THE PHARMACY BILL.

Mr.. King OF Albany county has in
troduced a bill, by the request of the
state board Of pharmacy, which makes
the qualifications Of persons to be Ii
censed to practice pharmacy consider
ably more stringent. If this bill be-
comes n law, a young man desiring to
pass the examination must have had
an English education equal to a train
ing of at least a ~three-year academic or
high school course and have had four
consecutive years of practical expert
ence In drug stores wherein the pre-
scriptions OF medical practitioners are
compounded. 1t is provided, however,
that the commissioners of pharmacy
may grant certificates Of registration
without further examination to gradu.
ates in pharmacy who have obtained
a diploma from such colleges and
schools OF pharmacy as shall be ap.
proved by the said commission
At first blush, 1t would appear that
seven years Of training in a high
school and a drug store was unwarrant-
ed In its severity. OF course those
WHO nave llNthhNo INV "SNAN W -
mitted TO continue 10 practice, but
those who are to be examined in future
would find the law onerous indeed. We
honestly believe that II such a law
had been in force at the time of the adj
mission of the pharmacists now prac-
ticing in Wyoming, three-fourths OF
them would have been prevented from
engaging in the practice OF their call
ing. The new law not only doubles up
the time which a young man must de-
vote to practical work, but adds the
three-year academic course. No great
hardship has beef wrought by the
present law and considerable hardship
is likely to be brought about by the
proposed amendment.
There is another thing thai ought to
be taken into consideration by the
legislature in the consideration OF this
pharmacy measure. The law provides
that certain fees shall be collected and
held by the commission. Instead of be
ing held, they should be paid into the
treasury of the state and the commits
sion should ask the Legislature for an
DIoDIlhl W wv ~"
The fee system which is gradually
worming Itself into the laws of Wyo-
ming should be entirely done away
with. The salaries and the mileage and
per diem Of members Ut boards should
be fixed by statute and not by the
boards themselves. In the case of the
pharmacy commission he salary of the
secretary is fixed by the commission.
The state should have all these mat
ters in hand. Every dollar collected
by authority of the state should go in
to the state treasury and not n cent
should come out except by legislative
appropriation. Wyoming is not too old
to right the little wrongs that have
crept in during the early days of its
existence and this Legislature had just
as well start the ball rolling.

WHAT DO You THINK OF TH1s'

Occasionally when democrats get TO
fighting among themselves they speak
right out in meeting" The other day
in congress Senators Patterson and
Tillman were engaged in debate over
the ace question, when Patterson said
that both the people Of the south and
the democrats of the north had to bear
the odium and burden of such utter
ances as Tillman was won to make
Tillman retorted with one of his keen,
red-hot rebukes, as follows: 80 far
as my own party is concerned in the
north, it is such a shining example Of
ward politicians-dirty, low creatures
that / don't care If We never have
any OF that type to back us up"

Some of our leading fishermen are
clamoring for a law that will make
more definite and certain their rights
upon the streams Of the state. They
hold that II the state pays for fish
placed in the streams, the people of
the state ought to have the right to
catch them without being liable to ar,
rest as trespassers. They believe that
some law should be passed fixing the
rights OF the people in this respect SO
that all would know just what they
could and could not do. If the fish are
bought for the exclusive benefit of the
people who happen to own the land,
along the streams, all well and go0d
but II they are placed in the stream
for the benefit OF the entire people,

A Providence. R. l., man has just
died at the age OF 104 years. He took
an hour at each meal and drank whisky
after eating. If the old man had taken
the advice of breakfast food ad writ
ers and also cut out whisky there is no
telling how long he would have lived
His intemperance was probably the
cause OF his premature demise.

Word from Washington indicates
that Senator Smoot Is to retain his

has been impossible to fasten upon

the visit Of the committee was most sat
