Drug Habit in America.
Americans use more opium
per capita than do the Chinese.
Of all the white races, we are
most addicted to babit-fOrming
drugs" -Statement by presi-
dent National Wholesale Drug
gists' Association.

the statement is credited is Sin the

very good living out of drug selling,
with nice profit from his trade in
opium, he, at least, has no kick COM
ing.
We have regarded the Chinese as
a sinful people, so much so that we
have donated thousands of dollars to
keep people on the job of reforming
and "Christianizing'' them. And now
it would seem almost fit and proper
for the Chinese to begin sending us
some fat, unctiOus missionaries to
teach US a thing or two.
The first job the missioner would
have to tackle would be regarding
the observation of the laws of our
country. In China, they have a stub
born tenacity of purpose when it
comes to teaching the law, and the
one who is taught is simply told once
what an infraction of law is likely to
result in; if the would-be law
breaker insists on ignoring the law,
he is speedily -ushered out of the
world by the aid of a broad-sword,
which lops off his head with neatness
and dispatch.
They do things differently in the

criminal tendencies grows tired of
honest labor, he turns blackmailer,
