DRUG FIENDS.

Wilmington police have been waging
war on the Illicit dealers I'm narcotics,
who have been plying their trade In
this vicinity during tho past few months.
Some OF the vendors have been arrested
and sentenced to tho worl5housc. and
others have left for cities whore the
authorities are less watChCul and more
lenient.
From the standpoint of tho preven-
tion of crime. this is the most important
work which the police department has
taken up for some time. II is a fact
that with the coming of nation wide
prohibition. many former hardened
drinkers took to drugs to still the cray
ing of their nerves The drug habit
has now spread to such an extent
tually become a menace TO tho country.
william Pinkerton. the veteran de-
tective, declared in an interview pub
lished in one of the New York papers
Sunday: that many Of tho new criminals
were mon who had become drug sddicts
since whiskey was taken from them.
Pinkerton declared that this type Of
criminal was the worst known. as he
will commit any crime on the calendar
in order to assuage hts craving for the
drugs
Many of the drug vendors are not
addicts themselves, but are human
vultures who prey on those Of lesser
wills These men are the ones who are
primarily guilty Of the spread Of dope
taking They make It easy for the
haif-crazed creatures TO consummate
their desires. providing that the latter
possess the necessary money. and
criminal acts too frequently supply &C.
The police should continue their work
If crime prevention by rounding up all
ot these sales gentry who come into Della
ware. expecting TO reap a harvest. The
Courts should give each man convicted
Of Illicit asle Of drugs the laws full
penalty. The safety Of the community
demands this action.

BRING OUT THE FACTS.

The statement has just been mada IN
New York newspaper that goods can
be shipped by vessel from New York to
Buenos Aires at less cost than to move
the same goods across New York CITY
from the North 10 the East river.
Whether this is an accurate statement
Of fact which can be corrohorated 10y
figures of commercial record or is an
exaggeration based upon insufficient
testimony may remain question until
some one interested in the problem
offers evidence to the contrary or backs
IT up with facts Of specific eases
1t is known that goods are shipped
from far European ports t. New York
at a carrying cost substantially less
than the charge for domestic rail SER
vice between points anything but re-
mote from each other IN fact. ii Is
for this<reason that American farmers
demand a higher tariff on products OF
farms, since vegetable growers of Den
mark shin potatoes to the United States

upon the potatoes of Michigan. This.
if all true. IS more than a mere demon

THE LIQUOR LAWS.

Ono of tho greatest mysteries about
the Volstead act is why there should
be any mystery about IT, 1t should be
possible 10 enact law about which
there is no douht--a law that SAYS
plainly what IL means and IL not sIs-
oeptible TO change evel. time some one
clothed with legal authority takes a
fresh look at it. The ruling made by
A. Mitchell Palmer shortly before he
left the office of Attorney General has
upset the system Of tho prohibition en-
fOrcement officials and a revision Of
methods will be necessary. Attorney
General Daughcrty shows no disposi-
ton to review the Palmer ruling. and
II is presumed that II will stand The
courts eventually will decide the, ques-
ton.
The purpose of the prohibition amend
ment was to stop the manufacture aud
sale of intoxicating liquors for bever-
age purposes. The constitutional
amendment had 10 be supplemented by
legislation providing FOR its enforce
ment. Mr.. Palmer has ruled that the
enforcement statutes do not prevent
the unlimited manufacture and sale of
wines. beer and whisky for medicinal
purposes.-lndianapo News.

"I.OoK TO THE MORROW

President Harding visited the Walter
Reed Hospital, IN which many disabled
World War veterans are housed. Sunday,
and pledged that he would do al within
his power TO alleviate their conditions
and make their lots easier ones
In parting. the President told them
the story OF the Civn War veteran. who.
despite the loss Of both arms and leg.
always kept talking cheerfully Of the
future and Of the opportunities which
Il might bring.
Il offer to YOU men" the President
said, that same compensation. Look
forward always to the morrow. am
sorry the burden has come SO hard TO
you. but YOU may he sure the Govern
ment never Will be unmindful Of you
and your condition"
knowing Mr.. Harding's past record
regarding the welfare Of our disabled
American soldiers. II is not surprising
that he offers them only the intangible
thing called Hope--espeoislly when his
party has never offered those men any
thing save hope, and very little Of that.
Mr.. Harding was member of the
United States Senate for two years after
the arrnistice was signed. and II he ever
did anything for the better care of our
disabled lads. It is not remembered. II
is known that the Senate. which was
Republican then. as now. fatty refused
TO untangle the awful mess in which the
Vocational Board. the War Risk In
surance. and the Compensation Boards
had got into. II is known that the same
Senate. Of which Mr.. Harding was
shining light. refused to listen to the
pleas Of the American Legion. which
urged that better care be given the men
Harding did nothing for our wounded
men then. nor did his party.
II OA ONtl q Nssti ttAt new ] pFh EVEN
ing Post has been exposing the rotten
manner in which these disabled ones
are being cared for; that paper has call
ed to the attention of the world the fact
that America has treated her wounded
heroes in a more shabby manner than
any of the victorious countries.
Now Mr.. Harding. the President Of
the United States, and the head of the
dominant political party, offers to do
nothing more than TO remind some
wounded men that they must look to
the morrow" 1t is very kind Of him to
offer them that consolation. It is
certain that his party viii give them
nothing more. It is look to the
morrow" and not TO the Republican
party ......... The truth is that il
costs too much money for this grand
and glorious nation 10 properly care
for the men who were disabled while
fighting for it.
