constitutes MfsdemeanOr.
The attention of some of the druggists
has recently been called to the state
law regulating the sale of cocaine. and
the majority of them were surprised
at the restrictions placed on the arti-
Gle.
Under the Georgia law it is a mis-
demeanor to sell cocaine except upon
the prescription of a regular practi-
toner, and the refilling of prescriptions
is not permitted. 1t is said that the
use of cocaine has increased in Sa,yan-
nah, and that in some cases negroes
are using the drug. The habit is one
that cannot be overcome after II has
once taken hold on a victim. The
Atlanta police discovered some time ago
that there are regular joints in that civ

private life. stands Boss Burford OF
the First National Bank, also a good
man in his way. who has several sell
fish schemes to put through for the
bank at the expense Of the city. One
Of these is the proposed purchase by
the city for twenty-five thousand dol
lars Of half the Thomas ranch, now
practically owned by the bank. If this
. scheme goes through the bank will
get back the money loaned on the
land with big interest and will have
half the ranch left as clear profit An
other scheme of the bank is to con-
tinup in power an administration that
will throw off a third or more of the
taxes levied against its stock. Be
sides. the cashier Of the bank is in
terested in securing several valuable
concessions from the city that he
feels confident will be granted by the
Hunt administration. Because of
past favOrs or fayOrs expected
several members Of the present ad-
ministratiOn are under financial obi

already manifested their gratitude by
doing it's will. To reflect Gilbert

SCHIOKOVICS AND HANNA.

The Servian system OF politics is
unique 1t combines features OF an
cient custom with the modern. Though
the term of regnancy ends with as
sassinatiOn. in accordance with very
old practices, the new government is
sustained by methods that are, in
some respects. quite novel. Thus, the
tendency towards democracy was
checked by a banquet, at which
threats of murder served the purpose
as effectually as the sanguinary deed
could have done.
American politicians may study
Servian tactics with profit. The case
of L. Jubomir SchiokOvics, editor Of
the Belgrade Odjek is worthy of con-
sideration. He espOused the cause OF
democracy and urged the institution
of a republic. His attitude displeased
the government, which is the army,
and he was invited to a banquet at
the Officers club.
During the feast the host informed
Schiokovics that there would be one
head less in Belgrade if the Odjek
continued to publish republican edi-
tOrials. The hint was effective, and,
in consequence. SchiOkOvics is now
minister of Justice Of the KaraGeorg-
evitch monarchy.
In the United States public men
make too much noise over their con
tests. They rely too much on spell
binding and intrigue. There is said
to be a conspiracy, for instance,
among Senators Quay. Foraker and
Platt and President Roosevelt to de-
pose Mark Hanna from the chairman
ship of the national republican COM
mittee Why should the strife be pro-
lOnged? How much easier it would
be to give a banquet in honor of Mark
Hanna and tell him about Schiokovics.

BUT DON'T GET SCARED.

In eulOgizing the New Woman Of
the Twentieth Century the Reverend
Frank G.. Tyrrell of St. Louis draws
the picture of a strenuous female who
is likely to make things hum in her
progress through world that has
hitherto contemplated Ewes daught-
ers as constituting the weaker and
gentler sex.
She will write or paint or perform;
she will buy and sell" says Mr.. Tyr
rell. She will produce; she will in
vest; she will preach and plead; she
will uncurtain the heavens and tell
the secrets of the stars; she will I'M
cover the earth and make the silent
rocks eloquent with the story of Gre
ation.'
That's a pretty big contract when
you stand back and size it up, and it
is to be hoped that. if Mr.. TyrrelI has
been correctly informed as to the in
tentiOns of the New Woman. she has
not bitten off more than she can
chew. as the hOmely old saying has
it. It's so easy, you know to sit COM
placently in ones rocker these "ad-
vanced' days and determine to re-
verse old Mther Natures laws
and yet the job is such beastly diff
| fcult one when it comes TO the tack
| ling. Uncurtaining the heavens and
unCOvering the earth sounds bit
like a housekeeping chore, yet the
| New Woman will find it vastly differ
ent; the heavens and the earth are
so big, in comparison with the ordi-
nary home where woman is so beau
tlful and helpful that running them
on schedule time is mighty apt to
make her tired until every bone in
her body aches. And. besides. there
is not the least bit of evidence that
the Creator has assigned her this
hard and thankless task.
/ Remembering this truth. which all
but a Omparatively few mothers of
men gladly recognize, that woman's
natural instinct tells her where her
true happiness is to be found, if she

Mr.. TyrelIs terrifying female is not
so imminent as he would have us be

predicts, and she herself will be the

HAVE NOT ADVOCATED.

The me, too" hebdOmadal editor
of the poll parrot organ has the funny
notion that because Levi Ankeny
has been elected to the senate for six
years the people of Walla Walla
should abandon all interest in local
government and trust to the machine
to attend to all the affairs Of the city,
school district and county. He fears
that the presumption of citizens of
Walla Walla in daring to bring out OPP
position candidates for city offices is
an attempt to dislOdge Levi from his
seat However, the Independent vOt
ers Of this city have not yet abdicated
the right to govern themselves and
they will give no heed to the silly
twaddIe Of the servile sheet that
makes no cOncealment of the fact that
it has surrendered its honest cOnvic-
tons for a mess of pOttage from the
machine. Everybody does not agree

tor that because Levi Ankeny has

essary to get down and lick his boots

dollars worth of material to the school

What lawless element does the IN

gamblers who are to return and re-

voted and worked against the new
gambling law it is not likely that he
will manifest any great zeal in enforc-

ment" the Union refers to public Off
Gals who violate the law prohibiting
their selling goods to the city. Again
the organ may have in mind a general
strike by union labor in this city,
require a chief Of police who will
handle the "1awless element in a
way that will make them go to work
or leave the town. AS the morning
organ is very vague in its utterances

determine just what it does mean by
the probable "emergency" that may
