DRUG STORE "BLIND TIGERS.

Anything hat the state board Of
pharmacy can do toward Kidding In
diana of lawless drug stores will be
appreciated. 1t is in the power of the
board to gather evidence against Of
tenders and submit it to the local po-
lice. Often the police are negligent
in enforcing the liquor and drug laws.
Indiana possesses laws to cope with
blind tigers" operated in connection
with pharmacies. Indianapolis has
had numerous unpleasant. experiences
with such blind tigers. Their meth
cd of operation is simple, and often
open. Under the law druggists may
sell whisky only by the quart, but the
order must be accompanied by a pre-
s%cription or written application that
declares the liquor is to be used for
medicinal, educational or scientific
purposes. The sick. the Studious and
the scientific. under the loose con-
struction of the law, have found GER
tain drug stores very convenient
places.
AS long as strong drink and habit
forming drugs may be purchased there
should be strict regulation of sales. 1t
interests or to the public TO "go after"
the saloons occasionally and let the
vicious drug stores alone. There
should be impartial regulation. The
trouble is that the law is shamefully
violated at times by distributors of
liquor. In some respects the law viO-
lating druggist is a worse reproach TO
a city than a lax saloon keeper. A
drug store, as a rule, is patrOnized by
all classes of people-men, women and
children. The druggist has a espO
sibility that is not shirked without
danger TO the moral welfare of the
community. y druggist that violates
the liquor or dangerous drug law is
as undesirable a citizen as the law
less saloon keeper. often a lawleSs
druggist finds it possible to contami-
nate a locality by the illegal sale of
liquors. No residence district is barred
to drug stores, but saloons nay not
be opened wherever trade is best.
a drug store in a residence district
may do more harm by illegally selling
liquor than would a saloon, for the
residents would know what to expect
from a saloon and would be on the
alert for violations. whereas a drug
store gets by at times.
II is the duty OF the police Of In
d~ianapOlis TO see that all offending sa-
loon keepers and all offending drug
store owners obey the law. The state
board Of pharmacy can help the police
gather evidence, but the responsibility
for enforcing the law rests solely OF
the police. The Indianapolis force has
done some things toward regulating
the liquor traffic in this city. but it has
many things yet 10 do. No cOmmu-
nifty can afford 10 wink at violations.

Fifty years ago they were singing

HOW 1T WORKS OUT.

When the Oscar UnderwOOdrow
Wilson tariff went into effect some
time ago., there were many dear old
souls in this country who thought
that the nation was on creased skids
and would be shot into oblivion with
neatness and dispatch. The Old-time
boyle. the balance Of trade. was
held up on the end Of a long stick 10
scare the timid.
It was claimed that America would
lose that balance OF trade for the
reason that the revised tariff would
flood this country with foreign-rnade
goods. the product of pauper labor.
and that American goods would not
find a market owing TO the hie her
price which II would be necessary e
charge for them.
IN this connection. it Will be inter

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

, esting to note that during the first
four months of the new tariff, as com
pared with the corresponding -four
months of last year under the Payne
Aldrich tariff, imports into this coun-
try aggregated $47, 600, 600 less in
value. The official reports state that
the imports are decreasing and the
exports are increasing.
This does not look bad for the new
tariff. AS a matter of fact, foreign
countries must buy American goods,
just as America must buy foreign
goods. And the much-mooted bal
ance of trade" will remain in favor
of this country.-Grand Rapids News
WHEN COMMENTATOR Is DUE.
We we long been accustomed to
hearing violent criticism hurled at
public officials for acts and policies
with which we do not agree and at
the same time accepting. as a mere
matter of course, the attitude with
which we are in accord. This is no.
tSbly true with respect to city Off
Gals. We condemn so freely and
commend so rarely that it is genuine
ly refreshing TO note an occasional va
ration from the custom that is utterly
selfish and unfair. Something of this
sort is now transporting at I~ndianap-
oils, where Mayor Bell is being made
NAA( ~ VI < ia ~
his course in the ma tier of law en-
fOrcement.
The clergy is leading the movement
at the state capital. One of them in
a recen sermon insisted that il is but
simple justice for those who approve
the reign Of decency and law enforce
ment TO write the mayor and tell him
as much. He contended that with the
OPPOSITION steadily battering away TO Sc
cure illegal indulgences. the mayor is
not only entitled to commentator
from those who want a clean city, but
that encouragement of this character
is likely TO be invaluable in confirming
him in his present stand. He asserted
that the clean city would not endure
unless the spirit of the people were
right, and voiced the opinion that if
old conditions are ever permitted to
return it will be largely due to the
fact that the better element of citizen
ship fails to sustain the present regime
properly.
There is infinitely more in the on
tention than may first appear. and il
may well have application in other
cities than Indianapolis. We ought
TO be as generous with our commenda-
ton when we have an opportunity 10
approve as We are vigorous with con-
demnatiOn of conditions which we alb
nor. Let's be fair in the bestOwal Of
praise as well as censure.-Fort Wayne
