1. what the Clarion article stated:
' We had written up an article on
the city hospital for thto issue, but
decided that we would hold the
article up for the present, a. the
fact, set forth would no doubt cause
Ihe elttoens of Shawnee to hold an
Indignation meeting and appoint a
committee to Investigate the charges.
This, of course, would probably re
.ult In several members of the med
leal association being barred from
the hospital. If not barred from fur-
ther practice. We have no desire to
cause anyone any unnecessary
trouble, provided, of course they
ahow a disposition to "qut their
meanness,' as Sam Jones use to
.ay. The publication of thto article
will be held up pending the good
behavior of those concerned,and the
way this place will be conducted
in the fture."

The article to of the das. denomi-

item as it referred to another article
which had been suppressed pending
the reform of the practloners and
their abandonment of the acta com

Tbe whole was out the figment oi

mole hill as it referred to a social
event of a modest and entirely Inno-

present. Some socialist or other
grouch heard a little laughter and
his distorted mind at once reached
the conclusion that it was criminal
or Immoral for a nurse or a hospital
attendant to laugh, and he carried
the story to Byler with the result
stated.

He is a progressive in that he be-

C HARGES EN TIRELY BASELESS.

'The Shawnee t'larlon," a reputed
toclalist weekly published as Its la-
bel indicate, at lola, Kans.. and dis-
tributed here, in which the medical
profession of Shawnee and the mu-
nicipal hospital are assailed by in-
Blnuation and innuendo, led to a
special meeting of the Pottawatomie
ty who practice at the municipal
hospital, and there to no more care-
fully and properly conducted hospi-
tal in thiB or any other state than
the Shawnee City hospital. It Is also
r.'ported to be the only municipal
hospital in tbe state which has not
become a burden on the taxpayers.
Such unfounded and manufactured
charges when they strike at the
reputation of an ably managed In

acter of the member, of an honor-
able profession are not only vicious
hut a criminal libel, and they deserve
the rebuke and resentment of all
