USE OF OPIUM IN AMERICA.
Chiefly Confined to the Chinese In the
Big Cities.

Preparatory to his trip to China to
attend the coming meeting of the in
ternational commission which is to
make study and investigation of the
opium traffic. DR.. Hamilton Wright,
one of the American commissioners,
has been making an inquiry in vai-
Gus cities of the United States and OBJ
tanning information from official sour.
ces as to the importation and use Of
the drug in this country.
The imports of crude opium from
1903 to 1907 were 100000 pounds
more than in the preceding five-year
period Seventy-five per cent. of the
imports were manufactured into NOR
phine, and so to 80 per cent of that
amount was illegitimately used. The
amount of smoking opium imported
in 1878 was $4,000 pounds, and in 1907
it was ISL, 900 pounds, notwithstand-
ing there was larger Chinese popu-
lation in the former than in the lat
ter period and that increased restric-
tions had been imposed against its i'm
portation.
DR.. Wright says that there is evil
dent desire among manufacturers of
the drug to obey the law, and that
many of the Chinese are anxious to
have the use of it by their country
men discontinued.
In New York city it is believed
about one-third of the Cinnamon there.
about 600 in number, are confirmed
smokers. One estimate puts it at so
per cent, while a great number Of
Chinese smoke it to less degree.
Figures furnished to DR.. Wright al
so indicate that there are probably
5000 white persons in New York who
are opium smokers. In Philadelphia
it is estimated that there are about
300 Cinnamon who are confirmed
opium smokers.
The commission meets in Shanghai

Didn't Want to Drink the stuff.

Talking Of vacations and such,
wonder if ever there was anything on
top of the earth less excusable and
more outrageous than the scale OF
prices that one finds at some OF the
less pretentious summer resorts on the
Jersey coast, where the season" lasts
only couple of months and where the
natives endeavor to collect enough
real money from the helpless vaca-
TONERS during this short period to
carry them through the winter, with
something to spare, says writer in
the Washington Star. A friend Of
mine has just landed back in town
from a two weeks stay at one of these
places and tells tale of woe. The
place he was visiting, or the name Of
1t, at any rate, is pretty well known
as a result of the strictly temperance
atmosphere that prevails there, and
that is the pride and joy of the orig
inal settlers among the cottagers.
Briefly, this friend of mine had
strained his back rather badly while
fooling in the surf, and physician
whom he visited advised a rundown
with grain alcohol three times a day.
So my friend stepped over to the one
and only drug store in this temperance
town and told the clerk that he
wanted a pint of the stuff.
"How .much?" he asked, when the
wrapped-up bottle was handed across
the counter to him, and he nearly died
of shock when the clerk calmly re-
piled:
"One dollar and half, please"

According to ancient British law the
sovereign shall not leave the kingdom
without the consent of both houses Of
parliament In ancient times the abb
sence of the king was met by the ap-
pointment Of an officer called the JUS
tciar." This officer was afterward
superseded by the appointment Of
lords justices under the great seal, but
none has been commissioned since
1921. In 1S45, when Queen Victoria
was about to visit Germany, Lord
Campbell urged that lords justices
should be appointed according to con-
stitutional practice, but the lord chan
cellor (Lord Lyndhurst convinced the
house that this was no longer neces-
sary, owing to the modern facilities
of communication. This has served az
a precedent ever since.

at the Point for week past leaving
on Thursday they enjoyed great
outing and delightful visit together
after long separation.
The John f. Dale family of Omaha
closed their eighteenth annual visit to
Point Pleasant last Sunday returning
to Omaha on the night train.
They are known to nearly everybody
in Madison lake. Mr.. Dale is an
idea fisherman, one who believes with
DIR. Van Dyke that "there is more
in fishing than in catching fish, Mr..
Dale is very successful fisherman and
gets his share" but whether his luck
is good or bad he always enjoys the
fishing 1 have known him to row
around all day with some novice whom
he was graciously instructing in art
of bait casting, and giving his crude
companion all the chances only to see
him spoil them and waste the oppor-
tunities for both, come home smiling

kills as many fish as the next man and
loses as few. He is no game hog and
never violates game law.
Something should be done to utilize
the carp in Madison lake they have
multiplied beyond belief. There are
hundreds of tons of them which should
find way to markets of the east
where they are appreciated and when
it is said they command price of
three cents per pound to the markets
which they are sold at good profit.
They should get ours. They are well
come to them.
The outlet of Madison lake should
be widened to twenty-five feet and a
channel cut below the bridge wide
enough to take the water. This
would save our farms bordering on
the lake from the annual inunda tions
incident to the use of the
big bitches which every time it rains
bring the water from miles around
into this lake where it rises from two
to four feet because there is not room
for it to run out more than half as
fast as it should.
The lakes will never be permitted
to be drained but this can be done
treating all justly and saving great
annual loss.-Let it be done.

Legislative.

To the Republican Voters of Blue
Earth County: Having been elected
to the legislature of this State on the
republican ticket to represent the people
of this county at the last general cleo
tion, | take this method of thanking
you for the high honor which with
your assistance was conferred upon me.
As | am candidate for reelection,
should have been pleased to have met
all of my constituency and personally
given account of my stewardship, but
the impaired condition of my health
for the last few weeks, has made it
impossible for Inc to see more than a
limited number of the voters between
now and the primaries. The 1907 ses-
sion of the legislature has been put
down as the most prolific reform leg
islation of any session in recent years.
While as a new member, do not as
sumo to have taken a leading part in
the work of that body, it was my pri-
vilege to give. hearty support to all
such measures as would in my judg-
ment meet the approval of and be be-
neficial to the people of this county.
Among the legislation which received
my support, l would call your atten-
ton to the reduction in freight and
passenger rates, the anti pass, road
and drainage laws.
I am in full accord with republican
principles as enunciated in our state
and national platforms, and the NOM
inees of the party will receive my
hearty support at the coming election.
Believing that the experince / have
had in legislative matters qualities me
for more efficient service, if reelected
for another term, I again present my
name to the republican voters of this
county for their endorsement at the
primaries to be held on the fifteenth
day of the present month. Cordially
yours, VIM. L. Mcqueen.
