DANGEROUS POTIONS
Statistics announced by police
court officials in different sections
of the country show a heavy in
crease in drunkenness cases for the
month of September. It is said that
the vast majority of such cases re
sult from wood alucohul concoctins,
although cologne, Jamaica gingjr,
bay rum, and horse liniment have
figured in some cases.
The arraignment 0/ a negro in
the Police Court of this city last
night to answer the charge of man
ufacturing and selling intoxicants
brought .many spectators to the
court room. Thp paraphernalia of
this "still" was especially interest
ing. Bottles containing wood alco
hol, soda water svrup. ctc., were ex
hibited, and those present whes?
wont it is to indulge in stimulants
during this arid period had object
lessons placed before them which
they should not'forget.
One man who had been taken in
custody Monday for being drunk
testified that he was one of the
man's customers, and the dccoction
he purchased had the kick in it
necessary to make him -drunk?very
drunk. ?
On several occasions rccentlv it
is has been noticed that parties
brought to the station bouse in a
drtmken condition have remained in
-that state many hours beyond the
time ordinarily required -to reoupe
! rate from a debauch.
i It is known that, liquids manu
factured by amateur distillers-and.
sold as intoxicants are exceedingly j
dangerous. Apart from the disturb-'
an;es caused the stomach, such po-'
tions tend to produce total blindness j
and paralysis, while sudden deaths i
have been attributed to the use of
these dangerous potions^.
JEFFERSON'S FAITH j
It is a favorite device of th? op-;
ponents of the peace treaty to ap
:cal to the examples of the long-de
parted statesmen c*f another day?
to Washington, Jefferson, Jackson,
Lincoln, etc., and to urge that there
should be no departure from their
lines of action, no matter how
changed the circumstances.
The Philadelphia Record says ''It
i<3 a bit of pure claptrap, an:l should
f'c:eive no one, for the slightest ac
quaintance with American history
|"?hculd show every intelligent person
/that these great men were the very
j first to make innovations when the
j r.aticnal interests required them,
i Jefferson's purchase of Louisiana
! ?rcm France, which was in direct
> contradiction of theories long ad
vanced by him, is a striking case in
? cint.
Something over 100 years a-ro
th . opinion of Jefferson was sought
regarding a matter concerning
which it was contended that there
:>.culd he no deviation from the
nirit of 177(5. In reply the Sage
f Mcnticello wrote thess words of
admirable common sense, which are
rfcctly applicable to the situation
r.t Washington today:
"I knew that age well; I belonged
ta-it and labored with-4t. de-=_
served well of its country. It was
very like the present, but without
the experienc of the present; and
40 years of experience in govern
ment is worth a century in book
rsading; and this they would say
themselves, were they to rise from
the dead?I know?that laws and
Institutions must go hand in hand
with the progress of the human
mind. As that becomes moTe de
'v^cped, mcr0 enlightened, as new
discoveries are made, new truths
disclosed, and manners and opinions '
change with the change of circum
st.ir.se, institutions must ad
vr.iv also and keep pace with the
times. We might as.well require a
irirn to wear still the coat wnich
fitted him when a boy, as civilized
socicty to remain ever under the
regiment of their?ancestors. 11
ia this preposterous idea which ha?
recently deluged Europe with blood.
J.et us fellow no such examples
no - weakly believe that one genera
tic:i is not as capable as another of
taking earn of itself."
These words, written in 1SJG. arc
I
respectfully commended to Senator
Krr-v, Gecrg0 Wharton Pepper an:'
'?'r.iitar timid souls who profess ti
5-ee dreadful terrors in the peace
and the League of Nations. They
lack the robust faith in America of
the early fathers of the republic.
