Western railroads have recent ly announced heavy cuts in freight rates to meet water com petition through the Panama Canal. This will be a great ad- vantage to western shippers and the railroads hope that the in creased tonnage will offset losses which will otherwise be the in evitable result.
 Everyone admits we are over taxed and overtaxation, so far from fostering, cannot fail to de press national production and prosperity.
 The tendency to pile up pub lie debt by issuing tax free bonds to finance every sort of public enterprise, simply because an easy market is found for this class of securities, is fundament- ally wrong"

as he told of some of his experiences In
helping to wipe out the evil. There's
nothing of the theatrical in his make
up. He did not search for high sound-
Ing epigrams or picturesque phrase
ology In explaining the work. There
was no striking the desk with his fist.
No senbance of the ultra -reformer.
There was just slight squaring Of the
jaws and his teeth seemed to go a little
closer together when he drove home a
point.
II got the first big break in the ring
some weeks ago. snid the Judge,
when n well-known addict told me
where he got his dope. For months that
was the question which made them
hedge. They seemed to be affected with
sudden loss Of memory when 1t was
bluntly put to them.
A telephone call interrupted and he
received news which seemed to cheer
him.
''Do you recall two or three specific
cases which first attracted your atten-
ton to the evil?' was asked.

Offers of Aid Expose
Many Bitter Tragedies

Letters-hundreds and hundreds
of them-pour into the Judge in con-
nection with the fight. Some are
from clergymen, others from parents
wishing the jurist godspeed in
his work; many are from addicts
themselves.
One woman, to assure Judge
Monaghan that she was "ofP the
stuff" for good, sent him her last
"deck" Of heroin yesterday.
It will be destroyed. This presages
the beginning of the end. The ad-
diets are great imitators. Where

ones. So-called drug cures leave the
victim far worse; 1t would be better

The writer then went on In somewhat
rampant fashion giving various sug-
gestions to end the traffic.
Judge Monaghan did not give the
letter serious attention.
1T serves to show the state OF
mind he said. perhaps the writer Is
an addict. Many confirmed drug users
have n certain inconsistency in their
attitude which appears to be mex
plicable. Some time ago I received
letter from a boy in Reading. He
told me he was coming here to buy
dope as he could get it cheaper here.
After he bought il he said ne would
tell me the names Of every one who
sold it TO him. He appears to realize
that he can't help himself In the

Fortunately. many women are giving
valuable aid in crushing out the dealers.
One woman. mother of a boy in West
Philadelphia, came here recently TO
help. She said her son would not tell
where he obtained hcroin. and for
several nights she followed him from
place to place and learned just where
and when he bought il. That's one Of

The Judge paused a moment AZ he
added further touches TO the mysterious
diagram IN front of him.
Another striking case In The earlv
stages of our present drive was that of
the son OF a prominent fnancier. This
boy, college graduate, who enioyed
