With Only Months Left to Make Clean Up"
Opium Smugglers Will Keep Uncle Sam Tiptoe
ARTICLE NO. 3.
BY II. w. Madison.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA
Two years and a half ago China,
: with the other powers, declared
that opium raising must stop.
Uncle Sam, to help China In it's
reform, branded opium as contra
band and ordered II confiscated
and destroyed wherever found in
this country.
On January 1, 1912, opium pop
by raising in China will be entire
ly abolished. The intervening two
and half years has given the
growers time to plant their fields
with some other crops.
But between now and January
1, 1912, greater efforts than ever
will be made to ship big quanti-
ties of the drug plant past the
customs officers at the coast
ports. Today the opium ring of
Hongkong Is planning a snug

The smuggling has been going
on for two years and half. At
first, using the coolies employed
on the trans-Pacific liners as
agents, the ring smuggled success
fully without much effort. Tight
er and tighter Uncle Sam drew
the guards until smuggling be-
came an art. AS Uncle Sam got
onto his tricks. John Chinaman
worked out others.
One day, as a steamer neared
Honolulu, passengers saw an old
mattress showed into the sea
through a portfolio. 1t was i'm
mediately taken aboard by a fish
ing boat which raced away. Two
days later the price of opium
dropped. The mattress had con-
tanned the drug. Special belts,
holding a dozen or so of tins of
opium, have been found on men
who visited the ship to meet
friends" The friends were
half pound tins of opium.
In pickle barrels, in freight, in
baggage and slowed away in

available place in freight shipped

But San Francisco isn't the only

are proving fine stamping grounds
for them. Slipping the drug into
Canada and then over the line is

PRoGREssIvEs BEGIN sPECTAC ULAR ILLINOIS;
STATES DELEGATION AWAY FROM TAFT?
Especial Correspondencc.)


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. IA
Illinois is today the storm center
of the standpat-progressive war.
With the state as the battlefield
and the governorship as the os-
tensible prize, finish fight of ma
tional scope will be waged during
the coming six months. The real
prize is the Illinois delegation to
the coming national convention.
The storm is about to break.
Even now a speedy automobile is
rushing over the state, blazing the
way for other automobiles that are
to follow bearing the speakers of
the Progressive Republican league
of Illinois.
Put Up Hard Fight.
The speakers? Senator Robert
LaFollette, for one. And Sena-
tors Cummins, Poindexter and
Bristow, for others. Also Victor
Murdoch, the fiery crowned insar-
gent from Kansas. And Francis
J. Heney. And others.
A formidable array of insur-
gent warriors, these. But they
will be needed, every one, If the
state is to be carried for Walter
Clyde Jones, progressive candi-
date for governor. They will be
all needed IL the state is to send
an anti-Taft delegation to the
coming national convention.
Bad Middle.
For the Illinois situation is a
middle. The Lorimer scandal
and certain older issues have
made the Illinois G. o. p. a many
winged affair. There are the real
progressives, the Jones-Merriam
faction, and the pseudo-progres-
sives, meaning the Deneen fac
ton; the Lincoln Protective
league" meaning Lorimer; the
Mckinley league" a side show
started by a disgruntled politi-
clan, and the Union League club,
which is anti-Lorimer.
Out of this maze the Progress
sive Republican league Is trying
to draw enough decent support to
swing the state for progression
the initiative, referendum and re-
call, direct election of United
States senators, etc.-and to
swing 1t for LaFollette or some
other progressive for president.
If Jones be nominated, the in
terests may be expected to get be-
hind some eminently respectable
but manageable democrat. They
might even support Dunno, though
they would rather not. Dunno
isn't. manageable. Incidentally
there is some talk of Dunle for
the senate. This may be a ruse
to clear the way for less radical
gubernatorial candidate.
Papers Against Jones.
Every Chicago newspaper, saw
ing one-the Daily Socialists
either tacitly or openly playing
into the hands of these enemies of
the people. They are all dead
against the initiative, referendum
and recall. Not long ago one or
two of them favored direct legis-
lation, but now they are all
gagged or crying down the pro-
posed reform.
The Progressive Republican
league is going to put up a big
fight. Though not officially affili-
ated with the National Progress
sive league there is a tacit under
standing between the two.
The showdown comes in the
general primaries of next April,
to be held under the new primary
election law.
