Attitude of United States.

What has our government done, and
what does ii propose to do, to mitigate,
If not entirely suppress, this evil?
Il have already stated that our gov
eminent Initiated the internati move
ment to suppress the opium vice. There
can be no doubt that the strict action
taken by this government in the Philip
pines aroused Chinese statesmen to the
possibility Of suppressipg the opium vice
In China.
ION China beginning her war against
opium, Secretary Hay sympathetically
considered representations made to him
by commercial, reform and missionary
bodies interested in the movement One
Of the earliest acts of Mr.. Root, as Sec
rotary of State. was to follow UP Mr..
Hays sympathetic attitude by calling
together the international commission.
Mr.. Knox has continued the good work
by giving the international movement his
earnest consideration.
September last Secretary Knox ad-
dressed the interested powers. proposing
that an international conference, with
full powers, meet at an early date at
mendatiOnS Of the international opium
commission and other matters growing
out of them. Immediate and sympathetic
responses have been made by Portugal,
Holland, Germany, Italy, Russia and
China.
THE British government has Secretary
Knox's proposals under consideration. 1t
Is expected that in a short time she will
make a favorable response. So that there
is every likelihood of such a conference
meeting at an early date and finally dis
posing of the opium evil.
Il do not mean by that that in year
or two years the opium evil will have

The opium thus produced is taken to
the two agencies at Benares and Patna
and there graded. When graded 1t is
divided into two parts-one known as
excise opium. which Is reserved for In
terna1 consumption, under excise laws.
and another known as provision opium,
which is sold to the highest bidder at
Calcutta.
After sale, the Indian government
washes its hands of this opium. 1t is
carried by the buyers to the markets in
China and other parts of the far east.
."rhe other side of Indian opium pro-
duction is the so-ca1led MalWa opium.
This opium is produced in the native
states of India. and over its production
the British-Indian government has no
control. But there is an agreement be-
tween the British-Indian pnd native
governments that this opium may be
transported to Bombay across British
Indian territory on the payment of a
pass duty on it's entry into British In
dian territory
THE revenue derived from the pro-
ducfion of opium in India consists OF
this pass duty on Malwa opium. and of
the difference between the cost OF pro-
duction and the price realized at auction
on the Bengal monopoly opium. To re-
strict the production and export OF opium
in India, it Is only necessary for the
Britsh-1ndian government to limit the
amount of Malwa opium that crosses her
territory, and to restrict the acreage
sown each year under the supervision of
the Bengal monopoly"
Sentiment Against Drug.
'How Is public sentiment on the sub
ject?'
1T is needless to say that in this coun-
try there is universal condemnation Of the
misuse of opium and other habit-forming
drugs. The public sentiment OF Great
Britain can be best expressed by quoting
two resolutions that have passed the
British house of commons by unanimous
vote since the new war on opium began.
May so, 1906, Theodore Taylor moved
that this house reaffirms its conviction
that the Indo-Chfnese opium trade is
morally indefeusible, and requests his
majesty's government to take such steps

that the production and traffic will be
placed under such International regula-
ton as will prevent its spreading to
any place not now affected. and that there

eral. the plant has not fiourished for two
years. On the other hand. in the prov
inces of Szechuam, the most distant from
Picking and the largest opium producing
province in China, little or no progress
has been made.
Imperial authorities are working up
to that province. 1t is expected that,
this coming year. the provincial authori-
ties will be compelled to carry out the
imperial edict, or will be removed and
CiSeraped.

Mr.. Morley. in supporting this resolu-
ton, stated that the Philippines opium
committee had surveyed the whole field:
that that committee. in it's report, which
he hoped the house of commons would
take to heart. declared that the United
States SO recognized the use Of opium as
an evil for which no financial gain could
compensate that she would not allow
her citizens to encourage 1t, even pas
sively.
May g. 1908. the house OF commons
again acted and passed the following
resolution: That this house, having regard
to its resolution unanimously adopted
MAY 30, 1903, that the Indo- Chinese opium
trade Is morally indefensible, welcomes
the action Of his majesty's government
in diminishing the sale of opium for ex-
port, and thus responding to the action
rangements for the suppression of the
consumption of the drug in that en-
pire; and this house also urges the gov
eminent to take steps to bring to
speedy close the legislation licensing the
opium dens now prevailing in some of her
crown colonies more particularly Hong
kong the Straits Settlements and Ceylon.'
Both these resolutions were supported
by leading members OF the last conserva-
tive government and were passed unani-
mously.
China's Part in Suppression.
Are the Chinese imperial edicts being
strictly enforced?
Decidedly in some OF the provinces;
unevenly in others.
"Sir John Jordan. the British minister
at Picking. writing on December q. 1909,
states:
Considerable progress continues to be
made in the task which the Chinese gov
eminent undertook three years ago.

'the most interesting things connected
with base ball Is the players life after
for time at least, after the close of
each season. There was a time when
professional base ball did not enjoy the
elevated plane as a profession that it
now does, when the majority of the
players did little but loaf during the
off season.
That period has passed, and such
players are in the minority today The
great majority Of them have some pro-
fession. other than base ball which
claims their attention when the bat,
ball and glove have been relegated TO
the shelf

lawyers. and not few doctors Of

are established in business of their

leaders, but there is nothing which
claims more followers than farming

chased farms. renging from small ones

and deeper dip into their private lives
reveals that "A good many Of them were
born and reared amid burrows. blowing
machines and general whOlesomeness.
The natural consequence is to wonder
why such should be the case, and the
only logical answer that can be for
warded is the fact that the farmer boy
has considerably more room to practice
base ball than the city-bred chap. 1t is
true that the farmer does not have a
great deal of time, but it is light until
late in the evening during the summer.
and after he has finished his work there
is nothing to prevent him from playing
base ball.
Strange to say. the majority of these
farmer-players are among the best ball

tory Saturday. and Grant Blakeslee,
