Mr.. Murphy have now made ar
rangements for a vacant lot for a gar
den next year. 1t is heavily sodded.
Would it be better to pillow it this fall
or next spring?-D. F. P.
Answer-It will be decidedly advan-
tageous to pillow the sod under this
fall. 1t will then have a chance to rot
by next spring.

Furnishing the Sick

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: After years of study and legislation
our efforts to eradicate the drug evil must
be confessed a total failure. There is an
cver-increasing army of unfortunate addicts,
most, if not all, Of whom have become in
volyed innocently.
We have made laws making it a crime to
sell narcotic drugs, and rightly so, but to our
everlasting shame we must admit that we
have bounded and punished the unfortunate
addict. who is suffering from a disease. the
drug disease, the sufferngs of which surpass
anything the mind can conceive. The lay
man, in his ignorance, may say: Deprive the
addict Of his drug, and, being unable to get il,
he will perforce be cured. As we'll deprive
the poor of bread, because the drug of adj
diction is as necessary to life as food TO the
normal individual. The body Of person ad-
dicted to narcotics, such as morphine, heroin
or cocaine, manufactures an antitoxic sub
stance, protecting the body against the poi
sonous effects of the drug. If this were not
so any one could take with impunity the dose
required by the addict, whereas We know tina.
4 normal individual would be killed by such
IN amount. This antitoxic substance, being
in itself poison, calls for the drug to neu-
traize IT, and il the drug is not forthcoming
the familiar withdrawal symptoms, nervous
ness, sweating. vomiting and collapse. all due
TO the excess of un-neutralized anttoXin, arc
manifested and continue till the drug is OBJ
tanned or until in severe cases the patient
dies. How foolish then to say: you shall
not have the drug Suffer and die" 1t is
this attitude Of the community that causes
the illicit drug seller to exist, because it is
an memorable law that where there is de.
mand there will be supply.
The remedy is an easy one Make it lawful
for any addict to go to any hospital or dis
pcnsary and obtain at cost the drug he re.
qures, at the same time offering advice and
giving treatment when desired, and the drug
sellers would be out of business in month
Not until we have progressed to this point
and held out the hand of kindness and fel.
lowship TO the unfortunate victims Of this
disease shall we have solved this most press.
ing problem of modern medicine.

The Full Crew Law Under Fire

When the railway tralnmen's unions De-
gan their campaign for special privileges
q few years ago New Jersey was one OF
the first states to have inflicted on 1t a
"full crew law" The operation of mat
measure in the first year, they figured, cost
the companies 100000 for employment Of
men whom they did not need and whose
presence added nothing to the value of the
railroad service to the public. either IN con-
venience or safety. Now the New Jersey
Chamber of Commerce has Joined with the
State Grange in an effort to have the Leg
islature repeal that law. They ought to
be successful.
The trouble with this full crew" law,
as with every other one, is that 1t IS a
Ihard-and-fast rule applied without proper
consideration Of conditions and clrcum-
stances. II compels the railroads to en-
plov a given number of men in the crew
of a certain kind of train, whether or not
the business and operating conditions JUS
tify or make necessary that number of
men. This arbitrary handling of the rail-
roads business for them by the Legislature
may seem to be no concern of the ordinary
citizen, but it is. The incomes of the rail
roads are fixed, rigidly, by rate schedules
made by government authority. The week S
wages of brakeman if that brakeman is
not needed arc wasted. Spent for him,
they cannot be made up to the railroads by
an increase of rates. If money is not IN
the treasury it cannot be spent for new
steel cars, for new signal systems or other
safety devices, for the adjustment OF grade
crossings, for the many other things when
a modern railroad must have for the efli-
cient handling of the public's business and
for the comfort and safety of the travel
lers on it. If the 100000 a year or more
which this law costs the New Jersey rail-
roads is all wasted, as they maintain, the
public is deprived of real protection which
that sum would buy.
Advocates Of full crew legislation have
never successfully demonstrated their con-
tention that these extra men do protect the
public. In New Jersey, as in other states
with such laws, there is Public Service
Commission, trained TO deal with railroad
problems. The natural and proper course
would be to let this body decide, after due
investigation, how many men should be re
ouired in a train crew of any particular
class, in order to protect the travellers
without wasting the railroads money. The
railroads would gladly agree to this. OBJ
lection to this course arises because 1t
might leave some union trainmen without
their present jobs.
In deciding whether it will back the full
crew law repeal The public must choose be-
tween real protection and alleged protec-
ton. The farmers and business men across
the river have decided against the train
mems unions brand as set forth in the eX-
istjnp law
