he VETOED A GOOD MANY

Refused to Sign Medical Inspection
Act, and to Pass This BIZ Over His
Veto VIII Probably be FIRST Busi-
ness to be Taken Up By House
When Legislature Meets To-day.
The Columbia correspondent OF the
Augusta Chronicle says the South
recalled in special session last
night, and probably one OF the first
things the House will have to decide
during the recess session is whether
or not the act providing for medicai
INSPECTION of children in the pubic
schools by a physician empioyed ny
the schools boards OF trustees IS 70
become a law the veto OF the gov
ernor to the contrary notwiihst2no-
ing." The act with Gov. blease $
veto message was returned TO the
House last Saturday night ana re-
ferred to the committee on medical
affairs which is expected to report
soon after the House reconVenes.
The medical inspection act was
considered by many a decided for
ward step. 1t was drawn with a View
70 protecting the health Of children
in South Carolira's S schools, helping
the boys and girls to acquire sound
mind in a sound body. Many OF the
ailments to which children are espec-
tally subject, such as adenoids. are
recognized by physicians as an I'M
pe6iment to their mental, as well as
physical, development.
II a child suffers from such all
nlents, the school physician is to re-
port the case to its parents or guar
dian. Medical inspection OF school,
children had the hearty endorsement
Of South Carolina Federation OF Wo-
mems clubs and the South Carolina
Medical Association. Medical inspec-
ton has been tried with success II
the public schools Of Spartan ours
and Seneca.
In veto message, Governor Blease
had certain faults to find with the
construction Of the bin which he
claimed was indefinite as to its pro-
vision allowing the school board tc
employ physicians. The remainder
Of the veto message was democratic
appeal to the prejudices, and 1t Is
safe, even at this early date 10 pre-,
dict that, if Governor Blease IS again
2 candidate for the Office he now
holds in the primary next summer
he will rehash part of this same
medical inspection veto message into
Campaign thunder"
And. in this connection, a casOal
reading Of the - messages, special
and veto. the governor has sent tc
the general assembly already (anc
the end is not YETI reveals the fact
that the majority OF them readily
lend themselves to conversion into
demagogic harangues. 1t is practi'
cally certain that Candidate Blease
will infict resumes Of his specific
messages to the general assent moiS
upon the voters of South Caroline
next summer.
OF course. the House has eNpunged
the vilest, of these special messages
the one which accompanied the We
toeo libel act, from its record, hui
even this will probably not prevent
it being used on the stump by the
present governor Of the state OF Souta
Carolina when he goes before the
people TO ask them for Office again
on his record
During the recess from last Sat
urday night until next "Wednesday
night, the exodus Of members of the
Legislature from Columbia has been
very general FOR the reason that SC
many OF them had planned their bus
mess affairs so as to get him after
Saturday when the session should
have ended had not the necessity for
2 recess arisen.
The appropriation bill will prob
ably be reported back to the House
and Senate by the committee OF free
conference Wednesday night. The
members of the committee, upon
whom rsts the important task OF cor
relating the differences OF the House
and Senate on the way the states
money shall be spent during 1912,
are: Senators, ". L. MaulGin, ?. L.
Hardin. ]. W. NcCowl and Eepresen-
tatives, L. J. Browning, T. J. Kirk
land and 2. u. Cry.
