The growth of the use of drugs and
opiates is likely to figure largely in the
coming campaign for ami against the
adoption of the national prohibition
amendment. Congressman Meeker Of
Missouri made an allusion to the sub
iect in the house and OF TIE same time
had printed in the Record a mass of
medical data showing that alcohol
moderately used was not harmful, but
necessary in some cases. At the same
time it is doubtful if arguments like
these or any other kind will stay the
prohibition movement.

The belief Is growing that gov
eminent ownership of railroads, and
of the telegraphs and telephones
as well, has come to stay. While
there may be many arguments for
and against the policy, the most
potent factor will be the votes of q
CC0000 men employed in the railroad
service whose wages have been in
creased since the government took
over the roads. 1t is true that the in
creases did not come out of the reve-
nl.es of the railroads, but are made up
out of the federal treasury. No one
knows better than these railroad en-
pIoyees that TO return the railroads to
private control and management will
mean a reduction OF their wages; the
feet that the wage increases come out
of the treasury rather than the earn

fication to the railroad men as to what

One of the prominent government Of
ficials told story the other day which
is worth repeating. An old colored
man whom the official knew had 500
Liberty bond which some one wanted
to buy from him for 500. But the old
darky was wise. Why, he asked, should
he give up one promise of the United
States government to pay him $1OO
with interest in exchange for the same
governments promise to pay him $96.
without interest? If everybody who
purchases a Liberty bond would stop
and think calmly before selling it be-
low par, he could not help but see that
the old negro had the right idea. Both
the bond and the currency are govern
ment promises and one is backed up by
exactly the same security as the other

sourcefulness and determination Of a
young American traveller. There are
bandits, mystery, intrigue and peril
enough in the story to satisfy the most

piece is conceived that vein of high

others. The new Fairbanks leading
