II had been suggested that the pres

| Governor and Council determine who
is to do the printing and how much
! is to be paid.
The first witness Of the afternoon
was c. F. Flynt Of the Kennebec Jour
nal Co. who stated that his company
is doing the legislative printing by
authority Of the contract made with
the Governor and Council
When asked why the company had
given no bond, as specified by the con-
tract, he said the committee Of the coun-
Gil at the time the contract was signed
when asked as to the amount Of a bond
that would be satisfactory 10 them STAT
ed that they would let him know, and
then had never taken il up with him,
and he had forgotten that the bond was
lacking, and ne assured the Governor
and Council that the Kennebec journal
Co. Were ready to furnish a bond when
The Governor and Council should desig-
nate the amount satisfactory.
He WAS asked how he construed article
, Of the contract, which is as follows:

recognition Of them as physicians. On
their side the opposition to It was that
they could not secure a fair treatment.
Maine already had q board OF exam
liners in dentistry, in medicine. for
veterinaries and there was now a bill
for the registration Of nurses. This
cid not mean that 1t would prevent
any woman from acting as a nurse.
but that il prevented all except trained
nurses advertising as such.
Carroll y. Perkins Of WatervIle,
who appeared IN opposition, said that
opposition did not come alone from
the regular school Of physicians, but
from the general public. but the pub
lie did not take the trouble to appear
ri these hearings in opposition.
1t seemed TO him that he most dan
gerous WORD in the bill was major"
There was just as much danger Of blood
poisoning in cutting OF a finger as in
arnpuratipg q leg. There was no fixed
line between major and minor surgery.
The medical profession had no obiec-
ton TO the osteopaths practicing their
own line of treatment, but when they
go beyond that and want to do more
il was felt they should pass the same
examination as members Of the regular
schools II seemed to him that the
present medical examination and regis
tration law could be amended SO that
the osteopaths could register under
it.
An argument in favor of the bill was
that il would shut out quacks Appar-
entity there were none here at this time,
for the bill provided for the registration
o. all practitioners Of the present. II

Of their coming later,

President Jersey of the Senate was
asked to come into the chamber GOV
Curtis asked him if he knew any reason
why the legislative printing should have
been delayed. Senator Hersey respond
ed that there never had been any rea-
son in his mind why the printing should
be delayed.
When asked his advice in the matter
Senator Hersey said il would be his ad-
vice not to have the Governor and Coun-
Gil interfere in the legislative printing
When further questioned about his inter
pretation OF the law. President Hersey
said il was not his duty to give law 10
this body. which had an attorney gen.
eral to advise II in the law. He added
that il was not for the president Of the
Senate TO say what should be done, but
that in his opinion the Legislature should
attend TO its printing and the Governor
and Council attend to their matters.
President Hersey was evidently much
perturbed at the situation. and bent upon
the Legislatures standing out for its
rights.
