THE COCAINE HABIT.

Senator Aldrich is reported to have
refused to support movement for
IA prohibitory tariff, internal rev
enue tax or other means which will
restrict the use of cocaine, its sub
stitutes and derivatives, to medical
purposes" on the ground that con
gress is not the custodian of the
morals of the nation. We hope that
he has been misquoted. The regu-
lation of the importation and sale of
dangerous drugs is a recognized gov
eminent function as is shown in the
legislation governing the sale of
opium. Cocaine is in every way as
great a menace. and i'm some respects
it is even worse Charges are made
that it is being distributed among
school children in New York City
by men engaged in the traffic Sc
cretly. who have perfected a business
organization which up to the present
time has successfully defied the po-
lice 1t is clearly the duty of con
gress to surround the distribution of
this drug with such safeguards that
the nefarious business Of making drug
fiends out of public school pupils may
be speedily broken up.

There is one outrage which has
long and so frequently that it has
come to be regarded as a part of
the machinery of justice. 1t is called
the third degree" a young man in
Los Angeles suspected Of having
stolen a registered package containing
$4,000 consigned by a bank there to
bank in Bisbee, is now being put
through the third degree. There is
admittedly no evidence against him,
merely a supposition that he had a
better chance to steal that money
than any other postoffice gemploye
through whose hands it passed 1t
is agreed by all who know the sus-
poet that he had hitherto led a clean
life.
Also within the last week a Chi
naman in New York has been sub
jected to torture that in his agony
he might divulge some fact that
would illuminate the mystery Of the
Sigel murder. He was deprived of
sleep Ga Chinese method of torture
by the way and piled with questions
by relays of inquisitors. 1t was at
last announced that he had been
pumped dry but nothing of value
had been learned and the victim was
released.
This system Of torture is in viola
ton of two principles of our Ameri-
can system of justice. One of these
principles guards a suspect against
self discriminating statements. The
other principle is the assumption of
the innocence of every accused man
until he has been proved guilty.
Aside from the barbarism and the
un-Americanism of the third degree
it has often no doubt paved the way
for the conviction and punishment of
the innocent. Under the tortures in
flicted i'm its administration many a
man ignorant of the crime under
investigation has given way and
either has made untruthful admissions
of his own guilt or the guilt of 9TH
ers to gain momentary relief from
his torturers.
There is just now a strong revul-
sion of sentiment in this country
against this method Of detecting crime
which we believe will be followed by
Within the last year, we believe in
New York there has been legislation
requiring greater discrimination in the

MORE THAN ONE KIND OF HEAT.

MORE THAN ONE KIND OF HEAT
Phoenix was not given a square
deal in a weather report sent out
from Washington on Saturday night,
in which the temperature at this
point leo degrees was linked together
with the temperature. SO degrees. at
Washington, Baltimore and Lynch
burg, Va, and all coupled with the
observation that it was an unusually
hot day all over the country.
A temperature of 100 degrees in
Phoenix is one thing and the same
showing in any of the other cities
mentioned is quite another. As a
matter of fact Saturday was not a
very warm day in this locality, as
midsummer days go. The tempera-
ture was below the average and the
people instead of complaining, con-
graduated themselves on the state of
the weather, only wondering how
much longer it would preserve its
moderation. If the temperature here
that day had been, say 120. and it
had been SO in Washington ct al,
there would have been some sense in
mentioning Phoenix in the same
breath with those heat ridden towns
of the Atlantic.
Isothermal lines on the weather
map are misleading to eastern people
who do not know that there are two
kinds of heat.
