pipes became a national passion,
in which great multitudes partici-
pated with the qualification OF
triumphal professions.
Opium eating prevailed in India
as far back as the seventeenth cen
fury. Not in India only was the
opium trade fostered, but SNUG
glers were aided by British trad
ers and officials in introducing it
into China, where it had previous
ly been used but little, and gen
orally as a medicine.
The evil had grown so great
that in 1910 the emperor issued
an edict against the traffic, and,
with the spirit of the Boston tea
party, Chinese officials seized ST.

ships in the harbors, throwing it

TO BAR S0L0NS
Who SIGN
PLEDGES
(Times Special Service.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 10.-Washing-
tons state senate yesterday went
on record, 81 to II, for freak
bill to disqualify any man elected
to the legislature hereafter who
signs any pledge before election
to support any bill. Lawyers say
the bill is unconstitutional and
not worth the paper it is written
on. Huxtable grew red in the
face declaring members had been
"buncoed" and "flim-flammed' by
the Anti-Salooh league, getting
them to agree to support their bill
before election by calling it local
option bill and then they brought
in a drastic affair to be passed be-
yond what the members wanted to
stand for.
A rider was put on the bill to
disqualify corporation lawyers al
so. The whole thing is looked
upon as a joke by outsiders, as
the constitution provides that each
house shall be sole judge of the
qualifications of it's own members.

Uncle Sam Has the Philippine Law
Makers Over His Knee

the granting to the Filipinos of
an autonomous government.
Though then secretary of war
Taft made trans-Pacific trip and
opened the first Philippine assem-
bly, in persons.
AS an evidence of their appre-
citation of this unparalleled liberty
which had been granted to them,
the members of the assembly
threw the rhetorical gaff into the
great American eagle and con-
cluded their seditious session by
declaring for immediate independ-
ence, though there were not 5000
natives in the entire archipelago
who were in any way qualified for
independence.
This jolt aroused all the ire in
Taft's amplified anatomy and
when his candidacy for the presi-
dency was announced, the Ameri-
cans in the islands irrespective of
political affiliations, sent a Taft
delegation to the republican con-
vention, on the promise of insular
officials IL Taft was elected he
would inaugurate a new policy to-
ward the natives which would put
an end to the present unbearable
conditions.
Tie message of Gov. Smith is
accepted as evidence that this
promise Is to be speedily fulfilled,
and the caustic reference to the
native provincial police is taken
as the forerunner of an announce
ment that American authority is
to be restored In the provinces.
There is general rejoicing
among the white residents and a
feeling of optimism has displaced
the despair which threatened to
depopulate the islands of their
white population.
In Industrial circles, 1T is con-
fidently expected that the present
congress will grant free trade to
the islands, which desireatum, to-
gether with the curtailment of the
present absurd liberties of the ma
tives, will speedily bring an era of
tremendous development to the
long suffering islands.

BE Respectful or Get Spanked"
the Essence of Taft's Message to
Native Assembly, as Viewed by
American Residents in the
Islands.
BY H. Lee Clotworthy.

MANILA, p. l., Feb. To-
Granted liberties never enjoyed by
a subject people in the worlds CO.
lonial history, and found entirely
wanting in all the qualifications
demanded of a self-governing peo-
pie, the Filipino politicians, who
have been a pest to the archipela-
go since civil government was
established, have, through Gov.
Gen. Smith, received an ultima
tum from their erstwhile mentor,
VIM. H. Taft, that they will here
after show respect for American
authority and proper apprecia-
ton of the liberties granted them
or the present political privileges
will be curtailed.
This warning that the new ad-
ministration would not tolerate
the seditious talk which has
marked the proceedings of the ma
tive assembly, was incorporated
in a message of Gov. Smith to the
second session of the first Philip
pine assembly which convened
Feb. 1.
In the message the governor
general sharply reviewed the ut
ter failure of the Filipinos to evil
dence the aptitude expected Of
them in meeting the responsible
ties of self-government, and Off
cially announced that their dream
of independence will never ma
terialize unless there Is a marked
Improvement in their attitude to-
ward American authority.
In carrying out the Mckinley
policy toward the Filipinos, to
which he was committed, Taft as
Philippine commissioner and later
as governor general, melted the
wrath of every American and for
eign resident, by placing natives
in positions of authority over the
white residents Of the islands.
The native authority was ex-
tended over all the provinces and
the white planters were Inundated
beyond endurance by the insolent
and arrogant attitude of the native
Officials.
All respect for American author
|ity speedily disappeared and the
native officials displayed especial
pleasure in arresting American
citizens and throwing them into
|lathsome jails, on the most flimsy
|pretext. All appeals to Manila
were apparently ignored and hun
|dreds of white residents deserted
their holdings and left the islands.
practically all development work
came to an end and period Of
industrial depression threatened
every enterprise inaugurated by
Americans and Europeans In the
islands.
1t was at this critical time that
the Mckinley policy of assimila-
ton" reached its elimination In

SHANGHAI, Feb. 1O.-The
world parliament of IL nations,
which went into session here Feb.
1, at the call of President Roose-
welt, is organizing a worldwide
crusade against opium.
This first parliament OF nations
for purely moral purpose is
made up of representatives from
the United States, China, Japan,
Siam. Persia, Russia, Germany,
France, Great Britain. Italy, Hol-
land and Portugal.
II mas recently become evident
that the sending of the opium
traffic to join the kindred trades
of piracy and slavery in the limbo
of crimes against civilization,
which should be the natural result
of such a world conference, will
not be accomplished without a
struggle with the vested interests
|profiting by the opium vice. They
are presenting their sophistries
with such skill as to deceive even
good men to the extent at least
of consenting to compromise
which would indefinitely continue
the traffic.
1t is clear, unless the philan-
thropists of the IL nations par
|ticipating express Christian and
humane public sentiment vigor-
ously and swiftly by petitions, let
tiers and kilograms, each to his
own government, in behalf of
righteous action, that this jury
of IL nations, in which lone OBJ
stinate juryman" may defeat the
wishes of all the others, may fail
to give such verdict as the
world has right to expect in the
twentieth Christian century.
China leads the world in the

Under the glorious West Virginia
skies on perfect autumn Gay, at
Tu-Rndie-wei Park, on a picturesque
point overlooking where the waters
of the Ohio and the Kanawha COM
mingle, in the presence of a great
crowd of people estimated at 900
persons, and with imposing and inn
pressiye ceremonies, the graceful and
enduring battle monument was un-
yelled Saturday in memory of the
pioneer virginians, who, lS5 years
ago, fought what has been since rec
ognized by the American Congress
as the first battle of the revolution.
One of the most beautiful features
of the parade was the part taken in
IT by the school children their form
atlon pelng the nSure oil living
breathing flag that moved with the
parade, and excited the greatest in
terest and the most favorable com
ment. Saturday the big day of the
four days, celebration, was the big
gest day in the history of Point
Pleasant. Early trains from all di-
rections were loaded down with visi-
tors. and while the hospitality ofthe
town waseaxed to the utmost, Point
Pleasant was able to play the host in
an admirable manner.

THE ANN BAILEY A GREAT SUCCESS.

The new Point Pleasant and Ka-
manga ferryboat, Ann Bailey is a grea:
success, and in the opinion of river
men the most staunchly constructed,
best designed and most convenient
ferryboat on the Ohio river. To
Capt. Grant Hanes, one of the own
ers, belongs the credit of drawing up
the plans. The greatest ferry bust
ness in the history of Point Pleasant,
occurred Saturday, of the celebration
when the new Ann Bailey carried
nearly 5000 people over and back
again. Capt. Eaines says that 9,
500 tickets were sold. not counting
several dead heads that slipped on.
Offices were erected on the shores
and ticket sellers put in..charge. Mr..
Henry Stone, of the Kanawha ferry,
carried crowds of people across the
Kanawha, hundred at trip. The
new serryboat Ann Bailey cost her
owners over 1000, not counting her
machinery and boiler.

The parade, which preceded the

GlasscOek, was made up of regi-
ment of militia, scores of patriotic
and secret societies and 1000 school
children. 1t was several miles long,
and was the most inspiring pageant
ever beheld in this part ofthe coun-
try. The ceremonies attendifnt-up-
on this great celebration was the big
gest event that ever occurred at Point
Pleasant, or any other town within
one hundred miles of that little city,
and the citizens are to be congratu-
lated upon the splendid hospitality
shown the thousands of strangers
who came to visit them. Every re-
port We have had from there was to
the effect that not a thing was over
looked which could add to the com
fort and enjoyment of the visitors.
