drugs is increasing more rapidly
than is population, says the st. Paul
Dispatch. The added demand is not
to supply the requirments of more
population, but to satisfy the
cravings of an increased number of
victims of the death-dealing drugs.
We might very we'll follow the ex-
ample set by Great Britain and
China. They have agreed to limit
the production of opium IN China
and it's importation from India.
The change is to be brought about
gradually, a reduction of ten per
cent being made for each year until
the opium evil is eliminated.
1t probably is not desirable nor
practicable for the United States to
attempt to stop importation OF hab-
it-forming drugs. Both opium and
cocaine, as well as other less dan.

But the supply should be limited tc

Morgantown,s Downfall.

Alack and alas! From it's much
heralded and self-praised pinnacle
of superior culture, the fair city Of
Morgantown, whom it's residents,
particularly the state university
professors, delight to call 1.-The
Athens of West Virginia." has fallen
into state of barbaric savagery
characteristic of conditions that
prevailed in the medieval period.
News dispatches have Just been
telling the world, to the shame and
disgrace of Monongalia's capital,
that a bridegroom. on arriving
home there with his bride from their
honeymoon trip, was handcuffed by
a crowd of his idiotlc friends and
carried to their home in South Park
IN an automobile. This form of saw
age cruelty was recorded as "tho
most rouslng reception ever accorded
to young married couple in this
city," which is the saving grace to
its hitherto reputed refinement.
There is not much to be said
about these fools who manacled the
bridegroom save to classify them
with the thugs and hoodlums of the
larger cities who now and then en-
gage in riots requiring the service
of the police, and to regret that
they escaped subsequent punish-
ment at the hands of the victim.
Such imbeciles ought to be punished
under authority of a statute with as
drastic a penalty for the playing of
wedding FRANKS as the present John
son anti-weapon law imposes for the
carrying a pistol, Or, it might
not be going bit too far to say
that such assaults ought to made
felonies with the provision that
lunacy proceedings should first be
instituted to determine whether the
violators should properly be sent TO
state insane asylum.
But, the odium that now attaches
to the much-mooted "cultcha" Of
Morgantown by reason of its down
fall is a matter of more profound
roget and suggests the immediate
necessity of sociological investisa-
ton.

Democrats Demoralized.

1t is true as the Grafton Sentinel
says that the Cor idea has democrat
lied Democracy on the defensive.
Every mention Of the name of the
grand jurist of Harrison county
stirs up a hubbub in the ranks OF
the Democracy, and they view with
alarm the clarion call OF the West
Virginia Republicans to the able
leader OF the sos to take up the
command and lead united party to
IA magnificent victory next year.
Judge Cor may not have the fire
and force of former days; he may
not have the hale and hearty health
to Withstand the fury of the coming
conflict; he may lack the strength
and stamina, but he does not lack
the loyalty of the Republicans of
West Virginia, nor even that OF an
army of Democrats, knowing of the
clean life he has led, of his pure
public career and of his singular
ability, who would rally to his
standard.
Last evening-as late as that
two local leaders of the Democracy
in Taylor county expressed their
fear of Cor. They were of the be-
lief that GoT as the leader of the
party in the state next
year would mean their Waterloo.
And the fear of these two Taylor
Democrats is the fear of the Democ-

to reflect the prevailing sentiment
of all. And in answering the ques-

1t may be thought by some that

exposition believe that they will

will embody all the best and most

the Spanish Renaissance, this

the leading architects in the world

Spread of Drug nahit

While Great Britain and China
are getting together on a treaty for
the stamping out of the opium trar-
fic in China Uncle Sam would do
well to give serious attention to the
danger that threatens him. The
United States consumes approxi-
mately 100000 pounds of opium
each year. A conservative estimate
fixes 100000 pounds as the limit
on all that is needed in this coun-
try for medicinal purposes. We are
using nearly 100000 ounces OF
cocoaine each year. although 1t is
claimed that 10000 is all for which
we have any Legitimate use.

The Food Question.

Herr Bebel, German Socialist
leader, addressed the Social Demo-
cratic Congress at Jena, remarked
that the time was coming when the
question of the price OF the neces-
saries of life would be the cardinal
one to an enormous majority of the
Germans.
1t needs no prophet to see what
Herr Bebel predicts, says the New
ark, N. j., Star. The whole world
of humanity travels on its stomach.
Food is the first essential of life.
More or less food is a question that
controls the destinies of mankind.
The food question brought on the
great French Revolution, and 1t is
an ever-present question in all coun-
tries. We have it in the United
States in an active form just now,
but it can not become as acute as in
Europe, because we are not depend
ent upon other nations for our food
supplies. Germany has to import
vast quantities. If the foreign sup
ply should fail or the German har-
vests be destroyed, if the cost of
war should necessltate higher taxes
on the necessaries of life, the result
would be supreme crisis.
A population in Europe would not
sit down in stoical calm and die OF
starvation like the Hindoo. Z Gov
eminent may regulate food prices
when there is plenty and make them
reasonable. 1t can not regulate
famine prices, and it would be swept
away by a people hungering for
food and unable to get food.
