The Campaign Ends

In many respects the most notable
political campaign in which Somerset
County ever participated terminated
last Monday The imminence OF the
final vote at Washington on the In
derwood bill and the significance OF
our election in approving or disap-
proving that measure made the inter-
est most intense.
Never before in the memory OF the
present generation has this County
been a part of an electoral district
upon which the eyes of the entire
country were SO centered. Had the
shades of Blaine and Cleveland come
among us, sword in hand, to decide
by knightly combat the issue or Free
Trade and Protection, the encounter
could hardly have been more specta g.
cular.
The fact that we alone, OF all the
431 electoral districts were to hold
an election, left the distinguished
speakers OF other states free to rush
hither. 1t is not likely that we shall
again hear upon the stump, in single
campaign, so many prominent party
leaders.
Though somewhat confused by To-
cal conditions, the result was an un-
mistakable verdict against the Demo.
cratic tariff program. This would be
properly 30 regarded, were the Peters
vote alone taken into account. With
the further consideration that the
Lawrence vote was also friendly to
protection, the protest Is even more
emphatic.
A correct reasoning upon the result
Is not clear, however, unless the con-
dition of the Democratic party in this
district be understood. 1t suffered
fully as much from ascension as did
its opponent. Hanson Of Belfast. the
acknowledge party leader in Waldo
County, was In open revolt. Kenne-
bee County was the home Of mem
Der OF the national Democratic COM
mittee and that functionary was op.
posed to Pattangall. In Somerset
County, Mr.. Gould, Democracy's vet
eran standard bearer, leant no aid.
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is graft
fed at the outcome and even ventures
to hope that 1t may have contributed
somewhat to the result. We are no
convinced as to the wisdom of the tar
if bill now pending and yet this was
not the ruling motive in our advocacy
of Peters election. We were not in
full sympathy with the Progressive
policies and yet lack Of enthusiasm
in that respect did not cause us to
side against Lawrence. We took the
stand we did because of honest belief
that Mr.. Pattangall could not worthily
represent this district and uniting
upon Peters seemed to US the sole
method of comprising his defeat. The
election returns show that Lawrence
could not possibly have won and
thereby fully justify our course.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That 80 per cent. Of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. l.. F. Kebler,
Chief Of the Division of Drugs, Depart
ment Of Agriculture. This statement,
concerning the appalling growth OF
drug addiction in the United States,
was made by Dr.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study Of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Kebler Is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared hat drug
using had increased 100 per cent. in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men we're not discriminating
enough in their use of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, Is creating thousands OF drug
users every year.
ut is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use Of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. state
laws are not saving the public from
the grip Of the drug habit, and the
American public Is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss o.
the morphine and cocaine fiend.

Roses In Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives 80 remedies compounded OF
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as a pick me-up
after his periodical gormandizing
hours. The flower was also served
at table, both as a garnish, in the way
parsley is now used, and as a salad
and rose water was largely used for
lavoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out of favor among western ma
tions, but the Chinese still eat rost
fritters.
