DRUG ADDICTION
GENERAL IN
NATION
By KENNETH CLARK

Drug addiction is endemic, or
general throughout the country
rather than sporadic. or local.
There is no State. and scarcely
a community, in the nation which
is not threatened by The ever-pres-
ent menace of dope.
In many States there is wide
discrepancy between the number
of viola lions of the anti-narcotic
laws end the number Of convic-
tons.
Disclosed i'm Survey
These salient facts were discov-
cred in a survey just completed
by Federal officials.
The center of the narcotic GRIM
inal population of America was
found in central Illinois, a few
miles west of the center of the
total population. The center of
the criminal narcotic population
for the area east Of the Mississippi
is in central West Virginia, while
the center Of the area west of the
Mississippi is in northeastern Col
orado.
While the largest number of
drug addicts are concentrated in
the East, States west of the Missis-
sippi River have the highest per-
centage for each 100000.
The rate of commitments in
prisons for narcotic offenses for
the whole United States was II
Per 100000 population. There were
great variables for different Darts
Of the country.
The rates ranged from 59.43 per
100000 in Nevada and 38.9 in Cali.
fornia to 90 in Mississippi, New
Hampshire and Vermont. The rate
indicates a wide but variable dis.
tribution of narcotic offenders and
probably also differences in local
procedure respecting the disposition
of these offenders other than by
prison commitments.
How 1t Varies
The rate of conviction of persons
not registered Chiefly addicts) varies
as follows:

HORN AS
WARNING

4 HAGERSTOWN, Md. Dec. O.
Riding a black horse, a modern
Paul Revere, drove his steed at
top speed through the Frog Hol-
low moonshine section of Wash
ington county yesterday to warn
residents that prohibition agents
were approaching.
Despite the riders signals the
officers, Robert Beall, Nat w.
BoweS and Leon Poore arrested
Edwin Mccoy on charges of the
manufacture and sale of liquor
and brought him to Hagerstown
to Jail.
Mccoy was arraigned before
United States Commissioner D.
Angle Wolfinger later and held
under $1,000 bond for the action
of the Federal Grand Jury in
Baltimore.
Raid Four Camps
The agents said Mccoy admit
Sed he had been making liquor in
Frog Hollow for two years and
had a still there.
The agents destroyed four
@oonshine camps in which they
found and aggregate of 10000
gallons of whisky mash.
The man who rode through
the Hollow the agents said, was
mounted on a fast horse and
rode rapidly away when he saw
them. He wore a stocking cap.
AS he rode he blew blasts upon
a horn which, the agents said,
sounded like a fog horn and
echoed and re-echoed through the
hills.
Spies Numerous
Prohibition agents have been
baked more than once by spies
\ that section, they said. The
yes occupy position which
~ jnmands a view of the road
pproaches to the hollow and
Ire believed to be equipped with
Bfield glasses By which they are
enabled to distinguish the occu-
pants of automobiles.
Their duty is to spread an
alarm. Agents who have en-
tered the hollow on fruit1ess
raids said they have seen the
riders in flight on fast horses
and have heard rifle shots fired
and horns blown as signals to
warn the moonshine camps.
The agents are of the opinion
that the operators have a sys-
tenn of signals covering the entire
section. They have frequently
found moonshine camps that gave
evidence of having been aban-
doned suddenly and no trace of
the moonshiners.

INSANITY URGED
BY. SCIENTIST
SLAYER

CARLISLE, Pa. Dec. 9.-On the
third day of the murder trial of
Norman Morrison, charged WITH
the killing of Mrs. Frances Dover
master Mcbride. the defendant
again surprised court and jury by
displaying an excellent knowledge
of music.
Witnesses testified that Nor
rison had unusual ability as a pi-
anist. Morrison, witnesses said,
had an astounding familiarity
with the works of modern and an
cient philosophers and an ex-
tended knowledge of mathematics,
astronomy, astrology, electricity
and advanced science.
This is remarkable. for he left
school when ii after completing
the seventh grade, and since then
has been a common laborer in the
Carlisle steel mills. He now is 80
and blind. The defense is insan-
ity.
Witnesses testified Morrison
pursued his musical studies in al
effort to perfect a method of play
ing the piano by mental telepathy,
and that his scientific studies were
carried on for the purpocc of en-
abling him to shoot rockets to the
other planets with the idea of ul-
timately Harvesting the universe.
Morrison shot and killed Mrs.
Mcbride in 1926 because she re-
fused his attentions after she had
promised to marry him. He then
attempted to take his own life
The bullet severed nerves in his
head, which caused his blindness.
Much of the trial is consumed
with the testimony of alieniSts.

Instruction?

Nobody seriously believes that an effort was made
last summer to overthrow the government of the state
of North Carolina.
Yet this Is the formal charge brought by the states
legal representatives against North Carolina citizens.
They charged with "insurrecton" and "Sedition"
Back of the charge is the trouble between the
textile mill owners of Marion and their workers. The
dispute fundamentally is one about wages and work
ing hours 1t involves the right of worker to unite
with other workers to oppose the united dollars of the
boss.
That goes into the matter of the strike and the
strike involves the question of the right to picket
which is to assemble to persuade or prevent other
workers from taking their jobs
Maintenance of picket line is apt to lead to dis
orders. At Marion it did. But, instead of dealing
with disorders such the pcketeers are hailed into
court charged with instruction"
Why? If the state government and the mill owner
the same, then resistance to the mill owner might
be regarded resistance to the state government
But the American public has assumed that the mill
owner and the worker stand the in the presence
of the state government. The government has been
supposed to be organized under state constitution for
protection of all citizens. 1t has been supposed to
guarantee protection of property and the enjoyment
of certain personal rights known the liberties of
the citizens.
Instruction against the mill boss is not insur
rection against the state.

primarily because of great consultations OF wealth
unsupported by popular loyalty; and that in the new
era production will be for human service rather than
private profit.
Modern psychology has exploded the MARKHAM view
of man as calculating machine and has shown that
he is creature of habit and emotion
That economic factors basic in civilization is
accepted by great numbers outside Socialist ranks.
The labor theory of value has been discarded by
most up-to-date Socialists Great consultations Of
wealth are more revered by the than they were
In 1885, Production for service has received at least
lip service from great industralists like John D. Rock
efeller Jr.
In short, what remains Of MARKHAM Socialism after
more than half century of experience and criticism
has become the working philosophy of liberal minded
people.
Those things which matter in contemporary pro-
gressivism are: ID Greater production for human
service and wel-being rather than individual profit,
and 90 Proved fitness and special training for polt-
ical Office.
The problem of progressive leaders is sufficiently to
dramatic these aspirations that they can be sold
