No Government Monopoly of Narcotics.

Stating that the clincs for the treat
ment of drugs addicts in New York
New Orleans Los Angeles and San
Diego have been failure, Dr. l.. L..
Stanley, resident physician OF the
California state prison at San Quen-
tin, recommends in report prepared
for the American institute of Grim
inal law and crminology, govern.
ment monopoly of the manufacture Of
narcotics as solution of the evil of
drug addiction. As long as morphine,
heroin and cocaine are distributed
through $4,000 retail druggists all over
the country and about double this
number of physicians can write pre-
scriptions almost at will, government
monopoly of manufacture cannot be
effective in stamping out the drug
evil. The fault lies not with the man
ufacture or manufacturer at the pres
ent time. but with the method Of dis
tribution in SO much as responsibility
for prescribing and dispensing is in
the hands of hundred thousand peo-
pie or more, with the usual quota Of
dishonest ones.
Instead Of q government monopoly

MONTPELIER
Prof. x. r. B. Flint Addressed the Yer
mont Colonial Danes.

The afternoon session of the Vermont
| Colonial Danes in Montpelier Tues
| day was attended by about 40 mem
| bers and the address by Prof. X. K. B.
| Flint was received with a great deal
| of pleasure Mrs George H. V. Allen,
III introducing Prof. Flint, said that it
had been said of the society that it was
not considering present day problems
and that the address which Prof Flint
would give would indicate il was not
| only considering those, but problems
of the future. Prof. Flint discussed
Civic Preparedness in Vermont Com
munities." He referred to the com
munity spirit that has developed out
of the Word war and hoped that it
would not be allowed to lag and that
the work of expanding ~ few hundred
dollars where thousands were expended
would soon get better results He
said changes in the laws should be
place and then plan of covering
long period of years developed, some
thing that would link up the village
with the farms. He referred to the
team work shown in football and said
a town can accomplish no more than
football team made up of players de-
string their own prominence. He spoke
at SOME length upon the business af-
fairs of the town and of the error of
allowing a garage or blacksmith shop
to be constructed next to a church or
in the center of residential section.
The moral welfare should be looked
nft ha s,b, a,,l no ta,.I
and priest brought closer in contact
with each other, learning the lesson
from similar work in the war. There
should be an intellectual program.
Ward politicians and political grafters
should be removed. He did not like
the commission form of government,
for ii has not accomplished what was
expected but rather would have the
city manager, which is doing a great
deal for cities and towns in this sec
ton He spoke at some length in Civ
ing the comparison Of these He found
there are ISIS towns in Vermont that
should have state aid in different de
partments other than now given, He
liked local governing board and dis
cu>scd these at some length He also
spoke upon REPRESENTATION, giving in
tcresting data on the results being OBJ
tanned in Europe.
Preceding the address Major L. s.
1illotson sang three selections These
were Schuman's Two Grenadiers,
Carey's "Catto's Advice" and John /.
sons Face to Face" singing each very
we'll and showing the wide range Of
voice control he had. He received /
much favorable comment and applause
upon his singing. After the address
the Montpelier Danes gave a recep |
tion, during which refreshments were
served under the arrangement of Mrs. .
A. W Ferrin, Mrs. C. f. Chandler and
