Go Further, However


Lincoln, Neb., June 5.-Wiluam
Jennings Bryan returned to Lincoln
Saturday to remain until after the
marriage of his daughter Grace to
Richard Lewis Hargreayes, Wednes-
day evening. A prenuptial dinner
was held at the Bryan home Saturday
night. Mr. Bryan declined 70 discuss
political possibilities further than to
say some pleasant things about Gov
Wilson and others mentioned in con
neotion with the democratic nomina-
tons
On the action of the democratic
House caucus on wool, he said: THE
bill is better than any republican bill
we have ever had. The only objec-
ton that have to 1t is that 1t does
not go far enough believe 1t would
have been better if they had put
wool on the free schedule and made
a greater reduction in the rates on
wooden goods than they did. A dem
ocrat can criticise for not going far
enough while rejoicing that it went
as far as it did"

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev
alence and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders of
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at meeting OF druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation con
tanning morphine or its salts except
upon a doctors prescription.
The ordinance Is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members Of the board of
health who were instrumental In OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo,
one OF the druggists, said he had
made a canvass by mail of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent Of the victims Of
drugs formed the habit as result Of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only s per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.
