DOPE FIENDs BECOMING CRAZY.

Reports from the insane asylums
are to the effect that large number
of patients are being sent to these
institutions who are crazed from the
fact, that under the new Federal law
which went into effect on March 1st
they are unable to obtain the dope
they have been accustomed 10 take
Some of these, it seems, may re-
spond to treatment, while others are
less hopeful.
This is bringing to light what few
people had previously recognized, the
large number of people who are ad-
dicted to the use of drugs But few
had imagined how sericus this had
become, what large number If peo-
pie were users of dope in one form or
another. People who reside IN the
country districts see but little Of this
using of dope and are unable 10 un-
dertsand why its use has become SO
common among SO large number.
Of course the new law is n good
one. 1t may work hardship upon
some, some may die for the need of
the drug, but upon the whole the
country will be benefited. Future
generations will be unable to secure
the dope so easily and therefore be-
come the less liable to contract the

to buns and beats, and surely he
deserves no censure that they are
not enlisted in an "army of aggres-
sion" like the buns and beats of
Germany and Austria.
That many good men are idle, or
rather unemployed, is unhappily
true, but that this arises from con.
ditions the President could not con-
troll is equally true. His splendid eff
fort to give hundred thousand EN-.
ployment on merchant vessels under
the American flag was defeated by
Republican filibuster that is now
acknowledge to have been in the in
terest of the classes and against the
masses and was urged by the same
hand that penned the inquiry that
heads this protest. The writer Of
it might with the same propriety
hold Wilson responsible for his own
hopeless stupidity as for the fact
that thousands are idle.

CABBAGE PLANTS.

The editor has another box of frost
proof cabbage plants for the distri-
button among he gardeners who may
want few early cabbage. This is
the last order, and first come first
served. Price at the office, ten cents
per dozen plants. By mail, IL cents.
Put the plants out at once. Before
doing so, immerse them in hot, strong
soap suds for a few seconds. In
other words, baptize them after the
regular Baptist and Bible fashion.
This will rid them of insects usually
found on early plants. A baptism Of
soap suds is helpful to plants, and oc.
casionally to folks, too.

called Cleveland a wife-beater, and
his remote ancestor possibly was in
the mob that gathered to stone the
Woman of Samaria. The gentle

than the sinner.
But all this only brings US back
to consider the ineffable stupidity of

is rapidly disappearing. So far ns
man can now foresee, we shall not
have hard times To make Republican

Is II plain promise that by that time
