INDO-CHINESE OPIUM TRADE Great Britain still Protecting It
 Against Wishes of China

Washington, March 30 = President Taft may want peace and friendship with Great Britain, but the Interna- tional Reform Bureau here, Is dead against John Bull because of his opium selling operations in China
 In a special statement just issued by Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent of the bureau, Great Britain is severe ly censured for her tacit acquiescence in the importation of Indian opium into China, while joining the interna- tional crusade against the drug. With in the past few days, an internationaa anti-opium convention at Picking ap- pointed delegates to urge upon the British Government abrogatiOn of the agreement which would permit the sale of Indian opium in China for seven years longer. The Chinese Govern ment has prohibited opium smoking after one year.
 ''In 1906," Dr. Crafts declared, "fol- lowing a resolution of the British Par liament requesting the Government to bring the Indo- Chinese opium trade to a speedy close the Chinese Govern ment ordered the closing of opium dens in six months, and the gradual suppression of all poppy raising and use of the drug during ten years dur ing which period also the British Gov ernment agreed to decrease the export CI opium tO ClIa to tae SxLlLe utSIee, if during three years trial China re- duced not less than one-tenth a year.
 Instead of reducing three-tenths, China has now reduced it's own poppy cultivation and opium trade seven tentlls in three years, and has shown such enthusiasm in the reform, in spite of the sale of British opium all the while, that the new Chinese Parlia- ment has already decreed opium pro- hibition to take effect in one year, subject to imperial approval
 ''The Chinese Government has re- gently asked the British Government to release it from the ten years agree nlent and also from the opium trea- ties, secured by three opium wars, but the British Government has persistent ly refused China's request It is strongly supported by the British peo- pie in numerous petitions, although

THE CONSUMERS DOLLAR Only About B Cents of It Goes to
 the Farmer

Various wise men undertake to tell us what is the matter with farming. One told me the other day that the tariff was the chief cause of our trou- ble while his friend declared that the increased amount of gold in circulation was responsible. I thought the drought was what had come near put ting Us out of business this year, but the gentlemen who want to think for us and handle our goods-at price are bound to have their argument. They do not get down to the heart of it. The trouble with farming is the uneven manner in which the con- sumer's dollar has been distributed. By the consumers dollar. mean the dollar which a man gives his wife in town to buy food Or clothing-the things which originally came out of the soil. Out Of that dollar the far mer averages tIirty-f1ve cents. Some get more and some less, but the av- craze is thirty-flve cents, while the handlers divide the sixtyfive cents between them.-From ''The Consum- CTS Dollar in the April Metropoli- tan Magazine.

HOW THE TARIFF WORKS IN JAPAN.

The tariff and the high cost of living
 are troubling the Japanese also. MT.
 Clarence Poe, in his study of Japan
 csc industrial conditions in the April
 worlds Work. says:
 Higher still, and higher far than anything the nation has ever yet
 known, must go the cost of living
 when the new tariff goes into effect next July; and wages must thereaf-
 ter advance accordingly. From a
 British textile representative l learn ed the other day that a grade of Eng
 fish woolens largely used by the Jap anese for underwear will increase in cost more than one-third under the new tariff, while the increased duty on certain other lines of goods is indicated by the following table: Percentage of Duty to Cost of Article Printed goods 13.6 White lawns, PIP Shirtings 256 Cotton Italians 22.S Poplins 42.1 BrocadeS 45.4 "Neither a nation nor an individual can lift itself by it's bootstraps. The majority of the thoughtful people in the Empire seem to me to realize even now that, through the new tariff, Jap- anese industry as whole is likely to lose much more by lessened ability to compete in foreign markets than it will gain by shackled competition in the home markets. Farseeing old Count Okuma, one of the Elder States men, and once Premier, seemed to realize this more fully than any other rann that ! ha-.a aAAn-''

Unidentified Man Found Wandering
in West Liberty Railroad Yards.

West Liberty, Dec. 18.An uni
Identified man. found practically maxi
ed while roaming in the local rail-
road yards, is lodged in the county
inflrmary while the authorities are
making every attempt to learn who
he is and the circumstances leading
to his plight.
When found by the employees OF
the electric power mouse, the strang-
er was clothed only in a pair pof
socks and q tattered blanket. He
apparently could not understand any
OF the many questions put to him
until at the doors OF the county Jail,
when he replied in answer that he
came from New York.
1t is generally accepted theory
that tramps robbed him OF his cloth
ing and showed him from train.
though no marks Of violence appear.
He bears no resemblance to q wan
derer, so far as features are concern
ed, and were 1t not for the soiled
blanket which he carried, authors
ties think he might be some railroad
passenger who suddenly lost his rea-
son and left the train here.

DYNAMITE CASE is
NEARING THE END
Suspicion Confession Was False
Gaming Ground.

Junction City, Kas., Dec. 49,
With the release Of Rev. c. M. Brew
Ter Of Olustree, OKLA, proceedings in
the Fort Riley dynamiting case seem
to have come to sudden end. The
military authorities. claim that the
release Of the Rev. Mr.. Brewer and
of Mrs. Anna Jordan is severe set
back.
Private Michael Quirk. who con-
fessed to the dynamiting, and the
other five members of his company
arrested are still being held at the
post. The belief that the Quirk con-
fession was given merely that his
long solitary confinement might be
terminated, gains ground here.
Friends OF the Rev. Mr.. Brewer
and Mrs. Jordan do not believe that
the charges against them will be
pressed, although It is claimed that
new warrants will be issued at once.
