 tigation of the opium traffic in this city by the police department has disclosed such state of affairs that it has been decided to ask the aid of the government officials in stamping out the vice. Raids have been go- ing on for several weeks among the foreigners and negroes, and the evi- dence points to the centralization of the traffic in the hands of few men
 It is claimed by the police that the "pipe-hitters' are initiated into a society and that all obtain from one man orders for opium, written in secret characters. These are ex- changed at central place for the amount of opium called for. and on- ly that amount may be secured un- til another order is secured. The trade is said to be tremendous, but SD far evidence has not been secur- ed to connect up the entire selling system.

FATE OF A TWELVE
 YEAR OLD LION TAMER.

A child-only a few years out of babyhood is dead because the child labor law of the state where she was performing in a travelling circus when she was killed is criminaliy weak and inadequate.
 Martha Frazier died last month in Utica, Miss. She was employed, we understand by her own parents as a Hon. tanner. She was twelve years of age. and had attained some distinc- ton in her ability to put lions and other wild animals through their in- teresting exhibition. On Saturday, October 21- as the performance was closing, she attempted to make the largest male lion roll on his back and put his feet together. She gave the signal, but the lion did not re- spond. She prodded him with stick, whereupon the beast sprang directly upon her, and tore her body until he he was shot dead. Pleading that she might return to her work before the by her father to the sanitarium in Jackson, Miss, where she died the following day.
 The little girl loved her work. The very danger appealed to her childish mind. But the stain of murder can not be effaced from the seal of Mis- sissippi except by speedy and com prehensive legislation which shall close the doors of such industrial opportunity" against these little ones.
 . In the case of Martha Frazier, the stain of blood reaches farther than the. bounds of Mississippi. For the home of Martha Frazier was in Penn. syiv1nia-s- It was only by chance that her blood was spilled in Mississippi and not in her native state, for there also work on the vaudeville stage, or 1n . menagerie. or in a large number Of other occupations with the consent of the parents is beyond the scope Of the child labor law. The little body of Martha Frazier might have sbAen thrown to the Hons in Pennsyl- nnp1al a we'll aS tn Mississippi, with lout the violAtfon of any law.-Owen lH L0ee5eg h. EAes Survey. :.

THE FARMER: DECEMBER 15, 1911
DOES FARMING PAY.
London, Dec. 15-Does farming Great Britain pay?

London, Dec. 15-Does farming ln Great Britain pay? Before the small holdings act be-
 came law, the landed gentry fought the measure, their chief argument be- ing that agriculture could not be made
 to pay, especially if carried on on a small scale. They prophesied that, Ii
 the peasants were allowed to purchase small farms on the fnstalmenut plan, |, they would not be able to keep up the
 payments and so would lose not only the land but part of the purchase money as well.
 The Agricultural Organization So- ciety, in order to test a statement re- gently published that many of the small holders were in arrears, inquired
 of the 31 cooperative unions of small
 holders, having land in all parts of
 the country, if the statement was true.
 The answer to this Enquiry is that. out of the 5000 small holdings created
 by the act, in not one single instance
 has a peasant farmer fallen behind in
 payments. As the beneficiaries under the act are peasants and necessarily
 the poorest of the rural population,
 the society's answer to the landed gen. try is that farming pays.

THE HADLEY REPORT.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

The Hadley report stands for
 clearness, sanity, fairness-charac-
 teristic qualities of the man who
 heads the Railroad Securities Com-
 mission. It demands reasonable
 treatment of the railroads and full
 protection of the public.--Water-
 bury American.
 It is a singular fact that some of the conclusions reached by the Had ley commission are directly in oppo- sition to the views taken by President Taft before he appointed the commits sion and chose Yale's president as it's head President Taft expressed the opinion that railroad companies dO- ing an interstate business should not be permitted to issue securities with out the approval of the interstate com commission, after an exhaustive inves- tigation a series of hearings and a study of national and International opinions, has decided that it is not advisable to invest the interstate com merce commission with the power of regulating security issues. It recom- mends full publicity before the issu- ing of securities, telling of the pur- pose of the issue, and it believes that if the interstate commission were to authorize special security issues, it would ''tend to create an impression
 
 ty or official recognition of values, which no administrative authority can safely give"
 The Hadley commission further says: Eff railroad securities. were to be issued only after express authori- zation Of each particular issue by the interstate commerce commission or other governmental agency, it is diff cult to see how the government can thereafter escape the moral, if not the legal. obligation to recognize these securities in the regulation of railroad rates. In view of the vast extent of the railroad systems of this country and the magnitude of the fi- nancial interests involved, both on the part of the railroads and those who pay the rates, your commission believes that the possible conse- quences of such a system of regula- tion are too serious to warrant it's adoption at the, present time"
 There is little doube but If the rec ommendation of the commission is adopted by congress, the result will be g. more wholesome business condition.

alive they act with astonishing rapid
ity. They can be found at Van Wer-
