THE OPIUM EVIL IS
GREATLY CHECKED
Republics Vigorous Efforts

OBJECTIONS MADE

Face-Most Stringent Anti
Opium Laws Are Rigidly
Enforced

Luther Anderson in Chicago Daily News.
At last the iniquitous opium trade is in
its death throes. This disgraceful traffic
which has Slapped the strength and man.
hood of China and has ruined millions of
homes, is now about to end. For almost
a century the British opium merchants
have heaped up fortunes by catering to
vice which has undermined the very
vitality of the Chinese nation. Now for
the first time the wheel of fortune has
gone against the opium merchants, and
instead of seeing huge fortunes roll into
their Golfers they see ruin staring them
in the face. At the present moment there
are 10000 chests of Indian opium, valued
at S50,00o,000 in the warehouses in Shang-
hal awaiting buyers who do not come
This opium was purchased by the mer-
chants who formed ring and cornered
Indian opium. In so doing they evidently
acted on the assumption that the Chinese

uganda. They believed that the Chinese
might succeed In restricting the planting
OF opium, but that the habit would go on
lust the same and they would therefore
be In position to dispose of their opium
AT good profit. Now they have found
that they were mistaken in their estimate
OF the anti-opium movement So far from
being failure it has been the most sue
cessful of all reforms attempted by young
China. The opium merchants therefore
find themselves sadded with $4,000 900
worth of opium, for which there is no

fere with the wholesale trade of Indian
opium. but it does give them the right
10 regulate the retail trade. Moreover,
mere is nothing in the treaty to guaran-
zee the sale of Indian opium in China.
No Basis for Their Plea
Inc opium merchants contend that trade
- injured because China is not keeping
me treaty of last year. and that the CEN
lral government is too weak to force the
provinces to stop opium planting. There
ought TO be no restriction on their trade,
they-say, until China IS free from opium
cultivation, and the authority of the Gems
tral government is at present too weak
Tor such task. The real truth of the
matter is just the other way around.
Whatever may have been the weakness of
the government on other questions in the
opium reform its orders have been obeyed
10 the letter In fact, they have been so
well carried out that there is now no
sale Tor opium. whether foreign or Chi
nese. The anti-opium laws are mostly
national laws and have been promulgated
by the President 1t is because these laws
have been so faithfully carried out in the
provinces that the opium trade is now
practically ended.
If the opium merchants were the only
ones VINO would suffer by the sudden
ending OF the opium trade the problem
would not be very serious one and few
people If any would waste any sympathy
on a ring of spectators who got stuck
while specializing in vice. But the opium
merchants were clever enough to fortifv
their position by borrowing huge sums
on the security of their opium from for
eign banks and commercial houses in the
treaty ports of China. 1t is said by well
informed people that the banks have
loaned at least $i0oO0,000 on possibly un-
salabie opium. Almost all the foreign
banks on the China coast have loaned
money to the opium kings and have thus
become their allies against the Chinese
government. This powerful combination
Is bringing diplomatic pressure to bear on
the Chinese government with view to
securing an indemnity for the opium
merchants 1t is believed that unless
something is done soon to save the opium
merchants from bankruptcy theer will be
financial panic throughout the Far East.
India Should Come to Rescue
1t has been suggested that the Indian
government which has collected enor-
nous sums in the shape Of taxes on the
Indian opium before it was sent to China
should come to the rescue of the opium
merchants and thus stave Off the panic.
In fact, there would seem to be no other
way out of the difficulty, as 1t would
be utterly preposterous to force the Chi
nese government to indemnify losses on
trade to which the Chinese have never
given voluntary consent and which they
lave been striving to exclude for almos,
100 years.
In view of the hostility to the opium
trade which has manifested itself In Eng
land and In the British parliament il is
hardly proba Bile that the English govern
ment would go to the length of coercing
the Chinese in this matter

What is your earliest remembrance in

Every one of us can recall some hap
pening-probably some very trivial incl
dent-which took place when we we're
mere babies, but which has remained
wildly outlined in our minds right
through life
We have grown up with the recollection
that at the important age of two we fell
downstairs, and that at 81 we ran, panic
stricken, from policeman, who, we firm
ly believed, would arrest us for being
naughty" or something else equally i'm
pressive at the time.
Why such matters stick It is difficult
to say Even the busy master minds of
the world retain these first memories.
and here are some confessions which we
have obtained from we'll known people:
