We don't believe that there is any
thing wrong with the rank and file o.
either party. Both factions are work
ing for common cause, but in such
a manner as to destroy tho work OF
the other.
However. there Is something wrong
with both parties. The fault lies with
the leaders. We believe that Harry
Daugherty OF the Republican party
should be eliminated and that Walter
Brown OF the Progressive party
should be sent 10 the SCRAP heap
From our point OF view these gentle
men are merely professional politi-
clans. whose only object Is to plumber
the parties which they are supposed
to lead. We know that there are
others who have our feeling in regard
20 these men and that II they had the
power both would be looking for some
new rarty before the coming election.

these two who come under the same
classification. and they live right here

How About This Dope?

The expert who has written the
current series of articles on hab-
it-forming drugs for the Times
has studied more than 5000 cases
of drug addiction. And he de-
clares that three-fourths of the
American drug victims have ac-
q,iired the deadly habit from
drugs administered by their own
physicians!
This is probably the most Sc
riOns charge ever brought against
the medical profession.
There is no question of the
high honor of the profession and
tho good intentions of the doctors
who have done this grievous
wrong. They have simply been
human.
Often against their own better
Judgment, they have yielded to
the clamor of patients for some
thing to deaden intolerable pain.
And yet their intended mercy has,
in tens of thousands of cases,
proved to be an act of cruelty
that has condemned the patient to
a lifetime of keener suffering,
ending in physical, mental and
moral degradation.
The fact seems to he that many
doctors have not known the evil
potency of the drugs they admin
istered. For this, perhaps, they
are not to blame. The college

SILLIMAN
MISSING

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May Is.
John Silliman, consul at SAL
tillo, is still missing, and the adj
ministration is gravely alarmed.
Strongest assurances had been re-
ceived that he was released FROM
prison at Saltillo, and II was stat
ed that he was on his way TO
Mexico City. Failure to arrive at
the capital, taken with Huerta's
evasions relative to the case, led
to serious fears that he had been
killed.
The administrations inability
to find Silliman, the disappear
ance and probable death Of Pri-
vate Parks at Vera Cruz, the fact
that Photographer Sutton is still
rnaccounted for. although II was
understood he had been released
from arrest al Mexico City, and
the further circumstance that
correspondent named Doster was
missing have all created a strong
tension in the Mexican crisis.

VERA CRUZ, May 15.-Zapa-
tistas are within 10 miles of Mex
leo City with 5000 men. That
Zapata will attack the capital be-
fore Villa takes Saltillo is con-
sidered unlikely. He promised
Villa he would not. This did not
prevent him from showing much
activity in the city's environs.
Word reached Huerta that Zapata
has occupied Topilejo. The die
tator sent force of federals
against him. 1t is reported the
fighting began late yesterday.
Nor were rich Mexicans taking
any chances on a breach in the
southern rebel chieftain's pledge
TO Villa. All who possibly could
were leaving the capital. The
federal garrison at Tampico IL
understood to have been cut of
in retreat toward San Luis Poto-
y, and to be surrounded by q
strong rebel force. Federals are
said TO be nearly out of ammunf-

thought he was sure of three

against Nickeus' three. wrote a
sarcastic letter to the council yes
