says UNCLE CAV

I like to regard myself as pract-
cal, everyday, serviceable sort of an
optimist, but 1 confess that I hear
something now and then that is too
good to be true. For instance, I'm
told that Mrs. August Belmont has
founded a Society for the Prevention
of Useless Giving" If the report is
| true, Mrs. Belmont is welcome to four
teen particolored neckties, one pair of
pink suspenderS, six collar boxes, a
partico1ored smoking jacket, a job lot
of cigars, assorted brands, in boxes,
the common merit of which is to dis
courage the tobacco habit-a1 to
serve as horrible examples of what
Christmas giving will bring a mere
man to.

for eleven months and haven't the
heart to send them to persons who are
even now planning to send me other
articles of equally attrocious useless

The Christmas season, tradition
says, was once one of gayety and gem
erOus impulses. OF late years it seems
to have degenerated into a kind of gift
exchange without benefit of trading
stamps. Whatever it might have been,
Yuletide is now time when you give
your neighbor something that he does
MT want in return for something else
that is only in the way. Peace on
the dominating spirit, but Christmas
gifts don't look it. Neither do the
Christmas bills.
Most of US are perfectly willing to
be happy at Christmas time, but Scant

We suffer more or less all the year
round from an attempt to waste as
much money as the man who counts
his income by the bundle. The great
god Ostentation has made slaves of
most of us and he gets in his finest
work under the head of Christmas
gifts. The average American family
spends enough on the seasons folly to
keep it in furniture and some of us
rob the butcher and the baker to give
maker.
Seeking cover behind the excuse
that Christmas comes but once a
year" we indulge in Injuries that keep
our noses to the grindstone for the
rest of the twelve months.
Among other things that most of US
need are these:
Fewer Christmas gewgaws and bet
ter clothing.
Fewer grudgingly given, useless
gifts to others and more comfort at
home.
A smaller outlay for holiday cele-
brat1Ons and bigger accounts in the
saving banks.
More sense and less sentiment of the
maudlin variety.

way to bring about this happy refor-
nation, I'm in favor of building her

CHINA AND THE OPIUM HABIT.

CHINA AND THE OPIUM HABIT.
The establishment of the Chinese
Republic has led many occidentals to
change their opinion as to the lethargy
and inertia which they supposed char
acteristic of the inhabitants of the
celestial empire. There is another story
of accomplishment in China, however
during the past five years, which
makes it even clearer than the recent
revolution that there are undreamed
of springs of energy in the Chinese
people. About five years ago the Chi
nese government decided that opium
smoking, which had become the ma
tional vice of China, even to greater
extent than alcoholism is of the west
ern nations, must stop, and that within
ten years. 1t is scarcely to be Won
dered at that when this government
edict was issued it was greeted with
smiles everywhere; five years have
passed and now the world knows that
success in the great national crusade
seems almost assured.
The method that China is pursuing is
interesting. Five years ago China and
Great Britain made what is known as
1.-The ten years agreement by which
the British government undertook to
reduce the amount of opium sold in
Calcutta on government account for
export to China by 10 per cent every
year until the traffic had ceased. On
her part China agreed to diminish her
own production in a corresponding
way. Measures were to be taken to
reduce the growth of opium in China
10 per cent each year until at the
end of ten years no more would. be
raised. With supplies from India cut
eventually suppressed altogether, the
opium habit must necessarily disap-
pear. The results accomplished thus
far are promising. Travellers report that
it is no longer common to see men
smoking opium at their own doors.
Even two years after the edict those
who smoked did so in secret. The
edict is being enforced. The agricul-
tural map of China shows after five
years that there has been an actual
reduction of 80 per cent in the pro-
duction of opium. There has been as
great a reduction in its use. All the
world will watch with interest this
other awakening of China, and the
oriental method of solving a great
social question, says the Journal of the
American Medical Association. In the
west We have our social problems of
a similar nature and Chinas example
may prove illuminating and helpful.

A PROGRESSIVE SLUMP.

A comparison OF the Progressive vote in
the national and the municipal elections
in Portland, Me, may throw some light
on the extent to which the personality Of
Col. Roosevelt was responsible for the
strength of the Progressive movement in
the presidential campaign. The Progress
sive vote in Portland on Nov. 5 was 1906.
In the municipal election Monday ire
Progressive candidate for mayor received
only 500 votes. This represents a falling
off of little more than 70 per cent in the
Progressive party strength in little less
than one month, and it is not to be ex-
planned by any personal defects in the
mayoralty candidate. If he was strong
and popular enough to receive the nomina-
ton these qualities SHOULD have been suf-
ficient to insure the support of at least a
majority Of the members of his party. As
a matter of fact the Progressive move
Col Roosevelt threw his personality into Il
and seized the leadership. Many OF tho
men who were most closely associated
with him as leaders, advisers and finan-
cial hackers had no progressive leanings
and were not recognized as ProgreSSives
until Mr. Roosevelt had launched his
third term campaign. 1t was a Roosevelt
movement saddled to the Progressive
cause and using the Progressive propa-
ganda as an excuse for the promotion OF
the third term ambition. with the defeat
OF Roosevelt 1t was predicted that the
Progressive party as it was then consti-
tuted would collapse; that only the real
Progressives would remain, constituting
a minority of the strength of what went
to make up the Bull Moose party, as n
was called This prediction seems to have
been borne out by the result in the Port
land municipal election, and If similar re-
suits are shown in other cities in which
Progressive candidates have been nomf-
mated on municipal tickets they will be ac-
cepted as proving the case.-Springfieid

altogether too burdensome in this
country. There should be more of the

while they are office-seekers. They
only reach such conclusions after they
