DRUG TRAFFIC MENACE
TO NATIONS WELFARE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Q. y. S III
-Under-g ground traffic in drugs, de-
veloping startlingly in recent years,
has become a serious menace TO the
welfare of the nation, in the opinion
OF federal officials.
The illegitimate traffic of narcotics
Is conducted by the so-called dope
peddlers,' who appear to have a per-
fectly organized, countrywide ring. p /
These -venders, for the most .
part, obtain their dope" supplies 4
from Mexico and Canada, although .
smaller quantities are obtained by
thefts and illegal transactions with /.
inscriptions dealers. Considerable
drug smuggling is practiced on both |
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, where
the drugs arrive on ships hailing from
the Orient and Europe.
The smuggling problem has devel
oped a perplexing situation. 1t han
been ascertained that large portion
of the drugs that enter this country
| through Illicit channels was shipped
from the United States, after manu-
| facture, by reputable firms.
The belief has been expressed that
he headquarters of the extensive
"dope-ring" is located outside the
United States and that they obtain
the drugs shipped from this country
with the express intention of SNUG
Cling the dope" back for illegal sale.
Use the underground
1t is largely through these under
} ground channels that the drug addict
now obtains his supply of hop
A recent Government survey dis
closed the startling fact that the usl
of opium and It's alkaloids, for other
than legitimate medical purposes, ha;
increased amazingly in recent years
4 About 80 per cent of the amount OF
} narcotics entered for consumption il
I this country is used for other thar
\ medical purposes, it has been estl'
D mated. Although this estimate i;
vague, federal officials have complet
} ed a statement showing the per capita
consumption in this country and tha
of European countries, which disclose
that this country consumes from Is Il
- times as much opium per capita az
is consumed in other countries, thu
, records of which were available.
4 The underground traffic in drug
has made such rapid strides forward
lately that it is estimated it is equa
to the legitimate narcotic traffic II
b an effort to curtail this illegitimat'
practice, w, S. Blanchard, actini
head of the Narcotic Division of th'
= Prohibition Bureau, has inaugurateC
an intensive drive against Illicit deal
ers in drugs.

TO REPORT SEPTEMBER ]

Not the least interesting feature in connec-
ton with the public meeting to be held in the
high school auditorium September Z will be the
report of the committee appointed by President
Dubois. of the Raritan Terminal and Water
ways Association, to examine the port develop
ment plans as prepared by the Port OF New
York Authority and ascertain as nearly as pos
sible exactly what is proposed to be done Tor
the Raritan bay section. This committee con-
sists of Morgan Larson, city engineer OF Perth
Amboy. Asher Atkinson, city engineer OF Ne"
Brunswick, and Charles Dorsey, general agent
of the Lehigh Valley railroad, who Is an au-
thority on criminal matters.
These men will make a thorough study Oh
the subject so as to be in a position TO give u
detailed report at the meeting here september
= That the future of the waterfront of all TINS
rection depends on the program as hnaily auop-
ted by the Port of New York Authority Is rear
lied. But just what 1t is proposed to DO 1or 'hiS
eection is not so generally known. One OF the
nurnoses of the meeting September 7 Is 10 ma
out II ought to be a gathering largely attend
cd Everyone who has any interest in the future
deyelopment of this city ought to make II d
noint to be present. Lack of interest on this
accession will indicate to the port authorities
that the people here do not care what becomes
CT their waterfront.

THE SHIPS

The British government is selling merchant
ships to anybody who will buy them. 1t Is even
selling them to the Germans, who will use them
70 compete with British foreign trade. The
French government likewise is selling it's sur
nIns merchantmen, and is being severely criti-
cised because they were not sold before. A
member of the Chamber of Deputies remarkeu
the other day that a billion francs could have
been saved by selling them two years ago.
Possibly a billion dollars could have been
saved by selling American ships at peak prices
That was not done then, by any beligerent
country, for various reasons, which 1t Is haroiy
prbftable to discuss now. The point is that all
II the major belligerents find themselves stuck
with a great quantity of shipping which was
A,,lut Il, xin the war, and built wastefully. and is
now far in excess Of the tonnage required for
the worlds shrunken trade, and that the Pnly
thing to do is to get rid of this surplus as soon
possible.
The record of the United States seems at the
same time better and worse than that OF any
other country. We built ships faster, in an
emergency: and as it appears now. we built
them worse-of poorer quality and by more
wasteful methods. Just how bad the record Is IL
is hard to determine, because of the complicated
record and the partnership involved. Proved
puilt should be punished, and proved incompe-
tance criticised unsparingly. The main thing Is
to make the best of a bad situation, and get the
government out of a business which is poorly
adanted to federal operation, and to sell the
ships for the most they will bring as raploly dc

Suppose that the Wars of the
Roses were just as bloody and cruel
as any other wars, but they never
seem so to me. They emerge from
the weller of old time conflict with
a suggestion of merry heroism and
picturesque competition.
Two sets of blood relations fight
ing each other have usually shown
all the bad blood of their mutual in
heritance. but two armies of cousins
going into battle wearing roses, this
has never seemed to me so terrible
as 1 know all war must be-
My ancestors wore the Red Rose.
They were of the house of Lancas-
ter. And when they had properly
whipped the house Of York, they
laid upon their subjugated enemies
this requirement, that they should
bring once a year to the ruling mon
arch of the house of Lancaster, "a
white rose in the time of roses
That was the prettiest mark of
submission l know anything about.
The white rose was the rose or
York; they had it, and could easily
bring it. The time of year was the
time of roses; the requirement in
volved no humiliation, no hardship,
just a sign of loyalty.
I could wish that all wars had
ended with as little talk of retalia-
ton. Those old ancestors of mine
were level-headed as well as gen.
erous. There have been no wars
since between the houses of YORK
and Lancaster.

RITTER SAVE THE MONEY

In these days when economy is the watchword
in all pubic affairs, the destruction of the giant
airship known as the ZR-2 ought to have its
lesson. 1t is said to have cost over $4,000 600
and the hangar built at Lakehurst to house it
in has cost another 81, 900, 900. There is no
telling how much has been spent indirectly in
connection with the big balloon.
Yet the actual usefulness of such a craft has
vet to be demonstrated. Germany found the
Zeppelins too vulnerable for actual warfare.
They were never a complete success. These
lighter-than-air carriers are such cumbersome
things and require so much equipment to take
care of them, with their advantages so insight
fcant in comparison, it would seem the better
part of wisdom to abandon this type of craft
all together and confne our efforts to the air
plane entirely.
or course, the most appalling thing In con-
nection with the w%recking of the ZR-2 was the
loss of so many lives-men in the height of
their usefulness. The utmost sympathy goes
out to the families who feel the loss most
keenly.
But in considering the lessons to be learned
from the catastrophe it would seem as if con-
gress would do well to discontinue any further
expenditure of the peoples money for any such
risks. The one ordered but not begun had bet
ter be dropped and the one building in this
country had better be stopped where it is. 1t
would be better to lose the money already spent
on it than to go ahead spending a great deal
more only to have it all go up in smoke, as the
ZR-2 did.
1t seems doubtful If such enormous gas bags
will ever be successful. At least until they are
more successful than they are at present and as
long as the greatest need at the present time
is economy, congress should cut out any further
appropriation along this line and save the
money.

Some southwesterner made the above cpl

Tenderfeet, on the other hand, are at a pre-
MUM. Every dollar in the tenderfoot's pocket
looks twice as large to the native as 1t did a
wear ago. And the tenderfoot always has dol
lars in his pockets, and there are many ways
of helping him spend them. He must be 1ed
and housed, of course, but in addition to that
he must be supplied with a large assortment
of souvenirs and curiosities, and above all, ne
must be shown the great Southwest.
Taking care of the tenderfoot IS really De.

with them. We had not been in our
hotel an hour before we had flowers
sent in by friends.
l love the red rose. Thus am I
true TO my c%olors, and to my long,
cherished family tradition. The red
rose is our rose. But we have an
eye to the beauty Of other kinds as
well. Now and then we like "a.
white rose in the time of roses"
That way OF ending the war was
not only pretty but permanent.
Germany eXacted a terrible in
demnity from France in 1871.
France paid it. Never for a day did
she forget what Germany had done
to her, or fail in her determination
to even the score. And 1 cannot
help wondering if other nations
have not made the same mistake
before and since.
l am no sentimentalist in such
matters. The terrible losses caused
by war must be made good, and the
nation that loses must pay it's share,
and to the full limit of its ability.
But is there not a possibility that
the more heavy the indemnity ex-
acted the more terrible will be the
revenge a generation or a century
later?
Those old red-rose ancestors of
mine knew better. They whipped
the white-rose folk and they intend-
ed there should be no misunder-
standing the fact. So they demand
