At this season of the year man be-

from store window to store window and
views with engrossing interest the dis
plays of various wears for mankind.
He studies hat styles with the eye of a
critic; gaZes generously on the bright
colored silks for neck dress; sizes up
the styles in suits and criticizes hosiery
and shoes. It's a serious matter, this
choosing a Fall and Winter covering,
and the average man realizes it. Yet
there is simple way to go about it,
and one that saves a vast amount OF
time and shoe lea ther. And that is to
accept Meigs & Co.'S cordial invitation
to visit their store at Main street and
Fairfield avenue, in the Meigs building,
and inspect the fall styles at close
range. This firm has prepared an ex-

| No obligation to buy is involved by a
visit to the store: everything will be

preacher and a class reader, overflow

Drew now began business on his own
account, though his whole capital was
only ii shllinss: but his steady good
character being now proved, a neigh
boring miller volunteered loan which
was accepted, and. success attending
his industry, the debt was repaid at
the end Of q year. He started in life
with determined resolution TO ''OWe
no man anything" and he held to it in
the midst of many pTiVatiOns. Often
he went to bed suDperiess to avoid rls-
ing in debt. His ambition was TO
achieve independence by industry and
rigid economy. and in this he gradual
ly succeeded. In the midst of incessant
toll he labOred to carry forward the
cultivation Of his mind studying even
astronomy, history and metaphysics.
From that moment Drew dropped
politics and stuck to his daily work and
to self-imQrOvement in his spare hours.

pen now appeared in rapid succession,
and a few years later. While still work

published his admirable Essay on the
Immateriality and Immortality Of the

time. The book went through many

lNoREAsE IN DRue usg-

T HE JOURNAL Of the American Med
tcaI association calls attention to
what it considers a most alarming in
crease in the drug habit in the United
States, and presents some figures which
tend to show that its position is wen
taken. The cocaine habit. for instance.
prevails TO an astonishing extent and.
while the habitues Of the under world
are it's chief devOtees. the habit is by
no means confined to them.
We are told that the drug is sold with
as little conjunction as IL it were the
most harmless Of preparations. One
Philadelphia drug store is cited as an
example. In this place cocaine is pur-
chased in 1O0-ounce lots every month.
No prescription need be presented IN
order to secure it; there is no limit as
to the age OF the purchaser OF the
amount Of a given purchase, the only
thing needful being the price Drug
stores all over the country are reported
as engaging in the same practice.
though perhaps on a less wholesale
plan.
1t IS the opinion Of the Journal that
nine-tenths Of the cocaine users acquire
the habit through the use Of patent
medicines or patented prescriptions.
and the morphine habit is acquired in
the same way. The use OF morphine.
however, is slowly decreasing, while the
cocaine users show ever increasing
numbers. The importation of the CO.
caine salts. the best guide to the preva-
ICnnn n q L. eT-.
creased from S176,94s worth in 1901, 20
S254,704 worth in 1902. and an almost
proportionate increase is being main
tanned for 1908.
OF the urgent need for legislation on
the subject the Journal says: Some
thing must be done; we have cocaine
laws in a few states and city ordinances
in certain localities. but thus far prac-
tically little has been done to stop the
baneful habits in this way. The amount
Of cocaine, for example. that can be
legitimately used for medicinal pur-
poses certainly bears very little pro-
portion to the total amount now used.
and an increase such as is represented
is a very bad omen for the future Of our
population.
National legislation is certainly re-
quired; the United States government
permits the importation Of smoking
opium for no better reason than the
vendor has for selling It, and it is a
national disgrace that such is the case.
Over 100000 pounds Of opium for -smolz-
ing purposes were imported last year.
and the Importation is increasing each
year. If matters go on as at present
the time viii come when there win be
as important a business interest at
work in the matter Of drug-seIIing and
encouraging the habits as already ex-
lists In the case Of alcohol"

COOP Government DECISION


II HE DECISION Of Judge Lacombe of
the United States circuit court in
session In New York. that the English
anarchist, John Turner. must be de-
ported. viii meet the approval Of every
American citizen who loves his coun-
try's laws and institutions. The Tur-
ner case viii 90 to a higher court, but
in the meanwhile the anarchist win be
detained on Ellis island. where his pow
or for harm viii be extremely limited.
And Il is entirely probable that the
court Of last resort win sustain Judge
Lacombe.
The attorneys for Turner made a hard
fight to save him from deportation.
They argued that anarchy is a religion
with him. and that to deport him would
be to DO away with religious freedom
IN this country. The sophistical nature
OF this plea was readily recognized by
the court and It must be readily rec
Ognized by every one. Aparchy may
be a religion with Turner, but we have
no room IN this country for e. religion"
founded on assassination and disorder
Murder with some people Is a relig-
ION. Take for instance the vendettas Of
Italy. It is a religion with those en-
gagged IN them to follow their enemies
until they ind them and then, having
found them, to XIII them without mercy.
Would any attorney in his sane mind
argue that we should admit to this

men whose trade is murder? Yet be-
tween such a case and the case Of Tur-
ner there is a very sharply defined
parallel.
The popular understanding Of an
archy is that It means social and DO
htical confusion, a state Of society in
which there is no supreme power or
head The anarchists do not believe in
a government Of man by man. Their
ideal government is not a government
at all but a country in which absolute
individual liberty is granted to all the
people Their ideal government is one
in which every citizen is responsible to
nobody but himself for his acts.
Anarchy and assassination have be-
come almost synonymous terms, be-
cause your anarchist never hesitates to
kin individuals who stand between him
and his form Of government, or rather,
lack OF government. In the eyes Of ra-
tional people anarchists are criminals,
either actually or by instinct. Our i'm
migration laws forbid the entrance OF
criminals into this country. Anarchists
are specifically denied entrance under
a recent statute
That It IS a wise statute nobody but
the anarchists themselves and their
paid attorneys have thus far ventured
10 deny. Law-abiding citizens every
where. therefore. viii Join in hoping
that the highest court in the land win
uphold the consttutionality Of what
we may call the anti-anarchist stat
ute, which win exclude Turner and his
kind from the United States forever.

A SCOTS CRITICISM.

r GORGE GARRETT. one Of the
u most influential iron manufac-
turers Of Glasgow, Scotland. has been
visiting this country and talking to
the newspaper men. In Washington,
after expressing his great admiration
FOR the United States as a nation. he
talked about our municipal govern
ments. always a tender subject with
the average American. Among other
things Mr.. Garrett said:
You have not a single large city
where the public welfare is as con-
scientiousIy. considered and where the
interests Of the whole mass Of the
population are as well safeguarded as
IN Glasgow. In a great many Of your
larger towns political gangs, held to-
gether by the cohesive force Of graft
plumber the taxpayers and do things
with impunity that would send them
to prison IN the old country. No doubt
the vast majority Of the American peo-
pie are honest and patriotic. and how
they tolerate the rottenness Of such
political cliques as seem to dominate
great cities like New york and PhIIa-
delphia is a profound mystery"
AS Mr. Garrett was interviewed pri-
or to the late election his dig at New
York could not have been intended for
Tammany. but for the so-caueI ere
form" administration Now that Tam
many has been returned TO power by
a tremendous majority. we may expect
to see good government again inaugu-
rated in New York. Seriously. though
the return pof Tammany was not so
much a victory for that organization
as for the Democratic party the New
York campaign having been conducted
on national lines.
So much cannot be said Of Phra-
delphia. where the Quay machine Is in
absolute control and where the peo-
pie apparently have no hope of get
ting out from under its heavy yoke.
Other American cities. however. have
freed and are freeing themselves. Min
neap0lis is one. ST. Louis is another.
Chicago is "a third. Here in Salt Lake
a great good government victory was
won last Tuesday.
We are perfectly free to confess that
there isn't an American CITY Of inn
portance as well conducted as the city
OF Glasgow, Scotland. bat they have
had very much more time over there
TO work cut q model city government
than we have had. The idea OF mu-
niciDal control Of public utilities is
much furtBer advanced and the peo-
pie are much more Jealous Of their
rights.
