he answers with a massacre of women
and children. He has promised all
sorts Of reforms for his people, and he
has inaugurated these reforms by the
appointment Of Trepoff as practical
dictator Of the empire. His navy has
disappeared from the face of the
waters and his army after an I'M
broken series of defeats is surround
ed, yet he hesitates to make peace and
his word that he will enter into peace
negotiations is only half believed fby
the world and perhaps only half
meant by himself Defeated at all
points in a disastrous and humiliat-
ing war he would dictate terms Of
peace like a victorious eonqueror,
prisoner of fear hiding from his own
people and sedulously attempting to
preserve his own useless existence, his
words are as big as if he were some

war has brought upon Russia. and at all
those which may still be feared, as well

that the admission of elected representa-

eStabifshed soon, as formerly, a uniGn
between the Emperor and all RuSSia-a
communion between myself and men of
Russian soil. This union and communion
must serve as a basis for the original
principles Of Russia
Think of the calamities the war has
brought upon Russia, think also
whose fatuous policy brought that
war to pass. Think of the statement,
| My will is sovereign, and it is my
| unalterable will that the admission
| Of elected representatives to the
works Of the state shall be regularly
accomplished What does that mean
What is the meaning of the other
large phrases, if not that God has
given to me and my heirs the Rus
sian peoples for our imperial glori-
fcation and eternal exploitation; and
while we will in our merciful con-
descension occasionally listen to the
cries of complaint, you must not for
get that the best you can hope for is
a union between the Emperor on one
side and all Russia on the other. ar

OPIUM NOT PRODUCT SOUGHT

The prohibition press and publicists
of the country are after the Department
of Agriculture because of the impression
that 1t is going into the opium business
On the same theory that they might
oppose the propagation Of rye and bar
ley. from which whisky and beer are
made, the prohibitionistS are taking UNI
bragg because of the departments in
terest in the cultivation of the poppy.
Some scathing editorials have been aim
ed at the department on the ground
that it is getting ready to encourage
the opium industry.
It develops on inquiry that the anti
poppy movement is based on a curious
misunderstanding of facts. Because
there Is a constant and large demand
among medical people for the crystals
or morph:a, the department went into
an investigation of the poppy, from
Wnlcn these are produced.
China's Primitive Mode.
The Ghinaman has q primitive way of
producing these crystals, which makes
them expensive. He sacrifices the head
OF the POPPY. and the wound presently
produces an oxidation which is opium.
This opium is then reduced by a proc
ess of disti.lation and CRYSTALS of NOR
phia are the product
Now, the department thought there
might be simpler and cheaper way to
produce the crystals. and has develop
cd it. The process which the anti
opium people have misunderstood SIM
ply produces the crystals without going
through the intermediate stage of first
producing opium Thus the very thing
to which objection is raised is elimf-
mated. Opium is put out of circulation
so far as concerns the production OF
crystals of morphia-
The prohibitionISts didn't understand
| this, and learning that poppy culture
was being encouraged got busy in OPP
! position TO a procedure that in fact Is
working right into their hands The
department believes il has some en-
