BORAH o REPUBLICAN STATE TICKE

BORAH FOR REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET
Occur dAlene Press: In q statement 10 the Press. Senator
Borah has put TO rest the idea that he is making a campaign
for himself alone and not giving his support TO the Republican
state ticket.
= In a reply TO a direct question he said:
Il am supporting the Republican state ticket"
This positive assertion on the part OF the senator gives the
lie to the Boise Capital News and Progressive leaders who
have been asserting that Borah is not supporting The ticket,
and that he objects TO speaking with Republican canddatse.
If they are his friends they will now cease this misrepre-
sentation because the senator has made his position clear and
everyone knows where he stands
This relieves him of an awkward position and viii result IN r.
much benefit to himself politically as well IS the party.

MADE THE u)P[RS MAD
DIR. Wiley Appeared as Private Citf-
zen Before the Pure Food Board
and Denounced Patented
P0fsOns

Washington, March 22-Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley appearing yesterday as
private citizen before the pure food
board in advocacy Of regulation
guarding very strictly the use and
| sale of opium, morphine, cocaine and
other habit-forming drugs, aroused
/ the anger of drug representatives by
referring TO them as 'dopers." A heat
ed argument ensued and for a moment
| 1t looked as if blows might be passed.
After several interchanges DR.. Wiley
consented to withdraw the term "dop-
ers," but said he would still insist on
calling them manufacturers of poll
son."
! For that" he added, "is what you
yourselves are willing to have these
drugs and preparations containing
| them called.
! AS soon as the former chief chemist
had used the word "dopers," John J.
Hueeny. of ST. Louis, a manufacturer
of saccharine. was on his feet, object
| ing
"We came here" he declared, "to be
given a hearing; we are respectable
manufacturers and we do not want to
| be insulted. / think the board should
compel Dr. Wiley to withdraw his re-
! mark.
| "I refuse to withdraw it," replied
| the doctor.
4 But after a discussion by several
i present, with whom he said he had had
pheasant relations, DR.. Wiley modified
his language.
II The representatives Of the drug
manufacturers argued that exception
should be made of preparations con-
tanning only small portions Of opium,
morphine. cocaine and other drugs
named. They held that there were so
many of these preparations scattered
through small drug stores all over the
country. that it would require years
and be a heavy expense for the manu-
facturers to have all marked with
/ skull and cross bones. as the regula-
tion of the pure food board will re-
quire.
] DR.. Wiley declared that the manu-
facturers who had been making the
profits should pay whatever costs were
necessary to protect the public from
the drug habit.
MAY 1 ask who you represent y
Wiley appeared.
was the reply. something new at
these hearings but which 1 hope will
be frequent in the future.
"As to the drug manufacturers ar
guments that small quantities OF
opium, morphine and cocaine are not
harmful, 1t would take million
Hague opium conferences to convince
me that the small amounts should be
allowed. Nothing is better than small
doses as a means of fostering the drug
habit"

At Least q Hundred Lives Were Lost
in the Death-Trap ut MeCurtain,

of sixty-one bodies had been removed
from the Inflated San Bois Coal Com
pany's mine here a: o'clock last
night and it is expected that many
Others will be taken from the wrecked
entries today. 1t is expected the death
list win reach one hundred or more
State Mine Inspector Boyle says the
evidence at hand leads him to believe
gas was responsible for the explosion.
More than twenty-five bodies were
buried today
w. d. Roper. the young engineer
whose body was today sent to his for
mer home at Clio, S. c.. came TO this
place abouttwo years ago. For three
years before his coming here, it is said
he was a member of the faculty of
military academy in Georgia. Friends
of Roper say he had intimated to them
he was soon to have married a young
woman Of Georgia. His body was not
found until more than twenty-four
hours after the explosion.
Efforts were renewed this morning
to locate seven other miners known to
have been in the workings when a gas
explosion entombed 116 men wednes-
day forenoon. When the fate of these
seven is learned the entire 116 will
have been accounted for. Twenty five
were taken out alive.
Ed Boyle, state mine inspector, with
five expert mine rescue men, remained
in the mine throughout the night, de-
spite the deadly afterdamp. They were
equipped with oxygen helmets.
small army of men this morning
began the work of digging graves.
Among those at work in the cemetery
with pick and shovel are men from all
walks of life. for there was not enough
common labor available to meet the
demand. Many are volunteering their
services without price.
Wednesdays disaster has left sixty
Ave widows and ESQ fatherless child
rem. While the miners come from diff
ferent parts Of the country some from
other lands, it is probable that all will
be buried here.
