suffered parytic stroke sometime ago
and had finally succumed to heart
attack.
Mrs. Mitchell had come here in the
early days, when Minneapolis prided
herself on her lumber. She had fitted
into the life of the time with not a
little success, and had acquired her
share of this worlds goods.
Tales of her generosity are legend,
and it is claimed that no derelic,
whose cause came before her went
without decent burial. Many of the
needy still tell tales or her aid.
The phsycology of giving reflected
itself in her religious attitude, as she
made generous donations to many
churches. Loyal to the gaudy ideas
of the earlier years, Mrs. Lacey like
ostrich plumes, rustling silks, and ex-
pensive jewelry.
Regardless of time and change, she
was often seen attired in her favorite
garb.
Jewelry was almost fetish with
her, and those of her immediate family
religously wore diamonds.
Her husband, Kid Mitchell, who
preceded her in death sometime ago,
had tooth set with diamond and an
Elk tooth with similar setting. When
he passed on, he was buried with
jewelry which was claimed to be worth
three thousand dollars. With the cerr-
ing of prohibition, and subsequent
"hard times" the body was exhumed,
and the jewelry removed.
Refusing to yield to changing times
and styles, Mrs. Lacy drove horses
until about 1926.
She was gifted with keen sense OF
that it would be visible to all.
The horse, too, was an object of af-
lection, for one of his teeth was set
with diamond, and the lip split SO
