Enforcing the Law.

Two policemen, charged with enforc-
ing the law against transportation of
liquor. pursue a suspected rum-runner.
The fugitives increase their speed and
In their attempt to escape manipulate
an illegal continuance in their car which
enits dense cloud Of smoke, obscur-
ing the vision and endangering the
lives Of those in pursuit One of the
policemen begins firing in the general
direction of the fleeing cars rear tires.
A bullet strikes the driver Of the car
and kills him. Once more the Police
Department is placed in the position of
defending itself against a barrage of
criticism. directed at members of the
force who use their guns.
The whole question resolves itself
into the issues of whether the police
are to carry guns or whether they are
to go unarmed; whether they are to en-
force the law. or whether they are
merely to request observance of the law.
If the police are forbidden to use their
guns, except in cases of self-defense
where they are actually cornered and
must shoot it out or die, that fact
should be made plain, not only to the
police but to the community. It will
save the police from ever getting into
corner and it will permit the under
world to make even more practical use
Of fast automobiles, smoke screens and
machine guns than is now the case.
A great deal of sympathy is now be-
ing poured out in behalf of the I'M
fortunate individual who lost his life
yesterday. No mention is made of the
fact that this individual at the wheel Of
the car could have saved his life by
stopping his car and surrendering. A
great point is made of the fact that the
slain man was not committing a crime
for which the law demands the life
penalty. In this connection it is inter-
esting to note that night watchmen,
special bank policemen and soldiers on
guard duty at military camps in time of
peace ere armed with guns; that the
44AShV R4OW1~4B tA1C 44Ao44 h4AO 4Obo q
bank or the burglar or the man who re-
fuses to obey Sentry's warning may
not be committing crimes involving cap
ital punishment, but that their shooting
is held justified by the circumstances. If
this were not the case enforcement of
any law would depend altogether upon
individual acceptance of the law. Guns
might as well be dispensed with alto
gether, except as means of protection
against overzealousness on the part of
the laws agents.
The quicker the realization that the
police are determined to enforce the
law, the less the chance for a repeti-
ton of yesterdays tragedy. The more
the dust is raised by prejudging the
action Of every policeman who uses
his gun, the more tragedy there will be.
The case of the policeman who shot
q man yesterday is yet to be disposed
of by the constituted authorities. If
he was unjustifed in shooting, he
should no longer be permitted to act
as an agent of the law. Meanwhile there
should be no hasty verdict of guilty.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Some DAYS and Others.

Some Days and Others.
Some days you sort O. wonder why
The wind breathes perpetual sigh,
And gathering clouds shut out the sun
Till daylight seems forever done.
You wonder why the birds don't sing
The same sweet songs they used to
bring,
While dreary dullness leaves It's trace
On every scene of poisoning grace.
And other days will romp and laugh
While sunshine scatters gold like chaff,
And in the world there seems no room
For any thought Of doubt or gloom.
And joys for which we fondly wish
I guess they're pretty much like fish,
Sometimes they seem to shun the spot
And other times you catch a lot.

DRUG LIMIT SET
/ TO GUT USE BY
DOCTORS
BY KENNETH CLARK

A vigorous drive against ply
eicians and druggists who. under
the guise of their profession, traffic
in dope, is being pushed by the
Federal narcotics division.
The aim is not only to stop
unethical practices but to cut down
the so-called Legitimate" consump-
ton of drugs throughout the coun.
try.
Under a scheme devised by John
Q. Walton. chief of the returns
division of the Narcotic Bureau.
the country has been placed on a
drug quota basis.
Sets Drug Quota
For instance. on the basis of 145,'
900 physicians registered to pre-.
scribe drugs, Walton figures that
the legitimate allotment Of NOR
phine for each doctor should be not
more than one half an ounce
year. This would make a total of
$4,000 ounces for legitimate pur-
poses. Due allowance Is made
where a physician might ethicaliy
and legitimately require more.
The total set by Walton's plan
is approximately two-thirds less
than the amount of morphine legally
manufactured last year, which was
10S.675 ounces.
Comprehensive charts Of the sales
of each physician and the prescrip-
tions of drugs by doctors are kept
by the bureau. Whenever it is
found that a doctor has prescribed
more than the allotted one-halt
ounce, narcotic agent is instructed
to investigate. In this way, trattick-
ing physicians are caught and
punished.
Druggists Watched
A similar method has been adopted
to watch druggists. The bureau
has determined that one-half gr1in
is the legitimate per capita con-
sumption of morphine and opium.
Figured on the basis of a popula'
ton of 100000 900, this would mean
that only 72,5OO ounces are needed
for the entire United States. Approx
u1ateIy 2S3,O0O ounces were sold
last year.
Whenever it is discovered that
a druggist is selling more than
the per capita allotment for his
community. an inquiry will be made
to determine if dope is being peddled
to addicts.

Efforts also will be made to bring

Howard University
Gets Campus BOOkshOp

20. A book store to be located on the
campus for the 1000 students at
Howard University has been granted
by the board of trustees. The store
is to be opened at the beginning of
the fall quarter, September 80, 1923.
The book shop will be operated
similar to the cooperative stores
now being run by many of the lead
ing colleges of the nation.
a survey by Jesse Lewis, in
structor in economics, during the
closing term of 1928 showed that
491 students spent S26,857 for books
and laundry, an average of $54.8O
per student. 1t is estimated that
1000 students will pay into the
book store 1900 per quarter for
books.

of Miss Frances Gillingham was pre-.

actress; Carl Melges as director;
