Right Course for Druggists.

At the twelfth annual convention of
the national retail druggists associa-
ton, an anti-suicide resolution was
adopted, not for application to the
druggists themselves, but intended to
restrict the sale of carbOlc acid to a
mixture of one-thrd each acid, glycer-
inc, and water. Such a preparation
might be taken by would-be suicides
in large quantities without causing
death. Another resolution having for
its object the suppression of the dope
fiend' demanded that proprietary
medicines, containing cocaine, choral,
morphine, codeine, and other drugs be
HUM, in his address, declared war on
the indiscriminate sale of liquors in
drug stores. and emphatically an
nounced that a reform was demanded,
and that such reform must be brought
about by the pharmacists themselves.
This is a move in the right direction.
feduerS o1 newspapers are constantly
surprised by the apparent ease with
which poisOns are obtanable, for sui
clue and murder. At present there Is
a strongly growing sentiment for a
stricter supervision of the sale of pis-
tolls and poison. Legislation is also
necessary to make it more difficult for
intending murderers and would be sui
cldes to procure deadly posOns, but the
most direct method of bringing this
about was suggested by the president
OF the druggists association. Perhaps
the most important recommendation
OF all was that pertaining to deleteri-
Gus drugs. Men pursue an Infamous
traffic in opium and morphine. They
supply the victims of the drug habit
regardless of sex, and even children
may buy drugs from these Degenerate
creatures. Wherever the blame rests.
1t is time that effective measures were
taken to suppress the entire traffic.

REPORT SUICIDE PREVALENT
AMONG RUSSIAN STUDENTS
Depression Follows Excitement
of 1905 and 1906

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. S.-The
prevalence of suicide in Russia at the
present moment is only on of many
symptoms of the depression which has
set in as a reaction after the fever
ish excitement of the years 1905 and
1906, and the fact that cases of sui
eide have become painfully frequent
among pupils Of secondary schools and
students of universities and other high
er educational institutions is perhaps
partly to be explained by the extra
ordinary intensity with which the gem
eral reaction both in temper and gov
ernment has manifested itself in
schools and colleges.
The estimated number of suicides in
Russian educational institutions was
in 1908, 342, and in 1909, 449, or 761 in
two years. The figures for the previous
years are 1904, twenty, 1905 forty-sev-
en-; 1906, seventy-one; 1907, 112. The fig
ures for various educational institu-
tions in 1908, 129; in 1909 1877 in sec
ondary schools 1908, 1872; 1909, 230; in
technical schools, 1905 thirty; 1909,
thirty-six; in elementary schools, 1908,
twenty; 1909 seventeen; type Of school
unknown, in 1908, one; in 1909 nine.
AS to the causes of suicide it is es-
timated that about a third Of the cases
have their origin in certain conditions
of school life.

them on q steamer which landed them

finally earning enough for passage TO
New York. A week ago they arrived
here, again penniless. The immigra-

could not land because they were
likely to become public charges.
The pleadings of the two daughters
availed nothing, and the only ques-

go back to Argentina or to Hamburg

which brings over an undesirable alien

POPE ORDERS SUPPRESSION
OF MODERNISM IN GERMANY
Catholic Associations Formed on
Broad Basis Condemned

ROME, Nov S.-Pius X has issued
instructions to the papal nuncio of
Munich to enforce severe measures of
suppression against modernism in Ger
speaking countries. His holiness
deplores the strides made by the move
ment among the Catholic laity of Aus
tria- Hungary and Germany, and ex-
plicitly condemns Catholic associations
constituted on a broad religious basis
as recently advocated by Cardinal
Fischer of Cologne in opposition to
Cardinal Kopp.
The pope, in supporting the latter,
forbids the formation of any other
than rigidly sectarian societies. He
enjoins that no doctorates in theology
shall henceforth be recognized in cases
where the studies are not conducted
on the scholastic system. All lectures
of Catholic professors must be sub
mitted to ecclesiastical censorship be-
fore delivery. Moreover, every Cath
olic newspaper asking to be recognized
must submit its intended contents to
the censor, while all Catholic journal
lists are required to take the same
oath of Reputation of modernistic
ideas which the pontiff has recently
prescribed for the seminary and uni
Versity professor.

NARROW ROADS AND WIDE
PARKINGS IN CITY PLAN
Engineer and Property Owners
Disagree Regarding Cole
grove Improvements

Proceedings for the improvement of
five streets in Colegrove will be pre-
sented to the council by the board of
public works today. The streets are
Willoughby, from Cole avenue to Vine
street; Olive avenue, from Cole to
Vine; Waring avenue, from Cole to
Vine; Lillian way, from Santa Monica
boulevard to Melrose avenue, and Ell
eanor avenue, from Vine to Town
send.
The proceedings now contemplated
are for the establishment of curb lines
defining the roadway 20 that the
streets can be improved under the
Vrooman act. In establishing the curb
lines on these streets the engineer s
department has provided for narrow
roadways and wide parkings, so that
the street can be beautified with large
shade trees.
Willoughby street is sixty. feet wide
and thirty feet is to be allowed for a
roadway and the fifteen-foot curb
lines will extend from Cole avenue to
Cover street.
On Olive avenue eight-foot returns
have been constructed at Cole avenue
and curbs eight feet from the prop
erty have been constructed west of
Cole avenue, making a thirty-four-foot
roadway. The engineer considers this
too wide for a purely residence street,
but does not intend to change it. But
east of Vine street Olive avenue is an
unimproved sixty-foot street Here
the roadway will be made twenty-five
feet and the rest thrown into parking
and idewalks.
Property owners on Waring avenue
have asked for a thirty-foot roadway
on that street, but the engineer con-
siders twenty-five feet wide enough
and says the property owners will
agree with him when they come to pay
the cost of the Vrooman act work, as
the five feet less will make the work
much less expensive.
Lillian way property owners want a
thirty-five-foot roadway on that
street, but the engineer recommends
thirty feet AS Lillian way is a sixty
foot street fifteen-foot sidewalks and
parl1ings will be provided.
Eleanor avenue is only forty feet
wide, and the engineer recommends a
twenty-four-foot roadway as ample
for all the traffic the street requires.

Property Owners Oppose Grading
in East L. A. District

Part of the East Los Angeles i'm

ings for this Improvement were begun

and otherwise improving of tWenty-siX
streets and avenues in East Los An

But seven streets have been elimi-
mated by the board of public works
because a majority of the frontage is
opposed to the necessary change in
grade. The board will today ask the
council to abandon proceedings for the
following streets:
Avenue Nineteen from Albion street
to Pasadena avenue.
Avenue Twenty from Albion
street to Hayden street
Avenue Twenty-Five from Avenue
Twenty-four to Hayden street.

POLICE WAIT TO ARREST
j S. ATTORNEY GENERAL
Error Almost Gets WickerSham in
Police Court for H.
legal Voting

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-By a for
tunate turn of affairs, United states
Attorney General George w. Wick
ersham escaped arrest and arralSn-
ment in a police court today.
Through either the ignorance or
oversight of some one connected with
the registry verification system, the
law granting federal employees the
right to vote from their last place OF
residence, no matter how long they
have been absent, was ignored, and
because Mr.. Wickersham was not
found at SO East Fifty-frst street,
where he had lived before he went TO
Washington, his name was formally
placed on the challenge list and po-
iiceman waited for him so that he
might be arrested if he appeared to
vote.
Then State Superintendent of Elec-
tions William Leary learned that
after Mr.. Wickershan's name and
address appeared the note. In federal
employ" This, superintendent Leary
said, should be sufficient to have Mr..
Wickersham's vote accepted, and for
tunately the cabinet officer did not
appear at the polling place before Mr..
Leary heard of the error.
