'middle of the road' at any time, nor any time willing to compromise for the sake of peace. The principles for which we stand are not ours." That listens good to THE CRITIQUE, and we believe The Homoeopatchician is in the hands of people who will carry out what they have undertaken. Success to The Homoeopathician, and more success.

We are glad to announce the speedy resurrection of our esteemed contemporary, THE CRITIQUE. Whatever the causes that led to the discouraging decision to stop its publication with the last volume, they are evidently removed, for No. 1 of the new volume comes with a smile and promising garb. We congratulate the profession of Colorado, and wish THE CRITIQUE a continued successful career.-Pacific Coast Journal of Homoeopathy.

"They say" the Colorado Branch of the National League for Medical Freedom propose proceeding against the Denver School Board for violation of the provisions of an act providing for the examination and care of children in the public schools and making an appropriation in connection therewith. The death of a child in a Denver doctor's office whose tonsils were being removed should set all parents thinking as to who should judge of such things, parent or politician.

Mr. Glenn Q. Smith, manager of the motor car department of the Denver Omnibus and Cab Co., was a recent caller at the offices of THE CRITIQUE, and from him we learn that his company has inaugurated a system of taxi tolls, for night service especially, that should appeal to physicians in making calls during this time. The rates are based upon a mileage charge, seventy cents for the first mile and forty cents for each additional mile. Editor of THE CRITIQUE has had occasion to use this service and considers it not only reasonable as to cost, but from the class of employes participating in its performance, the promptness of serving and other essential details, as highly satisfactory.

Word was received in Denver yesterday of the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Arns Hart, wife of Dr. Charles N. Hart, a pioneer physician of Denver. Mrs. Hart died Saturday night of pneumonia. Her husband and two children were with her at the time of her death. The children. R. A. Hart and Mrs. Sidney Moore, of Denver, left this city a week ago when they received word that their mother was ill.

For many years Mrs. Hart was prominent in Denver society. Last fall Dr. Hart purchased a farm at Marshfield, Mass., and two months ago the doctor and Mrs. Hart took up their residence on the farm.News, February 5, 1912.

Mrs. Hart was buried in Denver the fore part of last month, services being held from St. John's Cathedral. THE CRITIQUE extends sympathy to Dr. Hart and family.

Something has happened! THE CRITIQUE passed into the ranks_of the "has beens" "Just because," as announced by its editors in the December issue, and before the printer's ink was fairly dry, on December 26, to be exact, came the announcement that "THE CRITIQUE will be continued during the year 1912," and it "will be bigger, better and broader than ever."

And why? "The numerous protests against its suspension show too plainly the necessity for just such a publication as it pretends to be.” "Pretends"-what an unhappy word for the editor-manager to use! But if you want to know the real reason why the dead has been quickened into life, it is "just because" "there is going to be some lively

work hereabouts between now and the 1913 meeting of the American Institute of Homœopathy; Denver is going to make a bid for this gathering, and you know Denver generally gets what it goes after."

The North American congratulates its contemporary upon securing the financial assistance of the Chamber of Commerce, the Business Men's Club, or whatever organization wants to bring the Institute to Denver in 1913.-North American Journal of Homoeopathy.

Most of the homeopathic medical journals, in their January numbers, noted with regret and sorrow the announcement that appeared in the December number of THE CRITIQUE, to the effect that that periodical ceased its publication at the end of the year. It was therefore with some surprise that we received the January number of this journal. We looked with much interest at its rehabilitation. It is stated by the editor, Dr. J. W. Mastin, to be on account of the many expressions of good will and esteem that the former had brought forth. He also states that the journal will continue during the present year at least.

Dr. J. W. Anderson, who has for years filled the position of business manager, retires, leaving the entire field to Dr. Mastin.

In the past we had always anticipated the appearance of each monthly number, and have read it with benefit. While not always agreeing with the sentiments brought forward in the paper or at times by the editor, we have learned to respect him as being a fearless and carnest upholder of that which he believes to be right and just. As such, therefore, we are glad that he continues with us in the field. May his efforts be crowned with success!The New England Medical Gazette.

On January 30th the Denver First New Church Society, of which he has been president for the past thirty-five years, paid a glowing tribute to Dr. B. A. Wheeler, prominent homeopathic physician of this city. It was the occasion of his sever.tieth birthday. About one hundred people were present, and the following program bears testimony to the thorough good feeling which prevailed:

In our last issue we chronicled the demise of the Denver CRITIQUE, it having been announced in the December issue of that periodical that it was to appear no more forever. It has been born again, and we welcome it back. Its editor will know at least how we took its death. We said nothing but good of the dead, as it is our custom, and we think nothing but good of the living. The new CRITIQUE, which is the counterpart of the old in style, has two demands with which we heartily agree. One of these we mentioned in our January issue. It demands that there be a

separate examining board for the homeopathic school in every state of the Union, and it demands the resignation of any officer in any homeopathic organization in Colorado who may have affiliated with the A. M. A. or any of its auxiliary associations. This demand ought to be heard all over the country. We have men in the American Institute on bureaus and committees, we have men holding professorships in our colleges, and we have men prominent in state organizations all over the country who are members of the A. M. A., and the sooner we get rid of them the sooner we can show the world that we are making progress. They are the kind of men we do not need in our school, and the A. M. A. is welcome to them. We shall certainly uphold THE CRITIQUE in these demands.-Medical Century.

DENVER HOMEOPATHIC SOCIETY.

The sixth regular meeting of the Denver Homeopathic Medical Society was held at the Shirley Hotel on Friday evening, February 16th. The attendance was good, and the interest manifested was more earnest than it has been in the past.

If all the members would attend regularly and bury their little petty differences of opinions, a strong political body could be organized, which would be a factor in giving us almost anything we asked for.

Dr. Clinton Enos talked for over one hour, in his modest, pleasing and also instructive manner, on "Endo-Metritis and Cellulitis," and the members were well repaid for their attention.

The next meeting will be held on the third Friday in March at the same place, and Dr. D. A. Strickler will entertain. As he is a past

master of the art, a large attendance may be assured.

Hangers' Local Union No. 79.

Whereas. The American Medical Association is cure the enactment of a law by the Congress of the viding for the establishment of a department of the

endeavoring to seUnited States, proGovernment to be

known as the Department of Public Health, the head of which department will be a cabinet officer; and,

Whereas, The establishment of such a department would ultimately deprive us of the freedom we now enjoy-to employ any system of healing we choose, and would compel us to submit to the dictation of a Government doctor; and,

Whereas, The National League for Medical Freedom has been organized for the purpose of protecting the people in one of their most sacred rights the right of every man to select the practitioner of his choice in the hour of sickness; and,

Whereas, The National League for Medical Freedom will seek, through publicity and education, to unmask and oppose any legislation which endeavors to put into power any one system of healing and use the Government prestige, money and machinery to enforce its theories and opinions upon citizens who believe in other forms of healing; now, therefore, be it hereby

RESOLVED, That we, the members of Journeymen Barbers' International Union, Local No. 205, of Denver, Colo., do announce ourselves as opposed to the establishment by the Government of the United States of a Department of Public Health, and do further announce ourselves as in sympathy with the National League for Medical Freedom in its efforts to prevent the establishment of such a department.

OPEN LETTER TO DENVER'S SCHOOL BOARD.

Denver, Colo., February 1, 1912. TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD OF SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, DENVER, COLO.

Gentlemen: On January 6th we addressed a letter to your president, in which we asked that you set a date when a committee from this League might meet with the Board to discuss matters of interest to the public. Our letter not having been answered, we venture to again address you, and as we believe the matters involved are of general interest, we are submitting this in the form of an open letter, copies of which will be furnished to the daily press.

We desire to formally protest to the Board against the manner in which the provisions of the statute for the physical examination of
