Tho Great Express MonopoIv.

THAT public interest in the express
business should at last be awakened
will strike you as inevitable when once
its size. r~amifcations and peculiar
closeness to the daily life Of the people
are understood" writes Albert w. At
wood in the American Magazine, in a
very remarkable article entitled THE
Great Express Monopoly" Mr.. At.
wood shows that the express COM
panies. six of whom control 80 per cent
Of the country's business, have ceased
their tremendous privileges without
legislative interference, and although
they are common carriers by every
principle of law, common, judge-made,
and statute, they have carried on their
gigantic operations unhindered, charg.
ing what tariff seemed good to them.

any desired port of entry, exchange

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR

Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev.
alcnce and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders of
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting tho
sale at retail Of any preparation con-
tanning morphine or its salts except
upon a DOCTORS prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies.
according to members Of the board OF
health who were instrumental in OBJ
taining its passage. Caswell Mayo.
mi Of the druggists, said he had
made a canvass by mail Of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. of the victims of
drugs formed the habit as a result Of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only 8 per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

Great Baseball PLAY.

"What was the greatest baseball
play you ever saw" asked a friend of
Governor-elect John w. Tener.
The greatest play l ever saw" said
he, took place in an amateur game
on a town lot at Charleroi. The teams
were playing on a wet field and an
outfielder who wore a derby hat went
after a high fly. He came to a little
pond and taking his eye off the ball
made a jump to cross it. AS he was
leaping the ball struck him on the
head. went through the crown of his
hat and lodged there. The base run
e was out and the fielder had not
touched the ball with his hands. Can
you beat it?'-Washington Core

The First Americans.

In the beginning the Hohokam dwelt
IN the land. They were the first Amer.
lc~ans-before the Pilgrim Fathers, be-
fore the Spaniards, before the Indians.
They were the unknown people who
lived in the United States so long ago
that their IN is utterly lost. Out in
the southwest old tribes Of Indians like
the Zunis and Navajos, know nothing
of them save by vaguest tradition. The
Pimas and Papagos of southern Ari-
iona, who occupy part of the land that
once was theirs, know that another
ace possessed the country long ago.
More they cannot tell. They and their
fathers, for hundreds Of years, have
seen what we see-the scanty remnants
OF ancient villages. For the inhabitants
OF the villages they have no name ex-
cept h Hohokam-that is. the "Un-
KNOWN" The modern Archaeological de-
scribes the implements and pottery OF
more. for their houses are laid low.
Except In a few places, such as the
ruins OF asa Grande, near the ella
river, the YER walls have vanished.
Casa Grande itself may be the work
of q people later than the main body
Of the Hohokam. We can never know
the whole story. Yet little by little
We may learn its chief facts. Arizona
and the adjacent regions are full Of
utn unknown to scientists and even
to the people who live within q mile Of
them. They are so nearly obiterated
that there seems at first sight little to
repay study. Archaeology begins the
task of reconstructing the past; geoR-
raphy must finish It. Modern geography
enables US to determine the mode Of
life which must prevail, especially
among primitive peoples, under given
conditions of physical environment. IL
we can correctly picture the
phic environment of the H0hokam, we
may learn much Of the history OF our
earliest fellow countrvmen.
