FOOLISH PROHIBITION.

What is the natter with KansasY The
answer is at present that the state has
gone crazy over the liquor question and
in consequence Of the attempt TO pro-
hibit the use Of liquor it has surpassed
the bounds Of reason Kansas has been
known as rigid prohibition state, but
recently new law has gone into effect
which intends to cut of the sale Of
liquor even for medicinal, mechanical
and scientific" purposes, which makes
ii q misdemean0r to be caught drinking
from bottle on train which Is whiz-
zing through Kansas at the rate OF
mile a minute, or as fast as steam can
carry one. Conductors and other train.
men are now given authority to arrest
any Of their passengers who are detected
in the act of surreptitiously taking
drink when the train is still in the,
Snnhower state. This latter regulation
indicates the degree Of absurdity to
which the state has committed itself.
But the strietness Of the surveillance
which Il to be kept on railway travellers
is not the bad feature Of the law The
bad feature is the absolute prohibition
OF the sale Of liquor for medicinal pur-
poses By druggists in these days when
liquors Of certain kinds are recognized
as beneficial adiuncts Of medical science
Even if physician in good faith should
prescribe liquor for patient, it win be
impossible for the druggist to fiji the
prescription, as such sale makes him
liable to arrest under any circumstances
and however urgent the call may be.
In fact, even the display Of alcohol or
liquor 81 any kind on the shelves of the
pharmacy may be taken al prima facie
evidence that the druggist is law break
er and he can be arrested for the act.
II human nature il the same In Kansas

the present efforts there are bound to
defeat themselves. as there viii be a |
reaction Of sentiment against such dras
tic and utterly unreasonable measures,
and it would not be surprising to see
Kansas swing the other way Mean
while, there must inevitably be vast
amount 81 hypocrisy and attempts at
evasion Of the law. The matter with
Kansas is that she has gone too far IN
the attempt to secure prohibition.

IN MODERN
CHINA.
IX-Need of By
Currency Frederic
Reform. j. Haskin.

PEKING.-That the present condition
of business in China is bad; that statis-
Tics show a decrease in Chinese trade;
and that there are no present prospects
of immediate commercial bonanzas in
the Celestial empire; cannot be disputed.
1t is folly, however, to attempt to belit-
tie the Importance of the Chinese mar
ket by predicting conclusive judgment
upon the commercial depression of the
moment. II would be as foolish as TO
decide that the United States will never
again be prosperous because there was
a panic in 1907 The very same panic
which disturbed conditions in the United
States has spread throughout all the
world. Japan has felt IL more, perhaps,
than any other nation, but China has
also suffered severely. peculiar local con-
dftions aggravating the general financial
trouble.
One of the worst of the many vexing
troubles of the Chinese empire is its I'M
stable, varform, complex and inadequate
currency system. CuriousIy enough, the
foreigners trading in China suffer more
by the fluctuations of the value of mon
ey comparatively, than do the Chinese.
Foreign influence is therefore pledged TO
a currency reform program, the necessi-
ty of which the Chinese government adj
mits. Whether the government has the
power to enforce such a REFORM is TO be
doubted, but If taxation reform comes
first, giving the Picking government a
lever with which to move the inert pro-
vincial masses, sound money system

but to financial troubles in the United
States which caused a cessation Of de-
mands for silks and other Chinese proc
ducts which may be rated as luxuries.
The Chinese market was overstocked
after the Japanese Russian war by large
buying to meet the expected post bellum
boom which has not yet materialized.
This has contributed to the partial paraly-
sis of Chinese trade, and has had fits eff
feet on lowering the price OF silver, while
increasing the debts due by merchants
on balances for these same goods. This
feature of the situation has carried the
general business depression and panic into
the interior.
Yet bad as things may be nov. they
are not as bad as they were eight months
ago. The Chinese market as an essential
factor in the future of the worlds trade
is rapidly growing more important, Even
in panic times the education of the peo-
pie TO new tastes and to a higher stand
ard of living goes on. The troubles of the
time win pass, but the appetites and de-
sires of 100000 O0O OF people will multiply
and continue. The present duty OF the
nations is to assist China to establish a
staple, uniform, simple and adequate cur
rency system.

AS long as the foreign banks. represent
ing large transactions. and the Chinese
money changers, representing small trans
actions. continue to find the fluctuations
OF the money market profitable they will
