O'Con nor en "The Drug Evil In Philadel phia." , , We have here the remnrks of a man that are net bnsed en theory, but facts the outcome of his dully experi ence as a magistrate. His picture of the drug evil Is nlurmlng and should arouse the fullest co-operation of the press, church and every ether moral influence with the officers of the law In a determined effort te stamp out this hideous evil. Incidentally, the magistrate deals a body blew te the pet beliefs of the ets when he says "Prohibition has had llttle if anv effect en the number of drug users." "It did net In In ercase the number of them materially, If nt nil, for the habitual drug user is necr a user of liquor." "I think that the liquor habit is declining." "I formerly hnd from ten te fifteen per sons before me every morning for in toxication, but new I hnve ene or two and often none at all." Evidently the mnglstrnte does net believe that "prohibition Is a farce." JAMES BROWN. Gorden, Pa., July 14, 1022.
