A few years ago I met my
old friend, Col. Joe Hayward,
in the lobby of the Grand
Union Hotel at Saratoga. Joe,
a track follower, with myste-
rious sources of income, well
along in his seventies, was erect
and vigorous. Celebrating our
chance meeting we engaged in
a friendly scuffle. Joe's muscles
were hard as iron and he could
have put me down with no
trouble at all.

age?" / asked.

"Its the only way I can

He was quite serious. And,
in that day of the rococo splen-

prohibition and before even a
hint of a world depression, I
found many other ruddy, vigor-

one of the greatest natural
spas in the world to condition
them for industrious and sys-

industry in those days, as a

I revisit Saratoga. In the

State funds and the remaining
$3,000,O00 was obtained from
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. The new spa is
being built with the consulta-
ton of DR.. Granz M. Groedel,
the great German cardiac spe-
ciaist, now in New York.
During the last few years, it
has been discovered that the
most definite curative proper
ties of the waters lies in the
field of heart ailments, and it
is indicated that the new de-
velopment will constitute an
epochal advance in this kind Of
therapy.
It was in 1910 that the State
took over the reservation of the
mineral springs, exercising its
power of eminent domain.
Private owners had been ex-
tracing the mineral salts and
using them to charge manufac-
tured waters. There was danger
that this exploitation soon
would exhaust the springs. The
State took over 1853 springs. In
20 years, it not only has con-
served them, but has integrated
them in a splendid scientific
development.

a clan of mysterious yeggs
which the police haven't quite
solved.
But it is notable that in all
the past years none of these
visitors has staged anything
rough in Saratoga, and the town
has been kept astonishingly free
from crime. And the word is
that while the springs are do

If the government and peo-
pie of Arizona are alive to
their national responsibilities
they will prevent any violence
to the japanese farmers who
have moved into the Salt River
Valley of that State.
The report that $50 Arizona
farmers had recently held a
meeting to organize move
ment to drive out the japanese
by the use of physical if not
armed force has greatly stirred
the people of Japan and brought
immediate representations from
the Federal Government.
Ever since President Roose-
velt entered the White House
he has done his best to ease
the growing friction in the re-
lations between this country
and Japan, without yielding
any American principle.
This policy has apparently
begun to bear fruit. Relations
already have improved in 50
far as the japanese Foreign
Office can influence the course
of japanese policy.
WOULD BE HARMFUL
But an anti-Japanese out
break in Arizona at this time
would undo most of the good
work which the President has
been able to do. He might soon
find himself in the same en-
barrassing situation that the
first President Roosevelt faced
when the anti-Japanese activities
in the state of California was
during his administration.
American diplomatic history
unfortunately, contains alto
gether too many instances where
foreigners resident in this coun-
try have been the victims of mob
violence. Protests against these
outrages have resulted in the
payment of large indemnities to
the victims of these assaults.
In looking into the record OF
these cases, when he was Secre-
tary of State, during the Presl-
dency of Theodore Roosevelt,
Mr.. Root found that "in every
case the indemnity was in fact
paid because the United States
had not done in the particular
case what it would have done for
it's own citizens if our laws had
been administered as our clti-
zens were entitled to have them
administered.
The record shows that the
Government of the United States
has too frequently fallen short
of it's international obligation
to the same degree of protection

PREVIOUS OUTBREAKS
In 1880 Cinnamon were mobbed
in Denver. Other Cinnamon were
mobbed at Rock Springs, Wyo,
in 1885. In New Orleans in 1891
italians were lynched and again
at Rouse, Col, in 1895. In Yreka,
Calf. Mexicans were lynChed in
1895. Italians were again !ynched
at Tallulah, La, in 1899 and
again at Erwin, Miss, in 1901.
Then there was tt o't"a
geous killing at Ardmt
several years ago when. nIeo
of two young Mexicans who had
come to this country for their
education were snuffed out by
Oklahoma police officials.
Against the claims for indem-
nifty that resulted fro 4 these
cases our Government has no
defense to offer. All it could
do after long diplomatic eX-
changes was to pay indemnity.
In view of the fact that the
Federal Government would BE-
held responsible for any injury
done the japanese in Arizona
President Roosevelt acted swift
bringing home to the 81
ment Of that State the -
ness of the situation created by
the threats against the Japa-
neSe.
There are legal ways of pro-
tecting the rights of Arizona cit
liens against alien aggression
without making the aliens the
victims of mob violence. The as
surances that there will be no
violence, but that the Arizona
farmers will look to the courts
for any redress due them, will
reflect credit upon the youngest
State in the Union if they are
lived up to.
And by living up to these as
surances Arizona will greatly aid
President Roosevelt's efforts to
improve relations between Japan
and the United States.

Narcotics Are Still Sold

The United States Must Not Forget 1t
Every few weeks months a narcotic haul is
ported like that in New York recently in which some
10000 worth of illicit drugs sezed and the public
settles back in the comfortable belief that the dope
traffic is under control
It would be pleasant if that were the case.
Our crime rate would take immediate drop and
thousands of and and children who are
now addcts might be leading happier and more useful
lives
But this optimistic view would not be confirmed by
the facts
traffic which yields such high profits despite
sonal heavy losses and which finds such large
ber of customers is not controlled by the occasional
seizure of drugs and the arrest of few trafickers
No doubt much valuable work toward limiting is per-
formed by Federal and some State agencies
But throughout the country and particularly in large
cities it would be foolish to that is not
present threat to health and morals.
And this condition will continue long many States
are notorously lax in their to combat it.
State narcotic laws differ widely
What is serious offense in State may be a
msdemeanor, even a legal act, in another.
Thus any real control of the drug traffic nation
wide scale is almost impossible.
The only solution of this problem lies in uniform mar
cotic laws adopted by all States in the Union
model law has been drawn up under Federal auspices
for this purpose but has been passed thus far by
paratively few State legislatures
When the remaining States pass it body blow will
have been dealt to this widespread evil.
Until they do narcotics will foster crime disease and
misery greater scale than they have in the
past.
