MI ueorge ". Heyer' onc " wv iea'ihs
druggists OF the city, was approached on
the subject Yesterday evening. In speaking
az II he said: SIN my opinion, IL the reputa-
BE drurrists Of tlis city are willing to
sign petition asking tho passage OF this
ordinance. ana arc also willing 10 give up
the revenue derived from the sale u these
drum and stop selling them altogether
except In cases where they are absolutely
necessary for scientific purposes, then it is
a. little "a the city council can do to pass
the ordinance In the interests of humanity
ana the moral welfare OF the community,
II do NOT claim I" said he. .that this or
dinance az II has been drawn up is perfect.
Az the same time, II Will have its effect and
its detective points can be amended later
on. II Houston takes the matter lin 7 be-
iIeve other leading cities OF the State wiii
follow and I think the rext ,egisIat,,ro
will recognize the necessity of making il
. rigid State law. For my part I do not
sell cocaine to the general public and |
have refused To sell IL time and again 10
persons who have gone to some other store
and procured IL. I consider II far worse
than the liquor habit and would lust as
soon think Of starting In to sell whisky to
every one who called for II. am ngitafinr
the question merel, for the sakc n I'M.

MIR. Ben Wilbush was also called upon nv
Post representative. He probably sells M
much or moro OF cocaine than nny other
druggist In the CITY. and he Was me ~ the
signers Of the petition asking the passage
OF the prohibitory ordinance. When this
mas mentioned NJ WHITMAN .o,a. .f ,,,.s
that petition because am strictly opposed
To the sale OF cocaine, At the same time, \
] hardly think the ordinance as It has bee,,
framed. and as it appeared In this morn-
ings Pest covers the ground thoroughly
enough What | would like to see Ia q
condition under which IL would be abso-
iutely impossible for any one but a physi- |
clan 10 buy the drug. The proposed ordi- |
nance says that druggists are not allowed
10 sell barter or exchange, or give away |
any mixture compounded by him containing
cocaine or morphine, except upon the pre-
suription Of regularly licensed and prac-
ticng physician.
