BLOT THIS EVIL OUT.

The use of cocaine, morphine. opium
and other poisonous drugs of like char
acter. by people who have acquired
the habit is q vice that is assuming
appalling proportions. Each days po-
lice blotter, each days issue of the
newspaper, furnishes terrible evidence
OF the extent of the hideous and deadly
practise. 1t Is calmly stated that a
certain street near tho business CEN
ter OF this city Is the unsavory nest
of a regular colony of miserable
wretches who cannot live without their
regular doses OF the drug. Thu
ubiquitous reporter and the experience
ed patrolman speak OF this plague spot
in quite matter of fact fashion. and
such expressions as "fends." hop
heads" Shots" coke dope etc,
are becoming odiously familiar from
frequent use and repetition. 1t is said
that most of those who make this Sec
ton tleir rendezvous are more or less
confirmed victims, and that all ages,
colors. sexes and conditions are repre-
scented In the roll of slaves. One au-
thority AYERS that any night In the

only obtained on the order Of reput-
able physicians? If SO, then in the
name Of humanity let the personality

which there can be no politics, no

REDUCE THE SALOONS.

4 .Ha u .
The movement now pending in the
City Council to wipe out the dives In
Salt Lake by reducing the number of
saloons ought TO be. successful. Tie
measure was introduced by Mr.. Fern
strom, and 1t Is said has the endorse
ment of n considerable element in the
American party. In Los Angeles
and elsewhere. the total number Of sn
looms is never allowed to exceed GER
thin figure: similar limit ought to be
fixed here. the lower the better. But
why, In reducing the number. should
the license fee be reduced? With the
privilege OF selling drinks made a sort
Of monopoly among a few. why should
not the license be increased and largely
Increased, rather than cut down? It
is to be hoped the City Council will
approach the question with calmncss
and fairness, unswaycd by the strong
pro saloon element that exists in the
council itself.
