NO DOCTORS SOON.
!‘'rom the Chicago American.
Rockford, III.—Don’t sidestep
when the doctor presents his bill.
Sit up'and look happy.
For a do/.en years hence doctors will
be more scarce than chauiTeurs who
observe the speed regulations.
You won’t be 111, and instead of
hunting a doctor will be lookiug for a
job.
President J. E/ Percy of the State
Medical association, in session here,
declares that ere long there will be no
such word as disease—there will tie no
unsolved medical problems.
This is what he says:
“Medicine is advancing by seven
league boots. The day of radicalism
in medicine is gone. Schools of medi
cines are gone. Already the mortality
has been reduced 40 percent and ten
or twelve years have been added to
the expectancy of forty-five years.
The medicine of the future will not
be humbled by isms.
“Cancer may be known only by de-
scriptions in history. Typhoid and
tuberculosis will be known as “The
ignorance of the ancients.’ We will
have a human brain that has been
born right for generations. Science
awaits a man who can teach any
brain to think.
“We doctors must change our atti
tude toward the public. We must
advertise that we are working to de-
stroy the necessity for the existence
of our professson and back it up with
proof.
“In the future every county will
have a medical bureau, and the high
cost to the country doctor of appara-
tus for research will be done away
with. The hospitals of the*future
mill be situated in the country. Wipe
out state lines and let properly quali-
lied physicians practice wherever the
(tag of their country floats.’*’
Here is the best advise to consump-
tives from a symposium on tuberculo-
cis by Dr. Henry 15. Favill of Chicago.
Clarence L. Wtieaton of Chicago, Dr.
E. II. Butterfield of Ottowa and Dr.
J. W. Petit of Ottowa:
1— Desert roofed dwellings and live
in the open air.
2— It is a waste of time and money
for consumptives to go to a balmy
clime, stay a few months and then re-
turn to a rugged climate, where their
constitutions, accustomed to living
under mild conditions, break down
again. Take out of doors cure in your
own climate and avoid overdrugging.
3— Tuberculosis is to be cured only
in its incipiency. No fixed time for a
cure can be set.

Wiiat is the use of courts and jur-
ies when we have a president and
some governors who can pass on the
guilt or innocence of men accused of
crime. It is much easier to check
these matters up to one man and let
him pass on the matter. Some men
can tell in a minute whether or not a
man is guilty of a crime if they know
what party ticket he votes. No other
evidence is necessary. — Medicine

It’s all over now. The light for
the nominations has been made and a
good ticket placed in the field. There
is but one thing to do now, and that
is for one and all to lay aside the
scraps that were indulged in and go to
work for the election of the whole
ticket. There is no room for “sore
spots.” Every candidate received
his or her nomination honorably, and
is entitled to the support of every
Democratic voter when election day
comes. _
The Republican papers throughout
the state sought to break C. N. Has-
kell down by calling him “Boss Has-
kell.” But the great man that he is,
he went right along putting in hard
licks here, there and everywhere for
the farmers and the common people
in framing the constitution, paying
no attention to their attacks, and at
the same time winning friends
throughout the state. It was all for
a purpose. They were afraid of Has-
kell then, for they knew what his
nomination ment to the Republican
party in Oklahoma. And the Re-
publican party is more afraid of Has-
kell today since his triumphant nomi-
nation for governor than ever before.
And well they may be!
The Journal has passed the four-
teenth mile-post in its existence as a
newspaper, and this is the second
number in its fifteenth year. It has
labored industriously all these years
tor the interests of the people of
Manchester, Grant county and Okla-
homa, and by square dealing and
honest business methods with one
and all has built up a good business
and one that continues to grow year
by year. It started with an Army
press and a small bit of type, and to-
day lias an outfit of fast presses and
engine and does business in a fire-proff
bnilding of its own on which there
is not a cent of indebtedness. It is
here to stay, and if you feel as though
THE COMMISSIONERSmr.
The vote on commissioner in the
First district was very much of a
surprise to the Journal, as well as to
many others. While the vote for Mr.
Randall at Manchester was even more
than the Journal expected it would
be, he fell down pretty badly in West
Ware and other precincts in the
south part of the district, where we
were led to believe by people from
that part of the district that he
would make almost a clean sweep, and
the result is that Mr. Huntington
won the nomination by 39 majority.
The Jonrnal stated its reasons for
opposing Mr. nuntington for the
nomination, which it had a perfect
right to do, put we hope there will
never be occasion to refer to them
again. The Journal also stated in
the contest that if Mr. Huntington
won tiie nomination he would do so
honorably, in which event it would
bow to the will of the majority, and
that Is the only thing that a true
Democrat could do. The differences
between Mr. Huntington and the
Journal, though trivial in a sense,
were of a personal and not of a
political nature, and if we had ever
had the slightest intention of not
suppoiting him or any other in-
dividual that the majority might
nominate in the primary, vve would
have taken no part in the primary
whatever, for no man has either a
legal or moral right to participate in
a primary for making nominations
and then refuse to support a single
one of the nominees.
It was charged in the campaign
that some of the people down in
Ware townphip (where they have
held the commissioner for this dis-
srict nearly all the while since the
country was settled) “cannot farm
without having the commissioner
among them,” and it seems that a
goodly number down that way want
to demonstrate otherwise—at least
their votes would so indicate.
Since the result of the primary
goes clearly to prove that even the
people in the center and the south
end of the district are willing that
the north end should be recognized,
Mr. Huntington’s nomination is the
best thing that could have happened
for the success of the party. The
sentimeut, even among the Republi-
cans in the north end, is so strong for
a north side man that many of them
(and perhaps some who never voted
for a Democrat in their lives) pledged
themselves to Mr. Huntington in case
tie got the nomination. As to
whether whey will “deliver the
goods,” now that Mr. Huntington is
the nominee, remains to be seen, but
we have reason to believe that with
very few exceptions they are honest
and will carry out their pledge at the
general election. Some may have
trided to work their “rabbit's foot'
by this pledge, thinking that there
was no show for Mr. Huntington’s
nomination and that their pledge
would give them a stronger leverage
to pull Democratic votes for the Re-
publican nominee at the general
election, but if so they, too, were mis-
taken and are in duty bound to
support Mr. Huntington.
We naturally supposed that Mr.
Huntington's location would make
his nomination suicidal to the party,
but since the sentiment throughout
the district is so strong for a north
end man, we are convinced that with
earnest work on the part of one and
all he can be elected by a good
majority, and to that end the Journal
is ready to work until the polls close
on the day of the general election.
BIGGER THAN TIIE STATE-
The railroads of Missouri have
come to the conclusion that they are
bigger than the state and have
started in to fight the new 2-cent fare
law which goes into effect, there the
14th of June.
Tiie announcement is mudo that
tiiey may sell a few tickets on the
morning of the 14th at 2 cents per
mile, but tiiey don’t expect to do so
in the afternoon of that day or any
other time within the next few years.
There are eighteen railroads joined
in the suit, and they think they are
in position to make it hot for every
individual in the state who buys a
2-cent fare ticket. In other words,
tiiey propose to get an injunction
from the courts restraining the pur-
chase of railroad tickets at 2 cents
per mile.
Tiie railroads are powerful, we
know (they have run Oklahoma in the
past and will continue to run it un-
til we get statehood) but the time
will come when they will have to
listen to tiie will of the people, not
only in Missouri, but in Oklahoma
as well.
OKLAHOMA CONSTITUTION
Tiie Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
says. "The Plot to hold up the
Oklahoma constitution and prevent
the admission of the state before next
Presidential election is clearly in
process of being called out, and tiie
plant which is engineering it is
located in Washington rather than
in Oklahoma. Tiie ostensible reason
is that tiie constitution has gerry-
mandered tiie state in favor of the
Democrats, which is of course very
shocking to the Republican ideas of
propriety, such a thing as a Republi-
can gerrymander never having been
known. But the real reason is that
tiie new state would probably fall
into Democratic possession and add
seven votes of that political color to
the electoral college a year from next
fall. It has been supposed that
Oklahoma would prove to be so
strongly Democratic, the last con-
gress would have withheld its en-
abling ordinance at least until aft^r
tiie next presidential election. New
states are desirable only as tiiey are
Republican in politics.”
We were surprised when we read in
Wednesday’s dailies that Governor
Hughes of New York had vetoed the
bill reducing railroad car fares to two
cents per mile in that state, Con-
sidering the millionaires that have
been made in dealings in railroad
stocks, it would be a mighty hard
matter to make a reasonable minded
western man believes that the big
trunk lines cannot afford to carry
passengers for two cents a mile, but
Governor Hughes says they can’t,
and that ends tiie matter in New
York for the present. Hughes, of
course, is a Republican, but we doubt
very much, even with every railroad
in New York boosting him, his ever
being able to be elected for another
term. A few such wraps across tiie
people’s shinns in New York will set
them thinking seriously about such
matters, and tiiey will begin to see
the necessity for an amendment to the
constitution for tiie initiative and
referendum (same as we are to have
in Oklahoma) which places tiie veto
power with the people and not with a
governor who is controlled by the
corporations. During the remainder
of his life Hughes will be a back
number in New York with all but
the railroads, and we don’t suppose
they will have much use for him
either,after he steps down out of
office. _

The codling moths battling around
in the dust of evening hunting ap-
ples leads to the thought that as there
are no apples or pears tiie moth will
have no place to lay eggs for next
year. Hence there will be few moths
next year. The trees having rested
this summer will grow lots of fruit
spurs and next year will see a bumper
crop of apples free from worms.
Mark it down and see if it don’t come
true.—Anthony Republican.
This may work up around Anthony,
but down in this part of the country
there are lots of apples and some pears
