Drug Clinic a Failure

.. full

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Municipal dis
pensatiOn Of drugs through narcotic
drug clinics is generally conceded to
have been Il failure, reports a commit
tee on narcotic drugs and crime APP
pointed by the American Institute Of
Criminal Law and CriminolOgy.
The report was written by DR.. l..
l.. Stanley, resident physician of the
California State prison at San Quen-
TIN, for presentation at the twelfth
annual meeting of the institute at In
dianapOliS September 1918.
DIR. Stanley adds that "probably no
more municipalities will establish
clinics Of this type"
Government monopoly Of the man
ufacture of opium derivatives is rec
ommended in the report. DR.. Stanley
urges that 1t be put on a plan some
what similar to the minting of mon
ey."
Narcotic drug clinics cited by DR..
Stanley are those established at New
York, New Orleans, Los Angeles and
San Diego He CharacterizeS the fail
ure of the New York clinic, which
closed early this year after II months
operation, as "One of the two out
standing features in the past two
years developments in regard to the
drug addiction problem"
Reasons for the discontinuance Of
the New York clinic are thus sum-
| married. in the report:
1T was found that of the 400 drug
| addicts who attended the clinic for
their narcotics, less than 5000 were
willing to go to a hospital for treat
ment, with ultimate cure in sight The
officials Of the department were con-
vlnced that it was not the proper pro-
cedure to give narcotic drugs to ad-
diets for self-administration.
Some addiCtS sold the excess OBJ
tanned at the clinic to other addicts
or peddlers. There was fraud in OBJ
| tanning the drug. Friends Of addicts
became habitues through association
with beneticiaries of the clinic With
very few exceptions, no cures were
known to have been effected by means
of the reduction system used. Ambula-
tory treatment was found to be vicious
in principle and in effect; there is no
need for prolonging addiction by q
| continued supply of narcotics"
With the failure of the clinic and
the aroused interest in narcotic drag
! addictions continues the report, the
Question arises, what are you going 10
do. about it? There seems to be no
| concerted effort to deal with il as The
government has dealt, with alcoholic
liquors." says DR.. Stanley. The man.
ufacture, transportation and distribu-
ton of narcotics has not been cur
tailed, except as to dispensing by the

Funds Needed to ~','...
s& Win Victory
The Democrats Have an Excel
lent Chance to Elect Cox and
Roosevelt If Money is Pro-
vided to Carry the Mes
sage to the Public

The following letter, which accom-
panied u second contribution of five
dollars to the Cox Roosevelt campaign
fund, states the case so clearly and
conCisely that Il is recommended to
the careful consideration Of the Dem
ocrats of Sumter county. Money is
needed for campaign literature and
for paying the expenses of speakers
who are touring the doubtful states to
carry the message of democracy to
the masses OF the people. The Demo-
cratic party has no alliance with the
big financial interests, and even were
1t desirable - is Impossible for the
;;Irty leaders to raise Il slush fund of
mun; millions, as the Republicans are
doing H., ievying assessments on the
Industrial centers. Democratic cam
paign fund must come in small con-
tributions from the people themselves
who believe in real democracy, as
represented by Cox and Roosevelt.

Travel Cost Increased
Foreign Governments Raise the

Budapest, Sept. 1.-THE cost OF
travel for Americans i'm Central Eu-
rope and Balkan countries is reach
ing extortionate proportions through
the tendency to charge Americans the
same price for passport vises as that
OF the American government for for
eigners, which recently was incrt IS

is continued. ah American in the
course of "a few days journey pass
ing several frontiers. may have, to pay
$50 to $50 i'm vises.
For travellers of all nationalities
however, the charge has been rapid
iy increasing during the past six
months. The Germans began the
high charges, demanding $5. Then
Austrial followed suit with the same
charge and Hungary and other cOun-
tries have been obliged 10 make like
charges. Because OF the huge reve-
nue. so obtainable, passports are Sc
verely examined, more 80 than in war
time.
Under pretext of obstructing boil
shevik travel, guards at frontiers
ruthlessly turn back travellers Mithout
proper vises ...
I Because Of this unneighbOrly prac-
tee, 1t is difficult for citizens of a
foreign country to pass hOmeward
Budapest is now full of thousa nds Of
people who, under the new frontiers
hXed by the peace conference. are sub
Jects of Rumania or JugO- Slavia but
can 1T get passport viscs home to
their property. In one instance Amer
leans used their good offices TO get
,viseS for two widows, formerly Hun
garians but whose farms are now in
Serbia. They had waited eight months
TO get permission to travel $50 miles.
The office OF American High Com
missioner Grant-Smith at Budapest is
daily besieged by hundreds of people
who wish to go to Amerlla or to Sc
cure help TO reach their homes in
Czeeho-Slovakia, or other countries.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Chicago has a

feet in circumference at the base, 80
feet high and estimated to be 1000
years old.
The big maple stands in the Cook

the tree and computed its age, found

Motor Truck Speed
Highway Department Preparing
Regulations to Govern Traffic

Columbia. Sept, 1l.---RuIes govern
Ing the speed of motor trucks, the
operation OF trucks and cars and gen
eral highway regulations are being
prepared by the state highway depart
ment. following conference with
members OF the South Carolina au-
tomotive association lin Columbia dur
ing the past few days These regula-
tlons are to be printed in book form
and distributed to all car uyylCrs,
along with the 1921 license plates.
The recommendation of the automo-
tive men will be the basis of the reg
ulations .E
The automobile men suggested and
the suggestion will probably be the
new rule, that the speed of motor
trucks equipped with pneumatic tires
ne twenty mikes an hour; that trucks
with hard tires be 10 miles an hour;
the speed OF automobiles is fixed by
statute. -
The auto men sugg gested to- the
highway department that every motor
ucktusing the public highways be re-
CURED TO caA mirror attached to
the windshielW so that the driver can
see vehicles approaching from the
rear. r.I ..
Passenger cars will have right of
way over trucks. ..."
No chains will be allowed on the
wheels OF motor vehicles except when
the roads are Vet and demand the
use of chains. III. ....,...
DINNERS must be used at night
when other cars approach within two
hundred feet. When cars are not
equipped with DINNERS but with 9th
er devices, such, as lowering light or
spot light. the light must fall within
four feet Of the ground at a distance
of two hundred feet. g..
The weight OF trucks Is also to be
regulated. The auto men have sug-
gested that "a >two-ton truck have
twenty-five inches of tires, at least,
four inch tires fore and seven inch
tires on the the rear wheels. The load
and two-ton truck together must not
weigh over nine thousand pounds For
q three-ton truck the tires must total
"a inches; for four-toh truck, 2S
inches; for a fve-ton truck, thirty two
inches. u'N
The automobile men made other
recommendations, and the highway
department will also probably take
some action on these Among these
are that all bridges be posted AS to
the speed and load they will carry,
warning as to the sounding of horns
az curves, the width Of loads, and
other highway matters.
The regulations Of the highway de-
partment will have the force of law,
the 1870 highway act authorizing the
commission to pr0mulgate regulations
governing traffic on the state high
ways. ....

h Dear Sir: From very recent infor-
nation from q friend who is on the

Indiana, am fully convinced that we
are practically sure of carrying both
states for Cox and Roosevelt If the
splendid campaign thus far waged can
be carried TO proper conclusion. L
have information from authoritative
sources, beyond question, that the
campaign In these and other states is
being seriously hampered by lack of
funds, and that the only hope Of suf-
iicient funds is from popular subscrip-
tions from the masses. There is too
much at stake, especially in the south,
for the people tc fail at this crucial
time, so not only should eevry loyal
Democrat, man or woman, give, but
they should give literally and give
at once, while those who have already
done SO should at least double up.
where they are able, do it cheerfully
and do it quickly.
J., enclose check duplicating my first
subscription.
