NEGROES SELL DRUGS

CHARITIES SECRETARY

Joseph Logan, secretary Of the AS
ISOLATED Charities, Is authority for the
statement that Atlanta is sWarming
with negro cocaine peddlers who will
sell the drug TO anybody who can dig
up 90 cents.
Logan bases his assertion upon the
information which daily comes to the
charities office from chronic cocaine
users who apply there for treatment.
A short time ago said Logan, today,
"a man came to us for treatment as a
drunkard and we helped him. Yester-
day this same man came into the office
and announced that he was now using
cocaine. lie said that he could buy the
drug anywhere if he had 80 cents. The
negro peddlers won't sell for less than
that"

HIS HOME
Colonel, in Seattle, Hopeful
of Throwing Ex-SeCretary
Into Discard"

SEATTLE WASH, Sept 10.-Into
this reactionary stronghold came Colo
mel Roosevelt today AS the train neared
the city, the ex-president remarked that
he was hopeful of putting down the
machine of western Washington and
throwing X-Secretary Ballinger, leader
of the Taft forces, into the discard.
Roosevelt expressed himself as ex-
tremely satisfied with the situation in
eastern Washington. His stay yester-
day in Spokane convinced him that the
Progressive party in that part of the
state is going to make a clean sweep.
I'm no prophet. but I'm told that
the Progressives will carry Washington
in November" observed the colonel
mo doubt exists as to the eastern part
OF the state. l think We can pull the
western part with us"
The colonel reached here at o'clock
this morning after an all-night ride
from Spokane. He was greeted by
great crowd, waiting to see him.
Vote, He Urges Women.
He went direct to the county conven.
ton of Progressives. where he talkeo
on the issues of the fight Abiding to
the suffrage of women. the eX -presi-
dent said he wanted to impress the
women voters of Washington with the
necessity of using the ballot
You women here in Washington
have the right to vote" he said, turn
ing to the women delegates at the con-
vention. IF the women fail to exer-
else the ballot privilege, they show that
they do not regard the suffrage as of
practical value. 1t is not enough to
fight for the right to vote. You must
go to the polls and fight for the princi-
pies of government"
The colonel felt impelled to give this
advice because of the apathy shown in
many parts of Washington by women
who failed to register. He urged that
a complete registration be got out, so
we may smash the bosses"
