VICTIMS NEED ATTENTION,

A large amount of good has been done by the adoption and enforcement of the Harrison drug law. Not only has it resulted in a restricted sale of narcotics, but it has served to ma- terially reduce the illegal traffic which was carried on to such a large extent and which was having such a demor- alizing effect upon people of all ages. and especially the young, who knew little or nothing about the habit which
 they were contracting.
 While the large amount of the drugs
 used and the effects they were pro-
 ducing morally and criminally prompt
 ed the enactment of the federal law,
 the operation of the measure has
 served to bring to light, as nothing else
 could, just how much of a grip the
 dope habit had obtained throughout
 the country.
 There is a good-sized army of those
 who are addicted to it in some form
 and Dr. T. D. Brothers, president of the New York Medico Legal society, places the number at half a million and maintaining that the users are more or less incompetent, impaired mentally and unable to judge their own acts declares that while they have not committed overt acts there is nc reason why they are not dangerous He maintains that the law of protec- tion and control must be enforced, but in view of the fact that the brain o1 drug taker is suffering from palsy the victim should be treated accord ingly.
 This is situation which has beer revealed from the first enforcement o1
 the law. There is the need of proven tive work, but those who have used l dope so long that they are helpless without it likewise need attention and 1 when such is given then will there be realized the full benefit of the at- tack upon the drug evil.

A FoRLoRN HOPE.

As if it was prompted by the recent advice of George W. Perkins, the lead- CTS of the progressive party of Mis- souri have gone on record as favoring a full national, state and county ticket in 1916. Tn view, however, of the assertions from that party's ranks any such a stand must appear even to the advocates of such a course as a for lorn hope.
 It is interesting to note in connec- tion with this declaration of opinion, however, that such progressive leaders. as expressed in their resolutions. "see nothing in the present attitude of eith- CT of the old parties that holds out any promise for the future" They are ap- parently proud of their accomplish ments in placing the present admins tration in office. They are apparently convinced that this country wants four years more of the present sort of rule at Washington. They believe evidently that the country is anxious to continue the free trade policy and the imposi- tion of federal taxes for the purpose of raising the revenue in sufficient amount to meet our expenses. To all appearances they like the way in which the merchant marine of the country is being killed instead of be- ing built up, and the manner in which it has been disclosed that American industry is forced to depend upon Eu- rope for essentials which with the proper encouragement could be pro- duced here.
 If, however, such is the opinion of a few leaders, it is not that of the rank and file throughout the country as dis closed by the elections throughout the country in the past year or two. They have profited from the folly of 1912 and they want no mere to do with it. They have manifested this in a man. ner sufficiently plain to make even those from Missouri understand. The past record of the republican party in comparison with the others, has de- termined their allegiance in 1916.

UNIQUE DUST CLOTH.

The next time you are invited to a novelty shower in honor of a bride to be or a bachelor girl who is getting ready for a two room apartment have ready two in one gift. By this is meant a duster and glove combined. Buy piece of cheesecloth measuring twelve inches square and then get another piece about eight inches square. F'eatherstitch the smaller to the larger piece, allowing one side to remain unattached. Trace the out line of some ones right hand on the little piece of cheesecloth and stitch along the lines directly through the two pieces. By slipping the hand in the fingers thus formed the neat little housekeeper can dust her furniture and protect her hand with the same article.
 Should this gift seem insufficient, you might make bag of dark green calico. Make it fifteen inches long and nine inches wide. Finish it with a casing and run green tape through it. Across the front of it~outline the word "DIster" with yellow cotton.
 Such a gift may seem worthless to you, but ask any bride to be wnesnei she has provided herself with dusters and 8 place to keep them in and you are sure to receive a negative answer. Such state of affairs then surely

CARING FOR THE INSANE.

Connecticut in the past decade has found it necessary to increase ina terially its appropriations for the building of hospitals for detention and care of the insane. This has become larger because of the improved man. ner in which the problem is handled, because of the advantages which are held out for the cure of cases which are not too advanced under proper and scientific treatr mt and because of the shifting of the burden from the towns which formerly utilized the almshouses for such purposes to the state which affords up-to- date and needed facili- ties.
 The increase in the insane has been no greater in Connecticut than in other states and the cost of caring for them has called for the assump- tion of no greater proportional ex- pense. Where Massachusetts a cen- tury ago had one institution and 200 patients it has r today and 21, ,000 patients calling for a yearly outlay of s4,708, 900, and the reason for this as claimed is that the state has not kept pace with it's problem.
 This same failure to keep up with Ghe demands is likewise displayed in This state as revealed by the situation caused by the act of the last legisla- ture in ordering all insane patients out of the almshouses and into insti- tutions which are prepared to care for such cases. Connecticut institutions were not ready to receive such addi- tions. Calculated to take care of the normal growth of insane cases this new law resulted in crowding the hos pitals and the establishment of wait ing lists, so that while it has done much it still has opportunity for doing much more in the way of handling this general and acute problem.

board of pardons of Utah with the re- suit that no new evidence was brought forth in behalf of the accused and it was impossible to find any reason whatsoever for altering the sentence. Even second appeal from the pres- ident, made at the request of the American Federation of Labor, was denied because no doubt existed that HiIlstrom was guilty and the penalty imposed was only such as the crime called for and such as the state was bound to carry out in the interest of law and order.
 It was a case where the judicial system of the state was in the bal- ance, and Governor Spry has given 1t powerful support by the stand which he has taken in spite of the efforts which have been taken to break it down. Utah has shown that murder cannot be committed with impunity and it's officials cannot be accused of aiding and abetting it.

TARIFF COMMISSION.

Whatever may have been the man. ner in which the advocacy of a tariff commission has been received in the past, there can be little question but what it is getting new support every day. There is need of overcoming the detrimental results which accompany the booting of the economic question around like a football. Business is bound to be on an unstable basis as long as the tariff is revised simply to carry out theory without a thorough knowledge of the conditions which de- mand that it be let alone or changed. What is needed is a thorough knowl- edge of the conditions. No tariff, how ever perfect it might be today, can be expected to cover changing conditions, but such alterations as are made to meet them. should be based upon fact rather than upon political whims which are set forth to catch votes.
 In other words, there should be a good and substantial reason for every revision if a good and sound tariff is to be maintained and if the paralysis of business is going to be prevented.
 It is observed with clear vision by the Philadelphia Public Ledger that If a supreme court can interpret our laws. if a federal reserve board can have in it's keeping the ultimate well fare of 25.000 banks. if the interstate commerce commission can hold with in it's grasp the destiny of 255,O0 miles of railroad, surely high-grade body of men might be intrusted with the framing of tariff law"
 That congress must say what the tariff will be is acknowledged, but there have been repeated instances where 1t has shown the need of expert Knowledge upon the various phases ot the question before it acts

TO THE EDITOR
suffraai.ts eive Thanks.

Mir. Editor: The friends of equal rights for women have good cause for a happy Thanksgiving. Within the past year Denmark and Iceland have en, the province of Saskatchewan has extended the municipal vote, and en- larged suffrage rights have been con- ferred upon women in a number of cities, ranging from St. John, New Brunswick, to Fellsmere, Florida
 For the first time in history, the na- tion- wide amendment for woman suf- fraRe got a majority vote in the United States senate, and in the house a very large minority vote-174 to 2o4-
 President Wilson, Vice President Marshall and most of the cabinet have come out for woman suffrage.
 The legislatures of Iowa, South Da- kota. West Virginia, Tennessee, Ar kansas and Maine gave large majority votes in both houses for constitutional amendments granting full suffrage to women, though in the last three the vote for various reasons did not suffice to submit the amendment. In many other states suffrage measures got large legislative votes; and the growth was especially marked in the south, long considered the stronghold of con- servatism.
 In New Jersey 1Ss,2s2 men voted for equal suffrage, in Massachusetts 163. .406, in Pennsylvania 340.000, and in New York 511, ,46S. and the inter est shown in suffrage overshadowed all other questions at the election. These enormous minority votes for equal rights boiled in four very con- servative states, in year of war. and year when a wave of conservatism was sweeping over the whole country show plainly that victory is on the way. It is not yet here, but 1t is coming.

 Negroes in Georgia have begun a movement to establish Booker T. Washington day" As there is uncer- tainty concerning the exact date of his birth, it is proposed to set aside a specific day for honoring his memory. The plan deserves to be carried out. It would in all probability be an inspira- ton to colored people everywhere and establish the first real holiday of their own in history. Booker Washington during his life was a leader of his people and his example and influence through a troubled era set them on solid ground. In observing Booker Washington day" they will renew each year appreciation of the value of his work. his purpose. and the soundness of his principles and plans In thus paying tribute to their loved leader they wifi strengthen their own lives and at the same time accord remem- brance to one who fully earned it, Bristol Press.
