All imporation and exportation of cooaine, opium and their derivations is prohibit! d h\ tlie measure exeept for medicine. Due seetion of the bill provides for the deportation o" all aliens found in possession of nareoties. It further provides that ships, automo-' 1 iles and all other means of conveyaneo may ho seized when found carrying the prohibited drugs. The law, if it becomes operative, is going to do much to decrease the unlawful selling of narcotics. There is little doubt of the fact that a very grout per cent of the crimes that afflict this country and all the countries of the earth are; to be laid at the door of the drug1 addict and upon the soul of the degraded traflicker in narcotic drugs. Senator Hellin, Democrat. of Alabama. has asked the senate for a thorough invcstiiration of tin- Now York ('?>(ton K\i h.anyo, the Chicago Hoard of Trade and the New Orleans Cotton Km haney for alleged price iixini; and control through future sales. 11? said the cotton crop would In- exhausted hy duly I. and there Would In- no more planted m . an. c the cotton orou'us wne "iinata daily ruined.".

"The I test in Drug Store Goods, the Itest in Drug Store Service." .Motto of the International Association of Rexall Clubs. Withdr.iwal of Whiskey From Bonded Warehouses Louisville, Ky.. May 11.?Withdrawals of whisky from bonded warehouses for this year, on the basis of 'lie last three or four months, will amount to about 12,000,000 gallons, 'whieh is perhaps only about onehalf million gallons in excess of normal medicinal requirements," II. A. llaynes, federal prohibition commissioner, told the Churchmen's Federation here today. Mr. llaynes compared .his figure with 130,000,000 gallons of American made whisky which he said were consumed in the United States annually during the years immediately preceding prohibition, and with about twelve and a half million gallons withdrawn from bonded warehouses on permits in 1920 and about three and a half millions in 1921. "It is significant," Mr. llaynes continued "that at a time when liquor is inv/i v uiiutuit iu 111jl<1111 iiiciii iii any other time in our history; when drunkenness has decreased to a very Appreciable decree; when convictions for the violation of law are becoming most numerous; that at such times the largest amount of space is given id some of our newspapers to articles most flimsy of facts, which set forth tl.e idea that 'prohibition is a failure.' 1 am inclined to believe that this propaganda has its origin in the interest of large personal gains on the part of a comparative few, who have felt most forcefully the effects of the law. As long as enforcement ofiicers could be easily bribed; as 1< ng as the traffic went on unimpeded either by taxes, fines or jail sentences, as long as only the small offenders were brought to justice, there was little cause for the insidious propaganda. "Mothing can affi at the American I ople more than the statement that we eannot enforce < ur laws. In this statement lie the d'nth warrant of th republic, for hi- nation cannot en I dure without rcvi'i'i' ice for law, with-1 (ii1 the recognized authoiity of lav/. I The j> rpotrators of this row treason have overlooked one of the great essentials of the American people; that law is hut an expression of the nation's will, and the will power of Xmcrica has ever met apparently insuperable diMieult ie.s and changed them into world amazing achievements. " This law was ratified by 10 states, the largest n imher of state th.at had ever ratif'Kal a constitutional amendment. 'Th- real issue that underlies all the contest over prohibition enforcement. is Americanism in conflict with ? Id world customs and concepts; it is flpiYlfifrnf'V ntftiinuf oi/o??i/.o ne*ss and anarchy. It is cno mere expression of pride to say that when America wills to <! > that which other nations have not done, she will not fail of that achievement. "This is an hour when the harden of the war rests heavily upon people through the imposition of taxes, and the astute propagandist has pointed to the fact that prohibition will cost the government nearly $10,000 000 this coming year. However, if we were to collect the fines, penalties and special tax imposed upon violators of the law in the first six months of this administration, they would more than pay two and one-half times the esti- ' mated cost of enforcing the prohihi- 1 tion law for the next year. Those enormous figures do no! include nearly $.'1,000,000 in honds that are being forfeited to the government, or $2,000,000 that have hen offered in compromise* by 21 of of the* largest violators of the* law, anel elo not inedudc $0,000,000 in differential or prohibitive tax." Geo. Harris Addresses Mechanical Engineer* Atlanta, Ga., May 11.? Management must make greater efforts to .!o its share i:i maintaining the threelegged tal>!o that supports industry, George II. Harris, President of the Exposition t'otton Mills of Atlanta, declared at the National Spring meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Knginecrs here today. The South, Mr. Harris declaimed, was forging to the front in the cotton industiy because of advantages of labor, accessibility of raw material and absence of discontent which handicaps what he called "the union-ridden mills of New England." "Our recent ryad has been a hard one," Mi*. Harris said, in discussing "Management Applied to Textile Plants," "and now the capital is here, the labor is here, but world competition is also here, and it is going to take brains and active brains in the heads of management to direct capital and labor so as to place American industry in the front ranks and hold it there. "An industrial plant is not a military establishment and cannot be handled as such. The main object in any army, it seems to me, is 'to pass the buck' while in industry every man in authority should be prompt to stand firmly on his own responsibility and never attempt to shift his burden to others." In contrast to the New England mill where, be said, the labor is be ing replaced each year "at a steadily increasing percentage" with untrained immigrants, Mr. Harris described the typical Georgia mills thus: "In a Georgia mill is a class of labor, all American, recruited from the farming class. The manager has grown up with them and knows them in their homes. In many eases the mill, being a comparatively young institution, was built from a small unit by the present owners. I know of instances in Georgia, during the recent depression, where values depreciated so fast that it was impossible for a mill to continue operating without tremendous losses, but the employes quickly sensed the situation and voluntarily submitted to reductions in their pay in order that the mill might continue to operate. "Do you hear of any such actions in the union-ridden mills in New Fngland ? I have not. The result is that while the Georgia mill is in a position to sell its product today in line with the depreciated value of raw products, the New England mil has its manufacturing cost held up tictit iously and is forced to take heavy losses in current values or shut down. "The Southern worker is often ignorant, even illiterate, prejudiced nr.d proud; but he is of a mechanical turn of mind, has common sense and is generous to a fault. lie is not easily taught, but when once trained, 'develops skill and ability, which added to his native stability, enables him to outclass in many cases the workers of other sections of the country. Manufacturers of the South have never- understood that pride in artisanship is one of the prime moving forces in the Southern worker. "Unlike the immigrant worker of the North, who misinterprets the symbolism of the Statue of Liberty, the Southern worker respects authority, for in his home he has lived n a patriarchy, in which the whole family follows the laws laid down by the father. "On the other hand, he has less intelligence and is not so energetic as the worker of the Middle West, where French and German elements predominate. The Southerner, however, has more 'stickibility.' "The problem of securing uniform results from all factories, whatever the location, can be solved through planning, scheduling, disciplining, and esueciallv. the nroner knid of training. "The South needs train'ng schools to teach all arts. Having been raised tin ugh generations to do things in a crude manner, no artisanship has been tan "ht the mass. The South needs leaders in the management of every industry. Specific and scientific methods of training and carrying on operations must be developed. The worker cannot train himself? he needs help?he needs instruction, and he must have it. General education must be made available for the majority, so that the South may take its just place in the industrial world."
