Vice Segregation 4.

in an address in Philadelphia Sun
day Mr.. Charles N. Crittenton, founder
and president of the National Florence
Crittenton Mission for fallen women,
in furtherance of which he has devoted
his life and fortune, condemned Mayor
Viewers advocacy Of vice segregation.
He said: Segregation of vice in Phila-
delphia or any city is criminal. 1t
means moral debasement for any COM
munity. Every right-minded citize n
who loved his home and believes In civic
purity should vigorously oppose such
step. Segregation Is not only blight
and moral cancer upon any municipal
ity that adopts such method, but il
renders doubly hard the work ofreclaim-
ing the thousands of unfortunates who
are leading lives of shame"
Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, of Alexan-
dria, who has been general superinten.
dent of the mission for fifteen years and
is thoroughly conyersan. with vice con-
ditions in Philadelphia, seconded Mr..
Crittenton 10 her denuuciation of segrega-
ton. sit would mean nothing else"
said Mrs. Barrett, "than municipal part
nership with vice. A separate depart
meDt of police would have control of the
vice and that would mean that unfor-
tunate women would be at the mercy of
the policeman. Segregation would in
yolye the introduction of the Continental
system of registration, and this would
virtually be sentence to life of shame
for any woman"

THE PRESENT serious condition of al
fairs in Chicago, the outcome OF a team
sters' strike, afford food for reflection.
Mob law seems to prevail In certain To-
caliiies, and people who have nothing to
do with the issues which have precipi-
tated the troubles, take their lives in
their own hands when they appear in Ger
tain sections of this great western city.
What will be the end of these troubles
no one can foresee, but that such condi-
tions actually prevail in one of the
largest cities in the world at the begin
ming of the twentieth century is COM
mentary upon the peace dreams of some.
Dispatches from certain quarters OF the
world today are to the effect that this
country is endeavoring to bring about
peace between Russia and Japan. There
is much to do in the way of doorstep
cleaning in our own domains before we
attempt to regulate others.

THAT THE downfall of Frank G. Bige-
low, the deraulting president of the
First National Bank of Milwaukee, was
due to his unwarranted belief that he
possessed great business ability was the
statement made in Chicago yesterday by
one of his friends. The world has ever
been annoyed by certain people who are
born with little genius but with super
abundance of egotism, who imagine
themselves Admirable Crichtons. Their
self-sutficiency, ignorance and reckless
ness sooner or later bring disaster upon
themselves and often others are COM
PEELED TO bear their burdens.

To Grow Opium in the United States


To Grow Opium in the United States.
Secretary Wilson and other officials
of the Agricultural Departmentare being
bombarded with protests from the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union end
other women's organizations because of
the attempt Of the department to grow
opium iu the United States.
As result ofexperiments, it has been
discovered that opium can be produced
in this country at profit. For many
centuries the Chinese, on account of cheap
labor, have engaged in this industry ex-
clusively. The Agricultural Depart
ment has discovered how to reduce the
amount Of labor required, and there is
now no bar to the successful production of
the poppy, which means that opium,
which forms an important part Of many
drugs, will be grown In the United
States.
Even with cheap Chinese labor the
cost of opium is high because of the
great dniOubl VI ldDOf iiNOlNVu. w hth
the time arrives for harvesting, number
of Cinnamon, armed with slender knives,
are put to work in the field. They
make ar incision in each plant, and
Juice exudes. 1t hardens, and later
man goes through the field aud gathers
the hardened substance from each stalk.
After this the opium is manufactured by
a slow process. Pref. Galloway, of the
Bureau Of Plant Industry, has been con-
Quoting experiments for long time, and
it has been discovered that by new
process of distillation the laboriOus pro-
cess of gathering the poppy juice can be
dispensed with. The poppy plant can
now be harvested as any other plant and
the entire cutting is placed in retort
and distilled. Notwithstanding the pro-
lists of the women, the department Of
icials will continue working on the line
they have mapped out, AMI they are con-
fdeDt that within few years the Ameri-
can farms will grow all the opium con-
sumed in this country.
