The overwhelming majority of them have not even avauefj themselves of the opportunity of securing prescription permit " Dblanks and a large percentage who secured them last year did| not apply for renewal of the permits this year. . However, in some of the larger cities there are a few physi- cians who have been persistent law-breakers. \ “There have been some notable instances in the city of Chicago. Last week the district attorney caused t[le arrest of a physician in that city who had issued 1,200 prescriptions in the last four months, a thousand of which were written on ordinary office stationery as emergency prescriptions for “general de- bility.” yA test case will be made to determine the right of physi-' cians to issue unlimited quantities of emergency prescriptions. The medical fraternity, a majority of which are law-abiding, will commend the action of the government officials in this case..

The agricultural appro-| priation bill as passed by the house authorized the expenditure; of $300,000 for the free distribution of seeds, but the bill as re- ported out by the senate committee was minus this provision. The original purpose of the free seed distribution was not so| bad. It will be remembered that formerly the seed packets bore! a legend to the effect that the seeds were selected with great care from varieties which the department of agriculture had un- der observation. The recipient was requested to make report: of his success, together with such remarks as might be deemed | valuable. That is, the department of agriculture proposed to| _take the peopleinto partnership and extend its experimentation | to every part-of the country in the interests of agriculture. ' But the method of making the distribution was unfortunate- | The member of congress early saw the value of the little seed packets in making him strong with the home folks. Congress: lacked sympathy for the ideals of the department of agricul-: ture, but it had a healthy appreciation of political assets. And! the insincerity extended to the selection and purchase of the seeds. The charge was frequently made and never refuted, that seedsmen having an over-stock of doubtful seeds found ways| of getting rid of them profitably through the government. | -0- What do you, American citizens, think of the board of county commissioners of Brown county, Minnesota? They awarded the county printing to a German newspaper—get that! —a German newspaper printed in Minnesota, U. S. A. You, would scarce believe there was a board of citizens in the United | States who would be guilty of such a disgraceful act, but it is: true, and the worst feature of it is they have got away with it.| What chance would an American newspaper in Germany have' of securing any public printing in competition with a German paper?
