DRUG ACT APPLIES
ONLY TO DEALERS



Washington, June 5.-The supreme
court today interpreted the Harrison
federal drug act of 1914, making it
unlawful for any person not register
ed under the law 10 have opium In
his possession as applying only to
those who deal in the drug .and not
to those who use it.
The Harrison drug act. enacted bv
congress in 1914 and pronouncing it
unlawful for any person not register
cd under its terms to have in his pos
session any opium or its derivative
was an outgrowth of the international
opium agreement of 1912.
For years the United States made
efforts to aid the suppression of the
opium traffic. 1t joined in the meet
ing of an International commission in
shanghai China, in 1909, to encour-
age Oriental countries to suppress the
traffie. Later it suggested and
brought about a convention OF ma
tlons in 1912 with full powers to act
on the subject. A treaty was drafted
declaring that the signatories should
take measures for gradual and eff
caeious suppression of the use of pre-
pared opium and should enact nhar-
macy laws and regulations limiting
use to a medical and legitimate pur-
pose and to Cooperate to prevent its
use fer any others.
No steps were taken to put the
treaty into force in the United States
until 1913, although nearly all the
other countries concerned had acted.
some enaeting very drastic laws.
shortly after President Wilson came
INTO office he sent a message TO the
house accompanied by a report of the
secretary of state. urging legislation
to place the United States in right
ful position before the world in re-
gard to The subject. The Harrison
law was the result.

decision of the supreme court on
June II, 1913, in the case of Matte
w. Jackson, land owner who had
sued the government for damages in
the court of claims. The supreme
court held that damages could not be
recovered.
About the time Of this decision
john b. Cubbins, OF Memphis, Tenn,
on his own behalf and on behalf of
all other members Of the Riparian
Land Owners Protective association
was bringing suits in the federal dis
trict courts in Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee and Arkansas to enjoin the
Mississippi river commission and va
rlous state levee boards from main
tanning or further constructing leyees
along the river. He sought to dis
tinguish his cases from the Matte
w Jackson case, but the district
courts decided against him and he ap-
pealed TO the supreme court. The
appeals constituted the basis for the
action today.
The effort to distinguish the cases
from the Jackson case was based first
on the contention that the Jackson
land was subject to overflow at times
before the levee construction across
the river by the government whereas
the Cnbbins land was not so subject
to overflow previous to levee con
struction. Secondly, it was contended
that the Jaeksons built a levoe on
their land before the construction of
the levee on the opposite side of the
river and hence they could not com
plain when the others did that which
they themselves had done.

nut suits and slouch hats of the type
then worn by frontiersmen. The
volunteers used that uniform through
out the entire Chihuahua campaign In
New Mexico, when General Kearney
reviewed the regiment, he called the
troops q collection of ragamufflns
and ordered them into regulation uni
forms without delay. The men re-
fused to wear the army blue on the
grounds that their butternut clothes
were better adapted for desert cam
naigning and their slouch hats gave
them better protection from the sun
than regulation caps.
The khaki Of our present troops re
sembles butternut somewhat.
The regular army did not adopt the
black slouch hat Immediately. by
the time OF the civil war the black
slonch hat was used by mounted off
GERS and some troops, notably a Wis
consin regiment Most of the confed-
crate soldiers used slouch hats.
Following the civil war the army
acquired most of its experience on the
western plains The small caps then
provided were not suitable for frontier
work. A service hat was devised and
thousands manufactured in 1870.
They had rigid brim and crown. 1t
was soon abandoned as clumsy and
softer hat. on the plalnsman order,

That service hat afforded good pro-
lection from the sun, but its flexible
brim was annoying in windy weather.
Later issues brought narrower brim,
but It was still more or less inconven-
tent, However, its many advantages
caused its adoption.
The most persistent criticism Of the
American service hat has been its lack
of military smartness Army officers

LATEST FROM HUGHES.

The newspapers Of the country are
asking what Justice Hughes stands
for. The justice has not been in Il
position for long time 10 say any
thing on politics. About the last thing
along That line was back IN the early
DAYS of 1908, when he addressed the
Republican club Of New Yofk City
on the issues OF the approachine pres
idential campaign. Here is what he
said then about preparedness:
I'VE are devoted TO the interests cf

practice are faee-readers. A consid-
cradle part of our attitude toward our
fellows is determined by what we see

come surprisingly accurate face-read-
ers in regard to moral and emotional
tendencies. And we also read just as
well when the face indicates either
internal or external disease. The
tense, drawn features indicating con-
tinued pain from some internal all

the many skin diseases, which speak
too plainly for themselves, because

TEDDY AND TIE BOSSES.

From Chicago comes the interest
irg Information that the bosses of the
republican party-those affluent gen
tlemen who SO often have felt the hot
breath Of Rooseycltlpn wrath MS ex-
pressed In unmistakably vigorous
words-~are sorely put to II to deter
nlnc whether or not the man who
disrupted the party four years ago
shall be allowed to lead 1t this year.
The bosses. like the colonel him
self. are practical men. First OF all,
they want winner. The sentimental
glory of going down to defeat In be-
half Of a principle appeals to them
not at all. They believe that Hughes
has a good chance to beat Wilson. As
to Roosevelt they are not so certain.
Reing practical men, they desire to
be shown.
The great objection TO Hughes,
from the standpoint Of the bosses, Is
that he cannot be bundled. They
know that from bitter experience As
governor Of New York he was his
own man, ana while never so violent
in speech as Roosevelt he was far
more definite In action when il came
to dealing with the men who tried TO
use him for their own purposes. 1t
ls 60 be presumed that as president
OF The United States he would be not
less independent and unmanageable
than az governor Of New York.
Hughes would not be the ideal presi-
dent as the bosses see him, but he
would be vastly better than no repub-
lican president at all,
on the other hand, despite the ve-
hemence of Rooseveltlan words, the
bosses have always found that Roosc-
veltian deeds were another and an al
together different matter. There has
never been time since the dag
when the colonel undertook to plant
the root OF righteousness In Bill
Barnes and Kept frequent counsel
with Tom Plat that they have not
found 1t possible TO do business with
him when necessity required. The
colonels words have no terror for
them. for as before stated, the bosses
and the colonel, each and all, are in
tensely practical men.
And so It happens that The bosses
are put to a choice between u man
that they don't want but that they
believe can win ana a man that they
are willing to take but that they are
afraid cannot win. II is sorely per-
picking situation and one that will
arouse the sympathy Of tender-heart-
the bosses suffer mental anguish.

LABOR AND THE NATIONAL
GUARD.

The Journal prints elsewhere a
communication from J. II. Sylvester,
Of Flagstaff, Ariz. In which he at
tempts TO excuse Americans for not
being willing TO enlist In the army.
He blames the whole matter upon the
capitalists who do not pay wages
enough to American labor, and who
hire iaborers from old Mexico In
stead,
The point Is not wen taken. The
Journal has not condemned the la
boring man, more than the son of the
capitalist for not cnllstlng. We have
condemned the apathy everywhere.

Is work in the United States at good

liberty, his future, his all.

But II they should not enlist quite
