port of the bureau of crop statistics of

MUNICIPAL DIS
PENSATION OF

According to Committee on Narcotic
Drugs and Crime Appointed By
American Institute of Criminal
Law and Criminology.
Law and Criminology

Chicago, Sept Municipal dispen-
sation of drugs, through narcotic drug
clinics. is generally conceded to have
been a failure, reports a committee on
narcotic drugs and crime appointed by
the American Institute OF Criminal
Law and Criminology
The report was written by Dr. j.
l.. Stanley. resident physician OF the
California state prison at San Quentin!
for presentation at the twelfth annual
meeting Of the institute at indianapolis
September 1918.
Dr. Stanley adds that probably no
more municipalities viii establish elm
les of this type
Government monopoly of the manu-
faeture of opium derivaties is recon-
mended in the report. DIR. Stanley
urges that il be put on plan some
what similar to the minting of money.
Narcotic drug clinics cited by DR.
Stanley are those established at New
York. New Orleans, Los Angeles and
San Diego. He oharaeterizes the fail
ure of the New York clinic, which
closed early this year after months

tion problem.
Reasons for the discontinuance Of
the New York clinic are thus sum

1T was found that of the 400 drug
addicts who attended the clinics for
their narcotics. less than 1000 were Will
ing to go to hospital for treatment
with ultimate cure in sight. The OH
cials Of the department were convinced
that il was not the proper procedure 70
give narcotic drugs To addicts for sell
administration.
Some addicts sold the excess OBJ
tained at the clinic TO other addicts or
peddlers. There was fraud in obtain
ING the drugs. Friends of sddiets be,
came habitues through association
with benefciaries of the clinic With
very few exceptions. no cures were
known TO have been effected by means
of the reduct ion system used. Ambu-
latory treatment was found to be "
cious in principle and in effect; there is
no need for prolonging addiction by a
continued supply of narcotics

the aroused interest in narcotic drug
addicitiens. continues the report. the
question arises. What are YOU going Ia

concerted effort 10 deal with it a. the

SMASHING PLURALITY
FOR THE REPUBLICANS
PREDICTED IN MAINE
cox DEFENDS LEAGUE.
Says 1t Was the Product of 500 OF
Best Minds of World.

Walla Walla, Wash, Sept. ll.--De-
tense of the league of nations and dis
cussion of Republican campaign meth
ods shared the attention of Governor
Cox of Ohio, Democratic candidate for
the presidency, in his address last
night.
The governor arrived aboard a spe-
cial train from Spokane, where he en-
tered the state from Montana yester-
day, and delivered here the third set
address of the day. He had spoken
twice yesterday forenoon at Spokane
once to a crowd of first voters and
again at the interstate fair and late
yesterday at Pasco.
Governor Cox declared that the
league of nations, instead of being a
British league" or Wilson league,
as he said the Republicans have
charged, was really the product of GER
tainly mo less than 500 of the best
minds in all the civilized nations.
He declared that several of the lead
ers of the Republican party had an
active part in its formation, mention
ing in this connection former Presi-
dent Taft, former Justice Hughes and
Elihu Root.
"Ex- President Taft offered four
amendments, all of which were adopt.
ed" he declared. Judge Hughes offered
seven amendments, five of which were
adopted; Elihu Root suggested SIX
amendments and the substance of FIVE
of these found their way into the final
covenant, in several instances. Mr..
Roots exact words being introduced.
"Mr. Root even approved the lnclu-
sion of article 10 for period of FIVE
wears. Does any Republican honestly
think that if Mr.. Root believes article
10 would sacrifice our sovereignty, he
would have advocated that we sell our
selves into. political bondage for any
neriod however briefg"

excitement of previous years. but the
speakers Of national Importance who
have stumped the state until local
issues and even the personality OF can
didates have been submerged in what
has amounted to battle between the
two great political parties for moral
victory in the first test of strength IN
the presidential election year, have
everywhere been greeted by large and
intensely serious audiences. The issue
of the league of nations has been dis
eussed the most prominently by speak
ers from outside the state.
The Republicans have had the benefit
of an excellent organization In the
campaign, and the Democrats, who
perhaps have not been so well organ
lied and have complained of lack OF
funds, have had the services of some
ef the ablest mehs in the national or
ganizaticn.
F. ID. Roosevelt, Democratic candidate
for vice president, has toured thetstate
and was intending to stump Hancock

SAYS REPUBLICANS
ARE STRADDLTNC
Secretary of the Navy Daniels Attacks
Speech by Coolidge in
Portland.

Kittery, Me-. Sept, ll.-The Republi-
can attitude toward the league of ma
tions was described as straddle and
the party was accused of paltering
with the greatest moral issue that ever
confronted mankind, in an address by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels at a
political rally here to-day.
Secretary Daniels referred TO the
speech of Governor Coolidge IT Port
land AS a dextrous attempt to extri-
cate his party from its selfish and
parochial position" and said the bur
den of the governors address was that
America must mix with men and
prosper and not isolate itself from the
world.
The first half of his speech said
Mr.. Daniels, was TO declare for Amer
lean participation in world affairs and
il was essentially sound. But by res-
son Of the straddle policy of his party
Governor Coolidge had to repudiate his
splendid recital of American duty ia
the world, as well as to itself. and he
made a lame and impotent conclusion
by approving Harding's toothless
Hague tribunal and lodging such reser-
vstions to the league as were put there
TO befog the issue and enable Repub.
lican senators 20 scuttle without as
suming responsibility for going back
upon the noble issues for which Amer.
ican lads fought and died.
let nobody be too hard on Gov.
