GAN DHI PLAN FROWNED UPON
 BY F|LIPIN0S
Civil Disobedience Sugges- ton Is Not We'll
 Received

MANILA, P. L, May 3-Mahat- ma Gandhi's campaign of civil diso- bedience is watched with keen in- terest in this country, where some leaders for years have advocated immediate, complete and absolute independence" from the United States.
 There have been scattered sug- gestions that the Filipinos would do well to follow in the footsteps of the Indian nationalists, but the only effort in this direction by any popular leader met with a cold reception.
 Senator Juan Sumulong, head of the Democrata, or minority party, came out for Philippine civil diso- bedience, and was promptly jeered by the press and by the leaders O. the Nacionalista or majority party.
 There are a number of reasons for the failure of the Filipinos to be more than passively interested in the Indian situation. American Filipino relations as a whole are not bad. Cooperation between the governor general and the legislative heads prevails.
 May Fear Harm to Cause
 From here it looks as though the advocates of independence are be- coming increasingly strong in con- gress, and Filipino leaders may feel that any untoward action now would hurt rather than help their cause.
 Senator Sumulong, in suggesting civil disobedience for the Philip pines, proposed that all Filipinos in the government, from highest to lowest, quit their jobs. It is small wonder that he was ridiculed, for practically all of the sacrifice would be made by members of the major ity party
 Some Advocate Resistance
 However, there are at least some among the Filipino masses who are for emulating Gandhi. This is shown by letters printed from time to time by the newspapers.
 One such letter, printed recently by the Philippines Herald, one of the leading .nationalistic journals, said;
 Civil disobedience is the only way by which a subject nation like ours can cope with a stronger one like the United States.
 Are we afraid to endure priva- tions and hardships? Did not our fathers suffer and die for our lib-

AUSTIN, Texas, May 13.-The opinion that business depression and not prohibition will be the paramount issue in the 1892 Presi- dential campaign was expressed last night by Jouett Shouse, Chairman of the Democratic National Evecu- tive Committee in an address be- fore the State Legislature.
 Shouse defended the prohibition proposals of Chairman John J.

goes long way in fixing the gen. eral state of business throughout the, country.
 The interdependence of industry and agriculture never was more evident. The trend toward more intense specialization in crops has led the farmer away from his iso- lated independence Less diversi- fication means that the farmer not only buys everything that he uses in his work, but also much of his own food.
 So long. economists say, as one third of the population is depend- ent on the cash yield of the farm for what it buys at the store and the factory no recovery or read justment is possible unless it em- braces as one of it's fundamentals the placing of the farmer where he can buy and sell on the same level.

CHICAGO, March IA cam
paign to limit the use Of narcotic
drugs to legitimate medicinal needs
has been launched by the organ
lied medical profession Of the
country. The campaign has as its
object the two-fold purpose OF re-
ducing the extent of drug addiction,
and Of forestalling legislative re-
striction of the individual physi-
clans use Of narcotic drugs.
Beginning with the current is
sue, the American Medical Associa-
ton will issue in its journal, articles
dealing with various phases Of the
narcotic drug problem. The effect
Of such drugs on the body, methods
of treating drug addiction, indis-
pensable uses of narcotics in medi-
cine and surgery, substitution OF
notwithstanding drugs for ones
with addiction properties, and
progress Of research for nonhabit-
forming substitute for morphine are
the subjects Of the series planned.
1T is the purpose OF this series
of articles to indicate to the med
ical profession the relatively few
instances demanding the admins
tration of opium or cocaine deriva-
tives and the many substitutes
therefor that may be available, "
states the editor Of the Journal.
Something under Is per cent OF
narcotic addiction, it is estimated, re-
suits from the beginning of the
habit through previous use Of drugs
in medical treatment. This is after
all only an estimate, based largely
on evidence derived from the adj
diets themselves, who are notorious
ly an unsafe source Of evidence.
Nevertheless, the physician must
strive to limit his prescribing of
narcotics absolutely to those sit
uationS in which the narcotic may
be considered indispensable. Thus
he will avoid the possibility of I'M
favorable criticism"

Almost as soon as he was released
