Two bills have been introduced by
Francis Burton Harrison. according
to the recommendations of the inter
national conference. One provides for
an internal revenue tax of 5000 a
pound on opium products in the Unit
ed States, while the other regulates
manufacture and distribution.
We are glad that our Washington
correspondent finds no political OPP
position to wiping out this evil We
feared there might be. If there is
nought but the opposition of those
who realize money from batting mems
souls, why delay and daily with it?
Were such project attempted in
Maine at the present time, there would
be political" opposition. Pattangall-
ism would oppose it as ''sumptuary'
law. Democratic leaders would de-
nounee it as a law that could not be
enforced. They would declare it a
"devilish meddle' with personal liber-
ty.
If there is no political opposition
will not Congress please take step
toward the elimination of habit-form-
ing drugs from cure-alls, soft drinks
and cigarettes? We wonder if the
booze trust. patent medicine trust, and
tobacco trusts can be elassed as "po-
liticaP' opposition. If SO. We fear for
the fate of the drug scalping meas
uras.
The same correspondent writes:
"Among the reasons which will UNI
deubtedly actuate Congress to do all in
it's power to fight the opium traffic is
that of national pride. This Govern
ment took the initiative in the world
wide movement against opium, and so
far, with the single exception of the
act of 1909 which by no means strikes
at the heart of the problem. this coun-
try has been tagging behind all other
nations which. at its request. under
took to cooperate to mitigate the opium
evil"
Many years ago Maine took the inia-
tive in fighting the hosts of King AL
cohol The movement has become
world wide, but traitors in the ranks
have almost halted the leader. Pride
did not figure with those who sold our
hopes for money. We are now lag
ging. as America lags in the drug cru
SADIE. If there is no "political' oppo-
sition, why?

They are slaves who fear TO speak

From the truth they needs must think
They are slaves who dare not be

Tired and hot but We like 1t, too,
That long, long trip to Grandpa's.
