Mianta | EDI TORI AL S Those Rounded Street Corners When the new paving was laid we urged the city to round all corners in the paving district, thus giving the maximum traffic space. This the city did at an expenditure of many hundreds of dollars. It was a wise in vestment —a forward step. The corners were dangerous before and as the number of automo biles increase, the danger grew apace. But this expenditure has been completely nullified at certain corners because automobiles are allowed to park at right angles with the curb or within a few feet of the corners. The situation at the corner of Jackson and Lamar is particu larly bad; it is not much better at the corner of Jackson and Church, as well as other corners. No automobile should be al lowed to park within 25 feet of any street corner or within 25 feet of a fire plug. If there is no citv ordinance to cover, one should be passed. Why spend tlje peoples mon ey for an improvement unless all the people are to enjoy the advantages of the investment? ■Y -S x Medical Ethics In Florida — There’s been an unholy rush of doctors and lawyers, as well as real estate men to that State to the south of us where Ponce de Leon pulled the first attempts at a realty boom when he claim ed he had discovered the spring of eternal youth. It is a long jump from the day the old Spaniard went into the mineral water business to this good day, and many queer things have been recorded in the history of this great com monwealth of flowers, climate and that new specie of money called binders. One of the real beauties of Florida is that one can never tell what a day will bring forth. It was the lamented Bryan, we be lieve, who once said of Miami— in one of his real estate lectures —that no matter how big the lie one told about Florida, the truth would catch up with the lie be fore morning. But we started out to write about medical ethics—or rather the lack of that elusive and (in definable thing called medical ethics. We were thinking of the many doctors and dentists and lawyers and chiropodists and other necessary evils that are flocking into Florida—no, WERE scrambling to get in. For awhile it began to look like the United States—outside of Florida would soon be safe for democracy again. But you never can tell about those Flo ridians. Just about the time trek of the professional was getting well under way, along came boards and commissioners and legisla tures and governors. This regi ment of regulators put a crimp into things. No longer could a young (or old) practitioner simply cross the State line and hang up his shingle, even though it was asbestos and guaranteed not to rust. An edict went forth that in the future these chosen men of the universities and correspond ence schools must pass examina tions; they were compelled to run the gauntlet of a bespectac led board of experts. To some of the applicants it was a trip back to boyhood and the old blue back speller. With newly sharpened pencils and scratch pads the erstwhile practitioner became a student again. Receiving his questions and examination paper he sat himself down and. with thumb in mouth and forehead covered with sweat (you don’t perspire in Florida), he labored, yea into the night. There were some who quitted the examination room with broad smiles, knowing they had successfully met the tests. There were others not so sure, and a few left in disgust, thor oughly satisfied that not even the heads of their particular pro- A THOUGHT I ; ■■ i A prophet is not without honor but in his own country, and among his own kin and in his own house, — Mark 6:4 * * * Lavish promises lessen credit.— Horace. hessi ans could pass such stringent and searching exams. For •? few days these would be practitioners hung about Tal lahassee, picking up gossip here and there; asking questions and trying to out do the other fellow on the latest tales of for tunes made over night. But time passes and the crowds disappear. Months went oy and still no word from the board, no licenses or permits to practice in Florida. Something queer—something strange —was happening down at the capital city, but facts were scarce. Theie began to be hi its and whispered bits of gos sip passed around. No one real ly knew, though many suspected. A day or two ago, however, a story emanating from Talla hassee appeared in one of the Lakeland (Fla.) papers. It wai handed to us by a local medical man, from which we quote the following: Tallahassee, Sept. 16. —Dr. J. W. Buck, president of the Flor ida board of medical examiners, resigned today after a short con ference with Governor Martin. Dr. Buck was called before Governor Martin to answer charges of soliciting bribes from Dr. M. F. Carson, of Miami, in return for a license to practice medicine in this state. According to the governor, Dr. Buck ad mitted that he had written let ters and telegrams to Dr. Car son, soliciting money from him, but made the statement that it was to see if Dr. Carson was honest. “If Dr. Carson sent the money it was no indication he was dis honest,” declared Dr. Buck to the governor. “Is that the usual test given to doctors for a medical certifi cate?” Governor Martin asked. The Ultimatu m "It was just to see whether he was honest or not,” replied Dr. Buck. “As long as I am governor I will not tolerate any such thing as a board or a member of any examining board soliciting mon ey for certificates,” declared the chief executive. Governor Martin gave Dr. Buck the choice of either resign ing at once or having his name sent to the senate for removal at the extra session. He chose to resign. Dr. Buck Explains In talking to reporters yester day, Dr. Buck charged that he carried on these alleged bribe ne gotiations with Dr. Garson mere ly to “trap him.” “When Dr. Carson said he was going to get a license to practice medicine in this state regardless of the cost, I decided it was time to get a check and keep him from getting a license permanently, as he evidently appreciated his in ability to get a license legiti mately,” Dr. Buck declared in ex- plaining his situation. In his attempt to pass the buck. Dr. Buck failed to buck quite hard enough. Governor Martin is one of these rare speci i mens, seldom seen in late years, among governors, who shoots j and asks questions afterwards. He wasn’t quite sure whether he smelled a mouse oi not, but | he was sure that there was some | thing dead up the creek. All of which may explain to some of the young (and old) practition ers why their licenses haven’t I yet arrived. Greasing the plain is an old game, about as old as Adam or Abraham, and a most effective | game it is and will be so long as men and money run together. Maybe there’s a tip in this story and maybe not. One never can tell what Flor ida may bring fourth on the > morrow. ¥ ¥ ¥ Extreme Modernism Following the modernization I of "Hamlet’’ Great Britain now sets Harriett Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom’s Cabin" to jazz- A slave girl in a very abbreviat ed costume danced madly be fore a cheering audience as Uncle Tom ’’killed’’ Simon Le slie with a modern automatic.

Taylor, Frank Shef field and N. M. Dudley, of Amer icus. The expected slump in the prictl of cotton, or rather in the cotton fu tures market, has hit the staple all right, and the price is down a dollar or two a bale from the high price of Monday. Holders of spot cotton in Americus do not fear lower prices as a permafiancy. If cotton was worth 11 3-4 to 12 cents two days ago. it is quite as valuable now and may yet go to record high prices.

Well The churches of the world, if they act together, can end war in : this generation, Bishop Brent told the Lniversal Christian Conference, at Stockholm. The international Solicalists used to say the same thing of the work-1 ers of the world. But when the great war came' on, the Socialists of each country I were militantly on the side of that country, just as the churches re turned to worshiping tribal deities j in the name of Jehovah. International sentiment, by edu- i cation, may help avert wars. But really to enforce peace will require organized institutions, too. Our whole nationalistic world or i ganization has been erected for the exact contrary purpose. , There were wars between tribes until related tribes got a common high chief. Then greater wars be-; gan, between these confederations, of tribes. The cities of ancient Greece war red on each other, as did the cities 1 of mediaeval Italy. Inter-city wars ■ became unthinkable after state; were formed. States warred on states, and prov i inces on provinces, until national ' governments prevented. Now nations war on nations. But even international wars were • suspended during the era of “Ro i man peace.” when the empire over j shadowed the nations. Whenever the United States of i the World is fully established, there Jean be no more wars between na ' tions. Since the extinction of war b" -evolution is a matter of ages, while I the preservation of civilization de ; pends on its suppression in a few de. i cades, we must find somethin?' quicker.

AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER I TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY I (From The Times-Recorder. Sept. 30th. 1905 (Mr. Eugene Haynes came down form Atlanta yesterady to spend a ' day or two with his many friends in i Americue. The Seabord train reaching A mericus yesterday afternoon brought form Savannah to Helena’s ' colony of Boers who will settle in [that county and engage in farming (Already quite a number of Boers are near Helena and are highly ’ pleased. I The sale of the W. C. Carter farm of 500 acres to Mr. W. L. Page for $7,000 was reported yes terday. the trade having been pend ing for two or three days. Quite a large audience assembled last night at the Elm Avenue churhc to witness the exhibition of tab leaux presented. The scene wa~ . quite realistic. THIRTY YEARS AC>O TODAY i (Monday . No paper published. i SAYS We have read so much about di- i rigible balloons lately we dreamed last night we were a football. W’hen a fast auto driver goes through life without an accident it is just an accident. Thinking they were having a free i for-all fight, fourteen men in Chi- Jcago found it cost them SIOO each. A highbrow is one who thinks lie can think better than others. A new lamp consuming 94 per i cent air, has been invented. This • is almost as much as an auto sales man. What we have done between in dividuals, we must now do between nations, classes and races, or take , the consequences. The price is the life of civiliaza i tion. The steps to this end are many. I The rest of the world has taken , two of them, in the League of Na tions and the World Court. We have refused to join in the first of thes" , but are committed, so far as a democracy can be committed in ad vance of action, to the second. Both parties officialy, in con vention and in Congress, the admin istrations of two presidents elected by the greatest majorities in history ; and practically every articulate or ganization of the unofficial voice of of public sentiment—all have spok en. Never was popular verdict more , certain and more nearly unanimous Everything is already decided ex cept one thing. That is, whether our representa ‘.tive institutions are representative ■ enough to represent us. About one-fourth of the senators ’ are irreconcilably opposed. This minority is brilliantly led. • i If its leadership and determina- ■ tion can transform its one-fourth in '■ to one-third for some spacious plan 1 of ostensible assent on impossible ' conditions the will of the people is defeated by the very machinery ’ which we have set up for its expres -1 sion. It is by no means -ertain that this will not happen VVe often think an on«y child, through petting’s always spoil ed. Ihe type that never tens real wild; whose garments ne’er are soiled. That may be true in places, yet it’s sometimes not that way. I know, because a case is just a kid I met today- Ote hoys a:.i call im icughy. He’s the hero of the gang. Fie ii tei! you that be s touzth. He puts st over with a bang. He’d lather stage a battle than to eat his daily meals. He’s not the type to rattle. Why, he don't know how it feels. t At football he’s the quarter, and he bosses every “man.” He’s haughty nad he sort’er like to dictate when he can. The kidlets ail admire him, ’cause they know he knows his stuff. It’s spirit that inspires him, ’cause they know h eknows his stuff. It’s \.a y ! te ” h e makes a mighty hit with me. Just think, if he were sissy, what a different tale ’twould be. He’s u e ?'i i_- b el his folks decided on the plan, of makin’ sure he d holo his own, when he becomes a man.
