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?

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-

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.

The expected slump in the prictl
of cotton, or rather in the cotton fu

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.

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

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"
