So DISTINGUISHED a man as Professor
Barnard, of Columbia College, has deemed
the matter of cigarette smoking by children
to be worthy his profound attention. He
declares that the habit is undermining the
health of the rising generation to a far
greater extent than the general public re-
alize. One of the evils is the craving it
creates for opiates, for nearly all cigarettes
are drugged. The Professor declares that
so monstrous is the evil as disclosed by
his investigation, that the law-making
power must grapple with it, or prepare for
a hospital system for the wrecks of the
habit, that will be of vast proportions and
enormous and ever-increasing cost. 1t
suggests itself to us that the idea of par
ents giving duty-attention to their sons
will go a long way towards correcting the
vice. 1t is all very well to clamor for the
Intervention of the law for the extirpa-
ton of these ills; but that should be the
ultimate appeal, the last resort, and de-
manded only after we have failed under
honest endeavor to accomplish the desired
end by parental rule.

TIE New York World SAYS

Minnesota has a new law prohibiting the pub
LEGATION of accounts OF legal executions An
Attorney GeneTal out there has decided that the
law is constitutional. What nonsense II a
Legislature can say that the press can be pro-
hibited from mentioning in detail a egalIZed
event, such as an execution, it can lay an EN-
barge upon every species of news. The press
cannot be gagged In this way. We are prepared
10 fight that style of Law right here in New
York
The reasoning of the World is illogical
The Legislature has and does exercise a
censorship over the press, and it is right
that it should do So For instance, it de-
termines-and it is the Judge in the matter
that it is against public policy and is
detrimental to the best interests of society
to permit the publication of obscene mat
ter. 1t properly forbids the advertising of
lotteries, and restraints the press from pub
fishing lewd pictures. Congress closes the
door of the Dead Letter Office against
press prying; it does not permit reporters
to take more than very limited privileges in
the MINIS, Navy Yards and Arsenals of
the Government. The Legislature closes
the doors Of the Courts 10 the press when
ever, in the judgment of the Court, the
good of society and the ends of justice re-
quire it; it shuts up the Grand Jury room
against the press, and prohibits it from
publishing State docuDeuts until officially
given out. Yes, the Legislature can DAY
an embargo" on any kind Of news that is
of a character dangerous to the public
peace, or that tends to corrupt public NOR
ais and swell the criminal ranks. It has.
IN the State Of Minnesota, solemnly de
termined that the purpose and aim Cd exc
cutting criminals will be subserved by add
ing to the tragedy the solemAity OF privacy
and darkness. We challenge the World
or any other intelligence to show that the
sensational reporting Of executions does
not detract from the force of the punish.
ment; we challenge it, on the testimony
of officers of experience, to show that
the sensationally reported execution
is not demoralizing TO the community and
destructive of the deterrent quality that it
is held resides in sach punishment-that,
in short, the public execution and the SEN
satienal report of it, do not stimulate crime
and do not absolutely bring men to the scat
fold, simply to enjoy the brief notoriety
that the infamy gives them through the
agency of the press.

4 VICTORIA paper declares that in Mr.
Adams time the United States contested
with Russia her claim that Bshring sea
was a closed sea, and that we are bound by
the position we then took. Pshaw! That
is the measurement some people make of
consistency. To be consistent is to be
right now, or to act now in the present
conviction Of what is right, just and true,
irrespective of what we thought, believed
or contended yesterday. But we did not
succeed in that contention with Russia.
She held out successfully against us, and
we retired from our claim defeated,
though We we're given merciful margin
of ten years in which to pack up our traps
and get out of the marine territory that
we claimed as a public common. Suisse
quently We purchased of Russia the larger
part of that territory, and with it al her
rights legal and equitable attaching thereto,
and whatever title she had maintained.
In the light of that fact we have the moral
right, and the legal right and the right of
consistency, for the matter of that, to
maintain the claim of our grantor.
