As correspondent elsewhere shows,
there osn be no more legally qualified
physicians In Delaware until the Medical
Registration act shall be repealed.
Section of such act requires every ply
sician of the State to register within 80
days after its passage, and that any
person hereafter practioing medicine shall
register as above. The act WAS passed
April 10Th, and after July 10th, no one
can register previous to that date. Where
were the lawyers of the Legislature when
| this bill became law 7 Where were the
| members with good hard common sense
We do not believe that the Legislature or
any Of the numerous physicians who
were members Of that body wished to
create monopoly for physicians now
| practicing +; they probably voted for the
bill because they knew no better. How
ever, it may be some consolation to our
wise law givers to know that their end is
not yet, as the fool-killer is now busy in
Michigan, where a Legislature recently
passed medical act very much like the
one we have mentioned. Whether Miohi.
gan borrowed the idea from Delaware, or
Delaware of Michigan, or both from a
third party, is not known. However, the
law will probably not be enforced, and
thus help to weaken the slight respect
felt for new laws In this State. Feninssia,
