The Druo Habit Evil

e.,h, Editor Of the Erenin0 Public Ledoer:
Sir--Trafflc in habit forming drugs
| srnears 10 be increasing both in coun-
trirs % under prohibition and those
where liquor is to be easily obtained.
Ths craving for narcotic drugs has lit
Yls connection. or connection not
sssily traced. with the taste for alco-
kolic beverages. Drug users are rarely
drinkers. Once they acquire the drug
b,bit thev find little solace or stimulus
n ordinary liluor. HerOin to whisky
u as cognac to lager.
The increase in the habit may be
due In part to the war. to the fact that
desperately wounded and suffering men
have been given drugs to ease their
main, and, their pain not completely
disappearing, they have acquired the
habit Of thus seeking ease from ply
sical distress. In others 1t may be that
the struggle of life under modern con
dtions has made them willing enough
% take a drug that. will bring them
forgetfulness for while and perhaps
noble dreams Of grandeur.
In England have read in the news
dispatches, corroborated by articles in
medical journals, the traffic has in
creased TO such an extent that 1t has
been proposed that venders of these
drugs should be punished by tlogging.
Imprisonment fails to cure them Of their
evil business and fines are even less
effective. Flogging is objected to on
the ground that public opinion would
not tolerate the fogging Of women, who
thus would be given monopoly OF the
business. and it is known that women
ore already active in it.
Moreover. flogging would not cure
drug addict. International action
will be needed If the curse is to be
abolished. As long as one nation per-
mits the manufacture Of these drugs
for other than medical purposes, as
long as less drastic restrictions are
thrown about the business than those
that control the printing of paper cur
reney, just so long will there be a
surplus which will finds its way into
the hands Of the dealers. and eventually
will be secured by the addicts. They
occupy small space and sell for high
prices. The League Of Nations has a
commission for the purpose of con-
rolling the sale Of opium, but nations
that are not members of the League
the United States. Russia and Ger
many-are not represented upon it, and
Germany is the home Of heroin. TO
cope with this evil is a tremendous
luI. and it can be done only when all
ntions act unanimously.

THE COWBOYS PRAYER
BY Charles B. Clark. Jr.
. Lord, I've rever lived where churches
grow;
I love creation better as II stood.
Thlt day you finished It so long ago
And ..na Looked upon your work and called it
I know that others find you in the light
Thats sifted Gown through tinted window
And yet feel you near tonight
In this dim starlight on the plains.
thank YOU. Lord. that am placed SO
That you have made my freedom so COM
plete,
That I'm no slave Of whistle. clock and
DelI,
Or weak-eyed prisoner OF well and street.
Just let me live my III, as I've begun.
And give me work that's open to the sky;
Make me a partner OF the wind and sun.
And won't ask a life that's soft or high
Let me be ensy on the man that's down.
And make me generous and square with
all.
/ m careless sometimes lord, when I'm In
town.
But never let them say I'm mean or
small.
Make me as Wig and open as the plains
As honest as tho horse between my
knees:
Clean az the wind that blows behind the
rains.
Free as the hawk that circles down the
breeze.
Forgive me. Lord. when sometimes forget;
You understand the reasons that are hid:
You know about the things that gall and
fret.
You know me better than my mother did.
Just keep an eye on all that's done and
said;
Just right me sometimes when turn
aside.
And guide me on the long. dim tran ahead
That stretches upward toward the Great
Divide.
