awakening that has taken place there. Nothing has contributed more to the demoralization of a nation than the extensive cultivation of the poppy and the use Of the drug derived therefrom. Chinas of course is not alone in the recognition of the9>harmful effects of the dope habit and it Is not the only country where determined efforts are being made to wipe it out, but China has been one of the greatest victims and it is gratifying that it has come to a full recognition of it's position and has taken such steps to improve con- ditions.
 For ten years the fight against opium has been underway. Licenses to carry on the traffic for a decade ex- pire March 31 of next year and de- spite the efforts which have been made through big monetary considerations to secure an extension of those H- censes they have failed. This means that all plantations must cease their production and they have been noti- fled to that effect. All opium sales must cease when the present licenses expire and all smoking of opium ends in June. Large quantities of the drug have been destroyed and more will be. There is evidence, that the govern ment is firm in its policy and the re- suit should be great benefit to the physical and moral welfare of that nation. It is a move which should have its effects in other sections of the world where too little attention is now given to the harmful effects of opium.

CARRAINZA AND VILLA.

Not a very favorable impression can be- gained of the strength of the de gacto government troops in Mexico as the result of the assaults which have been made in quick succession upon lhe city of Chihuahua. In each of shese attacks the Villa men have been 3rfven back but the repeated efforts thow that they were neither demoral- fed nor discouraged, but to the con- Fary were eager and ready to renew Operations. It is but fair to presume Therefore that they were encouraged by the showing which they made and hat had not the Carranza troops been Avored with the defenses of the city he result would have been different.
 With such menace existing and carranza's generals unable to disperse t, it doesn,h speak very we'll for the bontrol which the de facto government claims to have. or which 1t must have f it is going to handle the bandit bangs and protect the border from tuch attacks as have been made in the Dast
 From all indications the Villa dan Ter is something which can not be dis legarded. It has increased in the past lew months. The willy leader has be- bome more threatening and if for no Do other reason than to embarrass the lrst chief there are reasons to expect, bllowing the withdrawal of the Amer can troops as planned, that he will hlrn his attention again to the bor- Ter. and if Carranza is not able to rush him where the advantage lies bIth the de facto governments troops ! is hard to understand how he will manage the problem in territory where filla can meet them on more even erms and possibly secure as much of ln advantage as they now possess at Chihuahua.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Let Us Be Rational.

MT. Editor: I am not at aIl sur prised by the attitude of A Southerner. The people of the north and the south are very much alike measured by the simple rule of human nature. Lincoln looked upon the southern leaders as men who had erred not as men who were vile. All well-read people know they were men of good beart and fine personal quality who risked all for a cause and lost all.
 Those who believed in that cause can do no less than defend them and be self-respecting; and there $ really no reason why we should expect them to be. They car be loyal Americans and still do this.
 The Host cause'' they recognize as lost. We northerners may as well recognize that it would he well if there was no south, ard north, but just one America.
 The soldiers of the south and north who met as foes now nfraternize and have pleasant times together; ard if they can forget the past and be broth erly, why should not ali of us?
 Just after the war it should be re- membered a southern band played Dixie as Lincoln was reviewing the line, and the narrow souls about him flew into a passion, saying Lincoln had been insulted. "Oh, no," said Lincoln. we captured that song and it Is ours!" and we all know Dixie" capti- yates us even unto this day.

sALKINe AT HIGH TURKEYS.

1 This season of the year with the ap- proach of the holidays promises to zee the national bird. the turkey, sell Ing at it's highest figure. In preparing for the holiday feasts there are those 'wl1o pay little or no attention to the costs because they do not have to. Where are many who should but who do not give the matter much thought because dt is figured that such occa- sfons come tnfrequently and they feel that they can afford the extra outlay once, or twice a year. and because of this there are others who consider that they cannot be outdone, that they are entitled to the good things as much as their neighbor in better fi- nsncial circumstances and they make the sacrifice whetherit can be afforded or not. 2l
 Not SO however with the typograph- scal union Tn Boston. The members of that organization do not consider that they must pay whatever is de- znanded even though they can afford tt. They resent the imposition which goes with the high price of turkey and the increasing of the cost of necessi- ties beyond all reasonable limit and have refused to purchase Thanksgiv- ing turkeys at any price and voted to prevail upon their friends to, do likewise.
 This may not be enough to have much effect upon the prices there or elsewhere since there are but 1900 members of that union. but it Is just such stand and determination which Is bound to have the proper effect up- pm the manipulators of prices. They do not stand in the way of reasonable profits for others but they do resent being taken advantage of by specu- lators. When the country at large wakes up to the realization. of the sit- pation and does likewise the effect Throughout the nation cannot help be- lng felt.

SOLVING THE PROBLEM AN
 OTHER WAY.

Ever since the price of gasoline has been advanced. going to almost three times its former price and then drop ping back to about double, there has been a clamor for g. cheaper fuel for internal combustion engines. Some progress has been made in other countries toward the development of a combination fuel which cuts the cost and does the work just as well. There have been efforts made in this coiln- try to accomplish the same object and there have been stories of various kinds of liquids which can be manu- factured and sold for almost nothing which will do what is demanded in this direction. but as yet they have not been marketed and the result is that if automobiles are going to be run, gasoline must be purchased and the high price paid.
 Turning from the question of gaso- line, the quantity of which is limited, to kerosine which is plentiful inven- tors have gotten around the problem by perfecting a carburetor which will prevent the accumulation of carbon any more than as if gasoline is used, and which will so mix the kerosine and air as to secure combustion en- tirely satisfactory for automobile use according to one trade journal. That being the case it ought to be heralded as one of the great inventions of the day. It solves the problem of cheap motor fuel and that is what hundreds of thousands throughout the country have long demanded, and 1t is further evidence to support the old saying that there is more than one way of skinning 8 cat.
