Rockaway Beach, May s. The
United States navy seaplanes start

their journey across the Atlantic via
Nova Scotia, this morning. The NC-3
carried Commander Towers, COM
mandent of the expedition and was

seaplanes circled about as the huge
air boats roared into their first jump
of the daring trip. Several dirigibles
were also in the air.
These six crafts We're expected to
form an escort during the journey as
far as Montauk Point, where the trail

was gray, with a mist over the water
before the planes started, but west
wind made the starting favorable.

PACIFIC COAST SENTIMENT

Sunset Magazine is a California
publication. Its editor is one of the
most reliable as we'll as one of the
most gifted newspaper writer's in all
the country lying west of the Rocky
Mountains. He ventures the opinion
that 60 per cent of the men and wo-
men of the Pacific coast and Pugent
sound sections are for the ratification
of the treaty, including the covenant,
but he also ventures the opinion that
the Shantung award is indefensible.
They never did like the Japs on the
Pacific coast.
They never did like the Chinese.
Californians are largely responsible
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1919-09-17

for the Chinese exclusion act signed by
Chester A. Arthur when President of
the United States.
More than so per cent of the peo-
pie of the coast and mountain states
of the west are opposed to the coming
of Chinese, Japanese, or Hindus. They
dread the presence of these so-called
alien races or their representatives
and they would close the ports for all
time.
Senator Hiram johnson was select
ed by Theodore Roosevelt to be his
running mate in 1912. California re-
publicans, standpatters and progress
sives are certain to get in behind Sen
: ator Johnson in 1920. He is their
choice for president of the United
States.
The Sunset magazine says SO and
yet the Sunset magazine editorially
, declares that SO per cent of the men
and women of all the states west of
the Rocky mountains are for the rati-
fication of the treaty and it's editor
predicts that, in the end, the treaty
will be ratified.

If Senator Hiram Johnson were to

do nothing more or less than DAN

TWO TREATY VIEWS

The public has been assured that
the highest motives prompt the advo-
Gates and the opponents of the treaty
of peace with Germany and the league
of nations covenant Little things
like calling each other un-American
because they held views contrary to
their own do not appear to have@cre-
ated the suspicion on the part OF in
dividual senators that they may be
influenced by craftsmanship.
When President Wilson entered
upon his trans-continental trip to tell
the nation his views on the treaty, he
gave assurance that he went as an
American citizen and not as a demo-
crat. Judging from the disturbance
which his remarks seem to be Great
ing in republican legislative ranks,
the presidents "non-partisan" talks
appear to be touching tender spots.
The republican majority Of the for
eign relations committee, in reporting
the treaty to the senate for general
discussion, issued what may be con-
sidered "a shot" political document,
and it is plain that a little thing like
treating the subject apart from poll
tics did not disturb the majority OF
the committee. The same may be
said of the minority report-the plain
purpose being to bolster up party
views.
In this connection it is of interest to
note the comments of two Pittsburg
newspapers-the Gazette Times, re-
publican, and the Post, democratic
The Gazette Times admits the "sar-
casm which runs through the report,
but it says that "its scorn OF its crit
les in high and low station is merit
ed "The report" says the Gazette
Times, SHOWS up the executive IN
manner that would make one less sat
isfied with himself vince.
All this, of course, is in the inter
est of the great American people ane
savors not whit of politics. Inc
committee has availed itself OF the
opportunity of "panning' the presl
dent and the democratic party, IN
stead of presenting dispasslonat'
opinion of the merits of the peace
treaty. The democratic minority re
mort simply confirms the convlctlol
that politics continues to play its par
in consideration of the treaty.
The Pittsburg Post, expressing on

that the shell and the coral from which
the cameo is cut comes from Italy.
This Is an error. They come from
Japan. Zanzibar, the West Indies and
Bermuda, so you see we are not much
farther away from the bases Of supply.
Cameo cutting is a thing that must
be learned from childhood. 1t must be
lived near and worked in when young.
There have only been few instances
where grown persons have success
fully learned the art. The had. or
scene is cut directly on the she'll or
coral. There is no pattern by which
to go any more than an artist or sculp-
tor has pattern.
I'VE are able to pay our workers

cameo art in portraiture. Americans
are open to Suggestion and love the

At the solicitation of the Depart
ment OF Health, Cornelius Il. Collins.
Justice of the Court OF Special Ses-
sions, wrote recently a monograph
upon the drug evil as he saw it from
the bench and therein he says:
"a study OF the statistics in New
York county alone indicated that
while the evil in so far as the use of
morphine, cocaine and opium was a
serious one, the whole three of them
put together were not nearly as seri-
Gus as the growth of the heroln habit.
The heroin habit has grown to ex-
tremely large proportions In way
that was absolutely appalling, dis
tressful not only to the we'll being of
those addicted, but to the we'll being
Of the State, because, If permitted to
continue in the degree in which II has
taken root, It would threaten very dire
results and conditions which would
call for general public activity.
"A study of the facts indicated that
the heroin habit strikes particularly
the youth. While great deal has
been said Of addiction on the part Of
children, II is quite negligible. In the
Childrens Court drug addict is quite
rare. At the age of sixteen even there
were no drug addicts for three months
in Special Sessions. Yet as II nature
drew line, from sixteen years OF
age on, they We're quite numerous.
Between the ages of seventeen and
twenty-five there were such large
number of heroin victims that the av-
errge age Of victims may be fixed
at twenty-five years, and that average
age is made up in the period OF fve

successful in concealing his or her
disease from his or her family. This
type would quite gladly choose sudden
death as an alternative rather than
share his or her secret. The majority
OF such addicts are members of most
respectable families. The shame at
taching itself to their addiction is al
ways In their minds. The disgrace
they assume will attach itself to their
families in the event OF publicity is
not to be thought of. This class will
be the hardest to reach as a matter
of fact almost impossible to uncover
Also this class is the least menacing
of all.
The system of Treating.
DR.. Copeland's system OF treatment
of the drug addict incurs tapering
off Of daily dosages until the patient
is in shape for scientific institutional
care. His method is set forth by DIR.
Earnest f. Bishop. clinical professor,
professor of medicine, New York
Polytechnic Medical School DIR. Bishop
says:
In the minds of too many OF the
administrative and judicial and legls-
lative authorities. and even of our own
profession, the taking OF narcotic
drugs is still the main issue to be
stopped irrespective OF all other con-
siderations, at once by whatever
means violent or otherwise. DO we
stop to think, or have we any concep-
ton or suspicion of what it would
mean IL all narcotic addicts were de-
prived of their supply or compelled to
Immediately enter upon protracted
treatment at once or within a short
time. Tho result would be disastrous
and spectacular. Many, probably a
majority of narcotic addicts are up
right responsible citizens. They have
tried every available method Of cure
and relief presented TO them. You
don't have 20 force these men to take
treatment. Many of them have al.
ready taken all the treatments that
nave come to their attention. II is
about time that we realized the facts
of this matter

good source OF income for the doctor
to take such chances with or the
doctor held off SO informing him out

so on.
For just such ansuspecting drug
addicts, DR.. Copeland caused to be
published the legal definition OF an
addict, thus:
ANY person who has needed or de-
manded the administering, prescribe
ing for, or dispensing OF cocaine,
opium or their derivatives at more or
less regular intervals for thirty con-
secutive days prior to the time such
person applies to a physician or
physician OF any institution for the
administering, prescribing for or dis
pensing OF any such drugs or their
derivatives; provided, however that
