The report of the state board OF
pharmacy showed ESQ registered phar-
macists and thirty-six assistants, TO
be operating In tho state. The discus
sion of the report brought up the mat
ter Of the non.enforcement of law re-
latipg TO the sale of morphine ana
cocaine. In the discussion the name
of Chief OF Police Barlow OF Salt Lake
was frequently mentioned. some OF
the druggists being inclined to blame
him for the failure to secure prosecu-
tions there. An effort was made to
have the association indorse the o"-
ems bill for the creation OF a nation
al board OF health. but the resolution
was tabled.
Discussed Prohibition.
T. r. Kelly of Springville discuss
ed prohibition from the druggists
standpoint. and. among other things,
he said his experience had taught him
that men who are elected TO office on
a prohibition platform are the first
ones 10 try TO have the druggist break
the law. The view of the ultra-prohi-
bitionistS, he said, was that way
should be left for them to obtain what
LIQUOR they needed, but others must
obey the letter Of the law. He thought
the provision should be broad enough
to let all get what liquor might be
needed for legitimate purposes. and
favored making II felony 10 obtain
lquor for any Illegal purpose.
At the afternoon session. decls-
ion was reached 10 incorporate the as
