THE underground traffic is esti-
mated to be equal in magnitude to
that carried on through legitimate
channels. This trade is in the hands
of the so-called dope peddlers,' who
appear to have national organiza-
ton for procuring and disposing of
their supplies. For the most part it
is thought that they obtain their
supplies by smuggling them from
Mexico or Canada, although smaller
quantities of these drugs are
obtained from INSCRIPTIONS dealers
in this country by theft"
Americans Worst Addicts.
One of the most painful features
of the report is that depicting the
native-born American as leading in
the consumption of drugs. The
order of frequency of addiction,
brought out by one of the COM
mittee's questionnaires is as fol-
lows:
American, Italian, Irish, English,
Russian, Jewish, French, negro or
Chinese, Mexican or Austrian, Ger
man or Canadians.
In addition, the majority of immi-
grants listed as addicts did not
reach their unfortunate state until
they had been in the United States
for some time.
Editors note: Three weeks ago
The Bee published the first of a
number of stories charging that a
drug ring existed in Omaha and
that the illegal sale of drugs in this
city was increasing.
The city authorities, particularly
Chief of Police Eberstein, instead
of demanding and starting an inves.
tigation to verify this story, imme-
diately started crusade to dis
credit it.
He called to his assistance DR..
Jennie Callfas, secretary of the
Welfare board and founder of the
Detention home, who was entrust-
ed with the duty of delivering GER
tain affidavits to other newspapers
denying The Bees story. In this
work DR.. Callfas also enlisted the
services of some of the leading
members of the Woman's club, who
had been led to believe this paper
was making a political fight instead
of fight solely for civic improve
ment.
Today The Bee still charges that
a dope ring exists in Omaha and
that it is directly affiliated with the
national organization, or. trust of
which the government report
speaks. The Bee further charges
that there are drug peddlers in
Omaha who have received, and still
are receiving, protection, and that
no effort has ever been made by the
city authorities to reach the real
"higher-ups," who are amassing a
fortune in the drug traffic.
The Bee re-asserts that the treat
ment of drug addicts in the Deten-
ton home has never resulted in
single cure and that all the home
patients return to the underworld
upon their. release to continue the
use of drugs.)

commended by the president.

of the president, and some people

the ocean, comes his voice urging
that women shall be given equal
rights with men. That voice will be

Representative Mann, in closing
debate on behalf of supporters of
the resolution, said he had hoped
discussion would proceed without
reference to the presidents attitude
on the suffrage question, adding
amid republican cheers:
ut is true the president and
leaders of the party often have

Two Amendments Proposed.
Only two amendments to the
resolution were offered in the house
and each was defeated without a
roll call. Representative Clark pro-
posed that it be made necessary for
state Legislatures to complete ratifi-
cation within seven years, while Rep
resentative Saunders, democrat, of
Virginia, proposed that ratifica ton
be by the voters of the states in
stead of the assemblies.
After passing the resolution the
house adjourned until noon tomor-
