Yesterday afternoon at four
h I attended a very interest in*
ting ln the auditorium of tbe V.
C. A. Tbis meeting was beld for
purpose of forming a_ Intern
atonal anti-Opium Association bere in
Peking. Similar organisations have
been formed of late ln otber places
and tt is hoped to link tnta np wHta
earn other associations. It was attended by abont 50* people tbe larger
portion being Chinese and waa addressed by Englis*. American and
•blaeae speakers.
A few yeara ago it was thought that
the opinm trade in Cbina wonld soon
ha ended and England according to
agreement stopped tbe importation
ef Indian opinm after the contract
had expired. However as tbe importation of opinm and Its sale offered such an opportunity for big profits, aa illicit trade was carried on for
a time and it was later discovered
that tbe Opinm Combine in Shanghai
had several thousand chests of opium
which were still unsold. Tbe question arose as to tbs best method for
the disposal of all.tbat opinm and tbe
dealers offered to sell It to tbe Government wbicb eonld then sell it as
seeded for medical purposes etc.
Tbis was simply a blind to get rid of
the opinm and a great protest wss
raiaed, bat all to no purpoae and
same ot tbe corrupt government of-
•eiala, Vice-President Feng being
among tbem, arranged to buy tbe
•pium. Bat later because of tbe ef-
farts ot tbe public press and enlightened public opinion the government
ettil waa unable to do anything but
bald tbe opium in reserve. Finally
when Preaident Hsu assumed office
wt of his tirst atepa waa to order
the entire deatrnction of all that op-
ism. Tbia was a bold step aa tba op-
jam wss worth millions of dollars and
the government wss sadly In need of
ney to carry on its csmpsign
Inst tbe South. But tbe Preei-
it was firm and the opium was finally all burned and the President
wen much respect and esteem from
all right-minded Chinese and foreigners.
Because tbe country bas been in a
state of civil war for some time and
military governors of the different provinces bave heen In need of
funds, tbey have allowed again the
iltlvation of the poppy wbicb for
a time bad been almost suppressed.
■Sort are now being made to stop
and it seems that as soon as
J law is abolisbed in some of
the .provinces and the Tacbans or
military governora are pot back in
their right place tbe cultivation of
tbe poppy can be again suppressed.
One of tbe speakers at tbe meeting
yesterday waa a representative of tbe
preaident wbo read a letter from the
Preaident aaauring tba Association of
hla bearty approval and support and
affirming that It was bis avowed purpose to rid tbe country of opium and
MS evils.
At the meeting another danger and
stril practice was mentioned. Tbe
Director Genera! of Customs told
how easy it wss to smuggle in small
pieces of opinm in bales of goods,
clothing, merchandise of all sorts,
mod on tbe bodies of persons entering tbe country. Worse tban tbat
there baa arisen an immense traffic
la morphine and its deriyities and
many 1b China are becoming victims
of tbese dangerous babit forming
drags. Tbere are stringent rales
against tbe Importation of tbese
drags except for medical purposes
hot ia most Instances tbey are
smuggled in on tbo persona of travel-
jmre, many of whom ara Japaneee and

Chinese custom cflicia's. Tbe drugs
are also brousht into tbe country
thru the Japanese postoflica wbicb also cannot he searcned by anyone except Japanese themselves. Thus
after tbe drues once get into tbe
conntry il is an eaey matter for
agents in any vitiate tu sell tbem. It
coata but a few cuppers for ao injection and many o* the poorer classes
are fast becoming victims of tbe habit. 1 havejseen patients in tbe hospital whose arms snd legs were simply a mass of scars where tbey ha 1
been injected. Protests have been
made to Japan but so far not much 1
bas come of it all.
As a part of tbe work of opium reform, oue of tbe Tientsin papers,
which is British ownet, and therefore able to express it- own opinions
without fear of being suppressed for
doing so, as are many of tne Chinese
papers, published a list uf Japanese
drug stores in Tientsin wbare opium
or morphia bad been purchased by a
representative of tbe paper, l'sools
ln otber cities were aleo invited to
send in tbe names of stores, eitber
Japanese or Chinese where these
drngs could be obtained. Many persons at once availed themselves of
the opportunity to bring to publicity
the evil whicb they bad lotig known
to be existing in tbeir neigh t.orhood
Day by day tbe list grew ar.d much
exilement was caused by tbe publicity of the matter.
One of tbe Japanese owned papers
threatened to bring snit ag_.ii._t the
paper for slander etc., bnt It ia needless to say tbat sucb a tbing would
have Deen folly as sucb action would
have only brought more facta to light.
Tbe Japaneae paper want on to say-
in retaliation that "in order to blind
tbe Chinese to tbe illicit trade In opinm and morphia whicb tbe British
and American people were carrying
on, the British paper waa trying to
throw tbe the blame on the Japanese"
Tbla Japaneae paper then went on
to Accuse both American and British
people of importing tbeee drugs and
of "storing tbem in tbe different educational and missionary institutions
witn wbicb they were connected.
Of course nothing conld be farther
tban tbis from tbe truth and all thinking Chinese know it,
Tba agitation concerning these
drugs bas bad a good effect It bas
made the customs officers more careful and recenely tbey eeixed ten
pounds of morpbia whicb waa ad-
certain Japaneee  drug
resources of our state and said if
Michigan was shut off from tbe rest
of the world, tbe atate haa enougb
resources to supply its wants for any
length of time, being able to produce
any article of commerce hut cotton.
The second paper was very well
presented by Mrs. E. A. Anderson
and was a sketch of the life of Ne-
vins. Nevius was one of the best
of tbe American composers and died
at an early age, leaving a number of
valuable compositions. Among tbe
best known is tbe instrumental piece
entitled Narcissus, and the song,
•'The Rosary. " He composed many
songs for cbildren. He was married
and bad two children, a son and a
daughter. After a discussion of tbis
paper, the president asked Mrs. A. J.
Doberty to give a abort talk on par-
i liamentary rules, as Mrs. Mack was
not able to be present and conduct
that .study aa usual. A number of
importaut points in parliamentary
rules were presented by Mre.-Doberty.    The  Club  adjourned   lo   meet

of tbe Louisville Courier Journal, 01 e-
of the most influential and widely
known papers in tbe country, fie le
now at tbe bead of a leagce in opposition to the scheme of a La-ague of
Nations. That be sizes Mr. Wilson
up correctly we think an increasingly
large number of people in tbia conntry
wiil agree and a goodly number of
tbem a/e in hie own party. Mr. Watt-
erson says:
I tbink events, helped alone by the
president himself, will verify my
forecast that be is cot merely a candidate for third term in the Wbite
House, but tbat for a non, ina? ion to
such be bolds aii tbe winning cards
in bis bands.
Tbe Democratic party, so called, be
long ago aboli"hed, baving previously
mucb debauched it. Nothing of it
survives except the tattered label,
and be holds that betwixt hte tbnmb
and forefingers. I am inclined to believe, however, that be bas eliminated the L'nited States from his immediate activities as an established conquest,and is now giving bis mighty
thought to tbe sublimation of tbe
world.
A virtuous, right-minded man tbua
situate would emulate the humility of
a Washington and the humanity or a
Lincoln. Mr. Wilson seem nothing
but himself and his peisonsl exaltation: lives tor nothing except bis own
advantage; seeks nothing save power
and authority, the concrete things
of rulership represented by the regal
splendors and feudal glories, whicb,
tho somewhat frazzled and faded,
still go on about him.
As a consequence of bis maladroit
tinkering Europe will find itselt tbe
middle of the coming summer in

Wben tbe great Jebovab interjected
such a sinister spirit into our affairs
it must bave Deen to punish ns for
