PREVENTING AUTO ACCIDENTS

In sending a number Of safety sug.
gestions to the City 'Ceuncil with the
view Of preventing automobile accidents,
the Columbia Commercial Club has tax.
en- a progressive step.
Automobile accidents have been mum.
crcus here recently. Many Of them, no
doubt, have been caused by sheer care.
lcssness. Some. on the other hand, have
been caused by the lack Of adequate reg.
ulation. So far none Of the accidents
this spring has been fatal, but a contjn-
usnce Of them viii probably result in
some fatalities.
The members Of the Commercial Club
advocated the putting Of safety signs for
autcists on dangerous corners, the use
Of certain arm signals and more strict
parking rules.

He Liked Columbia and Its People.
From the Marceiine Herald.
The newspaperman who can visit the
Athens Of Missouri and not be the bet
ter for it has certainly a strange make
up. And he who could mingle with the
fellows Of his craft for even the short
period Of forty-eight hours and not be
the wiser for it would indeed be a
rarity.
The close Of Journalism Week at Co.
lumbia was as pleasant as the days be.
fore had been. From Monday morning
until the last moments Of Friday night,
when Dean Williams closed the radio
banquet with the three hundred guests
standing, singing ''Old Missouri" the
week was productive of concrete results
and good fellowship, and the newspaper
man who attended should be glad Of the
opportunities he has given him.
And in passing, just word about that
banquet. Some one has said that a ban
quet was an ordinary meal, served in
in6nitesimal sections through three hours
of speeches. This one, in the spacious
ball room Of the Daniel Boone Tavern,
was the most perfectly appointed and ex.
cellently served this scribe ever had the
pleasure Of attending, and while speak
ers were there, one listened with interest
to all they said, for they did not talk
politics.
You meet some mighty fine people in
Columbia. The University students, who
come from all over the earth, are courte-
Gus to The stranger and make him at
home on sight, and the folks in Columbia
tIeat you as if you indeed were one of
them. The Herald representatives enjoy
ell pleasant visit at the hospitable home
Of the Hardaways, formerly of Marce-
line.
At an afternoon reception the new
president of the University, DR.. ]. C.
Jones, with his gracious lady, made the
newspaper folks feel at home some more,
and -rf1ose VINO had rffe good fortune to
be 'billeteda at the Daniel Boone Tav-
ern were Of truth at home.
The editor Of this paper first joined
the Missouri Press Association back in
1882 or thereabouts. One Of his pleas
ant recollections is a visit to Columbia
when young man, to attend session.
And from that time to the present we
have watched the steady advancement o.
HAT magnificent institution Of opportuni
", the University of Missouri, and felt
proud to know that we live in the great
state which has seen its graduates go

, REPREHENSIBLE PRACTICE.

More than l,273 tons Of opium were
manufactured in India last year by the
government and sent to all parts Of the
wo.ld. Although nearly every civilized
state in the world has rigid laws prohib-
iting the importation Of this drug, the
illicit traffic continues, as the above hg-
ures show, almos, unaba,cd. The Indian
Government is now the only nation that
permits the sale of this drug and oper.
aies monopoly over its production.
The sale and the encouragement of the
use Of such poisons as opium and NOR
phia has long been condemned as one
of the most iniquituous and reprehensi-
BILE practices against the well-being of
man. Ii is clear that the British Govern
ment in India maintains this vicious in
stituiion solely for the sake of gain, as
nearly half of the revenue of that gov.
crnmcai is derived from this source.
The practice is not confined TO India
alone In the Straits Settlements and
recently acquired mandaied territory in
Africa and Mesapotomia extends also the
opium monopoly. Such self-governing
countries as Canada, Australia or New
Zealand do not permit the importation
or use Of this dreaded narcotic. The
government monopoly viciimizes only
the helpless and the smaller colonial pos
sessions.
China, rescnting the inroads of the
drug from India, fought and lost two
wars in an attempt to stamp out the
forced importation of opium. Other
countries suffer probably as much as
China. Today opium. in great quanti-
tics, is being smuggled across almost ev.
cry national boundary in the world, mos,
Of this opium coming from India.
Every measure is now being adopted |
10 stamp out this traffic. but until the !
knife is applied to the root Of the evil
until the poppy fields are scourged from
the face Of the earth--opium traffic will
continue. Armies Of drug addicts, with |
emaciated bodies and blighted. minds,
will continue to populase the earth.
The British practice permitting the
great production Of opium to continue,
which necessarily leads to an unlawful |
mode Of disposing Of it, is morally wrong
Only three tons Of opium are required /
for medicinal purposes in the entire world
Production above that amount should be
stopped. A systematic search in every
country should be conducted for opium
ficcbooters. A new morality must pre-
vail in international dealings. Interna-
iional cooperation will mean much to-
wards the blotting out of existence of
opium,

Long ago, when Missouri was mostly
primal forest and Horace Creely was vet
to be born, there was a long, narrow
sandbar which ran far out into the Mis-
sissippi river at a certain point. Indians
used it as a ookout to see what was 60.
ing on up ard down the river. One day
NJ. Cirardoi French trader, coming up
the river, saw the sand bar and some Of
its possibilities in furthering trade. He
landed and established a trading station
where he could spot his customers long
before they knew he had an eye on Them
This marked the arrival of civilization in
the Missouri wilderness, according to
Fred Nacier of the Cape Crardeaa
Southeast Missourian, who lives on that
same sand bar which bears the French
mans name still and keeps weather
eye still on the river.
