THE GROWING EVIL AT BoDIE
[Bodie Standard

tBodie Standard
California's principal mining camps
are being rapidly filled up with Nevada
people o: all classes; and while we would
fam place the social standing of Ne.
'vadans on par with that of Calitornians,
there is one social evil, deep seated in
Nevada, most horrible. most degrading,
most extravsgant and most enslaving.
1t is opium smoking-the pernicious
habit introduced by the swinish heathens
and while Young America deplores SO

lie for, or borrow small sum of money
from friends. and even kneel with hands
clasped before the ugliest vissged China.
man in the land, Whispering for the
slightest inhalation of the soul-enslaving
opiate. This influx from Nevada has
brought and planted the seeds of this
deadly vice on every hand. They bring
their accoutrements with them, but still
are obliged to patronizs the Chinaman
when the deadly drug is wanted. The
gamblers, the demi monde. young boys
cast upon generous community to earn
their own living, clerks. and worse than
all, people who mipgle with our best
classes and our best society, hold secret
meetings asof ten as an opportunity per-
mits. will spend the better part of the
night in state of stupetication. The
only excuse ever offered is to the effect
that while many classes inject and other
wise indulge in morphins-too often pre-.
scribed by their pbysicians-the smoking
OF opium is comparatively harmless and
mild. and at the same time the OCCASION
oil, moderate, or even hard smoker, will
tell you that they are not enslaved, are
temperate and can quit when they
choose. Alas! what fatal error when
found out too late. In Bodie it costs
the average smoker from one to two dol
lars per day, while others smoke from
four to ten times per day, and 1t costs
