THE COCAINE EVIL.

Much alarm is being manifested in
some quarters over the increase in the
sales of cocaine. States Attorney De-
neen of Chicago is convinced that
large numbers of railroad men, being
not allowed to drink, have taken to
the cocaine habit, the practice of
which they are better able to conceal
from their superiors. Chief of Police
O'Neill of the same city proposes the
revocation of the licenses of drug
gists who sell the drug indiscrimi-
nately.
This is all very silly. If people were
more practical, they would see that
a sjudicious license law" regarding the
sale of the deadly drug is what is
needed.
Such a law should provide that
those addicted to the habit shall pur-
chase their supply of the drug during
certain hours and on week days only.
This would possess the double advan-
tage of appearing pious and not inter-
fering seriously with the personal
liberty of cocaine fends. No "kids"
should be allowed to buy the drug,
this being the privilege of those who
have reached or nearly reached the
fullness Of their powers and who &C.
cupy positions Of responsibility and
influence. To be sure, it is doubly i'm
portant that the latter named class
should have a clear brain and steady
nerves but we must draw the line
somewhere and we would draw it on
the kids. Other valuable, features of
the liquor license law which are adapt
able to legal measure regulating
the cocaine evil will suggest them
selves to thoughtful minds, especially
to those who pride themselves on
seeking the practical" rather than
the ideal" who take things as they
are" rather than as they would like
to have them.
Great is the license system! Let it's
benefits be extended!

THE ROOT OF THE EVIL.

in spite of the earnest efforts of Com
missioner Williams to exclude, the
most undesirable of the foreigners
who arrive here, wave of illiterate,
criminal, pauperized, insane, weak
minded, and diseased humanity is

the relation of drink to illiteracy,

not do it's utmost to stamp out the
traffic which is so prolific of these

A PLAIN TALK.

We would like to have every Pro-

this item, give few minutes just now
to the candid consideration of this
question, what have you DONE, what
are you DOING for Prohibition
To cast a Prohibition ballot-if you
have ballots your first duty to the
cause and it is also the most valuable
service you can render it. You are, do
ing that, of course. That is what con-
stitutes you Prohibitionist. But
what are you doing to increase our
numbers?
Do you keep yourself posted as to
what is taking place on the firing line
Of prohibition thought and activity?
Are you doing some good thinking in
defense of our principles? Are you
taking time and using tongue and
pen and printers ink to get your de-
Tense of these principles before others
the greatest number possible? Are
you earnestly seeking after improve
ments in our methods and giving 9TH
er workers the benefit of your views
and experiments herewith? Are you
working, whether with time-tried or
newer methods? Are you working
courageously, hopefully, good-natured-
ly and persistently?
Do you remember to do what you
intend to do? Do you carry out what
you plan? Are the two or ten certain
things which on Jan. LIST you purposed
to have done by this time accomplish
ed? Have you actually sent your state
or national committee that pledge?
Have you gotten up that club or re-
mitted that little amount due the pa
per which is bravely fighting your
battle against odds SO tremendous that
| it has right to your very next
hour? Have you gotten up that meet
ing? Have you had that converse
ton? Have you scattered that litera-
ture?
In a word, are your best powers
powers, we say, not intentions; pow
CTS WHICH, plan duu oAeCuIe, WHICH w
as we'll as dare-are these powers
consecrated to the success of this
cause?
Acareful scrutiny of ourselves along
these lines, an honest comparison of
our goodwill and our deeds may not
show that we are idle but may reveal
to us that we are doing less, vastly
less, than we might accomplish and
ought to accomplish.
