Your old friend, Hon. James
Tsy McC leary, former Congress-
man from this district, now a
of New York City,
comes to bat with the following
editorial, entitled, AT the Bat, !"
in Leslie's Weekly: I'VE must
not forget that every man who
goes to the bat has right to
make a home run if he can. Sue
cess in industry is not sin.
Wealth honorably won is an evil
dence Of strength and proves
nothing but the ability and
worth as leaders Of those who
win it. Many say that no man
can grow rich unless he makes
some other man poor; but this
is not SO. No man can go up
without bringing a whole lot of
other men with him. This is
the day Of big things. It has
come to stay. Big business is
not bad business. It is affirma-
lively and positively good bust
ness and the American people
are now coming to realize this
truism."

DOPE" PROSECUTORS
SEE HOPE OF VICTORY
Court Gives Jury Right to De-
eide on the Possession of
Drugs

Hope Of Federal investigators OF the De-
partment OF Justice, who have charge Of
drug prosecutions under the Harrison act.
has been revived by the ruling Of Jhdge
Dickinson, in thei United States Circuit
Court, that Il is for tho Jury to decide
whether or not man violates the law by
having drugs in his possession.
Federal agents have found many cases
where they were virtually certain that men
with drugs in their possession had them to
sell. but could not prove an actual sale. By
a recent decision in the Federal Court they
were forced TO drop scores OF such prose-
cutions because the evidence had TO be
complete in fact and not presumption. BY
Judge Dickinsons decision the jury will be
allowed TO Judge whether or not n man
arrested with drugs in his possession had
them for the purpose of selling. and pre-
sumptivo evidence will count toward n con-
viction.
The ruling was made yesterday in the
case OF George II. Kellerman, saloon
keeper. at Tenth and Spring streets his
bartender. Harry Zimmerman, and Louis
Senson, n negro waiter. who were charged
with having failed to register with Col
lector Lederer and to pay the special tax
imposed on dealers In habit-forming drugs.
