DEFENDS "SCAB" LABOR.
President Eliot, of Harvard, Denounc-
es the Unions.

Boston. Nov. 11.-Before the Economic
club of Boston, al their banquet last
night. President Eliot of Harvard, de-
nounced the labor unions Of the country
as opposed to the education of young
men. and for what he termed their
fight against the development Of manly
instincts" In closing he characterize
the strike broker. or scab, as he call
ed him. "as good type of the American
hero" The Economic club was fromed
for the purpose of discussing current
topics The subject tonight was IN
dustrial battles and the public Prest-
dent Eliot had not. promised to speak,
but he was brought to his feet by dis
-cussion of the subject by previous
spea kers. He said present conditions in
dictated that many years must pass be-
fore the labor question is satisfactorily
solved Both sides must make conces-
sions. and adopt some plan. The prin-
cipal objection to the labor unions, from
the educators point of view, he said
was their objection to young men be-
coming competent mechanics. and that
they do prevent this is evident from the
fact that all unions attempt to limit the
number of apprentices employed in any
industry. The right Of labor is consid-
cred the most sacred right of the Amer
lean citizen. President Eliot's objection
to the labor unions was. he said. that
the object of the union seemed to be
work as few hours as possible, produce
as little as possible during that time and
to receive as much money as pOssible
for the service given This attitude was
in effect nothing more than a constant
fight against the development of manly
instincts He said he had a profound
contempt for any man who did not
choose to labor every day, just as long
as his strength would permit

COCAINE Law PROPOSED.


1t is now proposed to have the legis-
lature pass law Furnishing the sale
of cocaine in Iowa without the pre-
scription of a licensed physician.
The proposal comes from Ottu,nwa,
but Keokuk would be probably the
greatest gamer by the new law. The
use of cocaine here among the lower
class of negroes is something fearful
in its quantity and effects. The Keo-
kuk druggists not long ago all signed a
pledge not to sell the drug, but there
has been no appreciable lessening of
the amount sold here since then. 1t
is evident that in Keokuk new law is
necessary to stop the terrific traffic.
The Five Points is filled with cocaine
fiends. There are in the neighborhood
of a hundred here. They must have the
drug, after contracting the habit. and
do anything and everything to get 1t
from kicking up a row among them
selves to issuing counterfeit lead dol
lars. The epidemic was brought here
from Hannibal by colored flend and is
spreading all the time. Seemingly pure
iecklessness is at the bottom of the
spread of the habit; some very bright
and educated young negroes have gone
to Jail and the grave on account of It
The Users of the drug are constantly
in the police court and in Jail. They
steal everything except the bricks in
the paving of Main and Johnson
streets. When they are out of funds
and need cocaine they get up free
fight between two of their number in
the Five Points; one fighter has the
other arrested. and the rest of the
crowd go as witnesses at sixty cents
apiece. The witnesses clear the de-
PENDANT and divide the proceeds with
the prosecuting witness and the one
arrested. The cost to Lee county and
the city of Keokuk by this method is
keep small family in food, clothes
and house rent.
The drug makes mental and moral
idiots OF all who use 1t. Some here
swallow the powder and rub 1t into
their cheeks inside, or SNUFF 1t up their
nostrilS.
The proposed bill will be modelled
after the Illinois law, which is as fol-
lows having gone into effect July /,
1897.
This law provides that 1t shall not
be lawful for any druggist or other per-
son to retail or sell or give away any
cocatne, hydrochloratc, COR compound
thereof. except upon the written pre-
scription of a licensed physician or IL
censed dentist, under the laws of the
state, which prescription shall be filed
only once: provided, that the rroyi-
sions of this section shall not apply to
sales in the usual quantities by a
manufacturers or wholesale dealer.
