DAILY DOPE LINE IN
ATLANTA PITIFUL SIGHT

Atlanta, March 2. Atlanta is be-
ginning to have rather sad and
tragic time handling the several
hundred dope victims who have been
deprived of their morphine and CO.
caine by the federal law.
The best these poor victims can
hope for is to gradually taper off
since IL they are left absolutely with
out the dope their craving makes
them raving maniacs and in some
cases results in death.
Those who can afford treatment
by private physicians are getting
along all right, as the physicians
have the right to administer what
ever Of the drug is necessary.
Blu. those who have no physician
have been reduced to applying to the
city physicians for free prescriptions,
so that it has come to the point that
every morning now a regular "dope
line" forms before the city physi-
clans office at the city hall.
It is infinitely more pathetic than
any bread line, and the faces are
more pathetically eager. Most of
the victims are between IS and 30.
Among them are people who have
come from every walk of life, bright
looking young men. pretty girls or
girls who were once pretty, side by
side with detected down-and-outs.
They all come to beg from the city
physician the prescription for the
tiny bit of drug that will mean re-
lease from torture for a few days.

Wilson's Most Intimate Friend.

In the American Magazine we learn
the curious fact that the presidents
most intomate friend, Col. E. M. House.
who car take his grip to the White
House without invitation, was a total
stranger to Wilson four years ago.
The answer may be found, perhaps,
nesting inconspicuously between the
lines of Colonel Houses biography IN
Who's Who In America
Among other things it says: 'Ac-
tive in democratic politics in Texas.
Has directed the campaigns of many
successful democratic nominees for
governor since 1892; was never a
candidate for office
THAT last seems to be the keynote.
Mr.. Wilson is fond Of Colonel House
because Colonel House doesn't want
anything. And when you are presi-
dent Of the United States, or in n
other public executive position of i'm
p%ortance, 1t is surprising how few per-
sons of this sort you meet. The presi-
dent is convinced that Colonel House
wants nothing in the world from him
beyond the satisfaction of serving him.
while the president values Colonel
Houses judgment on both men and
matters, he regards him as at his best
when sizing up men. This may be why
there are at present two men in the
cabinet from Colonel Houses state Of
Texas.
Another particular in which Mr..
Wilson places confidence in Colonel
House Is in sensing public opinion.
He is my eyes, laughs Wilson, who
might have said with equal truth that
House is his human barometer"

WAR RECORD TO COUNT
IN FRENCH POLITICS

Paris-French politicians are already
much interested in the question wheth-
er it will be necessary for candidates
for public office after the reestablish-
ment of peace to have a war record.
Some members of the chamber Of
deputies who nave stuck to the Palais
Bourbon instead of joining the army
have shown irritation at the publicity
given to exploits of their colleagues,
some Of whom have been killed and
others like Monsieur Maginot, former
assistant secretary of war, ave been
repeatedly cited in the orders of the
day.
one deputy who recently returned
to Paris on leave of absence said he
had found that presence at the front
was far better than an electoral cam
ts,ign for his political interests as we'll
as for the salvation of the country.
Besides" he said, lit is for the cam
non to do the speaking now"

be shared by a considerable majority

unanimously the following resolutions:
The municipal council of the city

the field of honor, considering that the
defense of the country is the first
duty of a citizen. that equality before
the law is the formal right of French
men whoever they hay be and that no
member Of any elective body should
seek to avoid it, that the representa-
tives Of the people should be the first
to give the example of respect for the
law n the duties Of citizens, ex-
presses the wish that all senators and
deputies Of military itness be obliged
to do their military duty as all 9TH
err citizens"
Socialists. radicals, radical socialists
and other elements of the Left see in
all such allusion an attack upon the
parliament. and considerable anxiety
Is betrayed in certain parties as to
whether this spirit will grow and what
effect it will have on politics when
hostilities have ceased on the field of
battle. There nave also appeared
speculations as to the accounts that
much inevitably De rendered after the
war by parties responsible for obstruct-
ing or n%eglecting the development OF
ornaments in the face Of Germany's
obvious preparation. Advanced radicals
appear to look to the activity in
Catholic circles to r%enovate their anti
clerical issue and thus offset the war
issue. The direction aiken by political
movements in France is so susceptible
Of unexpected developments that
speculation is vague. but not a few
far seeing men look for marked
changes in the next general political
camgaign which in the ordinary
course OF events will take place in the
spring of 1918 when the chamber Of
