C. H. Dildine, Chairman
Governor Vetoes Osteopathy Bill.
Does Not Boliove in the Exclusion ol Medi
cine and Surgery.
Among the measures vetoed last
week by Governor Pennypacker was
the bill which was designed to put
osteopaths on the level with the
other schools of medicine. Its pro
visions included a regulation of the
practice ot and licensing of osteo
paths in Pennsylvania and the es
tablishment of a board of examiners
representing the State Osteopathic
association, before whom all candi
dates must pass before legally be
ginning the practice of the profes
sion.
The governor's main objection is
on tne ground that ' there is noth
ing in the bill to indicate what con
stitutes the science of osteopathy
and an effort to solve the query by
an examination of the printed lit
erature of the science is not very
successtul "
Continuine. he savs: "That an
proval of this bill would appear to
give tnc authority of the state to a
system of practice in the healinc art
which excludes the use of medicine
and the use of surgery. Why should
there be an attempt so to confine
the operation of the mind? If both
drugs and surgery are useless they
may De rejected, but if they should
at times be found to be beneficial
why should any science for the en
forcement of a theory make the
effort to exclude their use? Should
the bill become a law licenses would
be issued by the State Board of Os
teopathic Examiners and not by the
Medical Council of Pennsylvania,
which would be an anomaly in our
legislation upon the subject."

Dissenting
The Suweme Court on Mnnrlau
with two lUStices dissenting, affirm.
ed the validity of the Pennsylvania

in the session of 1903. The de

Reform Association.
The latter organization hmncrtir
the law to the attention of the courts
on the eround that the cronninir

Bills Now State Law
Three measures of special interest
to corporations and manufactures,
as well as to organized labor in Penn
sylvania, were signed this week by
Governor Pennypacker. They are
a bill creating a state department of
police; the uarner bill, to abolish
child labor in the anthracite coal
mines, and Delaney bill, to abolish
child labor in factories and work
shops.
The department of police bill
carries an appropriation of 452,000,
and is in line with governor's re
commendation to the legislature.
The bill creates the office ot state
superintendent of police, who will
have under him four platoons of 50
men each. Each platoon will have
a captain, lieutenant and five, ser
geants, to do duty in any part cf
the state.
The Garner bill was drafted at
the request of John Mitchel, presi
dent of the United Mine Workers,
and prohibits the emplyment of
children under 14 years of age
arouud the outside of the coal mines,
and under 16 years of age on the
inside of such mines, as well as
provides that all employees under
21 must read and write.
The Delaney bill is a compromise
on the measures introduced at the
request of the Pennsylvania Child
Labor Committee and kindred or
ganizations. It raises the ace limit
of children employed in factories
from 13 to 14 years. It fixes ten
hours as a legal day's work and
authorizes school authorities to
issue employment certificates.
