CHIEF BHRLOW HIS
DECLARED VAR ON
DRUG. HABIT CURSE
He Says Illegal Sales of Morphine Dope FiendS Must Stop
New Law Not Broad Enough, He Thinks But the
Police Will Enforce 1t Absolutely

Recognizing the close connection that
exists between the various drug habits
and petty crime, Chief of Police Samuel
Barlow announced last evening that he is
going to take advantage of the recent leg
islation concerning the sale of morphine,
and use his best efforts to stop its Illegal
barter entirely in Salt Lake. He states
that he is only sorry the provisions of the
law are not broad enough to include the
sale of opium, cocaine and other by
products.
Section 1927 of the law states positively
the sale of morphine is hereby prohib-
tied, unless upon the prescription of a
physician, dentist or veterinary surgeon"
Said Chief Barlow last night:
I am going to notify all proprietors of
places where morphine can be purchased
that they must comply fully with the law.
and ] wish to announce at the beginning
that I will not permit any evasions. The
law permits the sale of morphine on the
prescription OF a physician, dentist or
veterinary surgeon, but If II becomes ap-
parent that dope fiends' have secured
such prescriptions in an Illegal manner,
OF If ] can prove that druggist is sell
ing such persons morphine. 7 am going
to find some way to reach all three-the

WOMEN'S WORK FOR ENCAMPMENT
OUTLINED AT MEETING OF DELEGATES

A meeting of delegates. $50 strong,
from the various wOmen's organiza
tons of the Sty was held at the Com
mercal club yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of outlining the work re-
quiTed of them I'm connection with the
coming G. A. Il. encampment and the
formation of an auxiliary arrange
ments committee.
Secretary Fisher Harris of the Com
mercial club acted as temporary
chairman and addressed the meeting
at length on the desirability of united
acton on the part of the women's or
CARNATIONS in furthering the interests
of the occasion. He also asked that
chairman and secretary, from among
the number be selected, that their de-
alterations might not include outsiders.
Colonel Frank NJ. Sterrett, in charge
of the encampment work here, then
addressed the meeting. outlining the
duties required; the election of the
necessary officers, the appointment of
subcommittee to take charge of the
various branches of the work, particu-
lar attention being called to the COM
mite on flowers. He announced that
four sacks of flower seeds from the
government agricultural department
had been procured, and it was desired
that a sentiment in favor of the gen.
plants be created.
The floral committee was also in
formed that it is to be their duty to
attend to the securing of flowers 10
decorate the various convention halls
during the encampment, and also find
supply of flowers for a flower
shower during the parade. Senator
Reed Smoot has notified the local
headquarters that a liberal supply Of
seeds can yet be obtained if required.
One of the important features of the
work of the women's auxiliary is to
furnish coffee and sandwiches for the
men before they enter the parade at 10
O'Clock, Wednesday, Aug. II, and to
procure satisfactory locations for the
distributing booths near the centers
where the different divisions are to
form.
Another committee commented on
was a general committee on reception,
with the power to appoint sub-cOm-
mittees. for the purpose of making
provision for the reception and enter
tainment of the various women's or
ganizations which are to attend. 1t Is
also a part of the work outlined for
the ladies that they provide luncheon

SNAKES TO Be USED IN
4 new VAUDEVILLE ACT
Have you seen snake lately?

Have you seen snakes latelyE
There are some in the city. Not dou-
ble-distilled, ndred-and-twenty- proof
kind, but the real, undulating. Shiny
RATHER. They are on exhibition in a
Main street window, between Second
and Third South streets. There is a
man in the window. He picks them up,
carTesses them, fondles them, curls
them around his neck. around his arms.
Once in a while they get mad.
And this exhibitiOn-for it is merely
an exhibition-is given to call attention
to new act that will be tried out at
the Orpheum at next Tuesdays mat
inee. 1t is u new playlet by Salt Lakers,
entitled "Lasca."
There is a plot and plenty of action.
The snakes supply part of the action
The story of the playlet runs like this:
There is a white girl. "Lasca," who as
a child was stolen by the Indians. This
part is played by Miss Ruth Perry. She
is raised by them and attains maturity.
When a young lady she is met and
loved by Joe, a cowboy, portrayed by
Ralph Cloninger. Joe is the chum of a
young fellow, who it transpires during
the course of the piece, is the brother
of the white-Indian girl.
Joe pleads with the girl to fly with
him. But she fears Black Eagle. the
chief of the tribe. Finally she consents
to meet him at the fork of the creek,
and fade away.
After Joe has left, the Indians, led by
Black Eagle, appeared to go through
some of the tribal ceremoniaIs- Among
them is the famous ''Moqui snake
dance" That is where the snakes come
i'm. They will be used during this part
of the playlet just as the real ceremo-
NAL provides for.
The scene changes, and the lovers
meet at the fork of the creek, where Joe
has mis- horse in waiting, with which to
carry off the maiden.
But Black Eagle has followed them.
Being averse to having the girl-with
whom he is in love-run off with the
white man, he determines to kill the
latter He draws a knife and steals
upon him. The cowboy throws away
mis- pistol The fight between the two
goes on. There is a terrific struggle
for the knife. Black Eagle is about to
perforate Joe. when Lasca picks up the
gun the cowboy has discarded and
shoots the Indian.
And then they live happy ever after.
1t is a snappy little playlet, in addi-
ton to the picturesque features in the
shape of the snakes and the Indians.
While next Tuesday a number Of white
men will enact the part of the Indians,
it is the plan of the author Of the piece,
Theo A Patterson, to use real Indians
if the tryout is successful and the play
let goes on the Orpheum circuit.
The music for the act was written by
j. J. Mcclellan, and is q very interest
ing part of the playlet.

the false moral of the drama. Here as else- where, men find inspiring beauty in their surroundings and are strengthened by diff culties met and overcome. Their relation to God and their fellow men are not changed.
 To marked degree, however, the view of life is broadened, and while the pagan of the story builds on different foundation from that of the priest, who can assert that the work of one is less in consonance with Gods will than that of the other? or that ones inn polling instinct is purely commercial while that of the other is wholly charitable?

THE PRIEST AND THE PAGAN.

The following was taken from the San Francisco Weekly Examiner of Tuesday, May 4, 1909. To those inclined to read it crit ically, it is recommended that they first come to a clear realization that, so far as human understanding is able to penetrate it, truth is not an absolute-but a relative thing; it is something the existence of which is known to every mind, but the conception of which conforms to the capacity, tempera- ment, and mental training of the individual 1t is a quantity that can not be exactly measured; hence in pondering it the indi- vidual should remember that if he thinks at all his thoughts differ somewhat from those of any other person.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT AND THE LAW.

The fact that the verdict of the jury acquitting Eckengreen of the liquor selling charge is approved by practi cally unanimous community does not signify that lawlessness is or will be sanctioned
 The illicit liquor traffic is heartily con- demned by all right-thinking people. If there are some who might hesitate to divulge information they have acci- dentally acquired, because they wish to avoid the trouble and expense of ap- bearing in court, that is the worst that can be truthfully said of the average resident of this country.
 If occasions arise, there will be no difficulty in securing juries here who will do their full duty in suppressing crime.
 The public sentiment is only rebuke to white persons, missionaries, traders or what not, who try to accomplish their own selfish ends through connivance with irresponsible natives. In saying this it is not intended to impute wrong motives to Archdeacon Stuck: Ecken- green and his friends only claim that he was induced by false statements to make the complaint.
 Peculiar conditions make the Ecken- green case very important one. For some hundreds of miles up or down the Yukon river a few small trading posts and wood camps afford livelihood to a scant number of white men. Some of the men have worked diligently for years and have accumulated a little money; have provided comfortable hab- itations and apparently intend to re- main indefinitely, if not permanently. To get tangled up in the courts means ruin to any of them. Guilty or inno- cent, the result is crushing disaster. It would cost scarcely less than five hundred dollars to secure the services of a competent attorney from Fair banks, if one could be had at all; the court costs are enormous when the court is sitting two or three hundred miles from the mans home; and to his loss of time may be added the loss of his property while he is away.
 Aside from all considerations of wright and wrong, it seems to be poor policy to make the position of the few people

TWO MEN FACING
 DEATH IN FAR NORTH
AND A'JAPANEsE PRosPECToR BRAVE ARCTIC ICE.

Fairbanks, Alaska, May S.-Of those hard men who ''mush" the ice-ribbed trails of Alaska, which is champion? Who of them fares farthest down the blizzard in shortest time! Who does and dareS most in the death winds that whip the tundra!
 Two there are between whom this honor lies; one priest and one a pagan.
 One is Stuck, archdeacon of the Epis- copal diocese of Alaska.
 The other is Wada, Japanese, famed for his dog team and acclaimed for the lion heart that takes him alone into the bosom of the untrodden wastes.
 When the archdeacon hits the trail he goes as Gods man, to do the AL mighty's work, and 55 below is as 5 above. so long as duty's finger beckons.
 When Wada hooks up his dogs, it's the lure of the gold that calls him, and 55 below is as 55 above, so long as the hope holds in his breast that he will find the foot of the rainbow.
 winter ago the archdeacon, his sled laden with medicines and axes, breast ed the blizzard for thousand miles, to the tribe of the Gems du Large, whose home is near to the Arctic sea. With the medicine he drove out smallpox and made this tribe clean. With the axes he hewed logs for a chapel and a hospital, and to this, when the summer waters came, gentle women were sent, that the sin and sickness of this most northern tribe might be fought on it's own ground.
 When the man of the church was leaving Fairbanks Wada and his dogs were leaving Nome. Wada's sled was laden with salmon sides and pickaxes. He travelled a thousand miles into the upreaches of the Porcupine and across to the Arctic sea. There he prospected for gold and hewed logs for a cabin.
 Stuck, who sought souls, was sick of pneumonia and nearly lost an arm by freezing.
 Wada, whose quest was gold, had to boil his caribou-hide parka and share it with his dogs, to keep them from starving.
 Recent advices from the extreme north are that Archdeacon Stuck, la den again with medicines, has started on athree-thousand-mi mush that will take him to every tribe in his far-fiung Jurisdiction, and that every soul in the Fairbanks parish turned out to give him godspeed into the wilderness.
 If he comes back out of the Arctic, Archdeacon Stuck will bring with him Indians from all his northern tribes, that the world may see his charges and through sympathy congress be induced to do for them those things the church knows is sadly needed.

PROGRESS OF THE GAME.

totally a gamble as in this. There are no well-understood, fixed past condi- tions upon which to predicate future prospect. The problems of govern ment, of economic conditions having their sources far away and of those de- pendent on improved value nearer at hand, all of which enter into the situa- tion and render it complicated, leave but weak base upon which to calcu- late. With interior Alaska and with every individual in it, just now each box-and the percentage is weakening the players at the game.
 It is not good to habitually look at the world through smoked spectacles; neither is it wise to subject ones eyes too long to an artificial glare. In the na- ture of things, traffic on the Panama must decline-unless quartz gives every body an agreeable surprise. The worst feature of the situation lies in the fact that green men are doing the work in the big placer camp: the fine body of trained prospectors who once earned grubstakes in Fairbanks district are %o within striking distance, but to the coast and to the further outside. The chances for another big discovery are not nonresident, but they are reduced. Activitives up the Yukon are not of kind even to cut a large figure in river traffic The Innoko strike can not help this part of the country except to afford an asylum for limited number who leave, through necessity or choice. Even the furs, which formerly added con- siderable quota to the sum of the coun- try's resources, are reduced to a mini mum. And the rake-off is increasing with the progress of the game. Panama, with three hundred people, is paying approximately fourteen thousand dollars year in license taxes. The money go- ing in indirect taxes-internal revenue, protective tariff, fines, fees to federal officials, telegraph tolls-will afford diverting occupation for any one who desires to figure out just where he is at.
 Yet, with all this, (and a lot more lot worse), there are bright sides to the picture. Panama will be in the game to the end of the deal. The great country between the Yukon and the northern range is producing in spots; the nearby prospects are being followed with grim determination akin to despair. Panama will be in the game to the end of the deal, be the stakes high or low.
 Meantime, everybody has learned valuable lesson in economy. While people here have retrenched, they have built new houses and put the town at least as far to the front as circumstances warrant The raSult Shows that tbav

Passing over the style of composition em- ployed in the Examiners story-which may not appeal to persons here-and forgivng the writer any deviation from fact of which he may be guilty, and considering his pro- duction as merely intended to illustrate two prime forces that are at work here in this new and naturally attractive land, we can state the gist of his proposition something like this, without dealing with the personal aspects of the drama:
 The land is so forbldding and beset
 with dangers and discomforts that
 men who enter it are impeled by one
 or other of two strong passions which
 rule the wo1 Id: the love of God and
 poor sinful man, or the lust for gold
 and the power its possession would
 bring.

MORE OR LESS RIGHT.

In recent address TO medical stu
dents, Senator Depew said that "the
party with the greatest majority is
more right than the minority party"
That sounds almost as incontestable
as an axiom in geometry. The corol.
larry Is that the minority party is more
wrong than the party with the great
est majority. So. when we sit up
election nights to see which party
succeeded in buying the most votes.
we discover by that wrong what Is
right Thus. party lines are coin
cident with ethical distinctions. All
the most-right people are in the party
with the greatest majority. The not
so-right people are in the party with
the greatest minority. The very.
wrong people are in the smaller par
ties. This. as noted above, is axio-
matte.
But these distinctions are subject to
change without notice. For instance.
prior to the election of 1892 Senator
Depew was more-right After Cleve-
land was elected. he was not-so-right
Then he became more-right again.
To multiply words is unnecessary,
and might seem like unto individious
emulation.-Puck.
