does he is very much mistaken, for if they
were they would not compel the boy to
serve them from five to ten or more years
as helpers before he can claim to be a

count for the notorious fact that about one
third of the bosses employ two apprentices

only used to hand tools to the workman?
The journeymen are the true friends of the

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

The Welcoming Address.

Every one within sound of Gov. Carroll $
voice was in an appreciative mood when
the president general arose to repeat the
welcome which had met the guests at the
entrance. His sentences were all felicitouS,
but the society was particularly enthusii-
astic in applauding references to President
RooSeveltS happy addresses In the south
and the significance of Ambassador Cam
bon'S presence. The brief address of well
come came to a close with the toast to
Washington to which every one in the hall
responded by rising, emptying his glass
solemnly and singing America" with all
his might.
Mr.. Cabell assumed charge of the cere-
monies as soon as the guests had reseated
themselves. With their manifest approba-
ton, he traced the growth of the society
during the past nine years, accredited
most of this progress to the splendid or
ganization of the society, and concluded
with an earnest and hearty statement of
the Governors good qualities. Two men
walked up the middle of the hall as he
concluded and placed on rest huge sill
yer bowl. Mr.. Carroll arose to respond,
but what he intended to say was lost in a
whirl of music from the orchestra and a
roar of voices from the hall-"For he's a
jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny"
With remonstrances against taking prece-
dence over M. Cambon, Admiral Dewey and
General Miles, Mr.. Caldwell responded to
the sentiment. 1.-The south In the revolu-
ton The address was full of wit and
suggestion. At it's close he managed to

become a geographical and not political
section Of this nation. and 1 would suggest
few things which 1 believe will cause it
to approach more rapidly If we can mod
crate the summarity of our system Of pub
lie execution. and at the same time moder-
ate the cause for it, and If the north will
show little more philanthropy, 1 think
that day will be not far distant. I think
we have forgiven you for beating us in the
civil war more quickly and more COM
pletely than you have forgiven us for being
beaten. Another suggestion is that If the

our country, another speech similar to
it. there will be such a tide of good feeling

feeling Will be absolutely obliterated."

FRAMES AMENDMENT
Medical Society's Objections
to Pending Bill.
VIRUSES AND TOXINS
MEASURE TO REGULATE SALE
REGARDED AS DEFECTIVE.
Separation of Legislative and Execu-
tive Functions Which Will Be
Called Into Existence.

The District Commissioners received to-
day from the Medical Society a report by
its executive committee inviting attention
to bill pending in Congress to regulate
the sale of viruses, serums. toxins and
analogous products in the District of CO.
lumbia. to regulate interstate traffic in said
articles, and for other purposes Is. 1850 and
H. r. 1892.
The report of the committee is very in
teresting in view of recent discussions as
to the value of virus used for vaccination
and the danger of such use. The commit
tee says:
Although the preventive and curative
powers of viruses, serums, toxins, anti
toxins and analogous products, when prop
erly prepared, has long been established,
certain unfortunate accidents which have
resulted from their administration, notably
those which recently occurred in st. Louis,
Mo, have tended to discredit their use.
The extreme value of these preparations in
preventing and curing disease renders it of
prime Importance, therefore, that action be
taken to preserve the confidence of the
medical profession and of the community
generally in them.
Most, if not all, of the establishments
now engaged in the propagation of animal
products of this character are, it is be-
lieved, we'll equipped for that purpose, but
such products are propagated and sbld
without legal restriction Any kind of a
stable, a little technical skill and a fair
amount of nerve are all that is needed. As,
however, the greater part of the output of
these establishments is sold in states other
than those in which it is produced, and as
it is impracticable to insure the purity of
such materials otherwise than by the super
vision of their manufacture, individual
states are powerless to protect themselves
against impure and impotent materials. For
these reasons federal supervision is neces-
Sary.

Substitute Section.

with this end in view your committee
recommends that section 4 of the pending
bill, which provides for the PRONUNCIATION
of regulations by the Secretary of the
Treasury on the recommendation of the su-
pervising surgeon general of the marine
hospital service be stricken out and the
following inserted in its place:
Section 4. That the surgeon general of
the army, the surgeon general of the navy
the supervising surgeon general of the ma
rine hospital service, the chief of the bu-
reau OF animal industry of the Department
of Agriculture and the health officer of the

by constituted a board with authority
subject to the approval of the Secretary of

Tor the maintenance of establishments for
the propagation of viruseS, serums, toxins,
anti-toxins and analogous products appli-
cable to the prevention and cure of dis
eases of man, intended for sale in the Dis
trict of Columbia, or to be sent, carried or
brought for sale from any state, territory
or the District of Columbia into any other
state, territory or the District of Columbia
or from the United States into any foreign
| country, or from any foreign country into
the United States: Provided, That all
licenses issued for the maintenance of es-
adjustments for the propagation and prep
aration in any foreign country of any virus,
serum, toxin, anti-toXin or product afore-
said, for sale, barter or exchange in the
United States, shall be issued upon condi-
ton that the licentiates will permit the in
Spection of The establishments where said
articles are propagated and prepared, In

and to detail for the discharge of such du-
ties such officers agents and employees of
the Treasury Department as may in his
judgment be necessary.

As to Purity of Stock.

'It is impossible to insure the purity of
the general stock offered for sale in COM
munity by testing an occasional vial or
package purchased in the open market. The
prevailing methods of sale are necessarily
such that the material vended today does
not come except by mere chance from the
same animal as did that sold yesterday or
as will that to be sold tomorrow. The ex-
animation of a certain portion of each lot
of material offered for sale by each propa-
gator, before allowing such stock to be
placed upon sale, would involve intolerable
interference with his business, and more
over the cost of maintaining an efficient
inspection service on such basis would be
prohibitive.
The only feasible method of insuring
the purity and strength of viruses serums,
toxins and analogous products known to
your committee is that which this bill seeks
to establish, viz, the regulation and super
vision by the federal government of all es-
Establishments engaged in the propagation
and sale of such products, so far as such
establishments are within it's jurisdiction.
1t seems, however, more in keeping with
the spirit of American institutions to sepa-
rate the legislative and the executive func-
tons which will be called into existence
by the passage of this bill, and, IN the pro-
mitigation of the proposed regulations, to
exclude the personal element as far as pos
Sible.

Enthusiastic Greeting Given Heroes.

The greatest demonstration of the even
ing occurred when the presiding officer in
troduced General Miles. the next speaker
after Mr.. Caldwell. The commanding gen.
erals bearing during the reception had ex-
cited the most favorable general comment.
and his services Of the west had been much
discussed during the course of the dinner.
When he arose, accordingly, it was before
an assemblage in whose eyes he was the
chief figure of the evening. Every one rose
and cheered, and half the men stood on
chairs.
General Miles address was one of the
most forceful and fluent talks OF the even
ing. He sketched hurriedly the history of
the army, speaking not so much in figures
as in broad terms, drawn-as he expressed
it-from his heart. At the close of this re-
view he turned toward NJ. Cambon and re-
ferred aptly to the help given Americans in
the field by the French nation. Another
roar of cheering and handclapping testified
to the favor with which the speech had
met, and General Miles took his seat the
subject of pronounced ovation.
Admiral Dewey occasioned almost as
much of an uproar. He was termed 1.-THE
Man of Action" from a do7en places in
while the cheers Of those at the tables
mingled with the strains Of 1.-THE Star
Spangied Banner" The admiral began his
address with a Jocular reference to Gen.
lie speaker like my gallant friend and illus
trious predecessor" he said, with a bow to-
ward Gen Miles, the commander Of the
army, 81 shall have to read my address
He then proceeded to read q cogent review
of the navy's career in early American
wars. Each war seemed to the speaker to
emphasize the splendid fighting qualities
of the American seaman. At the close of
his paper, in commenting or the war with
Spain, he exclaimed: To-day the navy is
composed of officers well fitted to sustain
their nations honor on the seas and of the
finest body Of seamen In the world"
