End Of china's Opium Traffic

The suppression Of the opium traffic
in China has been slow. but it is now
considered to be ended: and since
sentiment-official and private--is now
practically unanimous in opposition to
everything savoring of its resuscitation,
we may fairly hope that a frightful
burden has been lifted from Chinese
shoulders. Some philanthropic statis-
ticans have gone to much trouble to es-
innate the pecuniary loss which this
business has caused the Chinese during
the four centuries of its existence
The total is enormous; but it is as
nothing in comparison with what the
drug has cost the people morally. We
believe that a no trifiing part Of the
reha Utilization Of the country and Of
the present activity of the people is due
to the Punishment Of opium.-American
Industries.
China has thrown off the yoke of
opium, in spite Of the unholy greed Of
nations that had a strangle hold upon
her. Russia has slaughtered the vodka
monster. and France has ended its
absinthe curse. But the United States
is still the slave Of the German beer
traffic, largely through the treachery.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Do you think it is a good time Tor
Augusta to raise $4,000 by taxation
to 'disentangle" the affairs OF the
Capital Park Association: to provide
place where horse trots. fairs, base
ball games and other public gather
ings can be held and incidentally TO
provide a chance for Augusta to buy
earth and gravel? BY taxation" II
il means what it says, means $4,000
would be raised in some one year by
tax levy. In ten years the tax rate
has jumped from $3.50 to $4,000 and
from the citys apparent needs there is
no immediate prospect of reduction
in this rate. Is it a good time to In
crease that tax rate to buy property
for amusement purposes? Is it good
time to raise $4,000 for such pur-
pose by bond issue? The July Au-
ditor's report shows Net Bonded
Debt and City Bonds OF practically
s364.00o. Whether this includes bonds
just issued for school purposes is not
stated. 1t also shows that rising $780,
coo has been paid to the City for Trust
Funds, of which amount less than 1850
is on hand in cash, the balance being
rt presented by tax deeds, uncollected
taxes running back as far as 1908,
sewer assessments and the various
city property which has no selling or
income value. Every time new school
house is built or an old one enlarged
it means not only an increased annual
tax to pay the bonds and the interest
on them but also an increase in run
ming expenses. If Capital Park is
bought 1t would mean money spent
every year to keep it in condition. Base
ball in Augusta is dead until new
crop Of angels" is born; County Fairs
and the day of circuses are gone by
and not even Eden Hanks would have
the courage to promote horse trot.
There doesn't seem to be any crying
need for Capital Park for amusement
purposes just now and there are three
reasons why it should not be bought:
Augustus financial condition,
The condition of our Highways.
The needs of the Fire Department.
1t will be interesting to have those
who were responsible for this legisla-
ton give to the people Of Augusta over
their own signatures in the Kennebec
Journal. the reasons why we should
raise $4,000 "by taxation" to buy Cap
ital Park.

The Origin of Suffrage

The origin of the suffrage movement in
the United States is being grossly misrep-
resented by those who would retard thu
the credit is being given to the Mormon
church. Any student of history will on
ly be amused at this absurd statement.
Margaret Brent of Maryland, heir of
Lord Calvert demanded place and voice
In the legislature of Maryland in 1647 and
SO to her must go the honor of introduce
ing suffrage in the United States. Suf-
frage was first put into practical effect
In 1776 in New Jersey (under Quaker in
fuence). In modern times it began in
Wyoming. which gave women full suf-
frage in 1869. No Mormon was a member
OF the legislature or had anything to do
with it
In the Utah constitutional convention
the fight against Woman Suffrage was
led by Brigham H. Roberts, we'll
known Mormon polygami
Feminism and Socialism are also said
to be synonymous with Suffrage In Eng
land and Europe the word Fem
inism" merely means the doctrine
OF equal rights for women. In is
Woru that is just coming into
use in America but the majority of
people are not familiar with the Euro
pean meaning and the term when used
with the world suffrage is supposed to
cast discredit upon the franchise for wo-
men.
AS to Socialism woman suffrage has
been endorsed hy the National Socialist
party. This Is true also of the Prohibi-
ton. the Republican. the Democratic ana
the Progressive parties. The fac: d, es
not make suffra gists members of one par
ty only. Socialists vote as individuals,
just as do other men. The strongly So
cialist wards of Milwaukee, which gave
majorities of three and four to one for
the socialist candidate at a recent cleo
ton gave large majorities against suf-
frage.
The Maine suffragist are a non-par-
tisan body and seek their enfranchise-
ment at the hands of all parties. II is TO
the men Of Maine they look for their DO
litical freedom on September 10, not to
any one political group.

President Wilson Answers Pope

If Americans are not proud of their
Presidents most recent utterance'
then something is wrong with AMER
scans.
Pr .dert Wilson speaks fo~ the
world S hest, ard four-nfths of the
wcrld will understand and approve.
Our President has answered for the
entente allies the Popa's peace pro
posals and, while making plain TO eN-
cry human being Of intelligence. good
and sufficient reasons Cor rejection
has left the peace door wide open.
In every land thinking people iaaN2
anticipated rejection 3y the United
States, England, France and Italy.
but few are there among the biggest
minds Of all of these. who could
have anticipated the superlative SIM
plicity in exact statemen. Of human
ity's case:
Whatever President Wilson may DO
or may not do. on the walls OF mem
ory will hang this. his masterpiece.
Over the heads of the Kaisc" and
bureaucracy to the German people.
president Wilson has seized the OPP
uortunity Of the Popes kindly pur-
pose to say:
No peace can be made with the
military masters.
The word Of the dynasty and Prus-
sian bureaucracy is worthless.
Democracy can no longe. accept
guarantees from autocracy.
The German people must throw OF
the yoke Of irresponsible government.
and themselves rule.
The war is not waged against the
German people but against that
peoples masters.
The world menace Of a vast mill
tary establishment must be over
thrown; It has respected no sacred
obligation: has stopped ut no barrier,
either Of law or mercy; has swept the
whole continent into the tide of blood
not the blood Of soldiers but the
blood Of innocent women and chill
dren and Of the helpless poor; 1t now
stands baked but not defeated, the
enemy Of four-flfths OF the world.
It is our business to see to it that
the history of the rest Vt The world IS
no longer left to its handling.
"The purposes Of the United States
in this war are known to the whole
worId-to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to como.
They do not need to be stated again.
We believe that the intoIerabIe
wrongs done in this war by the furious
and brutal power Of the imperial Cor.
man government ought to be repaired,
but not at tho expense Of the sover-
eighty Of any peope-rather a vindi-
cation Of the sovereignty, both Of
those that are weak and those that
are strong"
We hope President Wilson's re-
spouse to Pope Benedict's peace pro-
posals will reach the German people,
the Austro Hungarian people, the
armies of the central allies, and we
hope that no thinking American will
.reslect TO read in full this message of
wisdom ard hope. 1t will make better
Americans Of them. will strengthen
their loyalty to the cause of human
freedom. and their faith in democ-
racy.
