Quo Vadis?
PIE time will soon come when every citizen of this country
will have to choose between UPHOLDING the now liquor
laws, or VIOLATING them.
It seems scarcely necessary to add, that all good citizens
should uphold them.
If they don't.-if the now liquor dispensation is not backed ""am pr'g " m,a-
up by the people by public opinion, enforcement of the new rkcui.ar .uf.dicine has long had a code.

as the first.
TEMPTATIONS to violate the new liquor laws will be strong j
and numerous. This will be particularly true at the outset. '
For government reports show that there are only 1,000,000
gallons of good whiskey in the United States today. That is
whiskey bonded and properly aged.
To tho uninformed that may seem a goodly supply. But it
isn't. According to Mr. McBride, former prohibition adminis
trator, the American people during the last year of prohibition
consumed 70,000,000 gallons.
WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT f .
Disregarding the many taxes, federal, state and local, the
price of GOOD whiskey is bound to be high, for a long time to
come, because there will be a big demand for it, and a small
supply. Because of the taxes, LEGAL blended whiskey, and
synthctio whiskey (artificially aged by electrical treatment
under pressure) will not be, cheap.
SO this is where the bootlegger and moonshiner .will come in.
By illegal manufacture and evasion of ALL taxes, the moon
shiner can put his squirrel concoction on the market, at half the
prico of legal liquor, and still make a handsome profit.
Make no mistake. He will try to do it. And ho WILL do
it : UNLESS !
Tho authorities, federal, state and local, make it so hot for
him he CAN'T.
And how can they do thatf
Ultimately only in one way, by having the support of the
people by knowing that in putting the bootlegger and rrfoon
shiner in jail, confiscating his cars anil equipment, and taking
over his property, in short, keeping EVERLASTINGLY on his

It happens that
our trade has
had a written
code for genera'
tlons, whtl
members of oth
er profes s I o n s
have had only
vague precedent
or flexible prin
ciples to restrain
their ratty im
pulses.
The Codes of Medical Ethics is In
three chapters, the first chapter
dealing with "The Duties of Physic
ians to Their Patients." The sec
ond chapter defines the "Duties of
Physicians to Each Other and to
the Public at Large." ' The third
chapter discusses "The Duties of the
Profession to the Public."
Not that we all adhere faithfully
to the rules laid down In the Code
of Ethics at all times but some or
us live up to the principles therein
expounded, at least enough of the
time to keep the code a living doc
ument. There may be doctors who sin
cerely believe that my conduct of
this column places me beyond the
pale of ethical propriety or some1
thing like that, and yet I am fam
iliar enough with the Code of Med
ical Ethics as our medical fathers
wrote It. and confident enough In
the wisdom and Intent of the spirit
of the code, to believe that I could
-ucccefully defend myself against
any charge that might be brouRht
against me," provided the case were
tried before competent impartial
Judces.
The American Medical Association,
our national medical organization
the medical "trust." as various char
latans like to call it Is annlagous
to the American Bar association. It
n made up of the various stat
medical societies, which In turn are
made up of their component county
medical societies. Thus any doctor
of repute may become a member
of the county and state medical
society, and. lf he wishes, a fellow
of the A. M. A., the greatest medi
cal society in the world. The week
ly Journal of the A. M. A. is unques
tionably the finest medical publica
tion a doctor can rend to keep
ibreast of his profession.
The American Medlcnl association
wrote and adopted the Code ot Med
ical Ethics and has always fostered
and supported It. There are 90.000
members or fellows In the A. M. A.
In such a large volunteer army there
low ethical standards In rank and
file. .
A recent bit of front page scan
dal told how a medical society had
demanded that the A. M. A. cen
sure an editor In the employ of the
A. M. A. who (with practically no
experience In the art of medicine)
had the cheek to criticise the good
faith and skill of obstetricians In
this country. However, the yea-men
upon whom would devolve the dis
agreeable duty of warning the of
fender preferred to let the matter
ride. . The Irritation produced by
the employee's offense was not Just
that he had the audacity to hold
up a great body of physicians to
public ridicule or contempt, but
more particularly that , the fellow
takes advantage of his official posi
tion in that way.
It would have been bad enough
had I, for example, sold such an
article to a magazine or paper. But
an editor serves In what In some
respects !s a confidential position,
and Is well paid for his official editorial-
service. The ethics of his
conduct is scarcely within the spirit
of the code and surely uch crass
commercialism is beneath the dig
nity of the A. M. A.
