FATHER BERNARD VAUGHAN'S INTERESTING SPECULATION.
The twenty-fifth annual dinner of the Press Club was held on zoth ult, at the Criterion. About 200 members and guests were present, and Mr. W. A. Sutherland, the chairman of the club, presided.
The Rev. Father Vaughan, who proposed the toast of "The Press Club," said that the duty of the Press was not merely to please or to gratify the bulk of its readers. It had a nobler and loftier mission than that: It had to turn the searchlights of truth upon dark and hidden deeds of cruelty and iniquity, of impurity and misery. It was for the Press to search oot

It had often occurred to hire to think what would be St. Paul's attitude towards the Press, supposing he were to come back to life in the twentieth century. The Press, he thought, would have had his sympathy and support, and though perhaps too busy a man to become the editor of a London daily, he would have deput.

DRASTIC MEASURES BY COUNCIL

[From Our Own Correspondent,]
Shanghai, 23rd November,
2.95 p.m.
The Chinese Council of State has
suppression of the cultivation and drafted now regulations for the speedy`
use of opium throughout the Empire, and an Imperial Edict, enforcing the regulations, is expected to be issued
shortly.
The measures proposed are ex- ceedingly drastic, and will prohibit the opening of new opium-shops, while all officials of under sixty years of age will be called upon to abandon the habit within six months.
The area now given over to poppy cultivation is to be reduced one-tenth annually.
[The above telegram has been received just as we go to press, and emphasizes the import- ance of the anti-opium mavement going on in other parts of the Far East, as instanced'in our leaderette in to-night's insue. Whilst we should
fail to see that so drastic a method as that sug- be in a measure pleased to see theslow and gra dual decline in the use of the drug in China, we rested above, of stamping out the oplum habit, can be of any practical use. The opium con- sumer will be in much the same position as that-- of the small boy that has been forbidden to make cigarettes he will continue to smoke and lie about it. We doubt if any sumptuary or blue law, by reason of its very rabidness, will ever be found to cope with the habit, The change must be more slowly and carefully arranged. Ed.-H.K.T.
