SUCCESS

Disraeli said "A persistent pur-
pose is the key to success"
A passing fancy to save a dollar,
if acted upon, will start a savings
account to be sure, and so will one
brick start a building; but If there
is no persistent purpose to add
other dollars and other bricks no
success can be expected.
A savings account regularly add

The Fight Against Dope.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

A little more than a year has passed
since the Harrison anti-narcotic law
went into effect, and it is now possible
in some degree to make an accounting
of it. There is no doubt but what 1T
has been effective. and it is also GER
tain that its success has been won at a
terrific expense in pain and crime.
Thousands of persons have suffered.
and some of them have died. as result
of being deprived of drugs to which
they had been addicted for years. A
whole system of smuggling has been
built up to supply their insistent de-
mand, and with this system the federal
officers have waged dramatic battle.
The Harrison law has frequently been
referred to as the most comprehensive
and effective law yet devised for
minimizing the traffic in drugs. 1t
marks an epoch in the history of anti
narcotic legislation because of the fact
that 1t provides a new and original
method of controlling the manufacture,
sale and use of prescribed drugs from
| the time they are imported until they
reach the consumer. 1t requires every
| one who handles narcotics to register.
| pay tax and keep careful record of
| all transactions on forms sold by the
government. Being itself not a reg
ulatory or a police measure. the fed
| eral law cannot be expected to take
| the place of the state laws designed to
| restrict the sale and use of habit-form-
| ing drugs. Legislators. recognizing the
| Limitations of the federal law, have,
| during the past year, endeavored to
elaborate on the provisions of this law
| by the enactment of state laws which
would serve to control some of the
m n h.
| ed by the federal law.
