WORLDS SUPPLY OF OPIUM
An Industry That Is Far More Exten-
sive Than the People of This
Country Know For.

Few people have any idea of the vast
areas given over wholly to the cultiva-
ton of opium. The consumption and
the manufacture of this drug, far from
Delng on the decline, are on the increase
TO an almost incredible extent, says the
scientific American. The greed for gold
IS lar more predominant in the human
makeup than is the philanthropic spirit
"hlcn seeks to elevate mankind,
though its purse may suffer in so doing.
England reaps more benefit from the
cultivation of opium than all other ma
lions put together.
IN the district of Bengal alone there
are nearly LOCO, 900 acres devoted ex-
cluslvely to the cultivation of the poppy
lts cultivation is legalized and in every
way encouraged by the British govern
ment, Which has an absolute MONOPOLY
OF mis- industry in India. The two prin-
clpal districts are presided over by and
uhoer the direct control of English Of
Meals residing at Patna and Ghazipur.
Inc Bafar agency embraces an opium
held of about 500, 900 acres and that of
benares is a close second with 473, 500
acres.
Ihere is a fierce dispute going on Just
Q as to the relative merits or demerA
us OF opium. Many eminent men in the
scientific world openly declare that
opium is a blessing. The government
experts IN the country where it grows go
SO Tar as to say that opium is a blessing
instead OF being curse to the natives.
however, me vast majority of mankind
VIII long be of the undivided opinion that
opium is the most a%ll-crushing curse
mat aHllcts man. The enthusiasts, or.
rather, extremists, of the International
Anu-opium society picture the condi-
t!on Oh India under the ban of opium in
the most dreadful manner possible. Ac-
corolng to n of these men, all of the
ooo'ooo, 900 human beings in Asia are ex-
posed TO the evils of the opium trade as
iegallzed by the British government.

benefccnce. But if, in the onward rush of this magnificent develop
ment, no great harm has yet resulted-if, indeed, good has come because
of or in spite of Our having 50 largely lost sight for the time of the pur-
pose declared in the constitutions it wise to continue indefinitely on the
changed course?
Grant that thus far, as you cast your drag-net over all lands and
classes and races, and make haste to divide with them n equal terms
the rule in your father house, you have still been able to leaven the
lurnp-not wholly, but measuraby and beyond expectation. Neverthe-
less, are you suret that as the lump grows larger the leaven from your
relatively diminishing numbers will still hold out? Can the
nation deal SC much better than Wall street with huge masses
of undigested securities? Or is the time approaching when
instead of continuing, with the amazing success Of the past, to assinnate
these homogeneous and heterogeneous additions to our body polite, we
may find that they are beginning to asGmiate us?
Are we then really taking a safe course to preserve the blessings of
liberty for ourselves and our posterity when we hesitate now to sft out
of our immigration not merely the pauper and anarchist and the poor
Ciinanan, but, with less invidous discrimination, more of the notorious
ly undesirable elements? Or when we hesitate to exclude peremptorlv
from the suffrage, national. state, or municipal, any newcomer who can
not read the laws before he votes for lawmakers, and who does nt paw
taxes himself when he votes taxes upon others?

E shall never grind with the water that has passed the

we have given to the pauper and the illiterate, to the COM
munist and the anarchist from abroad whom we have
already made at home among us; we will never withdraw
the suffrage from the man who now has it, but cannot
read his ballot from the man. that votes without ever
paying taxes, or from the man that has been convicted of
crime, but has been pardoned out Just before his term
expired in order that he may again render us his help in
securing the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our
posterity. What is done is beyond recall; and with all
its faults the achievement is colossal and Of Worldwide

LECTURE COURSE,

For the long winter evenings
to come, the Epworth League
has arranged for a course of
five entertainments, consisting
of Doctor &c. Wingo Humorist,
Story Teller, Madrigal Lady
Quartette, Earl Douglas Holtz
Lecturer, Elizabeth DeBarrie
Gill, Reader, Harpiste Contralto
Soloist and the Midland Opera
Quintette.
! These attractions are furnish
ed by the Midland Lyceun,
Bureau of Des Moines, Ia, and
with them comes a positive
guarantee of satisfaction. They
do not claim that any attraction
will please everybody and some
times the best attractions will
fail, but it is their positive
agreement to make right what
is wrong. They say they are
in the business to please and
satisfy and if they do not they
should get out of the business.
If any season ticket holder is
dissatisfied with the course as
a whole they refund the money
without protest. If any attrac-
ton fail absolutely, a new at
traction is sent free and if any
attraction does not give gener-
al satisfaction any "kick" will
be promptly and carefully set
tied. This class of entertain
ment should appeal to every
one of our people and the price
of the tickets, only $1.50 for the
entire course is certainly
reasonable enough. !:
A committee has been ap-
pointed to canvas the city for
season tickets and We urge that
all parties who can afford to
buy one or more tickets, should
do so at once, in order that the
amount of guarantee may be
raised.
THE FIRST NUMBER.
The first number of the series
of entertainments will be given
by DR.. ]. c. Wingo on Wednes-
day evening, Oct. 9Th, at the NJ.
E. church at eight O'clock.
DR.. ]. c. Wingo's lecture on
Clocks" sparkles with wit and
humor from start to finish and
is one of the brightest literary
productions of the age. He; is
one of the most remarkable
platform men of the south and
will surprise and delight every
one. ..
Season tickets will be on sale
only for few days, so we
would urge everyone, to secure
them at their earliest conven-
ience. Tickets may be secured
from H. w. Rife and G.. D.
Ganbriel. Season tickets $1.5O,
single tickets SOC.

MRS.KENDALL MUST PAY
judgment for $15,215 on Account of
an Old Note.

TIL siafternoon the jury in the United
States court returned a verdict for $15.215
for the plaintiff in the case of J. S. Swal-
low against Mrs. Mary E. Kendall. The
judgment was rendered in accordance
wit hthe instructions of the court, who
acted upon a motion from the plaintiff to
that effect.
The case had been taken up from the
district court. 1t was complicated. Mrs.
Kendall's husband, c. F. Kendall, at one
time gave a note for $4,000. He had an
interest in the Topeka Grand Opera house
and gave that as security. The note was
transferred several times and finally got
into the hands of Mr.. Swallow.
The attorneys for Mrs. Kendall stated
that the question involved was one of
equity. This was overruled by the court
The attorneys for Mr.. Swallow argued
that the money should be collected from
Mrs. Kendall's personal estate. They did
not wish to foreclose the mortgage on me
opera house because it would injure other
parties. They won their point and $15,215
was ordered collected from the defend
ants personal estate.

DR.. Outland will move to Topeka with
his wife about January 1, and will make
this his home. He is understood to be
planning to buy property and build a
house in the neighborsood of the col
lege. In addition to holding the posi-
ton of director of athletics, DR.. Out
land will have charge of some of the
classes in the medical department.
The work to which DR.. Outland Will
devote his time during the coming win
ter will be visiting in person the high
schools of the state and interesting high
school students in the great high
school track meet which will be held at
Washburn next spring. DR. Outland is
an expert track man, and he Will ex-
plain and illustrate to the high school
boys the kind of events which will take
place.
Among other things will be the high
school relay race. which will really be
the big event of the meeting. Wash
burn college will offer trophy cups as
prices in these events.
Friday night DR.. Outland left for the
southern part of the state, and will at
once visit some of the high schools
there and begin his winters campaign.
DR.. Outland will not only have charge
of the coaching and physical training
of the baseball, track and football
teams, but he will also be the business
and financial manager of these teams.
He will be the ''Stagg of Washburn."
His presence here will undoubtedly do
much to make Washburn's position in
the college athletic circles of the state
secure.
Will Keep the BIeachers.
Washburn's athletic board met Fri
day afternoon and decided not to sell
the new bleachers which were erected
during the football season. These
bleachers only about half paidfor them
selves during the football season, but they
are regarded by the college as necessary
for the accommodation of its crowds,
and will be kept. The managers of the
professional baseball park were negoti-
ating for the purchase of the bleachers,
and were planning to move them over
to their park.
The athletic board also elected FL
don Tice as temporary manager of the
baseball team, and Pliney Snyder man
ager of the basketball team, to go ahead
and prepare schedules of games for the
coming season. They will simply have
charge of the work under the general
supervision of DR.. Outland.
Washburn's athletic debt is now cut
down to about $500, and it is expected
that the ten per cent day on Deem
Der IA which has been offered by some
of the merchants here, together with
play to be presented at the college, will
raise 5000 of this deficit. The school will
probably raise the rest by subscription.
