DRUG HABIT

It is astonishing to learn that drug .6ends in Sing Sing prison do not ex- berience any difficulty in purchasing khe drug from some of the keepers Iwho make money on the transaction and that first term prisoners are taught in the prison to use drugs. |Outside of the members of the po- Elice departments in various cities no Iona realizes how serious has become |the drsfg habit. It is really becom- ling wdfse than the drink habit Tor |the reason that those addicted to the latter have their periods of sobriety when they will work and rid their |system of some at least of the effects of drink, but the drug fiend is never satisfied unless he is under the inS |huence of the drug and while he IS |under it's effects he cares for nothing else.
 The law has endeavored to put 8 stop to the surreptitious sale of drugs; but very little if any progress is being made but what can be expected when the keepers of state prison sell It to prisoners and if they arc not physi- cal wrecks when they enter the insti- tution they are we'll on towards 1t when they leave? Those who sell drugs without permission are being severely punished by the courts when scanght but those who use the drugs do not experience any great difficulty in supplying themselves with 1t. Here in New Britain there are young people as well as some old ones who are so completely under its influence that they are gradually becoming stupid. They are to be seen on the street at all hours and their appearance easily betrays their physical condition. The police know them and try as they will they find 1t difficult to ascertain where they get their pills.

So, not caring to dis- appoint the young man, who was likable chap, he decideH he must try to answer the very perpleXing ques- ton. But it was evident that he did not ponder long, and he afterWard ln- sisted that he believed his reply would be a good joke on the reporter, Tor his brief note read: Just hit 'em where they ain't.'

"RIGHTS" IN AMER
 ICA.

JAPANESE "RIGHTS" IN AMElt-
 ICA.
 The possibilities wrapped up in our dispute with Japan give uncommon earnestness to the comment of our press on the published correspond ence between the two governments .n the Californian Anti-alien land law. The Literary Digest says that some ob- servers see in the Japanese situation difficulties more serious than those we are confronting in Mexico. while others express the hope that the dis- agreement will be calmly adjusted be- fore The Hague Tribunal of arbitra- ton. Many disclose tone of resent ment toward Japan. as for instance, the Baltimore Sun, which calls this matter of Asiatic immigration tick fish question and not one concerning this country alone. It cites the re- fusal of the Cana dian government to permit the landing of shipload of Sikhs from India, although they arc British subjects. and suggests that when Japan gets through quarreling with us about the problem, it may continue with Canada, Australia, ard New Zealand, and wind up with Great Britain, it's ally, which must be held more or less responsible for the con- duct of its colonies. No less down. right in it's attitude is the New York World, which professes to discover in the correspondence some Japanese subtlety and great deal of Japanese aggressiveness and error, while 1t maintains that Japan Is contending not against the California Anti-alien land law of 1913. but against it's own treaty with the United States of 1911. Still, remarks this newspaper, as 1t commands the administrators con- ship when it says land laws. it should be compelled to say so, and it declares that all Viscount Chinda says about treaty rights, the rights of property, and good neighborhood may be re- duced ultimately to the real griev- ance that the Japanese are denied American citizenship.
 The California press pointed out when the land law was passed that the treaty gave the Japanese no right to own or lease land for agriculture, 1sYYf nY7yx f0Y {o1 This part of the treaty says that: The citizens or subjects of each of the high contracting parties shall have liberty to enter, travel. and reside in the territories of the other, to carry on trade, wholesale and retail, to own, lease and occupy houses, manu- factories, warehouses, and shops, to employ agents of their choice, to lease land for residential and con- mercial purposes, and generally to do anything incident to or necessary for trade upon the same terms as native citizens or subjects, submitting them- selves to the laws and regulations there established.
 The rumor that Secretary Bryan hopes to settle the dispute by submit ting 1t to arbitration at The Hague moves the Philadelphia Inquirer to observe that it could not be done without the assent of the senate, ana never will that assent be given" be- cause "the real question is one of domestic policy, which the American people must and will reserve for their own exclusive determination"

How a girl can tell when she 10
really in love has been explained by
the Rev. Mabel Irwin OF the Prophy-
tactic Society. who also declares that
q girl who marries without love
wrongs both herself and her husband.
These remarks were made to . group
of girl students Of art and music yes
terday afternoon.
Love 10 a temperamental thing.
The girl who gives hersel; to any
man in whose touch she does not de-
light does violence to her highest
nature" said Mrs. Irwin.
Respect and admiration are not
enough. Even mental conseniality or
interest in the same things Is no
basis for . happy marriage. There
must b the temperamental attrac-
ton drawing the two together. The
girl VINO gives herself to q man for
any other reason. who permits the
touch Of man from whom she feels
the slightest shrinking. does wrons
TO both herself and him. Tho mother
who permits II does something in.

'"The double standard Of morality
springs from this low ideal of mar.
riage for something other than love
But this temperamental attraction
must be backed by respect or Il vii

mire her husband will soon cease Il

/ :There are two kinds Of marriage
the marriage OF opposites. in whicl
