"0et the Habit" of Trading At

youth of the country on the farm is
to furnish good roads. The extension
of the rural free delivery and of tele-
phone lines are all steps in the direc-
tion of ameliorating country life and
making it more attractive to young
people; but after all, the extension
of a good road system will do more
than all other things combined.
According to this view, which seems
sound, bad roads do more than any,
thing else to promote ignorance, iso-
lation, encouragement and disgust
among country people. Good roads
promote attendance at school and at
church. They make social gather
ings, literary societies, dramatic en-
tertainments and club and lodge meet
ings possible during the winter
months. In the absence of good roads,
the farm family has to hibernate dur
ing three or four months in the year,
SO far as social life is concerned.
With good roads, the same months
could readily be made the most pleas
ant and intellectually the most profit

Country Life.

The great papers of the country,
and many of the smaller one, are hav-
ing much to say about making life
easier for the poorer sections of the
large cities. And the movement is
we'll worthy of commendation. But
apparently they have overlooked the
farmer and his wife and sons and
daughters entirely.
And yet the farmer and those de-
pendent upon him are entitled to just
as much consideration as his city
cousins,
The lack of opportunities for men
tai advancement and physical enjoy
ment is the bane of the present day

a serious problem as to what will be-

which the largest attention has been

1t is also recommended that public
school children be taught the evils Of
the opium habit; that opium habitues
who desire to be cured of the habit be
treated at government hospitals; that
the cultivation of opium be made illegal
in the Philippine Islands.
1t is stated in the report that the use
of opium has increased in the islands
under high tariff; that smuggling pre-
walls and would probably increase il
the tariff were raised. The investiga-
ton Of the committee led its members
TO believe that immediate prohibition
IS practicable only as a preventive
measure in communities where smok-
ing opium has never obtained. In
communities where opium is used and
prohibition has been tried it has been
found source of blackmai. The COM
mttee states that the use Of opium in
the Philippines does not at present con-
stltute as grave a social danger as it
does in China and other neighboriny
countries, and on that account it is all
the more important to stamp out the
evil il possible or to check and restrain

CONTROL OF OPIUM TRAFFIC.
Report Of Committee Appointed t.
Consider the Subject in the Philip
pines.

An interesting document to be sub
mitted to Congress at its next session
by the Secretary of War is a report
made by special committee regarding
the best method Of controlling the
opium traffic in the Philippines. This
committee consisted of Major Carter,
Commissioner of health; Bishop Brent
and DIR. Albert, and in the course of
its Investigations the committee visited
China, Japan, Sumatra, Borneo and
India.
Aa q result. the committee has
recommended that the Philippine gov
ernment monopolize the opium traffic
for the next three years, and after that
time that its importation or use in the
islands be prohibited except for
medicinal purposes. They also recon-
mend that licenses to smoke opium
be granted to those over twenty-one
years of age who can establish the fact
that they are habitual users of the
drug. The report also recommends
that no person known to be addicted to
the u=c of opium shall be allowed 20
use the franchise or to hold Office under
the government: that in case a native
of the islands, not Chinaman, violates
any of the laws against the use Of
opium he shall be punished by a fine
and Imprisonment, and that Chinese or
other aliens who violate the laws shall
be punished for the first and second
by fine or Imprisonment and
