Has the great city of Philadelphia de-
scended so low that an official" appeal TO
her citizens to respect an important city

carlcature of the noble founder of the city

What must be the feelings of the hun

the name and fame of William Penn, when
from the official" notices on the passing

of the man who gave the city its name?
And as II to add insult to injury, why
is the intelligent public appealed to In

Has "Can your rubbish" and Get the

MEDICINAL VALUE or OPIUM

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-The individual who signs himself
H. l. Burke in your edition of yesterday
says he is a physician. Mr.. Burke's name
does not appear in the list of physicians in
the telephone book, Perhaps he is among
the 1900 physicians who object to have
their names in the directory. But there is
one H. l. Burke In the list of veterinary
surgeons. If that is the man. there is not
much danger of his patients getting the
drug habit.
Now, let us get into the heart of the
question. What is the use OF opium? And
who would suffer il its use were altogether
prohiblted?"
Opium contains twenty alkaloids Can al
kaloid is an organic base of vegetable
origin causing toxologlc effects). Nor
phine, which Is the principal alkalold in
opium, was discovered in 1877; codein and
heron have been isolated from opium since.
These drugs are generally used to relieve
pain and produce sleep. Would 1t not be
better to prevent pain and sleeplessness by
removing the septic condition which, nine
out Of ten times, is the only cause of the
trouble2
Among the very many purposes for
which opium or it's derivatives have been
used may be cited the following;
(a) To check (excessive) secretions in
diarrhea and dysentery. Are there no nom
toxic means OF obtaining the same end?
(b) To produce sweating in coryza, Has
It been clearly proved that sweating is de-
sIrable in the treatment OF 'colds"7 Be
sides, are there not forty, 400, or perhaps
1000 other remedies for colds?
(c) For gastro-lntestlnal troubles includ-
ing gastralgia and cholera morbus. There
are hundreds OF remedies for these all
ments. II morphine were the best remedy,
why retain all the others? And, II It Is
not the best, why use IL at alI7
Opium is used for many conditions. It
Is not a specific for any and 1t is full OF
dangers
"oplum." says Potter (Aiaterla MedIea),
Eat first stimulates and afteFward de-
presses the cerebrum (the chief portion OF
the brain), heart and respiratory appara-

"CUBS"

nIRECToR DATESMAN has corralled
~ an idea and put it to work. The
Society OF Cleanup Boosters, to be
known as Cubs asks no dues from
members, nor would 1t take from any
pocket single dollar. 1t gives away a
little tag, on which is printed what
ought to be a badge of honor, II Help
Keep My City Clean"
We hope to see 1t prominently dis
played in front of many business houses,
where now each morning faithful em.
ployes spend their time scattering the
dust from the pavement into the air,
and therefore into the nostrils and lungs
of inoffenslve citizens, who are already
overburdened by the high cost of living
and object to u new load of doctors
bills. We trust, too, that the tag will
hang from the implements of street clean
ing, even from the rubbish wagons, and
that in good time those who draw a
handsome profit under their contracts
to keep the streets in a clean condition
will also become Cubs" and even on
occasion cart dirt away in their own
receptacles instead of compelling human
beings to carry 1t in their bodies.
The dirty streets OF Philadelphia are
a reproach and the dust evil is a mon
strous crime. Director Datesman Is
right to call on all citizens to help in
permanent cleanup campaign. 1t gives
him an excellent opportunity to see that

WHY NOT THE TRUTH?

TNHE Record, which seems to glory In
l. the profound theory that If no public
money is spent none can be wasted,
bellows with delight over the proposed
tax increase, insisting that 1t Is vindi-
cation of the Records discretionary
attitude in transit affairs. Its chorus of
"I.told.you.sos" is predicated on its own
remarkable discovery that in some way
or other we are going to have the higher
tax because we are going to have modern
transit facilities. A remarkable discovery,
indeed! But 1t and truth are perfect
strangers.
The comprehensive transit program has
as much to do with the increased tax
rate as the administration of the island
Of Guam had to do with the recent voting
in Paris, Texas.

AN ANACHRoNIsM

SPECTACULAR efforts to get the
~ Adamson law before the Supreme
Court in the hope that decision as to
its constitutionality may be got before
January emphasizes a remarkable de-
feet in our system OF government
The Government should have the right
to refer at once any new statute to the
Supreme Court for prompt decision as
to its legality. The day the President
signed the Adamson law the law itself
should have been sent TO the supreme
Court, with a request for prompt con.
sderation of It.
Years ago, before the days of quick
communication delay in all affairs was
necessary, as much so in the Supreme
Court as elsewhere. But the ancient
method is today an anachronlsm, utterly
unattuned to modern conditions
Fortunately some Of the states have
already empowered their Governments to
secure decisions from the state Supreme
Courts in the manner described above 1t
is no experiment. 1t has been tested and
found satisfactory.
As the President was emphatic during
the campaign in declaring for certain
changes in legal procedure we trust that
the absurdity of the present situation will
be made by him the occasion for urging
the very necessary Improvement herein
proposed
