EW YORK.—The good
men do isn’t necessarily
interred with their bones if
they have co-operating wives.
The late Hamilton Wright’s
world war on narcotics has
been shoved on down through
19 years of tireless fighting by
his widow.
N
At Richmond, Va., recently, Mrs.
W right pleaded to the N ational Con
gress of P aren ts and Teachers for
united and effective action against
the m ariju an a weed, m urderous
M exican narcotic smoked by school
children. She calls it the “most
pernicious of drugs.”
In New M exico, tw elve years ago,
the state narcotics comm ission
found growers and cigarette manu
facturers pressing a campaign
am ong children, and they found the
children sm oking m arijuana. They
passed a law. The use of the weed
crept on to New York, Rhode Island,
M assachusetts, Pennsylvania, Tex
as and several southern states.
At the Richmond congress, Mrs.
W right represented the federal bu
reau of narcotics. In 1921, she be
gan h er service as one of three in
ternational m em bers of the opium
advisory com m ittee of the League
of Nations, and has since waged her
fight ag ain st the drug traffic in ev
ery country w here it originates. She
was
E lizabeth
Washburn,
the
daughter of the late Senator Wil
liam Drew W ashburn, who had been
m inister to F rance.
Hamilton W right traveled, agitat
ed, organized, wrote and lectured
for y ears against narcotics. When,
in 1918, he went to P aris as a m em
ber of the peace conference, he was
killed in a street accident. Mrs.
Wright, highly placed socially in
Washington, left her pleasant home
and her four children and picked
up her husband's gage w here it had
fallen.
In China. Turkey and Persia, she
fought against the world tide of poi
son. She traced the green capsule
of the poppy, from the fields of Yun
nan and Shensi provinces to the
slum s and stew s of world capitals.
She rounded up the story of the for
eign w ars waged against China to
m ake her adm it Indian opium. With
Ellen La Motte, who wrote “ The
Backw ash of War,” she pieced to
gether a narrative as unlovely as
any chaplet of horror which ever
rested on the brow of the nations.
There are so m any things to be
against these days, it is bard to
pick your opponent. Why not just
take m ariju an a weed? This w riter
speaks with feeling on this subject,
having observed one citizen chew
ing another’s ear off in a m ountain
ham let in southern Mexico, quite a
few years before the weed becam e
an extra-curricular interest in
A m erican high schools.
I had joined in singing the quaint
“ La C ucaracha” song about the
cockroach that got so full of m a ri
juana weed that he couldn’t walk
home. There was nothing in the
song about the drug’s peculiar in
citem ent to m ayhem . The song will
becom e distasteful to anyone who
has seen m arijuana at work—also
m y experience near M azatlan,
w here a peon was shooting up the
town and lunging at passersby with
a m achete.
It was about eleven years ago
that the Brooklyn police arrested
Andrew Huerta, a M exican sailor,
who was selling m arijuana ciga
rettes. In a backyard in Queens, he
showed them a knee-high crop of
m arijuana. This led to the arrest
of racketeers, growing the weed and
selling cigarettes to soldiers.
E very year or so there is an a r
rest.
The cigarettes are m ade
from the dried leaves and the flow
ers of the weed, which is known as
“ wild tobacco” and looks like a to
m ato vine. It is a tough growth
and so is the habit. If somebody
bites you on the subway, you will
know w hat is the m atter.
All states, as Mrs. W right reports,
have laws against its growth or use.
except South Carolina, Kentucky and
Tennessee. But, so fa r as this w rit
er can learn, there has been no
unified or vigorous action, there is
m eager inform ation and there is ac
cum ulating evidence that, with re
peal, some of the m ore resourceful
liquor rack eteers becam e agricul
turists.

Lost Atlantis Again.
F or m ore than thirty years, P ro
fessor Leo Frobenius has been tak
ing the shine off our m odern civili
zation by dem onstrating that a lot
of it is old stuff. The fam ous G er
man archaeologist, lecturing in the
United States, is one of the leading
defenders of the lost continent of
Atlantis theory.
Now sixty-four
years old, he delves tirelessly in In
dia, Africa, Egypt, Tripoli and T ur
key. The son of a G erm an arm y
officer, also an author and scholar,
he m ade his first expedition in 1904.
Of all savants, he has turned up the
most convincing evidence that
many strata of g reat buried civili
zations underly our house of life.
