THE ifEWS AND Or3EHVEIL SDDAYrEBHUAllY 23) 1 13 TQEHS TO 0 tlATJY LAWYERS CiCOKGIlESS? TLo French AcictnMy Hcs '- Vhila tn the Unitpd States jConnrcss TtcroaroFivo Doctors. l Dr. C A." L. Reed, of Cincinnati, who delivered an address at the recent sctsion of the Tr' -State Medical As sociation of- the ifcrolinas and Vir ginia in Charlotte, on "The Public Re lations of the 4 Medical Profession," Bald amg other things: civilised society consists of certain very different constituent groups. W have the industrial croup embraclnr the farmers, the miners and the man ufacturers ; we, have the mercantile group, consisting of those who buy, transport and sell the products of the mines and the farms, and : we have professional groups of the ministry, of the law and of medicine, the old est and most dignified; of them all. No one of these groups la Independent of all the other groups. Therefore, the relationship of this group represented here tonlght-i-this professional group this medical group to all the other groups is one I of Intimacy and abso- - lute dependence. ' This intimacy , and dependence Is reciprocal in character. Now, I hope to discuss with i you the evolution of those groups which seek to take an unfair advantage of the other groups, seizing some actual advantage for themselves, through of : ganizatlon or legislation, or by other neans,by a violation Of law, a Cer tain; position and status bf which all the , other groups must pay tribute to that particular group. ; Such a group becomes a bber group. . The evolution of these predatory groups has been . shown in . our own country, by the oil group, the rail . toad croup, the tobacco group. The 'census has recognized 140 major so- 1 clal groups in the United States. When a group becomes a robber group. It becomes the duty of all : the "other groups-to orTanlie for existence, and that Is what la going on here in this eouniry today. i , ; Now, It Is toparent at a glance that any. oneVof these constituent groups Ss capable of exerting an Important . Influence upon the social and upon the Kgal status and control of society In general. Any one of these groups Ii a suspect .! for the . occasion., and this being true. It become necessary that any constituent group of society hall sharo Its.' measure of influence in determining the character of legis lation which will ; affect not only Its own welfare 1 jt ; that of' society in general. I" trust that la a yery evident proposition. The importance of this subject' Is shown by the fact .that every war In history not actuated by . religious zeal or by the lust for land, has been primarily r and funda mentally a war between the constitu ent grpups : of ; aoci ty. The French Revoiutlori of 173 was a Tevolt xigajnst the French social conditions. . The great German revolution of 1849 was i a revolt ' against ruling 'groups. Our i own war was a revolt against the commercial groups of Oreat Bri tain.! ", Our great Civil War was a re volt jagalnst the existing cotton group. ! The war of Spain was primarily and fundamentally a war - against other - in3emnlty rCuba against the proprie tary; and governing j group of . Spain. Thus It has been throughout all hia- i toryj ; . I ; wish to cell your attention : to the fact that these groups are rep resented In varying degrees Hit , in marked quality In our various legis lative assemblies State and National. I have no doubt- that here in North Carolina0 (I did not stop to look up Uie statistics), there are comparative ly few physicians in .the Legislature. I fancy the same Is true In South ". Carolina and In Virginia I know that it is true In the majority of the 'Statca of- the Union. ; But take our National Legislaturetake the Con grfe?, and T7hat i3 the condition there? In the UptU-d States Congress there Is one lonesome preacher. There is one lonesome laborer! There is one r lonesome educator! There Is v one lonesome professional writer or "lit erateur," he sign hlmsel. .There are two civil engineers?.. there are. only " ikree railroad men; there ' aro five physicians one in the Senate and lour in the Jfouse. In the last Con. gress there we're three In the House : one, In the Senate. In the 68th Con gress there . was one in the House and one In the Senate. We have 21 farm- . rs out of these 477 members; ' we have 19 manufacturers; we have 12 , merchants, i bankers, and we have the very Interesting flgure0f 141 law yers out of a total membership of 477 lawyers engaged in making law! for lawyers!! And themost striking fea . tore of the National Congress now in , Washington is that that great, august body contains only 9 politicians! j f ; Now, gentlemen you may. ay that, -this is the way the public ought to be represented, that this Is the natural order of. things.. Well, there, are 12 farmers out of 477 members; and ' there are epmethlng over nineteen mil lions of people- in the agricultural v groups That Isn't a very Just propor tion. .There are about; eleven million In the manufacturing group I think they have 12 manufacturers there We have about 85,000 lawyers In the United States, and -out of that number they have the; proportion of 241 in that body but is that the right pro poiUon? We have a basis of com parison in a more highly involved community--a sister republic the Re public of France. The French Assem bly is a more representative body than ours. Ther have 750 members it Is more representative-; That body has , tme striking resemblance to ours it has one lone preacher.

We have 1 per cent physicians, they have 12 per coAL. What does all that mean? ; ; ; ,- i I , The most disinterested classes . in this country are the classes , least represented. In other words, they, are not there looking after their interests, and they are not there getting froni the legislative assemblies that breadth of view whljh ought to be represented In a legislative body, by which you would ; set laws equitable to all' the constituent groups of society. How does that apply? . ''. - '';'"- When, five years jago I Represented the American Medical Association be fore the National Congress! I was sur prised and chagrined to find the medi cal profession occupying Subordinate position. I did not! like if and I do not like it today. Now, jgentlemen, why is this true? Cast your eyes on the bureaus of the public health de partment. In the navy, In the army; take ? your eyes from there and yon will understand why jit Is the laws that discriminate against the health of this country are ' enacted because the medical profession is. not represented adequately upon the floor of Con sress. i Now let us take an example: The general staff of the United States army is made up of various branches of the service and his to consult with the War Department upon a!ll matters. The matter of the hygiene) of camps and the medical administration of the army is Included, i There was no de tail fronj ' the medical bureau upon the general staff and the general staff, realizing tliat it had to have this In formation, wore out the corridors in sending a messenger down to a cer tain general's, office p get the Infor mation, ' and the messenger carried back the news that corps was i not honored with a reprelsentatlon on the staff they were not! allowed to ask for representation they had to wait and ask. It so happened there was a free and independent medical profes sion outside of the service and It took it up with the general staff and asked for formal representation and it was turned down with a letter a jyard long, full of the politest elocution you ever heard The attention of the Secretary of War was called to the fact.. He saia: "is that so? is that corps not represented?, just consider that that has come before me," and the next day the order was issued detailing; a medical inember on the general staff, and he Is there now.; ".,' We havB Just gone through a very humiliating exhibition In the Navy Department, where the administration recognized the Importance and Justice of giving a man command under cir cumstances for which! he was held re sponsible tybut it was a most; remark able thing, how. the bold defenders bf the, country seemed toi be panIostrick en at losing some opportunity to get command ,. 6 a non-combatant i shin.

Gentlemen, that is the battle you are having to fight in Washing ton and you must look to your mem bership in Congress. If we had had anything lke . the representation the profession injoys In the French As sembly, we would have been treated differently by the Inside officer of the. House of Representatives. , We Went to Congress and asked to be heard upon bills that we were pushing, that It was the business of the American Medical Association to push, . and we went from committee room to com mittee room and insisted upoh being heard and thev would ask: it so very important? How long I will it take?' And when we said j twenty minutes, they asked:' f 'Can't you cut it down to ten 1". It wasn't a flatter ing reception. We went home and or ganized our committee, which consists of a member in each county In the United States, and when a t i matter came up aftr that, we went down to the counties and took our matter be fore the American Medical Associa tion, and let the doctors ride over the hills and valleys and talk about It and Is tho joy of the household, for without . it no happiness can be complete.
