THE PHARMACY LAW.


In a communication published here
with, Prof. a. B. ingalls, argues in favor
OF the recently passed pharmacy law
which. by its unfair terms, prevented
E r. Newman from securing a license
and drove him TO suicide.
AS to the necessity and propriety OF
a law properly regulating the sale OF
poisons and drugs, there can be no
question. The law should prohibit any
one but a competent pharmacist from
engaging in the dispensing of drugs.
New York State has such a law. a
random examination Of the statute of
Oregon, Missouri and Ohio shows prac-
ticaIly the same law On their books.
The Hawaiian law goes further than
Is necessary to secure competent men.
It sets up arbitrary standards, and, re-
gardIess of a mans knowledge and bill
ity. prohibits him from acting as a
pharmacist, unless he complies with
these standards. For example, he may
know all the ins and outs of the BUSH
ness. and pass any kind of an examina-
ton, but unless he is the graduate of a
college OF pharmacy, he is no more
eligible under the Hawaiian law, h
is a japanese field laborer. This is
unreasonable and arbitrary. What is
needed. and all that is needed. is to
make sure hat a druggist knows his
business. Where ne learned it is of no
consequence.
Again, If he is a l~icensee Of another
state, that does not weigh at all in con-
sidering his qualifications. His previous
license can only be considered in Ha-
wall. IL the State previously licensing
him, reciprocates and recognizes the
licenses issued in Hawaii. This also is
unreasonable and arbitrary. If John
Smith has been licensed as a druggist
in New York, and that is ground under
any circumstance for licensing him in
Hawaii, why should he be refused a IL
cense in Hawaii. because New York :
may refuse to license William Jones, :
whom Smith is not responsible for, and d.
who may be an ignoramus. All that we =.
are interested in is to know if John
SOON NN5SS~ ne lS' ne s
should be allowed to practice his profess :,
sion in Hawaii. regardless of the treat
ment which William Jones receives in :
New York. .,
These and other similar provisions -,
have been concocted by the NATIONAL -
Pharmacy Association, for the purpose =
IF limiting competition. We understand :.
hat they recommend for adoption a bill =
containing these provisions among -
others. So far as we are informed, =,
however, no State has adopted them -
They never should have been adopted .
Hawaii, and the first legislature ;,
should repeal them in the interest of :.
public and of fair play. :,

Rev. and Mrs. w. A..Clarke Burnt Out

AT about two o'clock on last Wednes-
day, the homs of Rev. and Mrs. w
A. Clarke in Brooklyn was discovered
to be on fire. A chimney caught on
fire, the roof caught from that, and in
a short while the entire roof was in
flames. Every effort was made TO
check the fire by the occupants and
neighbors, but before the fire COM
pany could reach the house the fire
was beyond control and the entire
building was burned. It was a large
old fashioned house which had been
r~emodelled in recent years and was in
sured for only twenty-five hundred
dollars, which leaves q considerable
loss. The furniture was largely saved.
