Opticians Worrying Over Operation Of
the New Law

Opticians Worrying Over Operation Of
the New Law.
Emporia, April 17.-Opticians in this city
are mucn agitated over a call for a first
annual meeting Of the Kansas Association
of Opticians. to be held in Topeka, May
!. Accompanying the call is a copy Of
the constitution and bylaws Of the asso-
citation, organized January Z. 1901. with
the following officers: President, A. NJ
Edison, Topeka; first vice president, o.
o. Osborne. Wichita; second vice presi-
dent. V. f. Anderson. Snokomo; .secre-
taryA J. E. Littlefeld, Topeka; treasurer,
w. ]. Lewis. Toueka-
The circular asserts that the new medi-
sAa law passed by the last legislature
viii wipe out the business Of all opticians
unless they are graduates of an optical
college; have studied the anatomy of the
eye and contiguous parts. human physio-
logy and natural philosophy under a com
petent teacher for six months, and are
able to pass an examination such it may
please a probably hostile medical board
to PROFOUND.
1t also asserts that II, after September
l, 1901, the receiver of the circular letter
fits single pair OF glasses without TAX
ing the examination prepared by the al
legged hostile medical board, he will be
liable to a fine Of $500 and urges each to
join the association. membership fee
of & is asked to be at once forwarded to
the secretary.
The portion Of the medical law, House
bin No. 266. which it is asserted will work
all TINS woes for the dealers in optical
goods, is as follows: provided, any per-
son holding diploma issued by an op-
teal college and who has studied the an
atomy OF the eye and contiguous parts
for at least six months under a compe-
tent teacher. and who shall pass an ex-
animation satisfactory to the State Board
OF Medical Registration and Examination.
shall be eligible TO register as an optician
of doctor Of optics, and shall be otherwise
governed by this act so far as the same
is applicable
There are three or four jewelers. in this
city who have taken courses in optical
colleges, and who hold diplomas. Not
one of them, however. have studied the
anatomy of the eye. except so far as has
been considered necessary 10 fit glasses.
None of them profess or attempt to treat
eyes in a medical sense, but send al such
cases to regular practicing physicians.
1t is probable that all the opticians in
Emporia will be come members Of the as
ISOLATION, and assist to fight the law
should it be held, as the circular asserts
it will, to confine fitting OF glasses TO the
medical fraternity alone.

THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.

| II ever Colorado needing a general
political change II needs 1t at the pres
ent time. There should be a general
cleaning out in state. county and city.
In this connection the following from
the Denver Republican deals square
ly with the question at Issue:
The Republicans OF Pueblo county
have by their harmonious action in
nominating their county ticket ne. an
example which shoulu be followed by
members OF the Republican party in
all other parts OF the state.
1T is the duty OF Republicans to
exert themselves to the utmost to de-
liver Colorado from Fusion misrule
this fall as far as that may be prac-
ticable in a county election. To win
this fall in a majority OF the coun-
ties and especially in those of large
population would be to pave the way
for the victory so much to be desired
next year in the state. Fusion mis-
management extends from the highest
to the lowest Office filed by member
of that conglomeration, and relative
ly. therefore. there Is as much reason
to defeat Fusionists in the county elec-
tions as there will be next year when
the issue will involve the state ad-
ministration and control of the legis-
lature
"The county government comes
close home to the people, touching
them in n hundred different ways in
their daily life. County officials have
control of public funds and their ex-
pendture. They determine the
amount of taxes to he collected from
each property owner. and to them also
is intrusted the enforcement of the
law. In some highly important par
ticulars the welfare and the happiness
of the people OF any community de-
pends more upon the state admins
tration, however much more imposing
he latter may seem to be. There may
be an irreproachable state administra-
ton, and yet with an incompetent set
of county officials local affairs may be
so badly conducted that serious In
reference with the welfare of the
| community may follow.
at is emphatically. therefore. the
duty OF the people In every county
| to get rid OF all Fusionists who may
be in office and at the same time pre-
vent other Fusionists from taking
| their places. 1t should never be for
gotten that it. is as true In county af-
fairs as in those of the state. that the
people get the kind of government
they order when they go to the polls
on election day. They cannot get
good government from incompetent
and unworthy men, and experience
| has told them in the clearest and most
convincing way that they can look
for nothing but bad government from
the election of Fusionists.
Merely putting incompetent Fusion
lists out of Office Will not suffice. The
people should go further and prevent
any more Fusionists from getting In.
There should he no more experiment
ing with officials OF that kind. A
builder cannot erect firm structure
with poor material, and the people will
prove themselves wise builders II this
fall they reject all the warped and
crooked material which constitutes
everything that the Fusionists have to
offer It Is for the people to say what
they will do. and according to their
choice this fall so will their county
governments be for the succeeding
two years"
