THE LEADER ENTERPRISE
The People Should Learn
To Discriminate
Editor, Fitzgerald Enterprise,
Fitzgerald, Georgia,
My Dear Sir:
I have read with much interest
your editorial entitied ‘‘Tamper
ing with Human Lite.” You are
perfectly right in your criticisms
of public urderstanding of health
topics. In the last sentence of
your editorial, you say, ‘lt would
seem to us that the medical socie
ties would see to it that a bunch of
crooks couldn’t prey on the ignor
ance and credulity of the public.”
Have you stopped to consider what
would happen to the medical
societies 1f they attempted to en
fr%rce the medical practice acts in
the different states fof the protec
tion of the people? They would
immediately be attacked as trying
to create or maintain a ““medical
trust” or ‘*medical monopoly” and
would be accused of selfish motives
in trying to put out of business
ignorant fakirs'and charlatans who
are preying on the public health
and prosperity.
This isn’t any imaginary state
ment. It has happened hundreds
of times all over the country un
til the medical organizations have
gotten tired of being suspected
and accused of such motives when
they were trying to protect the
people from the worst kind of
swindlers and harpies, In fact,
the organized medical profession
has about come to the conclusion
that it is impossible to attempt the
punishment of these fakirs until
the people have come to have
enough knowledge of modern
scientific medicine and enough con
fidence in educated medical men
to treat these imipostors the same
way that fakirs and crooks in all
other lines are treated, but this
movement must come from the
public rather than from physicians,
Yery truly yours,
Frederick R. Green,
Secretary Council on Health and
Publie Instruction.

Sextette From Lucia
And Attorney Hooper
Atlanta, Aug. 11.—They are tell
ing an amusing story at the Federal
building on United States Attorney
Hooper Alexander, who is a great
lover of music. Nobody could un
derstand this year why he decided
not to take his usual annual vaca
tion until it was discovered that a
real, old-styled hurdy-gurdy which
plays the Sextette from Lucia and
the Trovatore tunes has been in
stalled in a shooting gallery in a
neighborhood beneath the District
Attorney’s window so that the lyric
tunes of the Italian opera float up
ward all day long. They say he
sits there and listens to them for
hours’at a time with a rapt smile
on his face.
Good Middling Cotton 10¢
The Dodd Supply Company,
know as the ‘‘poor man’s friend”
are making an attractive propo
sition to their supply customers
for meeting their indebtedness
promptly. They are offering 10
cents per pound for good mid
dling cotton, and 1 cent per
pound higher than the market
price for lower grades providing
treir customers turn them over
enough cotton to pay their in
debtedness in full on or before
Scpt. 15th.
This hustling firm were in the
lead last year making a similar
offer, and obtained enough ad
vertising since then and enjoyed
sufficient amount of more trade
to make up this loss to themsel
ves. We congratulate them in
their every effort to help out our
farmer friends. i

Defeated But
Hot Discouraged
i The Woman suffrage Bill argued
ibefore the House committee on
Constitutional Amendments in the
lCapitol in Atlanta on Thursday July,
29. Three women spoke Tor thHE“hith
while two who opposed. The
committee had declined to hear
speeches on the subject from any
man. Over a hundred women. most
of them keenly interested in the
passage of the bill sat in the house}
listening debate, and many of the
legislators stayed and listened,‘
largely out of curiosity. Some of
them seemed quite convinced,
however,and Mrs. W.R. Felton an
enthusiatic suffragist of over 80
years was heartily applauded by
both suffragists and the antis.
The other speakers were Miss
F. S. Whiteside and Mrs. Elliott
'Cheatam, in its favor.
Suffragein Georgia seems to be
making headway every day. The
papers in Atlanta that formerly
refused even the press notices
offered them, are now sending
regular reporters for the news.
Editorially also, they are beginn-
