WE MIGHT ALSO HAVE “LIGHT* MORPHINE

A Philadelphia physician, David M- Gardner, writing in the. New York Tinies, declares that; the demand for light wine and brer simply means to restore the liquor business as a whole. He f-ys that to drink five or six time® the amoiint of light wines, fermented ciders, etc., one gets the same amount of alcohai contained in brandy or whisky. This physician declares that if light wines are legalized,'he demands* that the sale of light morphine and cocaine also be legalized. | Morphine makes some people in-1 toxicated. so does beer and wine. If the matter of personal liberty is to be considered, where is the line to be drawn? 1 Under such a system we could have government inspected drugs, supplied in legalized cases and light chloral and light hero-| in parlors. Good music could be provided and opium, smoking couches installed. No strong co

eaine or morphine would ever be u. ?d or sold to minors because it would be illegal — and there would be no treating, nor would the places be open on Sundays. However, there is little danger that the sale of light wines and er will ever be legalized until you convince the churches and business men that homes will be happier, children better fed and dothed, vice less rampant, useful lives increased in number, industrial accidents less possible, and workingmen better able to pay his bills and own a Ford. Meanwhile the business is illegal and he who does not obey the law is i criminal. 1 O Subscribe for the Journal.

The President believes that no man should be kept in prison in times of peace merely because of 1 opinons expressed, unless it > could be established that they had attempted to stir up a gen- [ eral hostility to the purposes of t “the government. As a rule the mpn with sufficient courage to defend his opinions, in the face of almost certain pun- - ishment possesses -better citizenship qualifications than the man who possesses those opinions • but keeps behind a smoke-screen t until the danger has passed.

COST OF COAL PER TON. In a voluminous report the U. S. coal commission tried to figure out the cost of producing a ton of anthracite coal. The commission stated that the cost of labor in the anthracite mines had increased 145 per cent since 1913, but did not attribute all of this increase to advancing wage scales. ’Only a part of the increase is due to increased wage scales” the commission stated, “a part being attributable to the greates: amount of labor necessary in the later years, to produce a ton of coal due to mining of seams which formerly were considered too poor to work.” For the ten year period the cost of the supplies used by the anthracite operators increased 106 per cent, while general e.\ •‘enses advanced from 33 cents a ton in to 92 cents a ton i 1V23. In figuring the profit of the operators, the commission divided the tonnage of coal sold into the total amount received from its sale less any selling expensereported by the operators, thu revealing the ‘sales realization The average sales realization w; given at $2.63 in 1913 and $6.67 in 1923, an increase of 154 lx?r cent. The “margin” of the operators is the difference between the sales realization per ton and the f. o. b. mine cost per ton. The figures for the margin'are affected, the commission saidb - changes in the method of computing depletion and depression charges. The margin increaser 267 per cent, according to t commission’s figures from 191 to 1923. 0 THE BIGGEST ELK. The biggest elk on earth w>' Measured 80 inches on the eqir torial line -was on hand at the 59th annual convention of the B. P. O. of Elks at Atlanta, Ga., recently. He is W. T. Brinson of Waycross, Ga., and he tips the scales at, the neat figure of 6CO pounds. Although Brinson has been an Elk for many years he never before attended a national convention of the order. This is because the present day railroad trtins don’t have door wavs large enough to admit him. This year as the meeting was close home he cranked up h’s ’specially constructed automobile and drove to Atlanta. The automobile is reinforced against the extra weight it carries and has a long, hung seat in the back to give Brinson space and comfort. Brinson calls hijmself the original B. P. 0. E (biggest person on earth) and none has risen as yet to dispute the claim. Error* Inevitable. Who wbhee to see perfectly cleiiriy before making a decision never de rides.

NEWSPAPERS HELP TO LOCATE OFFENDERS. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 8. — Regardless of the fact that state laws protect many species cf wild birds, some persons persis in slaying them, and it is t’ class that the warden service endeavors to bring to time, according to George N. Mannfeld. head of the fish and game division of the state conservation d'oartment. Mr. Mannfeld today told how newspapers of the state are a great aid to his department and pointed out a specific illustration where he noticed in a Franklin county paper that a Shelby county farmer killed a crane. Wardens arrested the offender and a few hours later he naid a fine and costs of $21.15. A similar offense with the same kind of a tip canne from Wabash and the offender paid heavily for it. Practically all wild birds, excepting English sparrows, blackbirds, crows, hawks or birds of prey, are protected bv law. Especially is this true of many migratory birds. Persons who kill

cranes may have to answer to a federal charge, owing to a treaty with Canada. Fines under federal prosecution range from SI.OO to $500; under state laws, SIO.OO to $50.00. Mr. Mannfeld urges that persons who hunt should familiarize themselves with the laws, same being obtainable free in digest form by writing his office. In a letter to fish and game clubs of the state, Mr. Mannfeld says that his division had, up to August 1, planted 1,593,274 young fish in state waters. These raised in the four state hatcheries. The fish were delivered to 438 applicants, and by the first of October, all of the 900 applications filed prior to Anril 1, will have been filled. He points out that through the cooperation of the public, the division increased its license safes in a period of ten months, 16.000 over the same period last vear. and predicts that the twelve months sales in 1923 will bp over 170,000 compared to 153,000 licenses sold in 1922.. —o Subscribe for the Journal.
