Government Busy Cleaning Out Opium

g LOWLY the federal arm is sweeping
y IN the opium fiends. The recent
raid here by internal revenue agents,
when $4,000 worth Of the drug, pre-
pared for smoking, was confiscated
and the distributing organization for
the District Of Columbia broken up,
was one Of series of big hauls in the
larger cities Of the country in recent
months, as a result Of which several
hundred thousand dollars worth of
the drug is now in government pos
session.
In the last five months Just such
hauls, many larger and more lmpor-
tant, have been made by means of
which agents have in many cases been
able to trace the drug to the Illicit
manufacturers, thus dealing the most
serious blow Of ALL In Terre Haute,
Ind, where the richest haul Of all was
made, nearly 100000 worth Of the
drug was found when the inspectors
raided small river shack where the
crude opium was being prepared for
distribution to smokers throughout the
middle west.
I'VE are learning how to go about it.
We are discovering the haunts of

been hard job, because there is no

100000 miles of roads of one kind

however, is Of a character not wor,

little better than a rock pile. and 9th,
ers are wide tracks through bitches

miles In each hundred can be said to
have any improvements whatever, and
on the most of It the improvements
are such as to be unworthy Of note.
Altogether not two per cent. can be
called first class. With the proper i'm

will come a saving that will richly
repay the nation.
The roads in the United States may
not be the very worst in the world,
but they are bad enough as a whole,
that is certain, compared with those In
other civilized countries. Europe is a
network Of magnificent highways. In
Germany, France and England one can
ride for miles without striking a stone
Or a puddle. This does not add to
pleasure alone. It is the means Of
saving millions Of dollars each year
