The alarming proportions which the
drug habit has attained could not be
emphasized more than by the fact the
dealers in drugs have themselves
seer the necessity of taking steps to
curtail It. At q recent meeting of the
Pennsylvania branch of the American
Pharmaceutical association a resolu-
ton was passed setting forth the duty
OF the profession in this regard and
putting the members on record as
against the selling of harmful drugs
for improper purposes. 1t was agreed
that such drugs should be sold only on
the prescription of a physician and
that no such prescription should be re-
filled without the order of the physi-
clan.
The druggists have 1t within their
power to eradicate the drug evil If
they will. The conditions under
which harmful drugs are manufac-
tured and sold to the retailer are such
as to make it a much simpler problem
than the curbing of abnormal appe-
tiles for strong drink. The limitations
upon the persons who can sell drugs
are of a character to preclude the sale
of any considerable quantities in a sur
reptitious manner. Eliminate the un-
scrupulous and over-greedy druggist
and the problem is more than half
solved,

Our old friend Bryan seems to be reced-

that leadership upon which his fructiferous
newspaper and his c%hautauqua lecture
tours depend for their opulence. This tariff
discussion in congress is playing the very
deuce with his control of even the timid
kinds who for so long have been believing
Bryan in obedience to the prevailing super
stition at home and to the counsels OF
but the precipitation of the tariff con-
troversy has changed many things.
There was no reason under the old tariff
why they should not play the fool to their
hearts content. Their actual interests
were safe, and they thought It a good time
to speed the bagatelle; but things are dit

Breaking Away from BRYAN,


Evidence is accumulating that the
absolute sway which Bryan has exer-
cised over the democratic party is
weakening. The breaking away of
Congressman Fitzgerald and his Tam
many colleagues is not surprising or
perhaps even unexpected In the Bryan
camp. New York democrats have
exhibited any love for Bryan,
either In conventions or at the polls.
But any revolt against his leadership
to be effective must come from sec
tions where the democracy can deliver
electoral votes with reasonable GER
tainty, 1t is to the south, therefore, to
which his opponents in the north must
turn for an effective force to end his
sway.
Among the twenty-three who fol-
lowed Mr.. Fitzgerald In his action con-
corning the house rules were several
from the south. Representative Clark
Of Florida. not one of the twenty
three, in the debate on the tariff bill
boldly declared his independence and
said he would no longer follow in the
populistic path of Bryan. Congress-
men from Georgia, Tennessee. Louis
lana and Virginia have also broken
away. Hoke Smith of Georgia. in a
recent speech in Buffalo. proclaimed
the demand of the south for a new
leader. The anti-Bryan sentiment II
spreading among democratic leaders
and all that is lacking now to make Il
a potent force is a man strong enough

made to restrict the business and the OBJ

means employed is the limitation of the
area OF opium cultivation. To make this
! reduction In cultivation effective the guam
tity to be drawn from the country Is to be
reduced annually, and sale to women and
children prohibited. The chief obstacle 10
the reform is the difficulty Of suppressing
smuggling. The price Of opium in Hong
Kong is double that Of China. consequently
the Chinese smuggler turns a trick as
smoothly as Bret Harris creation. Gov
ernor Lusard estimates that 14,465 persons
frequent Hong Kong's opium joints an
nually, and argues that moderation must
be exercised in suppressins the evil.
