Drugs in China.

Z Amid the various measures of re-
form which are being execute in
China with the deliberate but syste-
matte and inexorable thoroughness
which is characteristic Of that extra
ordinary people conspicuous place
must be given to the suppression of
the opium traffic and habit, partly
because of the magnitude of the evil
which is thus being combated, partly
because Of its intrinsic nature, which
makes it one of the most difficult Of
all to deal with, and partly because of
the unquestionably great degree of
success which is being attained. The
most authoritative reports are to the
effect that China is tremendously in
earnest in this matter, and is rapidly
moving toward complete extinction of
that which has for generations been
regarded as her characteristic and in
eradicable vice.
1t was highly gratifying, as we have
said before that the United States was
foremost in the international action
which was recently taken for the en-
couragement and aid of China in this
great reform. But it might be asked
what it would pdofit this country to aid
China to get rid of the drug habit and
itself fall victim thereto? Certainly
the official statistics and estimates of
our own government, as presented the
other day to the Pennsylvania State
Pharmaceutical Association, are suf-
f1ciently ominous to set us to thinking
seriously upon the subject. 1t is dis
quieting, to say the least, to know that
the importation of opium is increasing
nearly three times as rapidly as our
population, that three-fourths of the
imports, or 100000 pounds a year, are
illegitimate1y used by drug fends,"
chiefly in the form OF morphine, and
that $4,000 pounds a year are smoked
by Americans, besides the larger
quantity smoked by Chinese in this
country. Equally unpleasant is it to
know that $4,000 ounces of cocaine
are illegitimately used in this country
every year.
These figures would be sufficiently
suggestive of evil to call for prompt
and vigorous measures Of abatement
if they meant nothing more than the
physical detriment which such use of
drugs must cause. But that is not
the worst of it. The connection be-
tween drug habits and mental and
moral deterioration is close and un-
certain. Nearly one-half of the GRIM
inals in this country. we are told, are
addicted to drug habits, and the ex-
pert belief is that the habit is in
large proportion of cases the directly
inducing cause of crime. With such
conditions confronting US, there ap-
pears to- be imperative need of the
strictest practicable governmental reg
ulation of the traffic in certain drugs
and of the imposition of heavy penal
ties for Illicit sale of them. There
are scarcely two more valuable drugs
in the whole materia medica than
opium and cocaine, and there are not
two more pernicious if Improperly
used. The healing of the people de-
mands that they shall be supplied for
that purpose in undoubted purity and
at the lowest possible price. The phys
ical and moral welfare of the people
demands that their unwarranted and
illicit use shall be prevented by every
legal means within the power of gov
ernment.-New York Tribune.

STUBS IS HAPPY
Given Assurance of Democratic
Support in West.
Rice County Bourbons Come into
His Camp.
WORKING FOR PEOPLE
George Saint Says That Is Why
He's for Him.
FOR PEOPLE
Speaks This Afternoon at Kins-
ley, Tonight at Larned.

Nickerson, Oct. 14-The Stubs
meeting here last night was just an
other notable occasion in the series of
big meetings held by the governor in
the southwest this week. Up to this
time this has been the best week so
far as audiences and enthusiasm are
concerned in the governors political
history. He admitted last night that
he had never been given so many fine
receptions in one week before. At Ly-
ons in the afternoon he was given an
ovation. The brass band that met the
governor at the depot was placed in
two autos and led the parade around
the city at noon Seven more autos
followed the band When the gov
ernor passed the crowds along the
walks waved hats and cheered him in
the good old fashioned way.
1t has been a great week. The
glad hand extended at Coldwater last
Tuesday has reached all along the
route The rank and file believe that
Stubs has made good and they have
tried to convey to him their senti-
ments SO he will understand beyond a
doubt,
A feature of the Rice county visit
was the large number of Democrats
who came forward with pledges of
support. George Saint. farmer liv-
ing near Lyons, came to the governor
at noon and said ST have been a
for you next month. I believe you
have made good. I think you are
working for the people all the time
and have done a great work. Lots of
my Democratic neighbors feel as do"
A young man from Lyons came to
the governor and told him that he
would cast his first vote this fall for
him. The boys father is one of the
most prominent Democrats in this Sec
ton of the country.
And so it has been all down the line.
At the depot at Hutchinson three farm
ers, all Democrats, came to the COVER
| nor and told him they expected to vote
| for him. Down in Meade and in Green
| burg we'll known ranchmen, Democrats
| Of the old school. declared themselves
man and fearless in the discharge of
| his duty. In all the counties visited
| this week the governor has gained two
| Democratic votes for every Republican
| vote he will lose.
Asked today about the proffers Of
Democratic support, Governor Stubbs
said: "I take it that the Kansas peo-
pie. regardless of party, show a strong
sentiment in favor of the endorsement
of the administration policies and work
This endorsement simply means that
| these policies will become sound and
permanent"
At Greenburg court was in progress
when Stubs spoke there at night. A
Democratic juryman came to him and
pledged his support and declared that
his Democratic neighbors were with the
governor too.
A Clark county ranchman who had
opposed Stubs two years ago. invited
the governor to his home to dinner and
told him in unmistakable terms that he
was for him now and would work for
his election.
In his reference to the state plat
form in his speeches the governor is
devoting more attention to the control
of utilities than any other plank. He
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-10-14

went right deeply into the matter at
Greenburg. Speaking Of the advantage
the railroad corporations had over the
public in the matter of men hired to
represent them in court he declared
that railroad attorneys are paid from
two to five times as high salaries as
the attorney general of the state or
the attorney for the state railroad
board. The railroads., the governor
said, pay out thousands in this way
every year. but save millions in liti-
Cation The state is penny wise and
pound foolish. It does not offer Suf-
ficient inducement to attract the big
lawyers of the state to its service and
the corporations gobbIe them up and
use their brains and experience to adj
vantage in evading the law and max
ing profits for their employers. The
governor thought the state should
sentatives, at least.
At the Lyons meeting Thursday af-
ternoon every available foot of space
in the opera house was occupied by
the crowd. The crowd on the stage
was so thick that the governor had
no room to walk a step in either di-
rection in delivering his speech. In
the Railways outside the doors the
crowd was damned from wall to wall
so thick that it was impossible force
q passage through.
At Nickerson last night they fired off
anvils when the governor drove in from
Lyons at o'clock. and just before the
meeting began they started bonfire
in the street in front of the hall. The
governors auto was stalled three miles
from here on the way over with a
punctured tire. He was billed for
Y. NJ. c. A. address at o'clock and it
looked bad for the Y. NJ. G. A., but the
Stubs luck held good, for directly a
big touring car came along at a mile
a minute clip. Fred Fehr, representa-
tive from Reno, a member of the gov
errors party, tagged the big auto and
the governor was transferred in a jiffy
and made his date to the minute.
Walter Johnson, the well known
Kansas newspaper man who gave up
his place on the Hutchinson News 10
take hold of the Lyons Daily News in
partnership with Joe Cook, is making
good in his new field. He likes the
work and the people like him. Good
combination to win by.
The governor speaks this afternoon
at Larned and at Kinsley at night.
