fact which Is due to his having made a
lifelong study of it. He Is physician,
many. After his course of training he
went to India to study native diseases,
and his work. particularly In connection
with beri-beri. was one of his numerous
accomplishments. And at the same time
he had an opportunity to study the
evils of the opium habit at first hand.
After such q training 1t was but natural
that he should take his place among the
front rank of opium experts. and snoulo
head the movement in this country for
its downfall. At the three conferences.
including the present one. all OF which
came as a result of the movement inltiat-
ed by the United States, DR.. Wright has
been a delegate, being the only delegate
to have attended all.
The task of getting all the world pow
ers together for the purpose Of abolish
ing a traffic which represents $6OOOO.OOO
a year in revenue is not child's play. nor
can it be accomplished in day. Fortu-
nately, however. China, at about that
time. was making every possible effort to
free herself of the shackles which the
opium evil had woven about her. and this
gave an added reason for the work. 1t
was shortly after the Philippine opium
commission reported that China set about
SO resolutely to abolish the use of opium
within her borders. and that event marks
the beginning or the fight started by this
country against the evil.
Missionaries from this country to China
seeing the efforts being made, together
with several large commercial institu-
tons, appealed to President Roosevelt
for assistance for China. The matter
was referred to Secretary of State Hay.
and November 10, 1904. a hearing was
held before the Secretary, who promised
to give the subject serious consideration.
In 1905 this country entered into CORE
spondence with Great Britain. France,
Germany. the Netherlands and China,
to ask IL the time had not arrived to
abolish the opium traffic. These powers
willingly offered to cooperate and agreed
upon a joint investigation. Thereupon
Russia. Austria-Hungary, Italy. Portugal.
Persia and Siam. also interested in the
result was the international opium COM
mission which met at Shanghai in Feb
uary. 1909.
Between the time of agreement and
the date set for the meeting at Shang
hal, however the American opium COM
mission took the matter up with the idea
Of including reports Of actual conditions
as regards the opium traffic in all those
countries in which it occurred, and this
plan was adopted. At Shanghai the COM
mission thoroughly investigated the ques-
ton and arrived at nine unanimous con-
illusions which in substance condemned

of the world have already signifed their
willingness to eradicate the opium evil.
The revenue obtained through opium

storm warnings were first issued in
Holland, in 1860. and the following
year the system was adopted by the
English bureau. Daily weather charts
