In discussing the Harrison anti-nar-
cotic act and the results OF its en-
forcement, which commenced March
/, the American Review OF Review re-
minds US that the full significance of
this admirable step toward a higher
social efficiency can hardly be appre-
ciated unless we keep In mind the cor
responding movement on the interna-
tional scale. 1t refers to the opium
treaties, in which our government has
had the honorable position of leader.
Thirty-four ma lions have now Joined
in this drug prohibition enterprise. Its
history goes back to 1907, when at
the instance Of the United States pre-.
posals were made to all the govern
ments principally interested to form
an international commission on the
opium question.
As result OF these suggestions.
such commission met at Shanghai
in 1909. Two of the three American
delegates were DR.. Hamilton Wright

darn, as they all go barelegged, and
no dishes to wash. as they all eat out
of one dish and take the meat in Their

"a LOVE YOU, DEAR"
A scent of violets in the air,
And singing birds,
A beauty new born, fresh and fair,
Too deep, for words;
A little maid with floral crown
On hair of gold,
And blushing cheeks where lies the
kiss
OF lover bold.
Whose boyish lips story tell
Into the ear,
AS bending low. he whispers soft, :.
II love you, dear!"
The breath of roses in the air,
And lilacs sweet,
And sunny sky of azure blue
The morn doth greet;
A maiden crowned with womanhood,
And robed in white,
With smiling lips. and in her eyes
tender light,
Before the altar proudly stands.
And answers clear
The one who whispers soft and low.
II love you, dear"
A whirl of snowf[kes in the air.
A cold. gray sky,
Where scudding clouds and wintry
winds,
Go sweeping by;
A woman with crown of years
On silvared hair,
And faded cheek, where youths fair
bloom
Once fingered there,
Beside the hearthstone knits and
rocks,
While someone near
Bends low his whitened head and
81 love you. dear"

tial raise in wage.
The fellows who can make a
clean 20-yard drive are the town
heroes. Every citizen who cares
to go to the course-and 1t costs
him only 20 cents to play a game
can enjoy all the privileges of
a country club, usually reserved
for the rich alone. And no man
who plays golf lacks friend.
The course has proved more
than self-supporting for mainten-
ance and further improvements.
and has become so popular that a
second course is contemplated.
Revenues for the first year will
exceed $4,000.
When municipal golf was first
proposed here, 1t was generally
ridiculed. WHAT" laughed the
critics, TASK the people to support

lous!"
Now these seoffers are the
most violent golf bugs.
From the standpoint of public
health, the promotion of general
good fellowship and good citizen
ship, always linked up closely with
clean sportsmanship, Seattle's
municipal golf course has been a
decidedly profitable investment.
You'd take your life in your
own hands here IL you even hint

The public course, comprising

Asks Shippers
TO Help Avert
Car SHORTAGE

J.. w. Higgins, executive sec
rotary of the Association of
Western Railways, in a letter to
The Times makes another plea
for cooperation on the part of
all shippers to the end that a Sc
rious car shortage be averted.
He suggests That cars be
loaded and unloaded with all pos
sible dispatch that cars be loaded
to their full capacity; that the
disposition of freight be anticI-
pated before its arrival; that only
such cars be ordered as can be
loaded promptly. that ordinary
types of cars be ordered when
they will fill the needs as we'll
as will special types; that the
practice of billing cars to inter-
mediate points to be held for re-
consignment be reduced to the
minimum.
