Illicit Traffic in Narcotics It took federal agents five years to obtain sufficient evidence to convict dealers in nar

cotics of Terre Haute before a federal court, but their patience was amply rewarded when tKe head of the gang and his subordinates were finally put behind the bars. An Indianapolis newspaper correspondent recently said that Richmond was the center of an extensive traffic in narcotics coming into Indiana from the east and south. Police officials have scouted the statement, and their investigation since that time has led to no tangible evidence to support the assertion. The seller of narcotics is a contemptible specimen of the race. If narcotics are sold here to helpless addicts of the vice, no time should be wasted to arrest the agents and clap them behind the bars of a federal penitentiary. Victims develop an insatiable appetite for the drug, and, because they stoop to the lowest means to obtain the narcotics, are an easy prey for the conconscienceless man who defies the law to supply them with it. The only cure, it seems, is to deprive the victims of the drug, which is impossible if the smugglers are able to supply them constantly with it. Knowing the weakness of a victim, smugglers can obtain almost prohibitive prices for the drugs, an inducement that encourages them to persist in the illicit business. Whenever one of them is entagled in the toils of the federal law,

Cleaning House The next occupant of the White House will have a house-cleaning job facing him that will tax his ability to the utmost. The efficiency of the departments is at its lowest ebb; disorder is prevalent everywhere ; business is being transacted in a tedious and slow manner. The federal machinery is running cumbersomely and expensively. The statement of one retiring member of the cabinet is proof enough of the contention. Recently he declared that officials had lost their initiative and pep, and their subordinates show little enterprise. The new chief executive will be compelled to handle not -only the major problems of national significance but also imbue department and bureau heads, as well as their many subordinates,

with a new idea of constructive service. The present lethargy must be supplanted with energizing activity that will manifest itself in the speedy transaction of routine business and a new mental alertness for improvements and betterments. To accomplish this, the new president will have to surround himself at the very outset with men enthusiastically obsessed of bringing new iife into a host of employes and appointees who have lost interest in their work or perform it in . mechanical manner. Unfit and inefficient men and women must be weeded out and replaced with a new type that looks upon the work from the standpoint of personal responsibility. The task of cleaning house will not be an

easy one. it will try the mind and spirit of the man who essays the work," but its prime necessity must outweigh every other consideration. The work of the government cannot be expedited or performed with business-like precision and

snap if the chief executive does not sound a clar

ion call for reform at the very beginning of his

administration and backs his program with dis

ciplinary action wherever it is necessary.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

ON BIDING YOUR TIME It takes a lot of courage to "keep on a-keepln' on " Anybodv can work with zest and

will whore there are thrills a-plenty, and where big happenings loom to! surprise and inspire. But to start out a day knowing that there will be more i

trivial things to face than the extraordinary, and that much of the day must be given to the commonplace things, though necessary that is what tries the caliber of one's make and frame. It takes a fine grade of sweet patience to bide one's time. But the man of vision always has this quality. He seems to understand that many nights are bound to appear without any stars in them. He knows that 6ometimes whole decades must pass before morning comes around with its light. It takes the ability to greatly wait, and to watch, and to face calumny if one is to bide his time. And sometimes the light of the whole world 'ieems to have gone out.

Like being lost in a great forest with j nothing but strange silence to be-i

friend one, with hunger fast creeping on. It takes belief in a real God to bide one's time. But there is always a great crowd of gathering men and women getting ready gloriously to culminate the career of such a one. ""Who bides his time, and day by day Faces defeat full patiently. And lifts a mirthful roundelay. However poor his fortunes be He will not fail in any qualm Of poverty the paltry dime It will grow golden in his palm, Who bides his time!"

door, "what is the name of the aw paper you represent?" "I don't represent a paper," was the reply. "I design comic postcards." "Now, Tommle, what do we get from sheep?" the teacher asked, reviewing yesterday's lesson. "Butter?" Tommie suggested doubtfully. Oh, no! Try to think. What is your coat made from? Now tell me, what do we get from shfep?" "Father's old trousers!" Tommle responded eagerly.

MERCHANT USES NOVEL PLAN TO STOP THIEVING NASHVILLE, Ind., July 3. A novel plan to stop petty thieving from merchants was put into effect yesterday. One of the local merchants who has had many small articles taken from off the show counters watched a young man take two pairs of rubber shoe heels from the counter and put them in his pocket. The merchant locked the store doors and in the presence of several customers proceeded to give the young man a lesson in pugilism. After he had administered a severe punishment he played the good Samaritan assisted him to his feet and

bathed his wounds then led him to the door. The merchant says the

young man's parents were poor and that he did not wish to cause the parents any trouble and that he believes his method will prove effective.

"OVERALLS" IS ADDED TO PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, July 3. One result of the movement against the high cost of living in the United States has been to add a new word "overalls" to the Portuguese language. When the overalls movement started fn the United States recently, newspaper men here translating the Associated Press dispatches from English into the Portuguese language were perplexed. The literal translation would be "sobretudo", but as this

means overcoat in Portuguese, it would not serve. The translators finally decided on "doupa do operario, which in

English, is "workmen's clothes." At present, however, since photo graphs have arrived from North Am

erica, and the movement has been started here, no further effort is made

at translation. The simple English word "overalls" has been adopted by newspapers and public alike.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

The Topeka "Journal," working on the mystery of the famous New York whist player, thinks progress might be

made If any one could learn the identity of the man whose ace the doomed expert trumped last. The investigators have not yet decided whether Elwell took his false teeth out before or after he was killed. Outside of that the case is complete except as to the identity of the person who did the killing. PERSONAL PREJUDICES. I don't object to having ladies smoke clgarets. I think that Is all cigarets are good for. I am of the opinion that if a man wants to wear whiskers, it's his own funeral and not mine. I complained about the weather for

thirty years, but have quit. It didn't do any good. I am never favorably impressed by a man who comes In, sits down and puts him feet on my desk. I am dead tixed of having ladies shake "tin cans under my nose 400 times a day. I read Samuel Pepys for relaxation and Ibanez for hard work. I never steal an umbrella. I can never find one lying around loose. I have never made it a practice in my professional work to accept graft or political money. This has been comparatively easy for me, as none has ever been offered. I don't think the world would come to an end if the present cabinet retired to private life. I am old-fashioned enough to believe that Washington and Lincoln were the two greatest presidents in the history of this country. I have never had a piece of real strawberry shortcake in a restaurant. "Packed like sardines" is an old, old misstatement for crowded Etreet

car beings. Sardines are greased before they are packed. If the Mexicans want to get rid of

Villa, it strikes us that the best way

would be to make him president. Emma Goldman is tired of Russia. That makes is just about unanimous. Food hint: If corn and beans are too high, eat succotash. Jazz is music gone Bolshevik.

About 30,000 Chinese, quit their clases in Shanghai and thousands of others went on strike in others of the 14 provinces. Thery remained out for a month and, then called off the strike.

had just come from college to take his place in. the political life of his native town, and could not speak ten consecutive words without stammering and floundering feebly. But the applause, when he sat down, the land clapping and the foot stamping filled him with irido, and he sought out the pressmen's table and addressed himself to a man who was making sketches there. "You aw have taken a picture of me, I 6uppose?" he Inquired, with affected unconcern. "Yes." answered the artist shutting the book. "Intend aw printing?" "I thought of doing so." "You'd better, I think. Might give you a lift, you know. By the way," he added, as the artist made for the
