ID .DOPEr FIENDs.

Armed with knife and revolver. a
negro dope" fiend ran smuck I'm the
streets Of salt Lake on Wednesday
morning and succeeded in seriously
wounding an inoffensive citizen be
fore he was subdued.
Statistics show an alarming In
crease IN the number Of unfortunate
creatures addicted to the use Of CO.
cainc. morphine. opium and other
Hfe-destroying drugs. There are col
onies Of these miserable wretches In
all the large cities.
Such being the case, it IS evident
that # is easy for them to procure the
dope" 81 they possess the price. In
other words. # is apparent that some
men make money by defying the law
and destroying both the bodies and
souls Of their customers.
The situation as regards the dope"
fiends is appalling. the more so be-
cause the ordinary citizen is becom-
ing accustomed 60 seeing these wrecks
Of humanity stumbling along the
streets and takes their presence as a
matter OF course.
Il IS time to call a halt on the man
who sells the stuff II the laws on
the subject are not sufficiently strong
they should be amended and these
moral lepers made to pay the penalty
OF their crime.
When a drug-crazed man runs
through the streets. cutting. slashing
and shooting. the conditions appear to
be sufficiently grave TO warrant In

NEW CURE FOR TErANUs.

German physician has discov-
cred a new treatment for tetanus
which is said to be all that is claimed
for it. John Smith, a boy IL years
old, has just been discharged COM
pletely cured, from a Philadelphia
hospital. where he was taken eight
weeks ago in a supposedly dying con-
dition.
The treatment used in effecting the
cure consisted of injections Of mag
nesium sulphate in conjunction with
the antitoxin treatment These injec-
tions are made into the spinal column,
where the fluid reaches the nerve
center. relieving the violent spasms
which usually cause death. In the
case Of Smith forty drops Of magne-
stun sulphate were injected at time,
the dose being gradually decreased
The ever glorious Fourth of July
being always followed by many cases
Of tetanus. ample opportunity will be
afforded the physicians all over the
country to test the treatment

STATEHOOD BILL PASSED.

President Taft seems to have the
situation in Washington well in hand.
and the present session OF Congress
viii be a record-breaker in respect to
the enactment Of needed legislation
The statehood bill is the latest
measure to go through the Senate
hopper. the House having taken ac-
ton some time ago. There was great
danger that the bill would fail owing
to the nature of the fight made
against fl. but the right finally pre-
vailed.
The President insisted that the
party promise be kept. and has
brought all concerned around TO his
way Of thinking. There are some diff
fereuccs to. be settled in conference.
where an agreement win no doubt be
reached in short order.
The western senators have stood
with the President all along in this
matter and the result is due in great
part to their earnest efforts.
After all the criticism that has been
leveled at the administration and both
houses Of Congress it would be ex-
tremcly difficult to point out where so
much good has been performed in the
anne length Of time.

A dry winter is usually followed by

exception to the general rule There
is less snow in the mountains than for
several years past, and consequently
less water in the irrigation reservoirs
