Use and Abuse of Narcotics Cannot
With Justice Be Laid to 4he
White Race.

The use of cocaine and tobacco as
narcotics was begun by the aborigines
long before the new world was dis
covered by white men. Cocaine is
derivative of cocoa. Natives mixed
it with dried cocoa leaves, lime or 9th
er alkalis, or shells ground fine This
was chewed by the natives along the
west coast of South America. The
practice of mixing alkalis with narcot-
les was also practiced by tobacco
chewers in sections adjoining the
cocoa chewers" land. Then it sud
denly made its appearance on the Pa
eeific coast of North America. Just
how this happened is a puzzling eth
biological problem. as the two coun-
tries are so widely separated.
Taking snuff was correlated with
the chewing habit. Smoking was the
most widely distributed method OF rs
ing tobacco. Three original wags

tainly showed the hard use we had
given it. About midnight we started
down a little grade on a lonely stretch
OF road and found at the bottom that
the road was blocked by two large
machines with licenses from West

We stopped, of course, and expected
one machine to pull aside. Instead
two men walked back to our car and
looked us over Then one called: "An
right" and the road was cleared.

New York "Dryp Lono Aoo.

At one time the whole state OF
New York was under a drastic pro-
hibition law. This was after Maine
voluntarily turned itself into a dry
camp. When Maine took this ac-
tion in 1851, it had a profound effect
on New York's citizens. Accordingly
strict dry law was passed by the
New York legislature in 1854. but Gov
ernor Seymour vetoed the act.
The gubernatorial action caused
one of the hottest temperance cam
paigns ever waged in America, and
the Wings, favoring temperance, NOM
mated Myron II. Clark for governor,
and the campaign was fought out on
the question of prohibition. Governor
Seymour was renominated, and was
supported by the liquor element. but
was defeated by scant 300 votes.
Following the election the legislature
in 1855 passed another law Tor the
prevention of intemperance, pauperism
and crime" which was very severe
measure. 1t was in force for II months.
In 1856 the court Of appeals declared
the law imperative and unconstitu-
tional.

MANY instances could be quoted of
men who, from civil or comparatively
humble occupations, have risen to inn

"A sehoolmaster, lawyer, a taxicab

commanded brigades
"cAe editor has commanded a d.

an assistant secretary of haberdash-

geant and many private soldiers have
risen to command battalions.
'tCierks have commanded batteries.
"A schoolmaster, a collier, the son
of a blacksmith, an iron molder. an
instructor in tailoring, an assistant
gas engineer. a grocer's assistant, as
well as policemen clerks and privates,
have commanded companies and acted
as adjutants"
These instances are not strange.
They show possession of military in

TO be displayed.
Analysing further, of course, it
could be abundantly shown that some
men. although given high rank, fell
down lamentably when opportunity
