GOVERNOR VETOES
OPTOMETRY BILL
Several Other Measures Fall to
Obtain Executive Approval.
Twelve Bills Signed.
ItAIUUSBtma, June B.-Oovcrnor
BrumbaURh today vetoed the optometry
bill nnd Ave others. The optometry bill
defined nnd related to the practice of
optometry In this State and created a
State Bureau of Optometrlcal Education
for the purposo of licensing optometrists.
The Governor vetoed a somewhat similar
bill early In the session and the bill acted
upon today contained amendments de
signed to overcome the objections to the
previous measure.
"This bill provides a penalty, but does
hot docs not authorize nnybody to make
prosecution," says the Governor In ox
ptalnlnjr his veto. "Its enforcement,
therefore, Is not provided for, and it
would not regulate the practice of optom
etry. In section 4 It requires a unani
mous voto of seven members to refuse
to grant a license. In the sentenco Im
mediately following four members aro
given power to grant n license This Is a
fatal contradiction. The Secretary
Treasurer, If chosen from the appointive
body, would receive a yearly sum In ex
cess of 3000. an unreasonable charge.
The atempt to maintain tho board by an
nnnual tax of l would Involve such an
expensivo nnd annoying servlco as to
practically defont the end sought. No
one Is designated to pass upon the pre
liminary education of nppllcnnts. The
last section of Section 6 assumes tho
validity of n law that was repealed four
yenrs ago. There would be nlso criti
cism In the limitation of advertising to
certnln newspnpers to tho exclusion of
others. These technical objections would
be considered In connection with the
general objections given In tho former
veto. The practice of optometry ought to
bo regulated In thlH Commonwealth, hut
not by creating In this Uncertain way a.
new nnd additional licensing body."
OTHER DILLS VETOED.
Tho Governor also vetoed tho follow
ing: Bill to amend act of May II, 1911, by
changing tho tenure of Inspectors of
weights and measures from good bo
havlor to a term of four years, becnuso
It "would malte theso otllccs part of tho
spoils of omcc," which he docs not' think
Vise.
Dili to repeal act of May 27, 1SU, relat
ing to tho election of county ticasurers
nnd predicated upon House bill No. 393,
and tho Governor, having vetoed tho lat
ter, vetoes also tho repealer.
Bill to amend act of Juno 3, 1311, by
limiting tho number of township com
missioners to be elected nt large, be
cause tho "present act Is more equit
able." Dill to give tho Lebanon Sanatorium
right to sue the State to recover a sum
due for treatment of a soldier during tho
encampment near there, on the ground
that the matter Is one for direct adjust
ment. Bill to exempt bequests or devises for
tho preservation of burial lots from tho
payment of Inheritance tax, because It
Is In violation of constitutional pro
visions. TWELVE BILLS SIGNED.
The Governor announced his approval
of 12 bills, the most Important of which
provides that Stnto employes Bhall bo
paid semimonthly on tho 1st and 15th
of each month.
Another provides that the Industrial
Board of the Department of Labor may
subdivide the one day of rest In seven
Into two half days under the terms of
the women's employment act of 1915.
This bill had the support of certain In
dustrial Interests In which It was found
difficult In providing for one continuous
full clay of rest In seven.
The other bills approved follow:
Providing for the dlschnrge of persons
arrested or held In process Issued on a
Judgment obtained in civil actions.
Repealing the act of May 23, 1013. to
create suburban metropolitan districts In
areas within 25 miles of cities of tho first
class, to provide for tho creation of a
department of suburban metropolitan
planning and the appointment of subur
ban planning commissions.
Requiring County Commissioners to
provide at the expense of the county a
telephone, typewriter and stenographer
for the use of tho County Superintendent
of Schools,
Relating to the acquisition and holding
of property, real and personal, of any
literary, scientific, educational, religious,
charitable, benevolent or beneficial so
ciety incorporated or any trustee or any
trust for any of the purposes named.
To validate deeds and other convey
ances of real estate made In this Com
monwealth by mechanical, mining,
quarrying, manufacturing and other

sage of this act.
To authorize the Insertion In the
charter of any corporation for the sup
port of public worship an amendment

chairman of the Board of Trustees or
other governing body.

served as a mine Inspector continually for
eight years and has passed two consecu
tive examinations for Inspector shall be
exempt from further examination as mine
Inspector, and shall continue In said office
unless removed by provisions of law
Authorizing county commissioners to
expend bicycle license funds for repairing
and constructing roads.
To prevent the wearing of police badges
by unauthorized persons In cities of the
first clasa.
Authorizing county commissioners of
any county to close, abandon and re
move county bridges under certain cir
cumstances with consent of the Grand
Jury.

Cavallo was an old friend of Zaffarano's,
too, and tho young couple began to see
a good deal of him.
Cavallo talked to Zaffarano about tho

' Meanwhile Zaffarano, who had been nn

on January 4, three days before he and
Lucia were married, Cavallo had taken
the girl to his home under some prelensti

He followed Ids wife about yesterday

But he had learned the truth too late.
Ills wife had begun firing. As ho rushed

nnd to turn tho church property over
to the accounting warden, Lelloy A. Mc
Dermott, and the rector's warden,
Chnrles A. Brown, of tho new vestry,
which Doctor Richmond contends Is not
the legal governing vestry of the church.
The action Is n supplemental bill In
equity, filed on behalf of Bishop Rhine
lander, by his nttorney, James Wilson
Bayard, and Is Intended to fix tho now
vestry, commonly known as the "curb

junction which would restrain Doctor
Richmond from holding tho property nnd
preaching In tho church by physical

the Rev. Henri M. G. Huff to preach
In the church temporarily, as Bishop
Rblnelandor has requested.

Fallacies
FACT is a real state of things. FALLACY is cm appar
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument.
Oppressive
(CavemmenlJ
PROHIBITION is repressive government. Schiller In one of his
essays says the evil of such law is in.maklng creatures of men.
Yet Prohibitionists Impose upon people the FALLACY that man
kind can be made morally better by statutes that aro repressive
even oppressive.
IT IS education not law that cultivates and develops self-reliant,
self-disciplined, strong men fully cognizant of their own
responsibility for their own acts. The slogan of American citizenship,
therefore, should be, "Come what may, we shall be men, not
creatures."
PI R. JOHN EMERSON ROBERTS, writing on the FALLACY
U of Prohibition, points to the FACT that there is good in every
thing ana oaa tn everything; that everything mankind uses is good
or bad according to the way it is used. And this applies to all things
that enter into the life of men.
"LI E SAYS: "Eating may become gluttony; drinking may become
drunkenness; love may become lust; power may become
oppression; government may become tyranny. It is not the use, but
the abuse of a thing which is to be condemned. Gluttony is not the
fault of the meat; it is the fault of the meat eater,"
PROHIBITIONISTS go at reform in the wrong way. If their
philosophy was adopted, to prohibit everything that is or may
be abused, there would be nothing left in life; for everything is abused
somewhere by somebody. Prohibitionists assert that the drinking of
any kind of beverage, containing any quantity of aJcohoL is evil and
only evil, and therefore should be prohibited by law.
II
PROHIBITIONISTS divide society Into two classes; the Vet"
and the "dry." In all their talks they imply that the "drys"
comprise the good and pure, while the "wets" are a deprayed sort
tobogganing toward Hades. Prohibitionists encourage the inference
that all who are opposed to Prohibition are opposed to the church,
religion, and to morals generally. This is FALLACY. The FACT is
that many of the best men in every community, judged from the
standpoint of high moral character, are moderate users of alcoholic
stimulants.
