ADVOCATES MORE VIGOROUS
CONTROL OF OPIUM TRADE

The results of the opium conference
held at Shanghai last spring at the in
vitation of the United States have been
laid before the government. The re-
port shows that China is making re-
markable progress and admirable ef-
forts toward the eradication of the
opium evil and that the governments
concerned have not allowed their COM
mercial interests to interfere with a
helpful cooperation in this reform.
Collateral Investigations of the opium
question in this country lead me TO
recommend that the manufacture. sale
and use of opium and its derivatives
in the United States be so far as pos
sible more vigorously controlled by
legislation.

MINING PRIVILEGES
IN SOUTH MANCHURIA

In one of the Chinese Japanese con-
ventions of this year. there was pro-
vision which caused considerable pub
lie apprehension in that upon Its face
it was believed in some quarters To
seek to establish monopoly of mining
privileges along the south Manchurian
and Antung- -Mukden railroads and thus
to exclude Americans from wide field
of enterprise, to take part in which
they were entitled by the treaty with
China. After a thorough examination
OF the conventions and of the several
contextual documents the secretary OF
state reached the conclusion that no
such monopoly was intended or ac-
complishcd. However, In view OF the
widespread discussion OF this question,
to confirm the view 1t had reached.
this government made inquiry of the
Imperial Chinese and Japanese govern
ments and received from each of them
assurance that the provision had no
purpose inconsistent with the policy OF
equality of opportunity to which the
signatories In common with the United
States. are pledged.

LEOPARDS TAIL $l00 AN INCH.
Menagerie Owner Sues to Recover
That Sum for Damages.

The Southern Express Company
has been sued for Sroo as damages
for an injury to the tail of a Loop
ard belonging to the Rollins Car
nival Show.
The leopard was expressed from
Augusta to Macon when the Rol.
Inns show was wintering at Central
City Park two years ago. When
the animal arrived its tail was
found to have been crushed to the
extent of one inch, beginning at
the tip. Later an operation was
performed and the injured part was
removed.
Owner Rollins, averring that its
tail is one of the chief features of a
leopard's makeup, seeks 500 as
rccompense for the loss sustained
by the member of his menagerie.

A JOKER.

A seedy-looking man entered a
store in Trenton the other day, and
asked for assistance, backing up
his request with long tale of sick
ness and lack of employment.
With a wink at his clerk, the
merchant pointed to a friend who
happened to be in the place, and
replied:
"Ask that gentleman. He is
the proprietor. am only a clerk. "
The friend received the beggar's 5
request i'll sympathetic manner,
and, turning to the merchant, re
marked: This seems to be a wor.
thy case, Mr.. Jores. Give him &

walked out of the store.

protested that it had been a Joke

THE REPORTERS TROUBLES.
Much Censured by Inconsiderate Read.
ers.

Much has been said and often
very foolishly said, of the mistakes
of the newspaper reporter, but he
does not blunder any more fire.
quently than the doctor, the law
yer, the school teacher, or any 9th
er person, says all exchange. His
errors appear emblazoned OH the
printed page and because they are
so apparent, some critics Jump to
the conclusion that he does little
else than blunder.
But for all the criticisms the re
porter does not deal harshly with
his fellows, although the opportu-
nifty to do so is ever at hand. His
is a profession in which mistakes
are easy, for very much of the
news which is gathered must be
CLEANED from a second person who
has witnessed the occurrence that
is to be described. AS no two per-
sons ever relate the same incidents
alike, these two will often quarrel
as to the correctness of the other S
version, it will be seen that the diff
fculty i'll getting a correct chroni-
Gle is by no means easy. In view
of the mazes through which his
way lies in pursuit of facts, the
newspaper reporter does very well.
If the errors in their daily work
made by the merchant, the clerk,
the civil engineer, the banker, the
minister, the mechanic or other
worker were displayed as openly as
the mistakes of the reporter OH the
printed page, these men would often
have occasion to apologize for the
sort of advice they have given dur
ing the day. But being human
like other mortals the reporter
"gets in wrong" on some things.
The flippant criticism, however,
that "you can't believe anything
you see in the newspaper" is usu-
ally made by people who are the
most eager readers of the paper
they condemn, thereby stultifying
themselves if their indictment is Sc
riously delivered.

w hen Thieves.

Once, in the Valley of Some
where, there was a large and well
organized band of thieves, but they
did not call themselves by that
name, because it had become op-
probrious. Instead, they assumed
the more polite title politician. F."
Now, it was the habit of these
politicians to prey upon the people
in season and out of season, for
there was no closed season. Not
only that, but for long time they
made the people like it, as was
proved by the fact that the people
were wont to hold elections and
apportion the swag and the persim-
mons among the most prominent.
This swag they called by the eu-
phemistic term "emoluments."
For many years they thus lived
peaceably. The people were a sim
pie folk, and seemed to be content.
Indeed, they thought that civiliza-
ton was impossible without politi-
clans.
AS time elapsed, however, the
politicians became more greedy. In
charging what the traffic would
bear, they waxed more and more
overbearing. Not only that, but
they fought among themselves ever
more and more bitterly.
COT is we'll that they fight" said
the poet. when thieves fall out,
honest men receive their due"
And so the people rolled over on
the other side and went to sleep
again.
Things went on apace, but, in
spite of their theories, the falling
out of the thieves brought no relief
to the honest men, for, though a
number of honest men had appar-
emily survived the pernicious in
fluence Of thief-rule, not one OF

Womans Home Companion for No
vember, 1909.

The city of Pittsburgh, the life
of all actress, the franchise for
women in Denver, all these are
most entertainingly discussed in the
Woman'S Home Companion for No
vember
Special investigators who have
gone to live in Pittsburgh, and who
have had rare opportunities to OBJ
serve its social life, say that "Pitts-
burgh may be likened to a huge
pie, with upper and lower crust "a
plenty, but noticeable lack Of
what the good housewife realizes is
the chief feature-the filing"
As for the stage, the actress who
tells her story here has found that
twenty pounds of weight and
good digestion are but two of the
things she paid for her experience.
But women will no doubt still
venture on the stage-just as wom-
er will still struggle for the ballot
in spite of the fact that In Den
yer (accordiug to an article by a
Denver woman politician in this
issue) the much priced privilege
has crumbled to dust in their hands.
These women especially will be
interested in the story of club
woman, who resigned abruptly
from all clubs and will never go
near them again.
Yes, women will continue to
venture-and successfully-as wit
ness the experience of Lillian Todd,
the first woman TO build an aero
plane, who tells her remarkable
story in this months W0man'S
Home Companion.
A very different woman is Queen
Elena, ideal mother, whose story is
told by Kellogg Durland.
A new detective story by Anna
Katharine Green in this issue be-
gins we'll. There are stories also
by Kate Douglas Wiggin, Alice
Brown and many others. And
there is another chapter of Edward
Everett Hale's popular reminis-
cences.
So much for pure entertainment.
For practical use there are the SIX
teen regular departments. Espec-
ia.ly interesting are the two for
mothers. Fashions in furs, an ar
ticle on hammered brass. "a Three
Thousand-Dolla- House." are a
few of the interesting, useful sub
jects covered.
