We have had a medical lobby. and some OF

Where then will the scandal cease if the

but an investigation will clear the air.
The beginning OF the end of licensed cruelty

but the time will be we'll spent and the benign
result is certain II We faint not.
Listen to the words of the late Andrew Ora.
per, president of the State University and
Superintendent of Public Education in this
State In speaking of those who can practice
vivisecton without restriction, "The fact Ia
physicians have frequent opportunities and
often very considerable motives for reprehen.
sible practices The necessary secretiveness
of some Of their work sometimes harbors and
protects the meanest scoundrels.
Bad as this is. 1t is not the worst, for the pro-
fesson has come to be so large in number that
unity or predominance in the most self-evident
moral proposition seems impossible.
Are men and women women to be in the hands OF
fncompetents and <scoundrels. and those who
know more about it than others can know
perhaps are the only ones who can expose the
wrong. be justified in concealing it?
In any event society is justified in protecting
itself from all such Misrepresentation, and here
Is the first justification Of a non-partisan In.
vestigation, no matter how the doctors op-
pose it."
We ask the public to read the law we pro-
pose. If it Is defective, amend it; If 1t Is In
complete, strengthen it; but let US in some
way get at the truth.
Here Is the bill which will be again intro.
