ever may he the efficacy of tneir method
of treating maladies that the human body

, All of the methods of healing and ad-
justment whose practitioners have Been
disturbed by the pendency of this bill
have acquired t, standing and following
which entitle thnn Ho the la Vs counten-
ance and toleration. This is not to ex-
press any opinion fits to the efficacy or
scientific validity of any one of them. It
is merely to say that the positions they
occupy in popular esteem are such as to
forbid that the practice of them be out-
Jawed or be atbjectd to any more re-
strictive regulation than is necessary to
afford some astrance that those who en-
gage in them arc qualified to practice the
method of healing that they profess to
have mastered. Tbs issue presented is.
fundamentally, one of individual freedom.
The individual citizen has a right to his
choice of methods, and also he has a
right to tome jiroMtction against impos-
tors. These twe principles ought to ani-
mate the law in its effort to regulate the
practice of medicine or any other method
of healing. , 1 '
Thai the pending HB would is some
measure violate the first named of them
is evident, rises its effect would be
temporarily at least, to deny the oppor-
tunity to those who wish the ministra
of chiropnctk. Whether it would
have a similar- effect with respect to the
other methods of healing is not clear
to The News. But it thinks that such
an effect would be effectually precluded
by the adoption of iiome such amendment]
to the pending measure as that which
Senator Davis has proposed. The pur-
pose and necessary effect of that amend-
ment would be to define the practice of
medicine in a way which corresponds with
the fact, and, bj doing that, exempt from
the provisions of the Medical Practice)

To bring under the requirements of a
medical practice acf those who do not in
fact practice medicine would be, if not to
do injustice, at leroit to create the likeli-
hood of injustice fceing done !n the ad-
ministration of the law. In so far as the

out of business for four years at least.j that without the wildcatter, the oil in*
and require them, an a condition of get- dustiy would be like a ship without a
redder.
Recent charges assert that the wildcat-
ter has lost thousands of dollars in drill-
ing dry holes in unproven areas.
But how about the millions that have
been “cleaned up” as a result of a wild-
cat discovery?
Take the Mexia field, for instance.
That field alone has produced oil already
valued at approximately $60,000,000.
Before #11 of the oil has been taken
from this district, it has been estimated,
and conservatively at that, than this field
will produce oil valued at more than
$150,000,000.
That is only one instance. Smackover.
El Dorado, Burk-burnett, Ranger and
countless other fields in the Southwest
may be taken as examples. *
And the total value of oil produced
from these- fields wotfd easily be in ex
cess of $1,000,000,000. And that’s a con-
servative figure.
Just think of the millions of dollars that
have been paid to the stockholders in com-
panies operating in these fields! Just
think bow many concerns got a start due
to a foothold in these fields when it was
considered wildcat territory!
Mexia’s discovery produced one of the
greatest of] companies in the country.
Discovery of the Ranger field did die
same thing. . ,
And all of this could not have happen
ed, millions paid to stockholders, million*
of valuable oil secured which wag badly
needed, and the areas in which the oil
was discovered made prosperous, without
the wildcatter. - \
True there has been a great deal of
money lost in drilling wildcats But then
the word “lost” is not the fitting term.
Nothing is ever lost on the universe
Most of the money, no doubt, was used
in drilling the tests. "Some of it went to
the poor, struggling farmer for lease?
and some paid to a drilling crew.

ciation. The board applied the test which
the lady failed to meet—and she left for
greener fields- *
Since, that time several women
representing the same organization 'have
canvassed the town, and so far as we
knbw got away with the liberal spirit
of giving to such causes which prevails
here. A lady worked the town again
Thursday, and when she passed the tam-
borine under the writer’s dose she had
sufficient money to make a good rattle,
and no doubt had “dumped” it several
times, before appealing to our deaf ear.
It is said upon pretty good authority
that these collectors work on a fifty-
fifty basis, and are their own bookkeep-
ers, and too frequently do such impos-
tors make it hard-whem the call comes for

HANDLING” THE PUBLIC
Judging from the frequent visits of
representatives of a certain would-be
baud of “rescue workers,” this cify is in
an easy mark when it come# to jarring
loose from the coho. Within the last two
weeks, two women have worked Ballinger,
passing around the tarn boring, and that
too after the public had been * warned
that they were being “panhandled” out of
