BAN ON OPIUM USE.
CHINA IN REMARKABLE DECREE
COMMANDS REFORM.
Newly Awakened Empire Rises to
Tarow OF pernicious Habit
Forced on It by Chris
tian Traders,

China has begun an awful struggle
She has decreed that the monster
| opium which has had its fangs in the
throat of the nation for more than q
hundred Years sucking its manhood
and vitality shall be destroyed And
one can realize family what the strug-
gle will mean when it Is understood
that conservative estimate places
the number of victims OF the opium
habit in China at l00000,000 persons,
or one,fourth more than the popula-
ton Of the United States. And an
other thing which will make the ef.
fort at reform more difficult is that
this insidious Chinese vice is not sec
tional or of a class. but touches every
part of the country and every grade
OF society
The decree of the Chinese imperial
government may best be appreciated
by showing its effect If applied to
similar habits in this country Let
us suppose that from 20 to 80 per
cent of the American people smoke
tobacco and drink liquors Let the
federal government decree that no
more liquor shall be distilled or tobac-
co grown. and that all importatons
OF the commodities must cease; that
men who smoke and drink are ineligi
BILE for public office; that every one
who uses tobacco and liquor must
abandon them. that every tobacco
store, bar and saloon must close.
The condition that would prevail here
suggests the mighty reform that
China has undertaken The penalty
for disregariing the edict is disgrace
and political death
Under the terms of the decree no
new ground is to be used for growing
poppies and the area of ground now
under cultivation must be diminished /.
by one-tenth each year. so that at the |
and Of ten years the cultivation Of the .
plant in China and the production OF
opium. save for purely medicinal pur. i.
poses. viii cease. Every user of the 7
lrug must register with the police and
tate the amount Of opium he uses, I
No person can buy opium unless he is
nus registered, and no additional per
.ons viii be permitted to register

The regulations for the cure of
hose addicted to the vice apply to

come to this couatry.
The office OF social aide was created
several administrations ago when one
or two men to serve in this capacity
were considered quite enough. But
during Mr. Roosevelt's occupancy OF
the presidential chair social functions
seam to have increased in number
and in attendance to such an extent
that it has been necessary to assign
a corps of AIDES large enough to cope
with their increased duties. When a
public reception is gwen at the White
House there Is frequently a line of Wis
itors two or three blocks long. all
eagerly and as patiently as possible
waiting for their turn 10 grasp The
presidential hand OF course some
body must introduce each visitor, and
here the social aide comes to the res.
che, presenting each person with due
ceremony Other aides are distrib-
uted along the line chatting here and
there, suggesting ways to prevent con-
fusion and crowding sand making
themselves altogether useful TO the
host and his callers
-Four large public receptions are
usually given each winter at the
White House. One falls upon New
Years day, when the home OF Presi.
dent Roosevelt is thrown open TO the
public, and every man and woman
who desires to may call upon the pres

matte corps later on, and receptions

A large part Of the credit for this
great reform is given 10 Wang-Ta-

No blood was shed during the ex-
odus Of the Indians The alarm was
for the most part needless. Herds
and settlements on the plains We're
not molested The war Ratchet Of the
Ites did not flourish as it flourished
years ago, and the staid aud common
| place ending Of the threatened Indian
war IL a fitting reminder OF the
changes that have come over the
I members of as brave tribe OF Indians
/ as ever disputed with the white man
/ and the Indian the right to the hunt
| ing grounds Of the plains and the
! mountains.
I In the days Of Red Cloud the Uintah
lands in Utah We're not occupied by
white men as they are at present. In
May, 1899, President Mckinley opened
mp the country where the Indians had
their reservation. There was a tract
of 10000 acres occupied In short
time by the whites There was an
other partitioning year ago The In
dams were allotted small parcels OF
land in two counties. They had to
give up their old tribal forms and take
on some OF the incidents of ciyiliza-
ton. Their lands were allotted to
them in severalty, and thereby they
became freemen. The supreme court
Of the United States has passed on
that point So in the recent threat.
ened war, the United States soldiers
would have dealt, not with an Indian
uprising but with a United States re-
belion.
There were once $4,000 members of
the Ute family, which numbered in
the recent trouble not more than 200
warriors. When Gen. John c. Ere
mont crossed the plains in lS41 the
Utes numbered about $4,000. In four
years Of war with the Comanches they
had lost five times as many warriors
as went on the recent march.
From 1850 to 1865 the United States
had continual trouble with the Utes.
At the time of the building Of the
Union Pacific railroad IN 1897 the
Uto- 10r man r Ion in
an a..aH. &c. .riv, back civilization
Hundreds of itla were killed Small
pox spread among them, and by 1876
the tribe which had once contested
the plains with the Comanches and
Apaches numbered about 5000.
The last conference Of the Utes
with a Great White Father occurred (
a short time ago. It had to do with
another opening OF their reservation. /
Appah. Red Cap ard other White
river Utes would not consent to the I
plans OF President Roosevelt. They I
and their followers, remembering the /.
words Of Red Cloud. took their wom- /
en-. children. ponies and arms and |
started for Wyoming, but the Indian /
commissioner was not uneasy about /
fae outcome Of the exodus. especially 4
as the lands which they sought in .

park system.
When the Utes were persuaded a 4
few weeks ago to 20 to the South Da-
kota fort. pending a conference in 4
Washington. they we're allowed to .
keep all their arms and ammunition.
To-day they have incomparably bet

and power than their primitive au-
cestOTs.
