Cocaine in War Time.

If cocaine is really so popular in the
British army as a recent dispatch from
London suggests, it is probably because OF
the lack of reasonable restrictions on the
trade in habit-forming drugs. Hitherto
the use of cocaine has not been widespread
in England, or at least its perils have not
been so generally recognized as they dre
here. 1t is said to have been introduced
TO the troops in the form of snuff by mem
bers of the Canadian contingent, and now,
according to one London journal, the traf-
hc has reached the dimensions Of rig
scandal"
Possibly the extent Of the evil is exag-
gerated 1t may be recalled that more
than n year ago there was a great deal
of irresponsible talk about the abuse OF
cocaine in France, especially among civil
ians, and at the time it was shrewdly in
timated that German agents were at work,
secretly endeavoring by means Of this sub
tie and dangerous drug to undermine the
health and resistance of the nation. 1t Is
certain, however, that cocaine is used more
extensively in England than heretofore,
and the very fact that the Army Council
was obliged quite recently to issue an or
der dealing with the traffic among soldiers
shows how very inadequate the ordinary
law is
Cocaine is listed in the Poisons Schedule
under the British Pharmacy Act, but in
with the restrictions we are
accustomed to the law in England is won
derfully mild. A druggist may sell CO.
caine to any customer who is personally
known to him, provided he complies with
the statutory requirements as to labelling
and registration of sale. Moreover, wheth-
er he knows his customer or not he is
at liberty to fill a prescription for cocaine,
and no evidence is required to show that
the prescription was made out by medi-
cal practitioner.
The new order Of the Army Council very
provides that cocaine, as well as
several other habit-forming drugs, shall
not be supplied to any member of the
forces "unless ordered for him by regis
tered medical practitioner on a written
prescription, dated and signed by the prac-
t:tioner with his full name and qualifica-
tions, and marked with the words mot to
be repeated, and unless the person so sell
ing or supplying shall mark the prescrp-
ton with his name and address and the
date on which it is dispensed"
1t will be seen, then, that even this
"war emergency" measure, applying only
to the army, is less drastic than the ordi-
nary law in this country. In fact, a SOL
der in England has fewer difficulties put
in his way than a physician has here.

Insanity and Inebriety in Kansas.
,ditor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your esteemed journal. issue OF
July 14. Mr.. Whidden Graham more than
coyly ntmated that spoke without author
ity in saying inebriates were committed as IN
sane in Kansas, and said:
at is up to Mr.. Everhart to furnish proof
Of his assertion or admit that he deliber-
ately sought TO deceive your readers"
In an article by Mr.. Harry Bowman, a
member of the State Board of Control OF
Kansas. and given publicity in October, 1915,
are these words
"The Census Bureau incorrectly states that
in 1910 the insanity of 20 patients admitted
to the Kansas state hospitals was caused by
alcohol and that the insanity of 20 Of the
patients admitted TO the Nebraska State Hos
ptal was caused by alcohol. We are at
loss to know how the government report got
the figures 10. The correct figures are "a
The government also missed something very
important in compiling the Nebraska hgures.
The Kansas figures of "a include the ine-
briates who are sent to the state insane hos
pitfalls as insane, while in Nebraska inebrlates
are committed under a different law and are
not included in the census report OF the popu-
lation OF the Nebraska state insane hospitals
The inebriates go to the same institution as
the insane and are mixed and mingle in the
same wards, whether admitted as insane or
inebriates. On page ll5 Of the biennial re-
FORT of 1912 of the Lincoln, Neb., State
Hospital for the Insane. the superintendent
states from July g. 1905, to November 30,
1912, LIP men and 80 women were COM
mitted as inebriates. This would be an aver.
age of almost 174 year, in addition TO the
90 insane with alcohol psychosis in Nebraska"
Mr.. Graham has my authority. and 1t Will
take more than a letter from some Kansas
legislator confessing ignorance Of the above
to dsprove IT.
Pardon a smile at Mr.. Graham's solemn
solictude lest your readers be deliberately
deceived" by me, In my letter of May Is |
exhibited him as quoter Of the United States
census on a subject concerning which the
United States census has issued no figures. |
did not suggest that he admit he deiber-
ately sought to mislead your readers" but il
he wants TO he may.

RACES OF GREAT BRITAIN
Scots and Cymry Not To Be Confounded
with the Blue-Dyed Picts.
To IN. Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: have read the letter published in to-
days Tribune under the caption England vs.
Britain" Your correspondent, who signs
himself "Englishman," includes the Welsh
among the Gaelic races But the Welsh or
Cymry and Gaels, both Scotch and Irish, arc
brother nations and constitute the Celtic race
The identification OF Celtic and Gaelic is as
erroneous and misleading as that Of German
and Prussian.
According to "Englishmai blue paint was
the fashion in Britain at Casar's time but
the Celts never painted their skins blue with
woad. and Britons (Britann) were essen
TALLY Celtic in the first pre-Christian cen
tury. The tattooing custom only prevailed
among the scattered Pictish tribes. As the
ethnoogy OF early Britain is puzzle even
TO many Englishmen. few remarks on the
interesting topic may be Apostle
The Welsh invaders Of Albion nicknamed
the tattooed native "Briton," which means
painted" in the Cymrc tongue. The Latin
rendering is "Pict," as the pre-Celtic popula-
tion Of Great Britain was called since the
Roman age The Anglo-Saxon conqucrors'
who hail from the "wids Of Northern Ger
"
ferred the time -halowed name "Briton' to
the vanquished Celts, and ultimately took 1t
over themselves In pre- historic times the
polyandrous Picts overran the whole of Eng
land and even infested the Isle of Wight AS
the North Sea is known in England and scot
land as the German Ocean," so the lrish
Gaels named the French Channel "ict Sea,
that is Sea Of the Picts; the initial "p being
regularly dropped in Erse. The Pict5 would
not have left their name in ancient geography
unless they had been powerful and numerous.
The Germanic population OF Great Britain
rests on two racial substrata, the Welsh and
Picts, or more broadly speaking. on Celtlc
and British subsoil The original Britons' in
blood and physique as well as speech and Gus
toms showed strong Finnish afinities, but
the Welsh and Gaels and English, the whole
bunch Of Britishers, belong to the Aryan or
Indo European stock.

Russian Losses.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In regard to X. G.. Fritschng's letter
of July Is. 1915, and the Russian Losses
Severe" item. permit me 10 point out that
this news" was a fake originated by the
Overseas News Agency and sent broadcast
by wireless. At no time have the Russian
officials stated that from the beginning of
the Russian offensive TO July the number
Of Russians killed reached l4eOO officers and
PAS, 900 men. The story was invented in Ber-
lin so that the Russian victory could be min
imized.
may point out 20 you that it is not in the
Russian blood 10 cry about war losses. and
we will count our loss after the war is over.
And to say that that news item came from
official Russian reports is on par with the
100000 Russians captured by the Overseas
News Agency last year. So much for the
truth-frst 70 last.

Our Hopeless Manners.

When all else fails our magazine au'
thors sit down and dictate an essay upon
American manners, in serene confidence
that another kick at this battered victim
Of million cutting critics will please
everybody. Naturally there is nothing
very startling in the latest Of these as
saults in the current "Harper's.' Yet in
midsummer, when our own manners are
at their lowest ebb, it strikes us as dis
tinctly too much.
Aside from quoting the staple views
upon manners by Emerson, de Tocque-
vile and Charles Lamb and running in a
Chesterfield anecdote, this greatly de-
pressed critic finds most fault with our
national lack Of distinction and grace.
We are mo longer debonair." In the
years to come he describes "few traditions
of courtliness, scant reminders that
noblesse obhge and but scattered memo
ries Of inherited responsibilities. He
rolls up his eyes at our "petted, cajoled,
pampered, overdressed and underdisci-
plined" children, and sees hope only in a
social and economic revolution which SHAH
by some unexplained magic flower into "a
republic Of chivalry."
There cannot be any especial harm in
such an effort to tie a time-worn tin can
to the tail of democracy. But at the risk
of asking too much from brains on their
summer loaf we suggest that instead Of
Judging American manners by the stand
ards of courts and nobility these critics
test them by their fitness for present day
life. What is the sense of lamentlng
courtliness when courts are vanished?
Why prate of noblesse obhge when the
whole inspiration for the phrase is as dead
as Queen Anne? To hold up such mean
ingless ideals is to show an utter blind
ness to the whole reason and use of man.
ners. To cultivate such ideals success
fully would be to produce system as ut
terly false and self-conscious and vulgar
as manners could well be.
The glory of American manners as we
see them is that they are not-with few
ehCcpllOlio JlloL NOulib AOl NUN
-artifcially imposed from another
age or another country, but are the grad
ual, developing, imperfect expression of a
new democracy finding itself. A nation
in hurry, yes. A nation in state of
social fux, yes, and thank our stars there
for! But the essential of good manners is
neither slow elegance nor class demarca-
tions. 1t is courtesy and kindliness. If
these are present you have the supreme
use of manners, TO make human relations
comfortable and pleasant, and you have
as well beauty. And in essential courtesy
and kindliness we think Americans stand
well up on the list.
At any rate, that is the real question at
issue, rather than some bygone stand
ards of not-speaking- until-they spoken
to children or drawing room ritual that CO.
exists with brutality toward interiors un-
surpassed by savage tribes.

A Way to End Pork Hunting.

Getting a $4,000, 900 River and HarDor
act through Congress has elated and IN
virorated the pork hunters. If the Presl-
dent approves this vicious legislative
band-out. the signal will at once be given
for another raid on the Treasury IN the
shape of Public Buildings Appropriation
bill. The pork hunters are IN majority
IN each branch Of Congress. II the Presl-
dent is afraid TO defy them, no limit can
he put on their rapacity-except the limit
Of temporarily satisfied appetite.
Patriotic members Of Congress, who put
the interest Of the country as whole be
tore the interest Of their states and dis
tricts, are beginning to despair Of shak-
ing of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
system of spending the pubhc's money
Few Presidents can be expected to nave
the moral courage to veto pork measures
There are always a few justifiable ap-
nropriations mixed in with the unjustlhable
mes. It is easy for President to salve
his conscience by arguing that he has no
power to distinguish between the good
projects and the bad ones. He hesltates
N sacrifice the former in order to defeat
the latter.
In order TO meet this difficulty Repre-
sentative James, of Michigan, has IN
troduced an amendment to the Constitution
giving the President the right to veto
separate items in appropriation bills
This is a power which many Of the states
have vested their Governors-with ex-
cellent results. An Executive, represent
ing the country in its entirety, would thus
have a complete check on legislators,
ignoring the interests Of the whole Tor the
benefit of favored parts.
We can see no reason why the veto
royer of the President should not be thus
broadened and reinforced. He represents
at Washington the principle Of national
ism. while Congress represents, IN the
main, the principles Of sectionalism and
uarticularism. Anything that strengthens
the nationalistic influence in our scheme OF
Government cannot but be helpful, for our
greatest problem to-day is to nationalize
the country politically, economically and
spiritually. We cannot create real
Americanism until we stamp out section
alism, particularism and hyphenism.
We should all serve the nation first, and
cur states and local interests second. But
that lesson is still the hardest Of all for
Americans to learn, with their history
intertwined for two hundred years with
the traditions Of colonialism, Of state
sovereignty, of sectional prejudice and OF
localism in ambition and outlook.
If Congress cannot nationalize itself, 1t
would be wise 10 strip away from 1t the
license which it now enjoys TO parochlal-
ize expenditure. Federal appropriations
should have an absolutely Federal purpose
If Congress cannot rise to true applica-
ton of that theory, then the country must
look TO the President to apply and vlndl-
cate it. Let us put all the pork into one
big barrel, in the Presidents custody IN
stead of wastefully parcelling it out into
as many little barrels as there are Sena-
tors and Representatives.
