Cleveland Moffett in an article in
the May Hampton's Magazine points
out the danger of cocaine in soft
drinks. Mr. Moffett shows the depths
to which cocaine fiends fall and de-
cares that it is the most dangerous
drug used.
Here is plain warning from DR.. L..
F. Kebler, chief of the division of
drugs in the Government Bureau of
Chemistry: Attention is directed to
the danger of soft drinks containing
caffeine, extract of kola nut and ex-
tract of coca leaf, the active principle
of the two latter being cocaine
According to DR.. Kebler, scores of
soft drinks, dangerously medicated,
are sold at soda water fountains as
stimulating and refreshing summer
drinks without the slightest intima-
tion TO purchasers that their stimulat
ing and refreshing qualities come
from cocaine, a drug that produces
one of the worst habits known to the
medical profession.

So Says George M. Reynolds, President of
the Continental and Commercial National
Bank of Chicago

Chicago, April 22.-George NJ.
Reynolds, president of the Continen
tai and Commercial National bank,
declares that public regulation of
public service corporations has come
to stay Mr.. Reynolds regards gov
ernmental supervision as inevitable
and necessary. Conservatism would
be fostered, he said, by the publicity
necessarily attending supervision of
railroads and public utility corpora

ton control than did President Theo
dore n. Vail of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph company in his
declaration recently that public con.
troll of public utilities has come and

demonstrated that this supervision
should stop at control and 'regula-
ton and not manage operate nor
dictate what the management or op-
Grafton should be beyond the require
ments of the greatest efficiency and
economy" said Mr.. Vail. This state
ment by President Vail referred par
ticularly to the class known as pub

lation in entering territory which
was supposedly barren, great Sec
tons OF the west would not have
been opened and the stocks of those
roads would not be paying dividends.
A board of supervision, a state body,
whatever plan was adopted, could
not possibly absorb all the data, fig
ures, plans and estimates of which
every new railway project necessi-
tates the mastering. There is wide
difference between supervision and
control, but this big feature of the
problem will be whipped out and
solved in time.
I'VE Americans are pretty thor
ough in our method of adjusting
economic conditions; our only trou-
BILE is that we are likely to go off
half-cocked. We sometimes fail to
discriminate.
The getting rid of what is bad in
Wall street will be accomplished by
intelligent supervision, but in the
discussion of corporations we should
not condemn the good with the bad. |
"The dovetailing of the state laws
and the method Of national super
vision into one harmonious, intelli |
gent whole, is sure to come The
only question now before us is the
proper education Of the American |
public to the real needs of the situa-
ton. Hysteria and soap box oratory
must be supplanted by intelligent
reasoning; when this is accomplished |
ali the petty details of difference
will be swept away and the big util.
ity corporations will be properly and
conservatively supervised and the !
day of publicity in big corporations

its control a quarter of billion dol
lars and five times a year must let
the public know through its published
statements just what it is doing. In
addition to these examination by
federal bank examiners there is an
examination by the Chicago Clearing
House and a voluntary public state
ment by the bank itself.
Supervision of the public utility
corporations would mean publicity.
Publicity necessarily insures greater
conservatism. l am convinced that
reasonable national supervision is
not far off; these statewide discus
sions, laws and theories which are
interesting every. thinking American
today are a natural development in
our financial history. Sentiment is
slowly and surely forming along that
line; those of us who have studied
the problem know that public utility
corporations will be supervised by
the government eventually.
The fine dividing line between
supervision and control is where the
best thinkers will have to get to-
gether. 1t would not seem right for
the federal authorities to say to the
railroads just what they can do year
in and year out that would be TAX
ing away from the railroads the very
power which has made them the

There is Danger of Cocaine in Soft Drinks

Is a well known fact that many fac

Parents, as rule, withhold tea and

agents in soft drinks, they unwitting-

As an indication of the danger of
young people acquiring the cocaine

with letting millions of dollars go to

ternal revenue taxes on tobacco. He
attacked the pending wool tariff re-

claring that their plea of needing

''If this country taxed tobacco as
England or France does. we could
close the doors OF all the customs

Mr.. warburton said the Democrats
had been afraid 10 reduce the duties
on wool any further for fear OF the
consequences at the next election if
the woolen industry is prostrated by
removal OF protection. He said the
Democrats had been compelled 10
adopt the Republican doctrine Of pro-

ground OF needing revenue.
