6T1HE WESTERN TOBACCO JOUR- | II NAL publishes the following: 1 = Reports from Washington that l China is to end the opium trade by pur-
 chasing the stock of the Shanghai opium combine bears out a recent forecast by Dow, Jones & Co. in discussing possibili-
 ties for American tobacco manufacturers
 in China. It was stated at that time that officials of the Tobacco Products corpo-
 ration believed the gradual elimination of
 the opium industry was certain and that if would be followed by a great increase
 in cigarette consumption.
 l Experts here estimate that 5O,OO0, ,OOO, GOO cigarettes were sold in China last year,
 when the opium industry was still flour ishing. This was nearly 100 per cent
 greater than the output of the United States in 1916 which showed sales of 25,- 1 25o 900 cigarettes"
 It is quite evident that if the state- widers and the nation widers win their 1 fight upon the sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States their next fight will l be upon tobacco. In such a situation 1t Is wise for vendors of tobacco to exploit China as quickly and as busily as is possible. It may be necessary for the to- bacco manufacturers to transfer their plants from Louisville, Richmond and other American cities to Shanghai, Can
 ton, Hankow and other cities in China
 It may be necessary for them to buy an arabic tract in the neighborhood--the 1 Philippines might do-and set up gov- 1 ernment of their own for the protection of tobacco growing. If the state-widers l and the still-widers should succeed in ! making 1t unlawful to dstill whisky from Kentucky corn in Kentucky their next effort would be to make it capital of fense to do any other work in tobacco
 plant bed than to >scrape it, and tobacco planting in Kentucky would follow whisky making into the limbo of things that were.
 l But would 1t be altogether safe to count
 upon China as a permanent market for 1 tobacco products? Once upon time | in the days when European had no hand | in Chinese affairs-tobacco was intro-

In the simple and di- rect manner by which the imperial gov err ment solved it's problems in those days an imperial edict was issued, to the ef- feet that anyone caught distributing to- bacco, or using it. would be decapitated A few heads and the price of tobacco fell. That ended the tobacco trade in the middle kingdom.
 Later opium was introduced, backed by the British army and navy, as an outlet British India China tried to prohibit opium. The opium war resulted, with de- feat for China and indemnity for Great Britain, and the freedom of China for English Christian rnissionares and opium traders. Modern international opinion any other effort to defeat an effort of China to inaugurate. the prohibition of any trade to which it's government might object
 To regard China as a certainty for the tobacco trade is perhaps i'll advised but the trade must look about for future fields if there is a probability of pro- hibition accomplishing in America the feats it contemplates. with the aid of a feminine vote which would be-or will be-about as nearly solid for the prohibit tion of tobacco as it will be for the pro- hibition of alcoholic beverag ges.
 If prohibition is to prevail in America the only chance for the cigarette is in China for time and in Europe perma- nently perhaps, because Europeans are not as violent as American reformers France forbids absinthe, but promotes the use of table wines. Tobacco is sent to the trenches. The American prohibi- tionist does not believe in halfway pro- hibition. He would prohibit everything except, of course, ''the right of personal use," meaning carefully fostered jug trade for the service of red nosed gentle men who regard distilling as crime and saloons as an abomination.

Danger to Trespassers

'Trespasslng on railway property, at an even greater hazard for the trespasser, now that it has become necessary to place armed guards at strategic points to prevent possible interference with the countrys transportation facilities through the depredations of enemy agents" said Southern railway system and chairman of the American Railway associations special committee on national defense, in calling attention to the impor- tance of all loyal citizens keeping off railway premises unless they have busi- ness thereon. "In addition to the ever present danger of being killed by train" Mir. Harrison continued, "the man who now trespasses on railway prop erty subjects himself to the peril of being shot, should he fail to heed the challenge OF the military guard; charged with the duty of protecting railway structures whose destruction would interfere se- riously with transportation, the guards cannot afford to take any changes. Un- fortunate occurrences can be avoided if citizens who have no business on rail- way property will keep off. It is espe- clally important that pedestrians who have been accustomed to walking tracks rather than public highways should un- derstand tho added danger and recognize that they can perform a patriotic service by avoiding it.''
