The Cocaine Peril.

putnam sun.
Some time ago we called attention
to the continued growth Of the CO.
caine evil IN 'he South, especially
among negroes, and gave an account
of the effect Of the drug on mind
body and character. We also called
attention to the fact that the traffic
in the natural product from which
cocaine is manufactured was entire
ly unrestricted.
The nation is waking up to the
extent Of the peril and at the recent
session Of Congress a bill was pre-
scented which proposed to place the
importation and sale Of all narcotic
drugs under the direct control and
supervision Of the Federal govern
ment. 1t failed of adoption, but
much interest was aroused and il
will come later. The evil must be
checked and that in the near future.
The New York World is an ardent
advocate Of the measure and states
its position as follows:
1.-THE illegal use of opium, cocaine
and morphine in the United States
is steadily Increasing in spite Of all
efforts to suppress it. So good an
authority as DR.. Hamilton Wright,
an attache Of the State department,
who was an American delegate to
the international opium conference,
estimates that of the 100000 pounds
Of opium annually imported into the
United States fully three-fourths is
used illegally, and that a like share
Of all the morphine brought into the
country is consumed by drug fiends.
As for cocaine, DR.. Wright declares
that while 10000 ounces are con-
sumed yearly, only $4,000 ounces are
used legitimately.
DR.. Wright's figures reveal an evil
which, next to alcoholism is the most
prolific propagation of vice and crime
in this country. The illegal use Of
narcotic drugs in such enormous
quantities is possible only under con-
ditions which permit Of their illegal
sale. Pure food and drug act for
bidding the sale of patent medicines
containing narcotic poisons reaches
only a small branch Of the evil.
What is needed is government super
vision over the importation and sale
Of those substances in all forms and
conditions, crude, refined and mixed.
Such a measure is the only thing
that will throttle a degrading vice
which every year claims more vic
tins than any pestilence that ever
swept the country"

Notice of Next Primary.

There will be a second primary
held under the same rules, at the
same time and places and with same
managers as the first one, next Sat-
urday, August 9th, in which the
following candidates will run:
J. V. Trull and B. F. Black, for
cotton weigher at Nashville;
C.B. Barden and Luther Williams,
for cotton weigher at Monroe;
j. L. Stewart and M. G. Long, for

and Cannon out Of the party, be-
cause Aldrich and Cannon and the
special interests they represent will
not permit the President to have a
denomination if be tries it. Mr..
Taft knows which side his bread is
buttered on.
Furthermore, there is no reason
for discord. Taft, Aldrich and Can
non, and Ballinger, too, are all work
ing to the same end. Their views
are in harmony on big questions.
No newspaper man can be here in
Washington and know his business,
and not know that Taft, Aldrich and
Cannon are consolidated in great
political firm, and that this oligar-
chy has never had any serious dis
sension.
The three men are constantly pay
ing each other compliments. 1t was
just a short while ago that Taft eu-
logized Aldrich to the skies and re-
ferred to Uncle Joe" as being in the
Abraham Lincoln type Of statesmen.
Taft, Aldrich and Cannon, and es-
pecially Taft and Aldrich, can have
no break. They must sink or swim
together.
Roosevelt VS.. Taft.
Roosevelt will not indorse Taft or
the Payne-Aldrich law, in the opin-
ion of the writer. There never has
been any doubt on this point in my
mind, and | have expressed the view
repeatedly in dispatches since March
4, 1909. But Roosevelt will indorse
Lodge, tool of Aldrich and special
Senate representative Of the tariff
trusts, railroads and other New Eng
land corporate interests. Nor do |
expect to hear of Roosevelt cam
paigning for such genuine progress
sives as LaFollette. Roosevelt is
playing for the presidency, and is
jealous of LaFollette's popularity.
At this stage Taft appears to stand
better chance Of hauling down the
next Republican presidential nomi-
nation than does T. r. This is be-
cause Taft stands right with the
great corporate interests Of the Unit
ed States, and they control absolute
ly the Republican machine. Roose-
welt was turned down in New York
because the machine politicians
know that Roosevelt is to be an in
surgent. They feared that if they
permitted him to be even a tempo
rary chairman he might take advant-
age of the opportunity to weaken
machine rule. The fight may be ex-
pected to be intensely interesting
from now on. Keep close eye on
the political checker board, because
a few intimations may be let drop
which Will show who IS really IN
control of the government Of this
country.
What's This?
The Payne-Aldrich law is not now
bringing in sufficient revenue to run
the government, reports from the
Republican press bureau to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The tariff
law, the corporation tax, internal
revenue receipts, and all other sour
ces of revenue combined, failed by
1904, S42S 81 Of producing sufficient
funds to run the government during
the first fifteen days OF August.

Is Carrie In Our Midst?

There is a persistent rumor that

fact that on a single night this week

able color to this report.

Especial TO THE TrMEs.)


Indiana Harbor, June lit appears
that there is some money in Indiana
Harbor, which isn't working. and there
is plan on foot to put it to
soon as practicable. Last evening be-
fore the Commercial club 1t was
ported that the treasurers OF a nu---
Ter of defunct clubs, held funds which
if put together, would amount to a
considerable sum. 1t was proposed that
the said treasurers be called upon with
a proposition to pool the moneys, and
with the total build O public drinking
fountain, or something else of a public
nature, which would benefit the people
of Indiana Harbcr. committee was
appointed to look into the matter. and
decide, if possible, upon a satisfactory
disposition of the funds rendered use
less by the Reorganization of the
clubs to which they once belonged.
The meeting of the Commercial club
last night was a busy one several re-
ports being brought in by the commit :
tees appointed to look after various
matters. and considerable new business
being brought UP. The entertainment
committee has something up it's sleeve
which was not ready for publicity
| however, but which will doubtless re-
| suit in a noteworthy function at nc
| distant date

COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL
PUT MONEY At WORK

The committee on public improve
ment reported that they had received
answers to their communications from
the various railroad companies whose
re ads cross Michigan avenue, regard
ing the condition of the said crossings.
The Lake Shore admitted that a few
planks were loose in its crossing, and
promised to repair the damage soon
The B. & o. crossing is in fairly good
shape, but the T., J. & f. is said to be
in bad condition and as the committee
got satisfaction from this railroad
company. it is proposed to get after
them through the city council. Walter
j. Riley, on behalf of TIE Indiana Har-
Dor Belt line, made the state that he
had doubt that if the club would
send a communication to F. c. Sey-
mour, the chief engineer of the road
that the latters crossing. both at Chi
| cago and Forsyth avenues would be
| speedily repaired.
Mayor Schlieker submitted his report
regarding the visit of the committee OF
which he was chairman to the good
roads convention, the report being
/ practically the same as the sub
nlitted to the convention itself, anC
| published heretofore in this paper.
A number of other matters came up
| the gist of which will be found else
| where in these columns.

until July 1st simply to complete the
census in Gary.
There are $500 enumerators in the
United States and of this number 225

my supervision. The task in Gary has
not been an easy one because the con-
ditfons are different than in any other
city, l believe, in the state. / am up
against a hard proposition, but I am
going to stick through 1t to the end.
No citizen in Gary, not even your
mayor is more interested in the fact
that Gary gets an honest count than 1.
If 1t is necessary I will come to Gary
and pitch camp to see that you get an
honest count, but / do not believe you
are in SO bad shape you think you
are.
Done Enumerators An Injustice.
Il think that you have done your
enumerators an injustice for they have

tions that do not exist in any other

Grated if it is within his power. Out

/ Mr.. Doran closed his talk by asking
for the cooperation of the citizens OF
Gary and said it was their duty to see
that every person enumerated.

SEWERAGE
SYSTEM TO
Be BUILT

The fact that the contract for the
large new sewer to be installed in the
new sub division of the Gary Land
company, running west from Fillmore
street to. An1bridge street has been sub
let to Mike Quinn. a Chicago con-
tractor, is a certain indication of the
fact that this subdivision will be open
ed this year.
VIII. ne "A Big Affair.
Work upon the sewer will be COM
menced soon and 1t is estimated that
nearly ten thousand feet will be laid.
The sewer will range in size from two
feet to eight feet and will be built of
vitrifed tile and concrete. The main
sewer will be laid in the alley north
Of Fifth avenue as far as Ambridge
street and will run along that street to
the Calumet river into which it will
empty. At this point giant buttress
will be built.
Mr., Quinn, the contractor, has had
a large experience a constructor
of sewers and was interested In the
installation of practically the whole Of
the South Chicago sewerage system
The estimated length of the main sewer
from Fillmore street to Ambridg'
street is about fifty eight hundred

FOUR HUNDRED MEN IN BIBLE
CLASS, AIM OF PRESBYTER|ANS

It's present members comprise stu
dents, laborers, physicians, lawyers,
clerks, mechanics, engineers and also
the natives of many countries. Europe.
Asia and North and South America are
all represented.
Owing to the fact that the indus
tries in Gary have necessitated a large
amount OF Sunday work UP to the pres
emit time it has not been judged feas-
ible to push the class to any large ex-
tent, but the recent order of Judge
Gary, wisely curtailing work on Sun
day to as large a degree as possible,
has enabled many men who have
Hitherto lacked the opportunity to at
tend Sunday morning services to dc
so now.
For those who still have to work or
Sunday there will be many opportuni-
! ties of meeting during the week al
night. The officials of the indiana
! Steel company have long recognized
the fact that the lack of social OPP
portunities and the means of proper
enjoyment have driven many brigh
and promising young men from thei
: employ and those who have been ques
toned regarding this very importan
move of the Presbyterian Bible elias
are enthusiastic about II as mean
of making Gary more pleasant for tn
young men who come here.
During the coming week a socis
and musical evening will be given to
large number of the young men an
women of the city, and in the week
to follow a number of other enter
tainments and lectures will be provide,

BOOST FOR INDIANA HARBOR.
The plant Is located just east of In
diana Harbor and the decision to make
such extensive developments at the
local plant will mean much to the
people of that city and to the whole
Calumet region.
Originally a program was decided
upon by which the plant was to be
doubled in capacity. However the in
crease was to be from 10000 barrels to
1870 900 barrels this year and from $4,000
barrels to $4,000 barrels next year.
Now the demand for Universal Port

lions that 1t will be necessary to double
the capacity of the Burlington plant al
once.

To have a Bible class of at least four
hundred young men within the year. is
the ambition of the Rev. Fred E.
Walton. pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church of Gary. and A. r. Mac
Arthur the leader and teacher of the
class. Mr.. Macarthur is the superin-
tendent of the Americas Tin Plate COM
pany. and has had a large experience
in church work He has made the
class a success from its Initiation.
Within the very near future num-
Der of socials will be given by the
members of the class to which several
hundred of the young men of Gary
viii be invited and all the young Ia
dies available. 1t is felt that this class
WIFI fill a long filled want and the
young men who are already members
and those who have been approached
are enthusiastic about the outlook.
Probably no other city in the coun-
try affords the opportunity for the
greater success of such a class than
Gary. The young men who form this
class can be made a power in the city
spiritually. physically and from a civic
standpoint In connection with the
class there will be literary and de-
batting societies, an athletic gymnaStft
department, and it is also expected tina
the men will put several football anC
track teams into the field during the
coming season.
Owing to the large number of mer
who have signified their intention o
joining this class and the widely di
vergent views and tastes they will hav
the class will branch out in many di
rections Among the many differen
organizations which are already moote'
in connection with it a Shake
speare society, Current Events clut
Glee club and purely social organi
cations.
The class is the first organization i
the city of any magnitude outside o
the clubs and societies, to make an
effort for the social benefit of a.
classes of young men. Although unde

Then they learned that the census
work has not been completed and the
reasons that many of the protesters
have not been enrolled is because the
enumerators have not reached them
yet. Within five minutes Mr.. Doran
had his audience with him. His clear
logic dismantled all of the oratory and
countless newspaper columns that led
to the cause of the meeting.

feet along Ambridge street to the river.
A number of lateral sewers will also
be laid from the alley north of Fifth
avenue to and across Fifth avenue in
order to take care of the sewage south
of the avenue when that section of the
subdivision shall be laid out
1t is said by those who are in a
position to know that the whole of this
sub division, nearly mile square. will
be curbed and the side walks laid this
year. While no definite plans have
been made as yet it is understood that
the houses to be erected for the &C

The two hundred Gary citizens who
gathered last evening in Assembly hall
pursuant to call issued by Mayor
Knots to discuss the reports of in
competent census taking in the Steel
City told their troubles for an hour.
Then a quiet but aggressive little
gentleman arose and asked for few
words. He was Supervisor Francis
Doran of Michigan City. The super
visor told the gentlemen that they need
not be alarmed
