 William Lloyd Garrison said: T de- sire to enter an earnest protest against
 the bill under discussion. It is a vio-
 lation of individual rights and in the interest of special privileges Ostensi-
 ply an act to protect the community from malpractice, this is really meant to secure the monopoly of treating dis ease to those who bear the credentials of a recognized school. It is the in definite repetition of an attempt to limit admission to the temple of heal ing, since the first organized body of practitioners secured legal possession of it. far back in the dim twilight of civilization. The most cherished and important principles held by the medi- cal faculty to-day were once maligned and had to win recognition against the opposition of the established schools. In my own memory the homeopaths were prescribed and denounced as charlatans, just as those who practice mental healing now, but they con- QuereQ. TO narrow the service which offers itself for the healing of humanity by such devices as the one proposed Is to retard the growth of true science
 Our protest is not against education or skill, but for liberty, without which both must suffer. One has only to read the candid opinions of eminent physi- clans to realize how purely experiment tai is the science of medicine. The death of a patient under irregular treatment, although it may be demon strated that the greatest intelligence was used, is heralded abroad as some thing scandalOus, but if any regular physician were to make public the deaths coming to his knowledge from misapprehension of the disease or mis- taken remedies, the public might well be alarmed"
 Professor William James of Harvard University said: Were medicine a finished science, with all practitioners in agreement about methods of treat ment, bill to make it penal to treat a patient without having passed an eX- animation would be unObjectionable. But the present condition of medical

 In another issue the same paper said: ''The principal effect of the introduce tion of this bill has been to arouse and unite dissenterS, from the established church of medicine, and these dissent CTS, a mighty multitude, include many persons of recognized intelligence and ripe judgment"
 The Boston Daily Globe put the case in this fashion: "A notable victory has been won by the friends of pro- gress and personal freedom. After such strong demonstrations in favor of individual rights as those made at the recent hearings on the restriction issue certain pelated brethren ought to realize that the time for expecting the State to aid and abet certain schools of medicine rejecting all oth- CTS, has gone by forever"

"HE battle between Christian
 Scientists and certain physicians
 in Massachusetts is thus set forth
 by an Eastern paper: Last month
 there was introduced into the Massachusetts Legislature a bill which while purporting to be protective legis- Iation-that is, legislation ostensibly for the people. was in reality designed to protect certain medical practitioners. The proposed bill was entitled An Act to Regulate the Registration of Physi- clans and Surgeons" but the secretary of the Board of Registration announced through the press that it was especially intended to prevent Christian Scient- ists and other charlatans from practic ing"
 The section which was designed to ef- feet this purpose read as follows:
 Any person shall be regarded as practic-
 ing medicine within the meaning of this
 act who shall append to his name the let
 ters NJ. D., shall assume advertise
 title which shall show tend to show that
 the person assuming advertising the
 same is a practitioner of medicine or of
 any of the branches Of medicine; or who
 shall investigate or diagnose any physical
 or mental aiment defect of any per
 son, with view of affording relief, as com
 InonIy done by physicians or surgeons; or
 who shall prescribe treatment for per
 son for the purpose of curing any real
 supposed disease, whether by the use of drugs or by the application of any other agency or alleged method of cure; or to
 operate surgeon the cure
 lief of any wound, fracture bodily in
 jury or deformity, after having received therefor with the intent of receiving therefor either directly indirectly, any
 bonus, gift compensation
 During the three sessions which were held for the hearing of the bill, the hall was crowded with interested listeners, for many thOuohful people, who had no special interest in Christian Science saw in it an attack upon the personal liberty that is so cherished by a free dom-loving people, and able remon- strances outside the delegates from the Christian Science Church were volun- tarily made by prominent scholars, and Well-knoWn citizens.
 The Rev. B. Fay Mills thus protested: T am opposed to any law that will af- feet masseurs, Christian scientists etc, so long as they advertise themselves as such. I do not see how we are to make any real progress in any direction if we confine ourselves to those who have passed only through a certain course.

 To say that the members of the La dies Drill Corps are proficient in their marching maneuvers is to put it mild ly. They are perfect, and the precision with which they go through the various movements is enough to cause envy in the hearts of some of our militiamen.
 There is no movement too difficult for the members of the drill corps. As they have been practicing it is cus- tomary for the entire company to en- ter the drill room, at the command of the drill master, in marching order.

: COMPANIONS OF THE F. OF A

The visit of Grand Chief Companion Mrs. Emma Harrington of the Compan- ions of the Forest of America to Uni versity Circle at Berkeley was a pleasant one, and the members demonstrated their ability to perform the work by initiating a candidate.
 Last Wednesday the grand chief paid an official visit to Evening Star Circle in San Rafael. This council will endeayor to pick up, as some of the members an nounced that they would do all in their power to have at least seven members at the next meeting.
 Last Tuesday the executive council held its last meeting as such, and suggest ed a number of amendments to be submitted to the Grand Circle.
 An agreeable feature of the visit of the grand chief companion and other officers to Golden Era Circle last Thursday night was the willingness of the officers 10 he instructed in the initiatory work. The circle has ambitious officers who want to appear as well as do those of other circles. During the evening there were a. number of addresses by the officers and visitors.
 Loyal Circle will be visited tomorrow night by the grand officers. The president of the convention of 1898, Mrs. Lizzie At wood, one of the most indefatigab ble work CTS for the order and the only past grand chief companion who has taken an active interest in the order after retiring from the highest office, together with the other officers of the convention, have completed
