TO SMOKE OR NOT TO SMOKE.
Westminster @ azetta.


Some well-known doctors discuss in the cur
rent Young Man this well-worn theme. DR..
Andrew wilson thinks that for the majority
of mankind smoking is certainly not" bad
habit:
81 think cigarettes are apt to prove injur-
ious," continues DR.. Wilson, "because man
will smoke far too much when he INDUCES in
this form of the weed and because I think it is
generally admitted that cigarettes are apt to
produce evil effects out of all proportion to
the amount of tobacco which is apparently
consumed But used in moderation, what
evils, let me ask, are to be found in the train
OF the tobacco habit?"
Whenever anybody counterblasts to-day
against tobacco DR.. Wilson feels as did his old
friend Wilkie Collins when somebody tod him
that 10 smoke was wrong thing. "My dear
slr, " said the great novelist, call YOUR obiec-
tions to tobacco only Increase the relish with
which look forward to my next cigar
DR.. Norman Kerr says it would be impos ST
Bile for him, without disloyalty to science and
truth, to denounce the smoking of tobacco as
always injurious. The weed, among other
virtues that it possesses, is ''somew hat of a
disinfectant':
''If 1 had to-day to see patients in yellow
fever ward, long as is since l last sm oked, L
should smoke again as prOphyiaetic against
the dire disease. Tobacco smoke, on being
passed through the interior of hollow bulbs
lined with gelatiEe containing disease germs
has destroyed the microbes of cholera and
pneumonia"

STREETS sPRlNKLED WITH OIL,

The principal streets are sprinkled with unre-

instead of water for several reasons. In the
first Place it is more plentiful and cheaper.
IN the second place water cannot lay the dust
In that region they have protracted dry spells,

inches. The wind is very strong and sweeps

smooths water. After an oil sprinkling a

oil-sprinkled dust is much like walking on a

remedial agencies, in human welfare and

There is no natural law or super rhuman edict
limiting the term of life TO three score and
ten. That period is not boundary set by dis
pensation, but an average gathered from ex-
per1ence. There is no physical reason why 20
years, or 80 years or even 100 years should
be an exceptional length of life. What one
can do atother can DO, the conditions being
equal. The power 20 live for century exists
and there is no reason why the race should not
have its term of existence extended to the full
limit of human endurance. And it will be

THE HAWAIIAN
ANNEXATION QUESTION.
His Reasons UnanSwerable.
Woodland Democrat.

II is mystery to US how any
unprejudiced person can read
Senator Whites article in THE
SUNDAY CALL. giving his reasons
for opposing the annexation of
Hawaii, without being convinced
that his reasons are positively
unanswerable. That Senat
White Will make a vigorous op-
position in the Senate is as
sured, but candor compels US
to admit that his opposition
is likely to prove trui;less. The
jIngos are not furnishing any
reasons for their own policy and
they obstinately close their ears
TO all appeals of reason and JUS
tice made by those who do not
want to see this Government re-
verse a national policy that is
as old as the republic itself
Not single newspaper on
this coast has written a half col
umn article In defense of an
nexation. Perhaps they are not
to blame for that, for there is pre-
cious little that can be said in de-
fense of such a policy. They SIM
ply assume that we are stronger,
wealthier and more intelligent
than the natives of Hawaii, there
fore, it is not necessary to consult
their wishes whenever we con-
clude that the islands are essen
tial, either TO our commercial
prosperity or our perfe ct defense.
In other words we may loot the
possessions of our neigh bors,
providing they are weaker than
we are, without being amenable to
the charge of robbery.
This means that the
American people propose to so-
cept Hawaii as gilt from those
who have no sort OF right to give
it away. 1t means that 2 per cent
of the population OF Hawaii will
arrogate 10 themselves the right
to cede away a territory over
hich they usurped the author
ity to rule, because they were
backed by a meddlesome United
states Minister. 1t means that 90
per cent of the population is not
to be consulted at all and that no
effort is to be made to ascertain
their wishes, or even the wishes
of the American people.
