d
the sentiment that prevailed at this
meeting. They said that aside from
the Governors attitude toward the
physicians and his antagonism toward
the Medical Practice Bill, they re.
gretted exceedingly that he, as Cover
nor, would indulge in the language he
did at public hearing, and that if he
had any personal grievance against
DR.. Halsey it should have been gone
oyer with DR.. Halsey on some other
occasion and not dealt with by him
as Governor on a public occasion of
that sort.
There was a general concensus of
opinion that the Governor lost his
head and did not exercise that control
of the tongue that would have been
highly becoming on the part of the
chief executive of the State of New
Jersey.
AT special meeting of the Morris
County Medical society held at Nor
ristown, New Jersey, April twenty
first, 1910, the following resolutions
were adopted:
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Morris
County Medical society hereby declares
its high appreciation of the services
rendered by DR.. Luther M. Halsey,
who, in behalf of the interests of the
public health of New Jersey, has
worked diligently to advance and main
tain the high standard Of professional
requirements and conduct of the ply
sicians of the state, and
BE IT RESOLVED, That this society
has firm confidence ia DR.. Halsey S
continuous integrity and reliability in
presenting as chairman of the LegiSla-
tive committee Of the State Medical
society the interests Of the states
three thousand physicians, the well
fare OF the public and safeguarding by
proper statutory regulations the pro-
fessional conduct of those engaged in
treating the sick, and
BE IT RESOLVED, That we as COM
ponent society of the State Medical
society condemn as being undignifed,
unbecoming and unwarranted, the in
suit given TO DR.. Halsey and the med
ical men Of New Jersey by the Cover
nor at a recent hearing held at the
State House, Trenton, New Jersey,
and
BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED, That
these resolutions be spread upon the
minutes Of this society and that copies
of the same be sent to DR.. Luther M.
Halsey, the journal of the Medical
Society of New Jersey, Governor John
Franklin Fort, and the press.

should imagine that one term as presi-

he should come out with a definite

CONGRESSMAN FOWLER AFTER
CANNON.


Representative Charles n. Fowler
the lone Republican iRsurgent ia Com
gress from New jersey, reopened the
fight on Caunonism Thursday by In
producing in the House a resolution
proposing that the remaining power
left In the Speakers hands be taken
from him in the next session Of Com
gress by tie creation Of q committee
on committees.
The Fowler resolution likes May 2
as the date Of the next battle against
Gannonism, by providing that the
resolution itself shall be considered on
that day. The main features Of Mr..
Fowler's proposition for what he de-
scribes as final reforms il the rules
are:
Committees, now named by the
Speaker, to be named b. a majority
committee on comm tees and a min
GRITTY committee on committees. The
country TO be diyided, for the purpose,
into seven districts, and the members
il each district. to elect the member
of the committee on committees from
that district.
Both the majority and minority
committees on committees to elect
their chairmen.
All committees, after the expiration
of the present Congress, to be named
by the committee on committees, and
each committee SO named to elect its
own chairman.
In explanation and support Of his
resolution Mr.. Fowler said:
The House Of Representatives
should now take the final step to in
sure its absolute freedom.
1.-THE Capitalization in the Speaker
Of the right to appoint committees
and to control legislation through the
Committee on Rules and the power of
recognition made him the most perva-
sive and autocratic influence in Amer
lean political life.
