Chiropractors Should Not Be Subject of Persecutions.

The Republican is by request publishing an article contributed by a doctor of chiropractic to The Indianapolis Star, following the plans taken at the meeting of tne state medical society to put the chiros out of business. At tne last session of the legislature an effort was made to license the practice of chiropractic in this state but it was opposed by medica men and was defeated. It seems to us that regulation would be better. The writer has never been attended by a chiro and knows but little of their profession but believes there is a field for it and that there should be no controversy with the doctors of medicine. There are doubtless fakirs in the chiropractice, jußt as there have been in medicine. It .became necessary to pass laws to regulate the practice of medicine and to require standards of proficiency and when these were established the fakirs largely disappeared. The chiros have a recognized standard and a school to equip candidates to meet the standard, just as the osteopaths have. There are some • who are practicing who are not up to the standard and regulation would eliminate them. True, there are persons who have tried chiropractice who have not been benefited and who will pronounce them of no good, but there are others who have received relief and cure at their hands and the experience is not at all different from that of many with doctors of medicine. The medical profession is one of the noblest in the world and yet many practitioners are unable to solve" some very simple ailments and there are a class of patients who make the rounds of the doctors without getting any lasting benefit from any of them. It is claimed by some of these that the first relief they have had has come from the chiros and this is the evidence that should cause them to be licensed and regulated by the legislature and physicians should welcome this action and be glad to have persons working for the relief of human suffering in a manner in which their schooling has not preptred them. Locally, Joe Jeffries is a type of citizen any community should be pleased to have. He is clean morally, thrifty, honest and a churchman. He spent several months acquiring the education that made him a chiropractic and he is as devoted to the welfare of his clients as any physician in Indiana. Certainly no legislature should Contemplate depriving these men of the right to practice without proving that their business as abusiness is a fraud. Individual cases & fraud would not suffice, they can be cared for by regulation. But if Joe Jeffries is a fair sample of the chiropractics of Indiana there is certainly no honorable basis for the opposition of the Indiana State Medical Society.

John Duvall Was Sick k With Bad Case of Hives.

John Duvall, the dairyman, was confined at his home last week with a bad case of hives and in some manner the report gained circulation that he was a smallpox victim. Once started the report spread like wildfire and milk customers of Mr. Duvall were naturally much alarmed. There was no occasion, however, as Mr. Duvall had nothing but a case of giant hives, there was no eruption whatever and the report has been doing a decided injustice. . Dr. Johnson, the attending physician, called at The Republican office to ask that in the name of fairness to Mr. Duvall it be made perfectly clear to the public that he was suffering from nothing that was infectious and that he had nothing but hives. \

FIRE AT CENTRAL OFFICE SUNDAY

Smoke Stifled Operators and Drove All But One From Room—Damv . 'age Was Small.

Fire threatened the Roth block Sunday morning when the girls in the telephone office in that building discovered the room in the rear filled with smoke and made ineffectual efforts to call the fire department, Fire Chief Montgomery and the light and water plant. So dense was the smoke that the girls were driven from their posts of duty all except Miss Alta Shuey, who remained until almost suffocated in her effort to get response to calls from the stations that are notified in case of fire. It became so dark that the drops in the office could not be seen and coming at the hour on Sunday morning when the lights are turned off added to the inconvenience. Some one entered the operators’ room and struck a match to give the light so that Miss Shuey could put a plug in No. 91, to-ring the water plant. No response was received from any of the numbers and finally Miss Shuey left the room and was supported as she went down the stairs. Word had been telephoned to W. L. Bott, the secretary and treasurer of the telephone company and to Floyd A. Graver, the head lineman, and both rushed from their homes to the telephone office. Mr. Myers, the president, was also there. Miss Shuey had not oeen seen by the other operators as she went down the stairs and when Messrs. Graver and Bott arrived they reported that she was still at the keyboard. Mr. Graver rushed up the steps and into the operators’ room, but was compelled to drop down on his hands and knees and crawl about in his search for Miss Shuey. He did not abandon the search until he felt that he could not longer withstand the torture of the smoke. After he reappeared it was found that Miss Shuey was safely out of the buikling. The damage will probably not exceed $35 or S4O, but it was a close call for very serious results. Geo. M. Myers, the president and manager of the company, had been using a small vulcanizing burner to repair some automobile tires and after mending two and setting the third into the machine had watched itr until the blaze jumed low and then went down to >ut the repaired tires in the machine. The vulcanizer was attached to a corner of a small work table that was covered with cardboard. A window nearby was open and a strong breeze was blowing. Evidently the flame J’rom the vulcanizer had ignited the cover of the table and it spread rapidly, setting fire to the paper in a wastebasket and a small box and a chair and the floor. The tire was entirely consumed and evidently the 1 turning rubber added to the density of the smoke. When the fire company arrived entrance was effected from the alley and over the roof in the rear of the Roth building. A small stream of water and one chemical hand tank . subdued the flames. The heat had damaged a number of telephones and 1 jarts of phones and the smoke had done some damage but the prompt discovery and prompt action after the alarm was received saved what otherwise would have been a very bad fire.

We wish to thank our friends for the kindness shown towards us during the illness of our grandson.—Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Thompson.

ALLIES MAKE GAIN ALONG WEST FRONT

Capture 20,000 Germans Along 20 Mile Line and Regain Ground Lost Last December. The French and English were successful in a drive against the German trenches Saturday and the London report, substantiated by admissions from Berlin, claim that 20 miles of trenches were captured and that 20,000 prisoners were taken. This is ground taken by the Germans last December and its loss is believed to be a serious blow to the Germans. The advantage was gained by heavy artillery fighting aided by well-seasoned infantry. Souchez, the goal of the allies for months, was captured.* The German report claims that the allies suffered heavy losses in the attack.

Chiropractors Versus “Regulars.”

To the Editor of The Star: The action of the Ihdiana State Medical Association in voting to appropriate money to fight the chiropractirs in the next legislature is only a repetition of what we had to contend with at the last session of the legislature when the medical men introduced laws that would have put us in the penitentiary if they had succeeded in passing them. The general public did not approve of such a measure, neither will it approve of the effort to again pass such a law. The association is trying to force men and women to patronize only medical men, regardless of their personal desires. What must the public think of a profession that will ask laws of this nature ?

If there are quacks in the chiropractic rangs, and no doubt but there are, the medical men are to blame for them; they will not permit us to secure a law establishing a chiropractic examining board so that only qualified chiropractors would be permitted to practice. We presented a law at the last session of the legislature asking for such a board and making the educational requirements high enough to suit the objections of the medical men, and yet they simply said to the senate committee, “Yes the educational requirements are enough, but we do not want them licensed by any other than our medical examining ward.” We refused and will continue to refuse this proposition of their’s, as it will make it necessary for us to attend a medical school two years and then our own the required number of years. Might as well advocate* that ocomotive engineers could examine an electric engineer or motorman as to expect a medical board to examine chiropractors. We do not use medicine or practice medicine, then why should we be made to study medicine and pass a medical board? We do not hear objections to our practicing except it be from the medical men and their allies. The object of medical men should be and I trust it is to restore the ailing to health and to help those in heatlh to remain so. If this be true, why can they ob.ect to those who are doing the same work, though it be in a different manner? The chiropractor gets those who have given medicine years of trial and failed to get results. The medical men' get the first chance; it is only when they fail that the chiropractor is hunted up. The medical men must perfect their science so that they can cure, then all other methods will be unnecessary and will fail as a consequence. Let us remember that no one system of cure for sickness has yet been perfected, and until that time comes, permit each man to choose his own doctor. The chiropractors have no fight upon any system of healing and believe in the right of each individual to choose the system and doctor that he wishes. FRANK J. WRIGHT, D. C. Indianapolis.

CARD PARTY FOR UNITED CHARITIES

Committee Plans Seven-Up Party For Wednesday Night, Oct. 6th— Cafeteria Also.

At the outset of the fall the feoard of Associated Charities finds itself without funds and with many calls for help. It is proposed to relieve the early needs by giving a card party at the armory Wednesday evening of next week, Oct. 6th, and if this proves successful to give others later in the year. A committee consisting of Mrs. Harvey W. Wood, Jr., Mrs. Edd J. Randle, Miss Eva Moore, C. W. Hanley, C. P. Fate and Geo. H .Healey has been chosen to give the first party and some two hundred and fifty invitations are being sent out to ladies and men and an admission of 25 cents will be charged each. The plan o"f entertainment includes an hour and a half or two hours of seven-up, a short musical program and then a cafeteria luncheon to be served at a schedule of prices that should be satisfactory to all.

The motive is< a most worthy one and it is hoped that all who are able arrange to attend the first of the card parties. Signify your desire to attend by calling Miss Eva Moore, secretary of the committee and one of the ticket sellers will see you or greot you at the armory on the evening of the party.

Classified Advertisement Sold B. Forsythe’s Farm.

B. Forsythe was always an advertiser and he always got results. He has paid a good many hundreds of dollars to The Republican and he saw a great business grow and prosper through the liberal use of the columns of the newspaper. Since he retired from the mercantile business he has occasionally found it advisable to advertise and he has quite invariably got results. On Sept. 13th he called at The Republican office and placed a classified advertisement in the paper for the sale of a 90-acre farm. Today he closed a deal for the sale of 100 acres, not the exact land he had advertised but a part of the same farm and sold it to a -'man who had seen the advertisement in The Republican and called on him in response to its appeal. The buyer was Martin L. Ford, who has resided in Hanging Grove township for a number of years and who recently sold his farm there. The 100 acres Mr. Ford buys of Mr. Forsythe lies west of the road and is a part of the old Churchill farm. Mr. Forsythe paid S9O per acre for it. He sells it for S2OO an acre. He had spent considerable money in the improvement of the f§rm but he still has 110 acres and this will sell for enough to more than take care of all the improvements besides the original cost.

Mr. Ford has rented the 90 acres which Mr. Forsythe advertised and will ran it in connection with the land he bought. The other 20 acres of the farm is onion land and will be managed by Mr. Forsythe. The advertisement that resulted in the $20,000 deal cost Mr. Forsythe only $1.25. Had it been sold by an agent the commission would have been S4OO. It pays to advertise.
