party have united upon him because he
 seems so strong a candidate. and more
 over because his success in business
 and in state policies stands to the city's
 credit. Eighteen months in advance
 that looks like long distance prepara-
 tion, but in this city of 2.500.000 people
 and Republican majority no advan-
 tage of organizing can be overlooked
 Already the campaign is on-the first
 phase of it, to induce MT. Graham to
 lend the party his name. Spontan-
 eously the efforts have begun and Mir.
 Graham has said: Hundreds of peO-
 pie have called on me. telephOned me,
 or written me assuring me of their sup
 port and declaring that 1 am being made the subject of er-increasing discussion as a possible candidate. As well as l can judge the talk comes from all sections of the city and from all sorts Of interests. My friends are kind enough to tell me that l could be elected not as the representative of any faction or party. 1 deem election as mayor of the city of Chicago as an exceedingly great honor. think much of Chicago. having spent forty
 seven years of my life in the city. 1 believe Chicago has immense possibili- ties for the future" From d clerk in a furniture house by dOgged push and persistence to the time when he became a banker, the story of this man should he be elected mayor, will sound like the success that has built the city to a place among the four great cities of the world in seventy years, while the others of the Same class have witnessed a slow growth of centuries, even thousands of years.
 Cocaine fiends. more numerous in rural and village communities and in districts far removed from urban fields of vice is the most alarming phase that has confronted the Currier commission of Chicago for investigation of drug The growth of the coke" habit among the southern negroes and poor whites finds counterpart in the extent of enslavement to cocaine pre- valent among the sheep -herders, ranchers and cattlemen in Wyoming and in other western states where the exact antithcsis of metropolitan slums exist, and removes from cocaine the stigma of a vice of civilization" The spoilations and baffling witness of the spread of cocaine in producing power less protest and epidemic dread over the increase of crime. violence and vice. The State Board of Charities and Re form of Wyoming writing to tine com declares: Tn Cheyenne, CO., caine is acknowledged to be at the bottom of more crimes than all the ! other causes of crime together.

enough to float the navies of the
 United States and Great Britain with
 hundred frog ponds left over. Not
 withstanding the water supply of old
 Lake Michigan the requirements of D.
 500,000 people have not yet been met.
 although there is alleviation ahead, two
 years in tho distance when the great
 southwest land tunnel will be com
 pleted to provide a hundred million
 gallons more. City surveys indicate
 that so per cent of the water drawn in
 the famine section is wasted and man
 datory orders regulating the use of
 water are flying thick as bees with
 agile follow-ups in the shape of ar
 rest-on-sight policemen. One fortieth
 of the supply is used by the city for
 street sprinkling. sewer flushing and
 similar purposes. The parks consume
 10.575.97S gallons of city water every day. of which s.156.27S gallons go to the south parks, 1,S39,00O gallons to the west parks, 500, ,0OO to the various small parks and 30,7O0 to Lincoln park for drinking fountains. This saving of city water thus affected in Lincoln park adds impetus to the agitation for the esta bIishment of a special system of water supply for the parks and even it's probable cost of s4O.0OO is rated as an economy Too much lawn sprinkling and too frequent and liberal bathing are the ascribed causes for the water deficit, Flat dwellers and humble city residents in the Jackson park and Hyde brand. Mayor Busse was almost the park districts where the water squeeze is tightest complain that Chicago is being forced into wearing water works system that has been outgrown until it is several sizes too small. The wall of protest is loudest from dwel- lers in upper story flats who claim that sanitary conditions are impossible and that life holds no moCkery equal to faucets from which water either hot or cold positively refuses to come. The City's receipts from the water works in 1908 reached the total of $4,SS3,326, the total pumpage being over 172.500,- 900 gallons.
 As for mayors. Chicago's preferences are turning to the home grown men. the lifelong residents whose business capacities have been demonstrated to be of the typically T will" Chicago first to be tried and now Andrew J.

is the statement made by one of the members of the city council who is a physician The problem of dealing with the cocaine habit is one which is baffling the authorities at this time. The real menace of the drug habit is not shown so much in our state instl- tutions as in the cities and towns. The police and the officials generally are constantly complaining about the way the drug habit is increasing their bus mess. Very recently it was found that the city coroner in Cheyenne was fur nishing to the lowest dives in town, CO., caine in limitless quantities. When brought before the city council on a charge of selling drugs illegally, his defense was that as a licensed phy- sician he was allowed to sell these drugs in any way he chose. The unfor- tunate thing about it is. that under the present law which cannot be amended until the next session of the legislature, his defense is a good one. As a con sequence the sale of the drug is more open and menacing than before and is likely to continue so."
