Peace Hath Her Victories.

There is something more than

Mrs. Pankhurst Defeats Suffrage.

New 0fk Softd.1
TO Mrs Pankhurst and her wild
women belongs the credit of having
brought about the defeat i'll the House
of Commons of the bill granting the
suffrage to 6.000.00e women. BY their
mad antics they alienated the sympa-
thies of enough members To assure its
rejection The Irish members voted
against it rather than rim the risk of
another general election and the col
lapse of Home Rule. The Unionists
generally opposed the bill. even aVowed
believers in woman suffrage like Mr.
Balfour and Mr. Bonar Law refusing
To vote.
When the Reform bill was before the
House of Commons few months ago.
Mrs. Pankhurst proved her absolute
control over her band of militants by
keeping them quiet for the time being.
When contrary to the Government S
plan the woman suffrage amendment
was ruled out by the Speaker and a
test vote was made impossible, she un-
chained her furies, and ever since they
have piled their work of terrorism with
fire and bomb In the circumstances,
any other result than the defeat of
the Cancellation bin this week would
have been cause for amazement.
Now the only alternative open to
Mrs Pankhurst is to continue her cam
paign of violence against the Liberal
Government in the hope of driving it
from power and bringing in the Unicn-
ist party. which is anti-suffragist to
the core More irrational political
methods, from the suffragist stand
point could not be devised.

To Improve the Army.
fRpStpp Jpllrnah

Secretary Garrison holds with his
predecessor Mr.. Stimson. that Il few
large posts, preferably near populous
cities, would serve the army better
than the present system of posts scat
tered all over the country. The change
ne recommends has both efficiency and
economy to warrant it. Concentration
would. i'll the secretary's words, pro-
mote the practical training of brig
AIDES and divisions and their command
ers and staffs, which is so essential
for war purposes 1t would also lead
to desirable economy in the upkeep of
the army. The Recommendation again
brings forward a practical plan of i'm
proving army conditions, good as they
are even now, and at the same time of
eliminating posts maintained mainly
cut of respect for custom or politics.
Bu; we. can imagine that it will be
steutly opposed in Washington for the
very reason that ii involves the elimi-
nation of local influences.

troll the sale of opium and cocaln IN
the several states show that there is
a most extraordinary lack OF uni
formity. In many states antinarcctic
laws arc so comprehensive that were
an attempt made to enforce the law
literally il would result in the fine or
Imprisonment of practically all the re-
tail druggists. on the other hand.
there are some states in which the eX-
ccptions and privisos to the law are So
numerous as practically TO nullify all
efforts to control the traffic in mar
cotic drugs.
Although in most Of the states there
Is some legislation which aims TO
abolish the evil il is all of compara-
lively recent date, and has not kept
pace with the Increase in drug addlc-
ton Lack of federal control result
ing in various conflicting state laws,
or more properly speaking in giving
rise to such adversely of laws that
stringency in one state can be over
come by ordering by mail from anoth-
err state where the laws are less
stringent, Is undoubtedly the CHER
reason why our country compares SO
unfavorably with European countries
in respect to the prevalence of NOR
phin addiction.
Since 1867 when the various forms
of opium were separately enumerated
in the tariff schedule. there has been
an increase of 351 per cent. in the M
portation and consumption OF all
forms of opium, as against an increase
of 1873 per cent. in the population. In
the United States during the last ten
wears there has been an annual ini-
portation and consumption of opium
of over 100000 pounds. Austria
Hungary, with population of little
less than half that of ours, consumes
annually less than one hundredth THIS
amount of opium. Germany with
sixty smillion Inhabitants consumes
only about 1900 pounds annualiE,
while in Italy with thirty-three mif-
lions there is an annual consumption
Of only about COCO pounds The APP
palling discrepancy consists IN the
fact that the most reliable authorities
are agreed that one eigth the amount
of opium imported into the Cniiea
States would amply suffice for the
legitimate medical needs of our peo>
pie. This country manufactures INTO
morphin fully 100000 pounds OF the
annual importation, and 1t is estl-
mated that so per cent. Of the NOR
phin thus made is used by victims OF
the habit.
When we consider cocain the
situation is no less alarming. Roller
first introduced this drug to the medi-
cal profession in 1884. Thirteen years
later was enacted the first legislation
in the United States which strove to
prevent the indiscriminate sale of the
drug. In 1897 Illinois passed law
which made it unlawful to give or sell
any cocain or preparation containing
cocaine in any form except on pre-
,cription of physician or dentist.
The impracticability of all the legisla-
ion since that time is evidenced by
he fact that although .cocain is DRUG
which is utterly useless except in the
lands of the physician or dentist, and
hould never be prescribed for con-
inuous use under any circumstances
ven by them, there has nevertheless
,een such a steady increase in its use
hat it is now reliably estimated that
Is illegitimate use alone exceeds 1eo,-
100 ounces every year.
