CRUELTY TO DRUG VICTIMS
The Sudden Stopping of Morphine.
Etc. Leads to Torture.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir; In your issue OF to-day is an erti-
Gle on the drug habit. Any one who has had
experience with these unfortunate people
knows that their sufTerings are intense
After using morphine for months. years, etc
The whole system becomes tuned in Tho NOR
phine key, and when suddenly with drawn
20 thrown out OF harmony, and none Of the
functions Of the body are performed nor
mally The tortures are indescribable, and
many arc driven to madness and suicide
Just as there are many users Of wine, beers
and whiskey in moderation who never COM
NIT any crimes. there are many people who
use morphine or other opium derivatives most
lily through pain such "a neuritis, locomotor
ataxis, diabetes, etc, and who make lie easier
and keep their disease in check by SO doing
Morphine is a powerful antiseptc, and when
used for long time destroys natures anti
toxins for keeping the system free from dis
ease. It taking the place Of these protectors
What really becomes OF most Of those who
take sudden cures Is that they succumb TO
pneumonia or other infectious diseases tho
Grst time they are exposed 10 infection. Al
cohol in its various forms has no protective
rower and when withdrawn does not expose
the victim TO disease.
The Chinese when stopping opium users
smokers, etc. found 30 many died that they
gave the old habitues ten years TO quit, re-
ducing the quantity one-tenth each year
made them register and gave them a permit
for just so much There are societies for
protecting people and animals from cruelty
but no cruelty In the world equals the sud

allowing users 20 get so much, diminishing II

gradually back TO the normal.
The present law will kill off thousands
who have no disease and bring untold misery
on those who. suffering from chronic, pain
ful diseases, cannot afford to call physician
to give them their drug every time they need

them have gradually diminishing quantities

thousands from insanity, suicide and death
The writer has seen hundreds of cases and
speaks from experience. having practised over
thirty years as a physician
The reason why so few come back on &C

some place like Mexico, where the laws are
not so strict.

Lessened Earning Power.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In connection with the agitation
against the Bewley cannery bill, providing
for the lencthening Of the work hours Of
women md children in canneries, the fol
lowing excerpt from the report of the United
States Bureau of Labor on California can
neries, in Bulletin &C. is of interest:
"The bureaus agents were frequently told
BY both employees and employers that after q
certain point the earning power waned as the
working hours heightened, and that after
drive the work Jagged This is a loss for
employer as we'll as employe. with the diff
ference that to the employer the distribution
of overtime strain would mean an immedi-
ate gain. TO the employe, accustomed to
the increased earnings of excessive overtime
work. there would be an apparent loss OF
money In such distribution which it might
take her some time to see was Offset by the
fact that her earning power during normal
hours would be better sustained or in
creased" EDWARD n. CHOPPER.

Safety Systems for the Elevated.

Nh Shonts's announcement that the
PETERBOROUGH is working out q signal and
speed control system for its elevated lines
comes none too soon. The numerous re-
cent collisions on its elevated branches
suggested emphatcally the need for such
protection for the travelling public. At
present there is practically nothing Of this
nature in use-merely the old-style block
signals at curves and junction points The
system under consideration is an adapta-
ton Of that in use on the express tracks Of
the subway-a block system with auto
matte "trip" devices which shut off power
and stop a train before it can run into n
stopped train ahead. This the manage
ment hopes, with the Public Service Com
missions approval, to install on the ex-
press tracks of the elevated lines and at
junction points and curves on the local
lines.
It is possible that this system, or any
other, will necessitate the running Of
trains a trife more slowly. That here
tofore has been the argument against in
stalling any kind Of automatic protection
device against collisions-that it would
make imperative a greater space Of time
between trains, and consequently smaller
number Of trains in rush hours. The pub
lie. naturally, does not desire any reduction
in rush hour transit facilities, but each
member Of the public would doubtless
rather be sure Of getting home safely, even
if the trip takes five minutes longer than
at present, than stand the chance Of injury
in a collision. The Interborough's decision
TO adopt this safety device is commendable.
1t might well have taken il before.

A Fellow Feeling.
tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Since the beginning of the war Pres-
dent Wilson's attitude has been source OF
constant perplexity to me.
That any one so just and good as he IN
doubtedly is should be a German sympa-
thizer seems incredible, and yet so many Of
his actions seem TO point in that direction.
To take just one: Was it necessary to CON
graduate the War Lord on his birthday =?
All very well not to anathematize him, but
surely most unhyphenated Americans must
feel that it was a sad, sad thing for this poor
world that he should have been born at all.
/ wonder If the solution f the problem could
lie in the fact that, unlike as the characters
of President Wilson and Wilhelm seem, they
may have one great bond in common? EN-
peror Wilhelm is undoubtedly a simple soul
who believes that the Creator Of the uni
verse is tremendously interested in him and
all his doings. Since reading Mr.. Wilson's
address at the Methodist convention the
other day have wondered if he isn't some
thing of the same sort
"A fellow feeling makes US wondrous
kind" Perhaps the destruction of Belgium
seems less terrible to the President because
it was wrought in a simple, God-fearing
manner. Well, it is not the blacklist thing
to be done in the name Of the Prince Of
Peace, but it is pretty black.

Chicago's Election.

Chicago, normally a Democratic city.
elected a Republican Mayor on Tuesday by
the unprecedented plurality Of l39,O24
Republicans everywhere would be more
than human if they did not permit that
astonishing result to strengthen their con-
yiction that 1915 and 1916 were going to
be Republican years. The condition Of the
country under q Democratic administration
and the collapse of Mr.. Wilson's prestige
during the last session OF Congress were
no doubt, reflected in Chicago's great po-
litical overturn.
It would be rash, however, to dogmatize
as to the extent 70 which they controlled
the result. In Chicago, as in this city,
party lines do not hold very taut in munich
pal elections, and in Tuesdays fight there
were many confusing local issues at work.
The Carter Harrison-Roger Sullivan feud
split the Democratic forces, and the ele-
ments which are working to break the ALI
ance between protected vice and crime and
the city administration were united behind
the Republican nominee. Illinois gave her
electoral vote to Wilson in 1912, but the
Democratic party was even then weak
minority. 1t is more than ever a weak
minority today and the states return to
Republcanism next year has long been as
surcd. The Chicago upset only clinches a
prospect which had already been dis
counted in the elections Of 1914.
We shall be charitable enough to give
weight TO each and all of the explanations
offered for the worst defeat which the
Windy City Democracy has ever expert
euced. There is one feature of the catas-
rophe, however which should give intense
satisfaction to all good Americans, with
out regard to party. In Chicago the pro-
ectors Of the new German-American ma
ional organization, formed for the purpose
Of injecting alien quarrels and interests
into domestic politics, had their first
chance 10 try out their uu-American pro-
gramme. Chicago has large population
of foreign birth and of foreign descent.
There are many Germans. Austrians,
liunEaIldhS, IOleS, NLeCuS anu SIOFdkS-
ali from dominions embraced in the
Teutonic alliance.
The Democratic candidate for Mayor
Robert VI. Sweitzer, is Of German descent
and circular was issued in his behalf
carrying pictures Of Kaiser Wilhelm and
Kaiser Franz Josef. and appealing for
votes for him as am Endorsement Of the
cause of Germany and Austria-Hungary.

The Eitel Interns.

The internment of the Prinz Eitel Fried
rich. expected from the moment of her ar
rival at Newport News, ends rather ludi-
crous paragraph of official American neu-
trality Fresh from an outrageous viola
ton of international law in the destruction
# the American square-rigger William P.
Frye, her commander calmly seeks refuge
in an American port, and there, under
careful guard supplied by the American
Navy, he leisurely repairs his vessel, takes
on supplies, poses, smiling, for the camera,
enjoys a round of social entertainments
and for weeks inconvenience the business
and shipping Of Newport News, while he
refuses to make public the only decision
open to him. Up to the very last moment,
with smoke pouring from his ships fun
nels and other evident signs Of intended
departure, he maintains the fiction Of n
proposed dash to sea, and the United
states government holds back enemy mer-
chantmen TO give him free elbow room.
Surely German-American voters should
find in all this some encouragement TO
support the Democratic administration.

The Fight in Havana.
or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As daily reader Of your paper and
enc who is interested in good. clean news, |
was astonished to see the publicity given to
The "Willard johnson Fight" in Havana on
April 3.
Good clean Americans would deplore see
ing two men fight in their streets or public
places over what to the parties engaged
might seem to be cause for fighting, and
IS Americans we are crushed and humili-
ated to see our brothers over the seas fight
ing over what to them probably seems a
cause; but how much deeper humiliation
ought we as Americans to feel when we see
our fellows fighting just to see which may
be the worlds champion with his fist, and
deeper still must be our humiliation when
We see our public press giving the promi-
nence you gave such a eight in your issue
Of April 6.
/ beg to question the good judgment Of
a newspaper that proceeds along the line of
giving such full Endorsement to that kind Of
conduct between men that is forbidden by
the laws Of the state in which said paper is
published, even though said paper had little
thought Of the kind of moral influence it
sheds abroad | feel your paper does give
thought to its moral influence, hence my
greater surprise at what have read in your
current issue. GEORGE n CRANSTON.

Commission Is failure; they are too
Young. Legislative meddlingwith them now
is indefensible. 1t is tearing them down
before there has been a chance for them
actually to grow up. It is, moreover, q
doubly foolish use of legislative power at
this time, when the Constitutional Conven-
ton is about to consider the entire subject
Of state governmental machinery--to con-
slider IL in a broader and saner and more
impartial frame of mind than the Legs
laturo has disclosed on any subject this
session. If there is any justification for
change or consolidation of powers and
duties in these fields Of state activity, the
convention is now the proper agency to
take up the task, not the Legislature. NO
good can be accomplished by the adoption
Of the Spring bill; great deal OF harm
may be done.

APPRECIATION
The Tribune's Attitude on Cannery
and Compensation Bills Pleases.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: May express my appreciation Of the
courage and clearsightedness with which you
have been unfolding the best interests OF
The state in pointing out the evils Of the
'abor legislation the Republican Legislature
has passed and is trying to pass? 1t is pro
foundly gratifying to have the most impor-
tant Republican newspaper in the state fear
'essly express the sound criticism you have
made, instead of following the old tradition
" blind partisanship.
May especially thank you for this morn
inr's editorial on the canning bill? was in
Albany when the Assembly passed this sew
cnty-two hour bill The Republican leader,
in defending this bill which makes a six
teen-hour day possible, and which to all in
tents and purposes establishes a wide open
exemption as it eliminates the clause in the
old law which requires time books to be
kept by the cannery employers, stated: Hard
work hurts no one" He added that he him
self had worked long hours and it did not
hurt him, as If his work compared TO sort
ing peas constantly moving before the eyes
10 the music Of incessant and deafening ma
chinery
In my personal contact with many Of tho
legislators found that they had no com
prehension Of what factory work sig1iied.
They compared repeatedly their own work to
that Of the cannery women, though the can
merry women make at most 10 cents an hour
The utter lack OF comprehension of indus
trial conditions shown is startling and re-
grettable, since the destruction of these laws
affects so vitality the welfare of several mill
ions of men and women.

many working women in thanking you for
your splendid editorials on the cannery as
well as the workmen's compensation meas

Soma Of our German-American publica-
tions In this city had called attention 70
his victory In the Democratic primary over
Carter Harrison as n demonstration OF the
power of the hyphenated voter.
Such an appeal would have made MT
Sweitzer's defeat inevitable in any Ameri-
can community. The American people,
though extremely tolerant Of expressions
OF sympathy with foreign causes, Will
never allow such causes to be made basis
for party divisions or political action IN
this country. We do not recognize such
ssues as pertinent In our elections. The
agitators who sought to organize body OF
voters here for the purpose OF giving
cast 70 our foreign policy favorable 70 one
of the groups Of European belligerents
made colossal error. We emphasized
that fact at the time Of the conference at
Washington in which Representative
Yartholdt and other hyphenated states
men figured. The Chicago election con-
firms everything which we said There
could be no more grotesque Illusion than
that the American voter will accept the

No legislative Meddling.

Though there is plenty of evidence that
the Republicans at Albany intend to pass
the Spring bin consolidating the Work
mems Compensation Commission, the La
Dor Department and the State Industrial
Commission as an Organization measure"
it is greatly to be hoped that they will
rause and consider Such a consolidation
would be a lameutable mistake on many
counts. The reorganized Labor Depart
ment is not yet two years old. The Com
uensation Commission is not a year Old.
To shift them and change them viii as
suredly disposses Democratic officeholders
and make places for Republicans, but it
will lust as surely disrupt and disorganize
the great work these departments have
to do.
Such a reorganization under the best
Of conditions, is likely to set back tbs i'm
portant public service for months. under
the worst conditionS-and it is legisla-
tive axiom that the extreme of possibility

scheme.

Elihu.

The Constitutional Convention has en-
its first snag-in the pronuncla-
ton of the Christian name OF It's chair
man. The name is Christian, that Is, by
application. and Hebraic by derivation,
and it has three syllables, whose values
are variously estimated according as the
delegates race, religion or previous con-
dition Of skill in nomenclature incllnes him.
OfFhand, how would you pronounce
EIhu? Or wouldn't you? Some Of the dele
gates in Albany have simply avoided the
issue by voting for "Mr. Root" or for Sen
ator Root" and others, less wise in their
have called him Ee-la-hue,
and El-i-who and Er-a-hue and Ell hue
and El-who and El-ah'-who and El-you
and almost everything but E-lye hue, as
the dictionary nstructs. Indeed, probably
a comparatively few Americans have
thought of Mr.. Root as E-lye hue. So
pronounced the name seems rather wild
one for so quiet gentleman.
But It's old Hebrew meaning, God is
he" makes it in reality an reclamation,
and possibly to some Of Mr.. Roots more
ardent admirers an appropriate one in this
instance. One hesitates, therefore, TO sug-
gest an abbreviation, though that might
greatly simplify the problem at Albany.
vowels long-is by no means an
unfamiliar appelaton to American ears.
There was old Eli (Elihu) Yale, for ex
ample, who, having the name to begin
with, bought Immortality for it at the cut
rate of about $4,000. In his pictures he
wears a great wig, giving him ponderous
dignity. Surely if such an august being
may be referred to Familiarity as Eli, Mr..
Root should not object TO a similar liberty.
Let the Constitutional Convention consider
the amendment.
