icy Denison suppressed the name of the

of the complaint. which follow:

the requirements to practice dentistry
in California? I am graduate from
a recognized dental college and am
licensed to practice in this state. 1
have been praeticing for Is years and
wish TO make my future home in Oak
land, but l have understood that east
ern dentists are not wanted and di-
plornas from the best colleges in the
United States are not recognized in
California. but that instead applicants
are required to pass an arbitrary ex-
animation, and it is almost impossible
to get license. Some of the foremost
dentists in the profession have returned
after moving to California, having
been denied licenses.
Il am a graduate of the Washington
university at st. Louis, Mo. Will 1 be
eligible and can 1 get license on pres
entation of my diploma to the board?
If we are not wanted 1 would not care
to go to the expense of moving TO

coming, and the moving of three other
families to Oakland, will be postponed

ROOSEVELT CALLED
FOOL and MEDDLER
FIugei OF Stanford Is Strongest
in Adverse Criticism of
Guild Hall Speech
Especial Dispatch 10 The CalIl

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. June 1s.-
The Roosevelt Guild hall speech is
still the bone of contention among the
professors on the campus and in Pa1o
Alto. After extensive interviews with
25 of the more representative instruct
ors in this vicinity. the result is rather
interesting.
The opinions are pretty well divided
as to the propriety of the former pres
ident speaking upon the forbidden
Egyptian question, but. in general, the
most of the pedagogues were strong
supporters of RooseveIt's policies.
Professor FIugel. head of the PHI
lology department, said: II think Roose-
Welt made a fool of himself in the eyes
of the world. He proved himself to
be meddler. He is too free with ad-
vice that he will not take himself
Professor Krehbiel. associate pro-
fessor of the history department, said1
Roosevelt is ahead of the times. He
holds a conception of humanity and
not of individual nations, which IS the
prevalent measure
Professor Ware, a former member OF
the history department. who now leaves
for Wisconsin university, said: "Roose-
velt's speech was entirely uncalled for.
He would much better have played the
part of the interested spectator than to
have criticised England's policies
Professor Griffin, head of the Ger-
man department, said: while the CEN
sure of a host by guest Is unusuaI
and is not in accordance with the rules
of polite society. Roosevelt's address
was in perfect accord with his way OF
doing things"
Professor Cannon, assistant profess
sor of the history department., said;
However strongly we admire ROOse-
welt, we are compelled to admit that
as an American from official circles he
grossly violated the proprieties of the
occasion in his speech at Guild hall"
