Yesterday mornings mail brought to
Secretary Bryant rather remarkable
document 1t was house bill rs, ''anthor-
izing" the state board of pharmacy TO al
low one j. George Deter. OF Oak Hill,
Clay county, Kansas, TO play the part OF
druggist. This was introduced by Stew
artsOn, the representative from that coun-
ty. 1t was Immediately sized up as one
OF tie many local bills that was first rail-
roaded through the house and extended
the same courtesy in the senate 4 note
accompanying the recent effort Of the leg
stating it had passed both branch
es of the legislature and now awaits the
breath of life as impaired by the governors
broad faced quill.
The secretary was somewhat stirred up
by the epistle and denounced it as an out
rage on the people to have the legislature
turn a man loose mixing medicine who
evidently knew nothing of his business or
h. W luld not have asked his represen-
tatve to secure for him such distinction.
Governor Humphrey was wired pointer
on the matter with the hopeit would reach
him before he had placed his signature at
the bottom of the bill. In case the bill
has become law it seemed TO be the gem
eral opinion of the board that they would
not give the Oak Hill gentleman the nee
essary papers to be drueg st without
some very urgent reasons lney implied
that the bill meant for them to
DO that sort of thing but
the wording is such they are inclined to
think they can refuse, witt t being re-
duced to an embarrassing situation.
During the last month the board has
prosecuted thirty-six fellows in the state
who have been acting the part of the
druggist without having passed the re-
quired examination. Four of this num-
Der, as as known, belong to his city. Mr.
Bryant said yesterday that there were quite
a number in the state who are doing bust
ness Illegally, and the board had decided |
to make an extra effort to bring all to JUS |
general opinion of the board /
hat the people of the state /
are deserving of some protection (
N this line, and the same shall be given as |
early as possible. As rule IN the exami- (
nations abont forty per cent. Of the appli- /
ANTS are successful The list of questions /
.h,s time are said to be a little more diff |
,ult than that of any previous examina- /
ion. During the day there Were one or /
.wo moves casting a suspicion of wanting /
o monkey" but the quick eye OF the .
member watching that vicinity was able /
o find 1t out. I
1t Will probable take the board two days F..
% examine the manuscripts. /
