TRAVELETTE


OPIUM HABIT IN CHINA.
MO one well acquainted with condi-
~ tons IN China doubts that thu
opium habit is still quite extensive
there. But It Is a gratifying fact
that the clandestine consumption OF
the drug has diminished greatly IN
the past two or three years.
Democracy has succeeded IN reduc-
ing the opium habit where autocracy
and oligarchy have failed China has
been battling with opium since the
18th century. when Il was first
brought into the country by Arab
caravans Because there was no pre-
cedent for it in tradition, the Chi
nese we're slow 10 adopt it. but by
the middle OF the 18th century, opium
smoking became so widespread an
evil that an imperial edict making il
punishable by death, was necessary
This served only to put a curtain OF
secrecy about the habit Europeans
had come to regard it as part OF the
white mans burden to keep the Chi
nese well supplied and in 1920. the
British East India company brought
more than 1900 chests OF opium into
the country.
Some years later a Chinese official
named Lin superintended The confis-
cation OF S10.000.eo0 worth OF British
owned opium and had it mixed with
lime and salt and cast into the sea
This action and subsequent actions
led TO the war Of 1882.
In 1906 opium smoking was again
placed under the imperial ban. but
the Manchu empire was already be-
ginning 10 totter and hardly anyone
gave heed to the edict- In 1913 pres
ident Yuan Sha Kai ordered a confis-
cation Of all smoking materials IN
China Great quantities OF opium.
pipes and apparatus were gathered
together and burned IN public places
But even this was not taken seriously
by the Chinese for many OF the Off
Gals who presided at the destruction
of pipes were known to be smokers
themselves
But China. still in the process OF
rebirth. realizes now that II she is TO
hold her place as a nation through
the coming generations. she must
throw off opium for good and for all
Authoritative figures. Of course. can
not be had but another decade may
see China entirely riddsd OF the curse.
