Recent revelations respecting the
spread of the cocaine habit in Chicago
are alarming. Cocaine produces insan-
ity of a hopeless type. The state in
sane asylums of the gulf states shelter
a large proportion of negroes whose in
sanity is due to the use of the drug. The
danger of cocaine is not only in its in
herent evil qualities, but in the fact that
it is what may be called a poor mans
drug. 1t takes considerable money to
satisfy the morphine habit or the choral
habit or the hasheesh habit, but very lit
tie to crafty the cocaine habit.

Probably it will be good while be-
fore automatic vehicles will be en-
ployed for farm use, yet the trip of the
200 motor car enthusiasts from New
York to st. Louis over all sorts of
roads indicates that the automobile is
approaching state of development in
which it may be used for almost any
vehicular purpose. The breakdowns
between New York and Chicago were
hardly more than could have been
looked for among an equal number OF
carriages drawn by horses. There is
no reason why automatic propulsion
should not be used on farm wagons.

Revival of the discussion of the food
value of alcohol comes at time when
Christian saloons are opened in New
York. 1t is doubtful whether whisky
can be made respectable even though
it has a food value and is sold over a
religious bar. If alcohol is a food,
there are many foods far superior to
it and entailing no misery, want and
suffering. AS for ecclesiastical digni.
taries lending their countenance to
the saloon business, it is merely mat
ter of individual taste which does not
at all affect the underlying fact that
the saloon is not a moral agent

SULTAN YIELDS
TO OUR DEMANDS
AMERICAN SCHOOLS TO BE FAIR
LY TREATED.
MINISTER LEISHMAN FIRM
Wins Every Contested Point in Is
sue Between the Two Countries
American Squadron In
structed to Depart.

Constantinople, Aug. 15-The issues
between Turkey and the United States
were arranged Saturday to the, salts
faction of both governments. Fridays
conference between Minister Leishman
and Izzet Pasha, secretary of the pal
ace, and Nedjib Melhane, assistant
minister of public works (not Selim
Pasha, minister of mines, as cabled)
occurred at Mr. Leishman's summer
residence at Therapia and lasted eight
hours, during which Izzet Pasha ex-
changed communications with the pal
ace. The fact of sending palace per-
functiOnary unacquainted with the
question to discuss the matter with
Mr.. Leishman is typical of Turkish
methods. The sultan's ignoring Of the
proper channel-namely, the porte-is
much commented upon as evedintly be-
ing an attempt to delay settlement.
Minister Takes Firm Stand.
In the course of the discussion the
Turkish delegates attempted to impugn
the character of some of the schools
and contested the American claim to
be granted certain privileges given to
similar French institutions. Mr., Leish-
man, however, firmly refused to con-
slider for moment any suggestion of
discrimination and insisted on a full
acceptance of the American list of
about 300 schools, hospitals, charita-
BILE institutions and missionary dwell
ings filed with the porte Is months
| ago.
Insists in Fair Treatment.
The American minister pointed out
that the porte had had ample time to
verify the list, but had done nothing,
and Mr.. Leishman positively refused to
listen to any suggestion regarding
treatment differing from that accorded
to other schools. The usual attempts
were made to induce Mr.. Leishman to
stop the American squadron from go
ing to Smyrna by promising an i'm
mediate settlement, but the minister
declined to intervene.
Squadron Instructed to Sail.
A settlement of other matters af-
fecting American interests in Turkey,
of secondary importance, has also been
effected, and Minister Leishman has
telegraphed to Rear Admiral Jewell,
in command of the United States
squadron sent to Smyrna, instructing
him to salute the batteries on land
and depart.
