very rare sort Of man in these days--
who was brave enough to face the jeers

Old Time Papers Contributed by ]. d

Deputy Sheriff j. b. Labree of Cam
bridge, recently called at the Reporter
Office and left several interesting old
paners. one of them which probably
contained more of local interest was
the Maine Farmer of September Ii
1873. tinGer the items of Main6towns

j. f. Nye, the Sheriff charged with
malfcasance of office, is an honest
man, as ii has investigated the
charges 1t is also said that, THE
buildings of ]. Jordan were burned
Wednesday. Loss covered by insur-
ance of S1400" Another item, George

Colby. at the last commencement has
been chosen principal of the high

Another paper which Mr. Labfee
left with us was Brother Jonathan"

This was general newspaper con-
tanning considerable startling news

NARCOTICS ARE
LEADING WORLD
AS CRIMINALS
MOrphinism Attributed at Real
Cause of Majority OF the
Crimes Committed
(By Associated PreHA)

CHICAGO, Ill.,, June ga cure of
morphinism would decrease crimi-
nality, according to L. Edward San
dOZ medical director of the NUM-
cipal court of Boston "Morphinism,
in a majority of our morphine cases,
is the main determining cause OF
criminality," DR.. Sandoz declared in
a report published in the Journal Of
the American Institute Of Criminal
Law and Criminality He gave the
proportion of arrests of morphinists
for violation of the drug law to
arrests for morphinists for other
causes as one to three.
Applying this proportion to the
245 Boston municipal court cases OF
1920 for violation of the drug law
we should have besides about S37 ar
rests of morphinists for other Of
fenses. a total of 1882 arrests" he
added
"Weaning is possible in practically
every case. We have no medical in
stitntions in which addicts without
means are kept long enough to have
A chance to be cured, Under these
conditions a sentence of months, the
longer the better, is the best thing
than can happen to them Ihere
is need OF special institutions,
almost all our cases are below

phine is more essential for addicts
than anything else, there is nc
practicable alternative for those who

ways of getting money

our morphinists is their esprit ut
