We Join heartily with the Roanoke
Times in its opposition to the bill
introduced in the Senate by Mr.. Lyle.
of the Roanoke district, which, if
made a law by the Legislature. will
take from the people in the cities the
right of electing Commissioners Of
the Revenue. Unfortunately i'm pro-
viding that Commissioners of the
Revenue should only hold for one
term when elected by the people the
Constitutional Convention left it dis
cretionary with the Legislature as
to whether they should be appointed
or elected and Senator Lyle's bin is
the direct result. We do not believe
that in view of the recent hue and
cry all over this State for election OF
officers by the people that the Legis-
lature will ever give serious consider
alton to measure which strikes a
blow at this policy and especially
when the right to elect this particu-
lar officer is already vested in the
people. Were it otherwise the chances
are that no bill would be passed TO
give the people this right Then why
should it be taken from them? Are
they growing less capable OF chcos-
ing their public servants? We do
not know that the matter is one Of
any great Importance further than
the tendency displayed tocurtail that
more and more the elective powers
of the voters is a dangerous one
The people have chosen very good
commissioners in the past. They are
still able TO do so. The bill of Mr..
Lyle provides for the appointment OF
Commissioners of the Revenue by the
Judges of the Corporation Courts.

A gay Lothario has come out

did everything and anything sug-
gested by the mind of a desperate
man, but the vengeance OF the nine
was as implacable as the furies OF
the Fates. They haunted him night
and day, they made his life miserable
and at last he succumbed TO the
inevitable. The law now clutches him
in lighter embrace than that OF his
nine wives, and soon cheerfully. even
gladly, he will seek that Elysium of
placid rest-theiail. Such is the result
OF marriage on the polygamous scale

SALE OF Po1soNs AND NARCOTICS

SALE OF POISONs AND NARCOTICS
The sale of poisons and narcotics has
become such a public scandal that
many cities and States have been en-
acting laws against it. We wish cor
respondents would keep US notified of
the progress of such reforms. The
cocaine habitues of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi are said to number thousands,
and that so widespread is the de-
graduation becoming among the negroes
that something like an determination of
the race is threatened. In Ohio a law
has recently been passed to stop the
sale of cocaine, morphine, etc, except
upon physicians prescription. The
victims of the habit in Cincinnati are
said to be thousands. In Kentucky the
State Board of Pharmacy has deter
mined to stamp out the abuse. The
number of habttues in Roanoke, Va, is
estimated at 500. In Pennsylvania the
only condition imposed upon druggists
Is that the person buying ''poisons"
shall sign his name In book stating by
whom and for what purpose, the drug is
to be used: of course that is no re-
striction whatever. The profession, and
especially the State Boards of Health
should seriously concern themselves
with some methods Of abolishing this
pernicious abuse. The cough syrups"
and soothing syrups" contain morphine
or cocaine and cures for the habitual
use Of cocaine and morphine generally
contain these drugs themselves. Their
sale should be interdicted by law, ex-
cept upon prescription: the ingredients
should at least be stated upon each
package Dr. Bumgardner Colorado
State Medical Society, 1902, states
that a two-ounce bottle of Mrs.
Winslow's soothing syrup" con-
tains one-half grain of Nor
phine sulphate and each ounce Of
Or. Bulls cough syrup contains more
than one-fourth of a grain. He also
says that certain consumption cures"
are now put up in small bottles, be-
cause not being permanent mixture
the last dose from the larger bottles
sometimes killed the patient, but that
the last dose from the smaller bottle
would contain too little morphine and
cannabis indica to prove fatal. And
this atrocious method Of making mon
ey out Of inducing disease and death is
permitted and protected by a civilized
Government! Worse than this, the
Government sanctions, and, by its
copyright laws alone, permits, the
making of the diseased and detectives
and paupers which it then must support

Medicine.
