THE GRAND JURY ON "DOPE"
lack, of futfts.
the commission,
AnoUSED by the gravity of the sltua-
tlon, the Federal drand Jury last
Friday took unprecedented action In offer
Ing a written presentment to the Court
In reference to the Illegal traffic! In nar
cotlo drugs. It urged, In particular, the
two things proposed by Investigating com
mittees and this nowspaper, namely, the
enactment of laws, both Federal and
Gtato, which will give the police better
Instrumentalities for the prevention of
tho drug traffic; and, secondly, the es
tablishment by the Btato of an Institu
tion for the care of unfortunate addicts.
The Legislature In 1913 provided for
a commission to secure a site for such a
hospital, although the Impu'te behind
the movement at that time contemplated
the care of alcoholic rather than drug
victims. This commlsslont was Intrusted
with the expenditure of 120,000. It has
already secured a site. The location It
wisely refuses to divulge, on the princi
ple that not enough ground haa yet been
secured and speculators would advance
prices for adjacent and necessary plots
were thoy Informed In the matter.
The last Legislature did nothing to
further tho plans, owing. It appears, to a
Nor Is It apparent that
which Is still In ex
istence, Is particularly active. Its mem
bers seem to bo rather surprised to learn
that there Is a "drug" situation. This Is
not altogether remarkable, In view of the
fact that the spread of the evil has been
somewhat stealthy. We suggest to the
commission, however, that It would be
worth Its while to begin a comprehensive
study, particularly of .what such States
as Massachusetts havo done In the care
of drug victims, with a vtew to submitting
to the next Legislature the kind of re
port that cannot be Ignored.
There aro two things in which society
Is vitally Interested: tho prevention of
waste and the recovery of waste.
Efficiency In manufacturing first cuts
down waste and then exerts Itself In the
utilization of remaining waste products.
The first object of the State should be
an effort to suppress the traffic in nar
cotics, and the second object should be
to cure the victims. Tho traffic never
will be entirely suppressed, and not more
than a part of the vlcUms will ever be
cured. The most that can be hoped for Is
progress In each direction. ,
It seems reasonably sure now that leg
islation of some sort wll be enacted next
winter. It Is important that the statuto
conform, to tho recommendations of ex
perts, police and medical, and that It be
written In strict accord with the Con
stitution, so that no further halt In the
fight against the evil may result from
devitalizing court decisions.
THIS IS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR
IT WAS .inevitable that political ma.
chines Bhould be affected by the high
cost of living. The price of everything
else has gone up, so why should not the
price of power follow suit? The demand
on the city employes for an Increased
payment to the Republican City Cam
paign Committee means that the old
standard of expenses has had to be aban
doned. Now, why should not the city
employes make the payments demanded?
Elections are fought for tho sake of the
spoils. The workers deserve the offices
for whlcjh they have fought. They are re
warded for their services by appointment
to fat Jobs.
Is It not better that the syndicate that
does our governing for us should be self
supporting and maintain Itself by an as
sessment upon the sums taken from the
publto treasury than that It should be de
pendent on the contributions which It can
extort from outsiders who seek favors
from lt7
We know there aro citizens who do not
like this system, but they vote into power
the men who do like It and when it Is too
late begin to object.
The Campaign Committee has a deficit
and It needs funds for conducting future
campaigns. Tp expect It to abandon Its
old methods Is to doubt the high authority
which has assured ua that figs do not
grow on hlstles and that grapes cannot
be picked from thorns.

ANY CHANGE IS FOB THE BETTER
TUB failure of the combined county

who made a survey for the Public Chari
ties Association ''they are treated more
aa wild animals than as unfortunate hu

ISLAND ROAD CAR TRACKS
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir So many different accounts of the
Injunction proceedings taken against the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company by the
taxpayers, citizens and residents of the
sixteenth division of the Fortieth Ward, as
reported In the dally press, that I take
the liberty of requesting you to publish
this letter:
It was Incorrect, as stated in the news
papers, that the residents of this locality,
the part of the Fortieth Ward known as
Clearview, from Elmwood avenue and
Island road to Lyons avenue, objected to
a second track being placed on Island road,
nor were we concerned because the tracks
were laid twenty feet apart Instead of
twenty-one feet six Inches, j
But what was of most Interest to us was
that from Elmwood avenuo to Lyons ave
nue, on Island road, there is no aldewalk
for the pedestrian.
For a distance of several squares the
tracks are laid on the (extreme sides of the
street, with a bank four feet high within
two feet of the track. The bank Is sur
mounted with a fence, and on the other
side of the street, within two feet of the
track, there Is a ditch from about two to
three feet deep, and with also a fence on
the other side of the ditch, and persons
traveling the road from Lyons avenue to
Elmwood avenuo must either walk In the
Btreet between the track, or on the car
'tracks themselves.
By actual count taken for twelve hours
on paturday, September 9. there were 700
automobiles arid teams, 425 cars and 1191
men, women and children passed through
one square on Island road, from Bulit
avenue to Elmwood avenue, not taking
Into consideration the persons who must
cross the tracks at Bulst avenue ta board
the cars.
The tracks are laid on the road In such
a manner that teams cannot go on them
should a congestion occur, for the reason
that they are five Inches above the street,
with nothing between tho rails, In the same
manner aa steam railroads are laid, a high
rail Instead of a flat rail being Used, or a
flat grooved rail as Is usual In city streets.
These are the reasons why we have ob
jected to the operating of another track
on Island road, and we are Informed that
the city of Philadelphia has granted a per
mit to the transit company to create these
dangerous conditions, therefore, the trac
tion company can proceed to kill and malm
because of the permit granted.
If any of us gets killed or hurt through
being on the track, out of the way of
team and automobiles, we have no redress
we have no right there, and If we get
hurt or run over 10 the roadway, there Is
nothing we can do. WhyT Because we
should be on the sidewalk, and If there are
no sidewalks, where, nay I ask, are we to
walkT
These are the conditions that have
aroused the resident.

INSISTS IT 18 A PANACEA
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Let us hope your designation of the
single tax as a "panacea" was not given
In an Ironical or flippant manner. We claim
It Is a panacea for the evil of Industrial
slavery, because, aa all men must draw
all their sustenance from land. It naturally
follows that If access to land Is made easier
and cheaper more land will be profitably
used and the production of wealth would
Increase. This the single tax will do. Let
u ooni.der the situation of today. In all
the large oUlea hundreds and thousands
et vacant lots abound. No labor has ever
been expended on .them, they furnish no"
shops, factories or homes to the oommunlty
at customers lor we existing capitalist
"and laborers, but the prlee asked by tho
owners may be very high, because these
owners know that If the. pljy continues ;to
grow In population some on .will pay
the pries t gat tha landlord out'.of'th
way. and than fte oan put to vacant iota

of labor and capital and would levy a tax
(to the extent of the full rental value) on
the land. Land would then only show a
profit to the holder when used. Compe
tition among those who would use land
would then be so great to employ laborers
that Industrial slavery would cease to ex
ist. It would then be the employer, not
the employe, who would go around hat In
hand asking for consideration.

THE DRINK EVIL
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir No sincerely minded temperance
man, realizing the blighting effect of the
drink habit and the terrible enormity of
the drink traffic, can read without some
degree of resentment Mr. Qllmore's letter
In the Eveniko Ledoer of tha 12th Inst
In Its effort to bring into disrepute the tem
perance legislation which has been enacted
for the suppression of this monstrous evil.
Ill does It become any man piese days
to attempt to defend strong drink. It has
long ago been repudiated by those who are
In a position to speak authoritatively upon
the subject, among Judges, philanthropists,
scientists, physicians, preachers, penal ex
perts and criminologists, and It Is a serious

Tha good people of Kansas and other
States who uphold and sustain the salutary
prohibition laws, and the people who resort
to any dangerous expedient to gratify their
unnatural passion for tho destroying stuff
are not one and the same people. The for
mer are the conservators of the best In
terests of the Bute, its welfare, Its morals.
Its progress. Its health, Its happiness. The
latter are the debauched, manla-potu vic
tims of a vicious demoralising system that
long before this should have met Its doom
at the hands of a free, enlightened Chris
tian people. Kansas wants to take no back
step on this question. There may be some
few alcohollo degenerate, in Kansas as
elsewhere, who openly, publicly, as well as
svrrreptltlously. override Al the safeguards
that society has placed in their way to
prevent their headlong rush to destruction.
It Is only too sadly true that after so
oiety has done Its very best to save men
from disaster, there still remains enough
of the Initiative to the Ill-disposed as to
enable the latter to wreak .misery, woe and
disaster upon themselves and upon others
as well. Never will such conditions ever
obtain In an state of society that will
transfer the character-making factors from
the Individual himself to the corporate body
of the State. But one question I should
like to ask our friend Ollmore, and It Is
this. How can any man professing any re.
gard for the welfare of his brother-man
ally himself In an attitude ahUgonlstlo
toward those forces that are calculated to
conserve the highest good of the people
to shield and safeguard the weak from their
own stlf-destructlve, suicidal hand, and save
the Innocent and the helpless from an end
