“THCGATEOT ATTUNDRED SORROWS”
‘UCH is the title of a telling short story by Rudyard Kipling. It is a Hindoo story, but many another could
be written with California, rather than one of the Bengal provinces, for its theater of action.
It was the opium habit that drove the desperate men in
Folsom to plan their break for liberty, as it was the craving
for that drug that-led Convict James-Roberts into captivity,
and it is not impossible that the same masterful craving may
work the'jundoing of other members of that desperate gang.
It is not far wide of the mark to affirm that there are more
confirmed opium “fiends” than habitual drunkards in California. Their name is legion. Men who are brought into
close contact with the “hobo” fraternity are ready to affirm
that a large share of them are opium “fiends,” and denizens
of the half-world are in perhaps equal proportion ameng
those who have passed throngh “the gate of a hundred sorrows” never to pass out again.
Whether the opium habit is a cause of criminality or
criminality the cause of the opium habit may be matter for
debate, but the fact that the two, criminality and the opium
habit, are in close relation needs no proof. It is a matter of
common observation. ;
Opium makes men desperate. The most terrible crimes
are committed under its inspiration and, urged by the craving for the drug, there is no crime that the opium “fiend”
‘will not commit to obtain satisfaction for that craving; yet
satisfied, the ravening human beast become docile and would
not lift a hand in malice.
The stock story of the “fiend” is that he learned the use
of the drug and became a slave to it through illness and a
physician’s prescription. The truth more often is that he
become the associate of lewd and lawless companions and was
induced to take his first lesson out of curiosity, or the spirit
of perversity which had already come to characterize his con-. 8
duct. Only a few lessons were required to make his condemnation confirmed. Having passed in at “the gate of a
hundred sorrows” a few times, generally in a California
Chinatown, he goes in at the gate to come not out again
until carried out in his coffin.
Is it partly because we are so mightily concerned about
the drink evil that California is so blind to the danger of the
growing and greater evil of the opium and morphine habits?
Are we straining at the gnat and swallowing, without knowing it, the camel? It would not be easy to substantiate the
inference that the drink habit leads to opium, but very easy
_ indeed to show that laziness, loafing, ignorance of a trade or
other fruitful occupation leads, through vicious habits and
consorting with evil companions, to that “gate of a hundred
sorrows” which swings in, but not ont.

Tar sprinkled over macadamized
roads has been used in New Jersey to

France and has given much satisfaction to automobilists.
A great microbe farm has been established by an American vutside of
London, where a dozen or more chemists are employed in manufacturing
the most dreadful diseases known to
mankind and experimenting with remedies to cure them.
It ie to be regretted that violence
should accompany such a strike as the
one now existing in Ohicago, and yet
it is only what is to be expected. Ap
unguarded street car, far from help, is
too great a temptation to be resisted.
Even if the strikers themselves do not
atteck it, their lawless friends enjoy
the pleasure of breaking the windows.

his injury was attended to. "
