The University sociologist makes the deduction: The Southern negro is working out his own salvation, not in terms of politics or formal education, but in terms of property ownership; wash' mainly in terms of land in the rural reeions.

Keeper John Allen Midgett of Gult SRoal station, coast guard service, reported to J. F.

Illinois authorities assert that the new Federal drug act placing a ban on dopes and narcotics has increased the number ot insane patients in the hos pital of the State by 300 in the last few weeks, and that a still greater in crease is expected. Similar conditions, variant only ac cording to population, have developed in every community of the United States and they demonstrate at the same time the necessity for such leg islation and ihe fact that it has been too long delayed. The effect of such drugs as cocain and opium on the moral mental and physical health of those ad dicted to their use is far woise than that produced by habitual indulgence in alcholic stimulants. The growth of the habit is mor« insidious, its practice can be longer continued without detec tion, and the appetite for dope, once formeJ, has a stronger hold on its vic tims than that exercised by ardent spirits. Indeed it may be doubted whether enactments prohibitory of the traffic in intoxicating liquors, no matter how rigidly enforced, would not foster a greater evil than that they aim to abolish, if the doors were not simultaneously closed through which those deprived of alcoholic stimulants could find acccss to more potent and deadly poisons. The anti-drug law is not making lunatics. It is only bringing to light the extent to which a most frightful form of insanity prevails, and thus affording the means of curing it.—Norfolk Pilot.

Davis in the Supreme Court. The hens belonged to Frederick Har ries and were all prize winners. Cooped together they were shipped in 1911 from Flemington, N J., to New York. This was after 10 of them had taken prizes at MadiFon Square Garden. The other 10, in two pens of five each, had taken first prizes at the garden. The.se were white Or- p.ngtons. All 20 got to this city, but Wf^re delivered to G. Z. Hawk, a Washington market dealer, who wrung their necks. H. D Merchant of 149 Broadway, counsel for the bereayed owrer, pro The loss of life on the British steamships Falaba and Aguila is an indictment of the Ger man policy of “frightfulness” which no explanations excuses can answer. When the commander of the submarine that pursued and caught them ordered the firing of a torpedo before the boats could be launched he was guilty of a deliberate act of murder. No plea of expediency or necessity can justify him. Even regarding the episoda from the German point of view, and admit> ting that his new kind of commerce- destroying is not sheer piracy, such a slaughter of noncombatants is nothing less than a brutal outrage. It is aUo a stupid outrage. It will give renewed force to the assertion that Germany is waging this war without scruple, that ver cups the hens had won. He al.so called experts, who said they were worth $3 000. Lawyers Kerfoot and Curry of 2 Rector street appeared for thf* express company.

Possibly he is right, but if 80, we must have mislaid our share of the surplus. The h'gher policy of the war as waged in Berlin began with a gigantic blunder in the invasion of neutral Bel gium. It is continuing it with another in decreeing the deliberate slaughter at sea of defenseless men, women and children. —New York World. One of the greatest political “re forms” of the year has been accomp lished in Ohio, where the new Repub lican Governor has removed the tax- officials in eighty-eight counties, all Democrats, and has appointed succes- i letter?

War has horrors enough at best. Men swayed by passion will do many things from which they would shrink in their saner moments.
