THE CIGARETTE CURSE.
Can the Evil be stamped Out Enectu-

San the EVIL be stamped Out Encctu-
aiIys
Had the late Prince Albert Victor never
smoked a cigarette his constitution would
have been strong enough TO resist the at
tack to which he TO readily succumbed
The luckless young man, as the case with
so many of our youths, was cursed with
the cigarette craze, and boasted of the best
collection of the poisonous pleasure i'm ex-
istence. The cigarette is sapping the con-
stitution and the energy of Young Amer
lea to degree that is positively alarming
Statistics state that during the past six
months more than sixty cases of death
have been caused by smoking or inhaling
smoke from cigarettes, and that about
fifty persons have become crazy from the
habit.
The Legislatures of almost every State
have tried to restrict the sale of the
poisonous articles. Before the committee
of the Legislature of Michigan more than
two hundred of the leading ministers,
physicians and citizens appeared in favor
of the proposed law restricting sales
Professors of colleges, teachers of schools,
temperance societies, the Woman's Chris
tian Association, health associations and
many organizations are opposed to the use
Of cigarettes and would restrict their sale
They are looking anSiously for some bet
ter way than the passing OF State laws.
Some Of the reformers assert that the
most practical remedy seems to be an in
creased tax on cigarettes under the In
ternal Revenue Law. The tax is now fifty
cents thousand. By increasing the tax
to eight dollars thousand packages Of
ten cigarettes would be sold for fifteen
cents, thus preventing in very great
measure the use of them by poor boys.
But this would not deter our youths of
the middle and upper classes. There is
but one way to deal with this pernicious
custom-make it penal. Make the sale
penal, or the selling to be hedged around
as is the sale of poison.-Once A Week

LATE NEWS.
BLAINE IN THE RACE.


might in this city today you could
hear this refrain repeated with varl'
ations ad libitum. The remark ex-
presses the settled conviction of the
rank and file of both political par
ties as represented here and of the
Washington public in general. tits
evident, too, that this expression of
belief tallies with the hopes and
preferences of the great mass of Re-
publicans. They can not conceal
their Joy over the resuscitatiOn of the
Blame boom, and they don't try to
do so. The breakdown in the secre-
tary's determination dates back TO
the conference of Senators Cameron
and Quay and ex-senator Platt in
this city a few days ago, and since
Mr.. Blaine has been subject to an
enormous and constantly increasing
pressure, to which it would have
been impossible for any human being
to be Indifferent.
Gen. Clarkson, fresh from the AL.
ger conference in Detroit, is expected
to reach Washington shortly, and as
soon as he arrives he will go into
executive session with Sec. etary
Blaine for the purpose of forcing
from him his "final conclusion" The
secretary appears to be quite ready
for the question. To all the leading
Republicans who have been closeted
with him this past week he has given
intimations which were almost as
clear and satisfactory as direct state
ments would have been. Two of the
most prominent Republican con-
gressmen from New England called
on him this morning and labored
with him asslduously. They repre-
sented to him that 1t was evident
that nine-tenths of the Republicans
throughout the country were clamor-
ing for his nomination and that he
must heed their wishes. They said
that he need not say anything or do
anything before the convention, but
all that was asked of him was, if the
convention should nominate him, that
he would respond with ringing
letter of acceptance. The secretary
did not say eyes" to these gentlemen,
neither did he say "no."
What he did say and the manner
of saying it implied assent. To an
other gentleman prominent in the
Republican caucus who asked him
for similar assurance yesterday the
secretary said, with that eloquent
smile, "We will see." Such demeanor
is regarded here as susceptible of
only one Interpretation. Another
cause of encouragement to the friends
of Mr.. Blaine here is the alteration
in the attitude of Mrs Blame, who
is understood to have withdrawn her
veto and to be now willing that the
secretary should make the campaign.
There was large attendance at
the meeting of the Ladies' Worlds
Fair association, Saturday afternoon,
at the Montezuma club rooms. The
president was in the chair and other
officers were present. The minutes
of the previous meeting were read
and approved. The chairmen of va
rious committees reported, and their
reports were encouraging, showing
an interest is being taken and that
the work is we'll under way. Plans
for future work and entertainments
were discussed. Adjourned to meet
Saturday, June ls, 1909.
