The Illegal Traffic
In Deadly Drugs.

From time to time there are spas
r1odic denun ciations of the sale of dead
w drugs indiscriminately and horrible
examples of human depravity are con-
iured up in argument favoring en-
forcement OF the law. Appeals have
been made to the people Of the state
generally to cooperate in an effort
IN nut a. stop to the sale of cocaine,
morphine. heroin, 1audanum and the
like. Circulars by the thousands have
been sent broadcast and threats of
prosecution have been made without
number. Still the sale Of the deadly
narcotics goes on and the police
records of any city will substantiate
the statement that the use Of drugs,
by fends who have acquired drug hab-
its. is steadily upon the increase.
The extent to which the drug evil
exists is appalling. and only those
who come into personal contact with
the victimfs in hospitals, police courts
and prisons know the whole truth. 1t
is high time that the general public
awaken to the facts and give active
support to a movement for the sup
preston OF traffic which is running
the lives and souls Of hundreds Of
men and women.
1t is comparatively a simple matter
to convict the human derehcts who
peddle morphine. opium, cocaine and
heroin in the districts which they
infest, but the heightened dispenser
is more willy offender to ensnare,
for he resorts to legal bubbles and
takes various advantages Of the law.
The drug traf1fc, however. is not en-
titled to pity, protection or leniency.
1t is an outlaw trade. a breeder OF
nothing that is good, and of every
thing which is evil, hence every Of
fender should be exposed to the public
gaze and severely punished.
Suppression cannot be wholly eff
fected without public sentiment; it is
red into action. Talk will not sup |
press the drug evil, but concerted ac-
ton on the part OF the people in ex-
posing every drug fend and every |
man who sells narcotics or .stinulants
illegally will eventually have the de-
sired effect. The laws Of the state |
are ample but Notwithstanding the
continued and increasing sale Of |
drugs, cases for the law to work upon
are woefully scarce.

Dangerous Bomb
WasDiscoveredm
the Ionbs Court
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

| New York. Nov. 15.-A bomb. some
| what similar in construction to the
! one that wrecked the entrance to the
| Bronx county courthouse last Wednes-
day night was found Saturday in the
! TOmbs courtroom Just under the dis
| trict attorneys offices occupied by
| Governor ELECT Whitman. The room
was crowded. The bomb contained
gunpowder, sIugs and bullets. It's fuse
was partly burned.
George l.. O'Connor policeman,
saw smoke from the burning fuse of
the bomb, ran to the spot, picked up
the missile tore off the fuse and car
ried the bomb from the court room.
-four men were sitting on the bench
in the rear of the court room where
the bomb was found.
The bomb contained explosive
enough. it was estimated, to have
wrecked the building.
As O'Connor stripped the sputtering
fuse from the bomb the court room
was thrown into an uproar. Approx
mately fifty persons were in the room
awaiting the arrival of Magistrate
Campbell to open court. It is believed
that his arrival was the signal to fire
the fuse.
Examination showed that the bomb
was maze OF a uN0-pOunO OIL ana
that 1t was filed with gun cotton,
slugs and bullets. 1t was wrapped Up
in a. Jewish daily newspaper tightly
bound with wrapping cord.
Magistrate Campbell said that he
had no idea who would seek to take
his life unless it were the writer or
writer's of threatening letters he had
received during the recent trial of In
dustriaI Workers of the World at |
which he had presided. The police |
believed that the bomb was left in |
the court room by the same band OF |
anarchists that fired the bomb Wed |
neSday night at the Bronx court house |
and last month exploded bombs in ST. |
Patriek's Cathedral and at the Church |
Of St Alphonsus. The police recalled
hat Frank Tannenbaum and his In
iustrial Workers of the World entered
St. Aiphonsus church during their
last year as a result Of
which Tannenbaum was sent to Jail |
The discovery in the wreckage Of the
Bronx county court house of pampI-
cts. printed in Spanish, extolIing the
chicago martyrs led to the belief
hat bomb was set off in revenge for
he execution of Haynarket anarchists.

San Francisco. Nov. 15.-Rrs. Herbert
Q Hoover, wife of the noted consult
| ing engineer and Stamford trustee,
and herself leader in the relief work
in London during the early days of the
war. thinks exceedingly well of the
plan to colonize Californias vacant
lands with Belgium's exiled farmers.
She is at present in this city on a
brief visit
Mrs. Hoover has resided in Belgium
and Knows the character of the Bel
gians peasantry. In her own home
in London today there are three Bel
gian women with their children, whose
husbands are at the front, perhaps
never to return
These are but the type of many
glish homes
Would Make Good Citizens.
THE Belgian peasants would make
good citizens for California; declared
Mrs. Hoover. THE plan to bring them
here and colonize them is good one
on the whole.
However, there are certain things
that must be borne in mind.
When | left London there we're
about 100000 Belgian refugees being
cared for in English homes. Since
the Antwerp affair there are undoubt-
eddy a great many more. But the vast
majority of these are women and
children. old men and boys. All the
able-bodied men are at the front.
SO I am not sure that a great many
Belgian farmers will pe found just at
this time who will come 20 California
The women are good farmers. it is
true, but not the best. It is the men
that California wants, and the men
are fighting.
again, you must realize that these
people love their country. They love
Belgian soil with the passionate love
of people who have fought for that
soil. and whose fathers and grand
fathers have fought for the same soil
before them. They do not want to
leave Belgium. The only thing that
Will drive them away from Belgium !
would be for the Germans to come
into the final possession OF the coun- |
try.
The Belgians I talked to in England !!
declared their intention of staying !
where they We're until the war ended |
and the situation cleared up They |
hope their country will retain its in !
dependence; and in that case they will |
go back to their own farms But they |
all said that if Belgium fell perma-
nently into the hands of Germany the
whole nation would come to America"

Nothing Tastes Fifteen
To Them Now.

We have been somewhat interested
and amused by a little controversy in
which our old friend, Editor Frank
Harris of the Ocala Banner, is playing
the leading role and which may be
understood in part at least, from the
following press comments:
Editor Harris inveighs against the
evils Of refrigeration. Ice spoils. our
food, he says-"nothing tastes fifteen"
The refrigerator takes the taste out
of everything.
This is to certain extent true, but
we know OF no help for it. We must
have ice. and the household without
n refrigerator would have to subsist
on canned goods.
We prefer the fresher stuff, robbed
of some of its taste by ice. perhaps,
but still better than the artificiatly
preserved kind. Ice is one of our
greatest blessings and we object to
its classification as a CriminaI.-Tam-
pa Tribune
The editor of this paper only said
that since the passing Of laws regu-
lating foods and the appointment, of
pure food inspectors" that nothing
now seems FIFTEEN" 1t is Pure Food
ice as the offender.-Ocala Banner
Now why lay all this distressing
condition onto the Ice man or the pure
food laws or anybody In particular?
Does not Brother Harris realize that
he is getting old? Ditto Brother Jor-
dan? Do not both of them know that
nothing tastes as FIFTEEN" as it did |
when they were boys?
Your tobacco hasn't the flavor, your |
liquor hasn't the twang. apple pie is
not as enticing, the odor of the pines
is not as pungent the ardor of early
love is not as eager-in fact. moth
ing is or tastes az FIFTEEN" as it did in
the days long gone and past.
The fact is. you two old fellows are
getting old and you don't know it.

Wisconsin in the summer of 1915, nm
less our farmers use every means to

The losses in 1915 promise to be as
great or greater than in 1912 when 80
per cent of the corn crop was ruined,
This trouble will occur every third year

patient, young woman, was so weak
and i'll she could hardly creep to my door

arm. supplied Vinol to her literally
and in month when she returned to
thank me hardly recognized her. She
was strong, her color charming and her

The Price of Beet.

Chicago Journal: The high price of
beef has come to make considerable
stay. The nations stock of beef cattle
has been declining for years. Last
seasons drought sent tens of thousands
of breeding animals to the slaughter
yards, and still further depleted the
supply. Cattle breed slowly. 1t will
take three years to make any note
worthy increase in the countrys meat
herds, and probably year or two more
before those herds, working alone,
would lower the cost of steak to any
considerable extent.
This does not mean that the sudden
jump in prices at the beginning of the
war was justified. 1t was not. But
everyone should understand that beef
was due for rise, even without com
plications in Europe.
Fortunately, there are some factors
which will keep prices from soaring too
high. Beef now is on the free list, and
though imports from the Argentine are
small, they have decided effect on the
market, especially on that part of the
market which does not cater to the
fancy trade.
OF still more Importance is the COM
petition of other meats, such as pork
and mutton, which can be bred more
rapidly. The ravages of hog cholera
for the last two years have been most
deplorable, but all reports indicate that
the disease is abating, and farmers
have learned the value of cholera vac
cine.

Nation wide response. The remem-

come an intermediary for peace.
Through its very feebleness this child
rens appeal may prove power in re-
viving the spirit of peace where it is
now dead. The Government has lent
its own vessels to the work of getting
distressed Americans home from Eu-
rope 1t has before this in like manner
aided the charity of the American
people in relieving extraordinary cases
of distress abroad. What could be
more fitting than for the Government,
