THE FIGHT AGAINST DOPE

An enforcement problem not ,dissi-,
milar to that of prohibition grows out
of the laws against the peddling +and
sale Of illicit drugs. The fedcraE, act
is undoubtedly violated every day. Rub
lie attention is now being drawn to
drug addicts and "dope fiends" by the
serious illness in California Of we'll
known movie star who has confessedly
used narcotics for several years. What
does the antinarcotics law amount to?
Are drugs for doping purposes incraas-
ing in sale and consumption, in spite
of all the agencies working for the
suppression of the evil?
The chief of the narcotics forces Of
the federal government has but recent
~ declared, the impressions Of many
persons to the contrary, that ''the drug
addict is disappearing and with proper
treatment and strict enforcement or
the laws as to sale, will be practically
eradicated." Yet, even if his testimony
were not in accordance with the facts,
and it were true that in the case of IL
licit drugs prohibition has failed thus
far tc prohibit, the repeal of the led
eral law would be a most unwise act.
No one is clamoring for the laws re-
peal, or for license system, or for
2.75 per cent dope. There is no Con-
stitutional Liberty league in the Unit
ed States for the defense of the right
to consume opium and cocaine in either
limited or unlimited quantities. No man
would have the nerve to accept the
presidency of such an organization.
Yet it will be a long and hard fight
against dope, although its consump-
tion is said to be diminishing. While
there is an overwhelming public sen
timent in support Of the anti-narco-
ties law, the drug adict does not i'm
mediately disappear. Beginning with
the Ten Commandments, there was
never in practice 100 PEI cent prohi-
bition against anything. But that fur
iishes no reason for relaxing the re-
straints necessary to a well-ordered,
law-abiding, healthy minded and pro-
grcssive society.

WILLIAM s. HART
PASTIME TOMORROW

Gunplay, the like of which has never
been seen before, most unusual hold
up, vivid thunder r-storm-these are
but few of the thrills in William S.
Hart's latest and most memorable
Paramount picture "Traveiin' On" to
be shown at the Pastime tomorrow
only (return engagement)
This is picture to make even the
most hardened film fan sit in that
most unconspfortable posture-hai-
anccd on the edge Of seat-rlght
from beginning to end, wondering
with bated breath, just how the story
is going to end. 1t is q picture to
second the red blood coursing through
ones veins, and that, surely. is &
most desirable thing these days.
William S. Hart wrote the story
with that ennd in view. That, too, wa
probably why he got Lambert Hillyet-
to direct it. and Joe August, A. S.
c., to photograph it, and assembled
such popular cast, including Ethel
isrev Terry, Brinsley Shaw and Mary
Jane Irving to help interpret it. AND
Mr.. Hart has succeeded in making :,

LAST SHOWING WESLEY
BARRY IN "PENROD" TODAY

If you did not see Wesley (Freckles)
Barry in "Penrod" at the Pastimc
yesterday you certainly missed real
treat. Just ask some friends that did
see it and by all means come today
your last opportunity. Penrod is based
on Booth Tarington's inimitable
stories of American boyhood.
From his screen version of The
famous character, Marshall Neilan has
utilized the services of Freckles Barry,
who is said to be Penrod to the last
freckle. The capable supporting cast
includes about forty adults and iuvc,
niles among whom are Tully Marshall,
Marjorie Daw, and Eugene Besserer.
Everybody from six to seventy
should see this fine picture.

EXPECT MORE ARRESTS

Futher arrests are now expected IN
the Mer Rouge case, which has at
tracted the attention of the entire
country. The funeral fdr the two
men whose bodies came to the surface
Of the lake was held Sunday and or
the same day T. J. Burnett, former
deputy sheriff was. arrested and held
as suspect in connection with the
murder last August. Feeling is said
to be running high in the town, where
there are two factions believed to BE-
well stocked with arms and ammunition
Further details of the tragedy dis
close that the masked and hooded men
were self-appointed guardians of the
law and that Watt Daniels and
Thomas Richards, young mon, were
obnoxious to these guardians of the
law and that there was feeling be-
tween the two factions. The Daniels
Richards faction is said to have
threatened the mayor of the town for
enforcing the law and he left Mer
Rouge. for another place.
Two rather bad elements, we should
say. ,sS$ ~.
The. masked and hooded men, how
ever, were SO anxious to enforce the
law that they apparently were readY
to commit murder in doing it. Louisi.

MR.. BORAHS POSITION

In a statement in Washington Sun
day night Senator Borah said, accord
ing to the Associated Press.
Discussing Europe's war debt to the
United States. Senator Borah said
'some people seem to be exercised
over the cancellation of this debt,
adding:
g / am far more exercised over EU-
fear about the open cancellation OF
this debt. But no child now living
will see it's payment if the subject of
rcparations is permitted to 60 tronl
bad to worse until another war takes
place.
1--WE are interested in the repara-
tions question, therefore, because we
are interested in the payment of what
Europe owes us. We are also interest
cd in it because we want
European markets opened to our farm
products. Millions are hungcrlng and
dying in Europe for the products
which arc rottcnlng on our 1afns
Shall We say that these matters do
not concern US? Nothing concerns us
more?"
Asserting that the reparations tan
gle "directly, Immediately, vitality
concerned the United States, Senate.
Borah dcclared:
1T involves millions to our pec1lo
and it may involve another conflict.
l am not over-fond Of conferences,
but there are times when they are
helpful. This seems to be one OF
those times"
Senator Borah talks like those ad-
vocates Of the lcagu0 Of nations some !
time ago. And the Idaho senator is
an irreconciliable.

Carl Talley, sought in connection
with the murder of Policeman Thomas
McCuiston of Greensboro, in May
1921, has been captured near South
Boston, Va, and brought to the Gril-
ford county Jail. Talley is alleged to
have been in liquor car over which
the policeman was killed, another Ct
the liquor gang also killed and third
serving a term Of ten years in prison.
Talley is said to be one of the worst
criminals in the Greensboro section

A RAILROAD DEAL"
Wall Street Journal.

Wall Street Journal.
1t was stated in the news recently
that the purchase of the H. E. Hunt
ington holidays of Chesapeake & Ohio
stock by O. 2. Van Sweringen, with a
view to control in a contemplated
merger with the Nickle Plate, the
| Lake Erie & Western and Glover
Leaf, assumed to be under Van Swer-
ingen control, was private business
between two individuals" AS it must
ultimately become public business the
sooner the facts of the negotiation ar
given the fullest publicity the better.
Minority stockholders have some
rights and ajoritv stockholders have
still more. Mr.. Huntington's holdings
of Chesapeake & Ohio have been esti-
mated at third OF the stock, and
there is reason to believe that they
are not much more than Is per cent
ROW. II the Van SWeringcn interests
choose to buy that stock from Mr..
Huntington as an investment, no one
can object. But with widely dis
trbutcd stock Of a reputable and we'll
managed trunk system held largely
for investmentfi minority block Of
stock gees Il long way in the dice
tion Of control, and its influence in
any board of dierctors is most powee--
full This idea of casually handing the
control Of great railway system
from one financial interest to another,
without consulting the majority stock
holders, is vicious and sould be con
sidcred only to be condemned. There
is eno better majority holding than
that of an enlightened public, pro
tected by publicity and served in SIN
ccrity by q conscientious board of di
iectors, as for instance that OF The
Pennsylvania railroad, whore no 'ir
terest" controls.
To those pconle who have hastily
{. IDEAL" OF kind altogether
too common 20 years ago it can be
said that there are formidable ob-
;tacles in the way. The c. & 0. can>
not be merged with any other road |

ority of the stockholders, and more,
