Indefinite replies.
Governor Herrick Has Chance
Out of this sort Of back ground the
lest surmise is that Ex-Governor
Myron L. Herrick of Ohio has or has
had the best chance of being the next
ambassador to France, Mr.. Herrick
has already held this office. He is not
in very good health, and it would be
easy to appreciate that the assign
lent might not appeal TO him.
After Mr.. Rerrick, the men who are
believed to have the most pressing in
dorsements are General Pershing and
Colonel William Hayward, New
York man who made one of the most
picturesque records of the war as tho
head of a negro regiment which he
raised personally, which fought with
the French apart from the Americans
and which as a generous recognition
on the part of the French, was the
first American regiment to reach the
Rhine in the marche triomphale af-
ter the armistice.
The universally expected probability
that Colonel George Harvey will be
named as ambassador to Great Britain
has excited an opposition which is
large in quantity but somewhat tim
orous in quality. Tho files OF Harvey's
Weekly are being systematically
searched for passages that might rem

May Affect Prescriptions.


opinion
Mny Affect Prescriptions.
The opinion appeared ambiguous in
some respects, officials said. and as a
result they could not determine wheth-
er the government had power to limit
prescriptions physician may write.
except THAT the law specifies no more
than pint per person in ten days.
Mr.. Palmer declared he believed 1t
physician 'unfettered by government
control. yet he thought regulations
might properly restrict the amount
sold on prescription"
Mr.. Palmer called attention to pro-
visions of law. which apparently had
left the physician to act on his argu-
ment- He suggested then than when
physician abused the privilege he
could be dealt with criminally, but
added that in no case should tho judg-
ment of the physician be supplanted
by that OF enforcement officials.
Replying to the question as to
whether the government could restrict
permits to manufacture, sell or pro-
scribe. Mr.. Palmer explained that the
Nolstead act had limited only classes
to which permits could be issued and
had permitted no discrimination be-
tween persons within those classes. He
said the Withholding of permits could
not be done legally even though off
cials were convinced fewer permits
would suffice in any given state or
city.
Mr.. Palmer advised officials that
they had ample authority to write
such regulations as they believe nc
cessary to make certain enforcement
of the law. Dry advocates stressed
this statement. declaring that by Il
means would he found which would
