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

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 a 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 a result of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only per cent. from using
proprietary medicines

May Add Another Plan.

The bill to extend the dry zone
so that 1t viii include ali of Madison
is inspired, said Mr.. Baker, by the
presence of the state university.
It also may be SO drafted as to es-
tabliSh a one mile no saloon zone
wherever there are state normal and
county agricultural schools.
The county option bill will be the
same as the one that caused such a
big contest two years ago, except that
it will have one important modifea-
ton, exempting all counties having
cities Of the first and second class.
There are no cities of the second
class and the only one of the first
class is Milwaukee
The county optionists believe that
this modification will assure the pass
age of the bill. A big fight is antici-
pated in both houses, but Attorney
Baker believes that with Milwaukee
not vitality interested, that the meas
ure will have easier shedding than
two years ago.

Saws He Will make Good"

The senator began his speech by
thanking the members for the honor
conferred upon him by reelection to
the senate, and said that instead
of making extrayagant promises
he would make good" by ac-
lions. He gave 2 brief history of the
inception and organization Of the Ma
tional Progressive league and de-
clared that it began a movement for
good government and pure democracy
that would soon be nationwide in its
significance and influence.
After reading the resume of the con
stitution of the league, he enunciated
the five principles to which the or
ganization is committed, each of
which was received with applause.
Then he read the roll of the organ
izeTs, and as the names of the Wis
consin members were read, including
his own, Governor McGovern and the
Wisconsin congressman, the handicap
ping followed each name. Many of
the names of persons outside the
state, such as Governor Johnson of
California, Congressman-elect William
Kent of the same state, Francis J.
Heney, Clifford Pinchot, James R. Gar
field and others, were also received
with applause.
