New Jersey has set a good precedent
in forbidding the sale of cigarettes to
boys under the age of sixteen, though
many will think that the forbidden
limit might have been increased a
year or two without disadvantages.
Other municipal authorities would
merit more praise than they usually
contrive to deserve if they followed the
example. Boys scarcely out of short
clothes may be seen putting on the
most pernicious form of the weed, and
it is no uncommon thing for the brats
to stop grown men to ask for light
from their cigars. The evil should be
stopped unless we want to see a race
Of dwarfed and puny weaklings grow
ing up aronnd us.

1t is well established principle that the
people make the place-not its facilities for
business. 1t is true that an energetic and
prosperous people may be kept back by q
lack Of natural advantages, but this is not
often the case. A Thousand towns are kept
in check by the greed and lack OF public
spirit OF the people. where one is kept down
by the location. Push and euergy overcome
all obstacles greed and want Of energy Will
kill the most promising locality. 80 town
is to be Just what it citizens make it. II It's
land owners hold its lots 50 high that manu-
factories are kept out, this will act as q
weight to keep it down. Ii the citizens
prefer to patronize the merchants anu me-
chanics OF other places, that helps to keep
the place down. What is wanted 10 for
the people to be united as far as public good
is concerned d. PatrOnizs each other as Tar
as possible any new enterprise, especially
manufactures, give warm greeting TO any
new settler. and give sid so far As may be IN
everything that shall tend to the public
good. If this policy is pursued, town Will
rapidly grow. II, on the contrary, the peo-
pie refuse aid to every enterprise, unless
they are to get big slice Of the profit ;
look upon every new arrival as pigeon to
be plueked, and patronize their neighbors
only when they cannot do as vel! or better
somewhere else. then place will grow slow
Iy, if a. all its natural advantages go to
waste, and count as nothing in the question
of prosperity.
